Science and the Unseen World

Science and the Unseen World is a book written by the renowned British astronomer and physicist, Arthur Stanley Eddington. The book explores the relationship between science and the spiritual or mystical aspects of the world. Eddington delves into the concept of the unseen world, which he defines as the realm beyond the physical world that science can observe and measure. He argues that there are phenomena that cannot be explained by science alone and that there is a need for a more holistic approach to understanding the universe. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the nature of reality, the limits of scientific knowledge, the role of consciousness in the universe, and the connection between science and religion. Eddington also discusses the theories of some of the most influential thinkers in the field of science and philosophy, such as Albert Einstein, Henri Bergson, and William James. Overall, Science and the Unseen World is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between science and spirituality. Eddington's insights and arguments continue to be relevant today and provide a unique perspective on the nature of the universe.1929. Swarthmore Lecture.
