The demon in the machine - paul a. davies

When Darwin set out to explain the origin of species, he made no attempt to answer the deeper question: what is life?For generations, scientists have struggled to make sense of this fundamental question. Life really does look like magic: even a humble bacterium accomplishes things so dazzling that no human engineer can match it. And yet, huge advances in molecular biology over the past few decades have served only to deepen the mystery. So can life be explained by known physics and chemistry, or do we need something fundamentally new?In this penetrating and wide-ranging new analysis, world-renowned physicist and science communicator Paul Davies searches for answers in a field so new and fast-moving that it lacks a name, a domain where computing, chemistry, quantum physics and nanotechnology intersect. At the heart of these diverse fields, Davies explains, is the concept of information: a quantity with the power to unify biology with physics, transform technology and medicine, and even to illuminate the age-old question of whether we are alone in the universe.From life's murky origins to the microscopic engines that run the cells of our bodies, The Demon in the Machine is a breath-taking journey across the landscape of physics, biology, logic and computing. Weaving together cancer and consciousness, two-headed worms and bird navigation, Davies reveals how biological organisms garner and process information to conjure order out of chaos, opening a window on the secret of life itself.

Další velké otázky jsou pokračováním živé a vzrušující spolupráce mezi významným vědcem Paulem Daviesem a provokujícím tazatelem Phillipem Adamsem. V tomto zcela novém setkání tváří v tvář zkoumá tato dvojice hranice vědy, aby se dobrala řešení problémů okolo Velkých otázek, které si přední vědci v této době sami kladou. Od zborceného prostoru černých děr k paralelním vesmírům kvantové mechaniky Davies a Adams v knize Další velké otázky rozplétají některá z nejnáročnějších mystérií vesmíru. Jak začal život? Jsme ve vesmíru sami? Co se děje se skutečností v blázinci kvantové záhadnosti? Je vesmír uspořádaný nebo chaotický? Můžeme důvěřovat vědě, že nám odhalí pravdu? (knihydobrovsky.cz)

It is increasingly being weaponized — used as a way to shift responsibility for social problems from institutions to individuals.
