This book tries to argue that we've got as close to objective truth about the universe as we'll ever do:

and that most remaining science is just find of filling in the tiny bits.

I personally don't expect anything that will change with respect to backwards time travel or faster than light travel.

Not so kind, but I loved to read that!! Thanks!

I'll definitely buy http://www.amazon.com/The-End-Science-Knowledge-Scientific/d... as well, the books he recommends w.r.t. Prigogine.
