What We Cannot Know
Britain's most famous mathematician takes us to the edge of knowledge to show us what we cannot know. Is the universe infinite? Do we know what happened before the Big Bang?

The World of Cant (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from The World of Cant Most of the shops along the route were closed for ordinary business; the goods which the windows usually contained having been withdrawn in favour of reserved seats to view the procession, the large profits of which were another gratifying indication, especially to the trades men, of the popular enthusiasm.
