Short description Beyond Reason presents eight concrete examples of the worlds unsolvable problems. Yet, rather than acting as dead ends, these unworkable problems actually enrich the pursuit of science and math. Among the "impossibilities" are some of the mathematical theorems we will never prove (Godel's Theorem); the math problems that are so thorny, computers can solve them only by taking an infinite amount of time (Cook's Theorem); and the systems (such as weather) whose long-term behavior cannot be predicted (Chaos Theory).
