| Abstract: | I raise questions regarding the unknown and the unknowable in science. I also briefly address two topics which have been much in the news in 1996, and which might erroneously be confused with my topic. These are, first, the book by John Horgan, called The End of Science, and second, the great hoax played on the editors of "Science Wars." |
