The alien space of science: coherent but unreachable directions
Original: The alien space of science: Coherent but cognitively unavailable directions
A new paper on arXiv argues that science occupies conceptual territory that is coherent but cognitively unavailable, meaning there may be valid directions of research that human minds simply cannot grasp or explore. The essay-style work is drawing attention among readers interested in the philosophy of science and the limits of human cognition.
Why now: It raises provocative questions about whether there are whole areas of knowledge human thinking can never reach.
