From Strange Simplicity to Complex Familiarity: A Treatise on Matter, Information, Life and Thought 1st Edition by Manfred Eigen (PDF)

Description

This book presents a vivid argument for the almost lost idea of a unity of all natural sciences. It starts with the “strange” physics of matter, including particle physics, atomic physics and quantum mechanics, cosmology, relativity and their consequences (Chapter I), and it continues by describing the properties of material systems that are best understood by statistical and phase-space concepts (Chapter II). These lead to entropy and to the classical picture ofquantitative information, initially devoid of value and meaning (Chapter III). Finally, “information space” and dynamics within it are introduced as a basis for semantics (Chapter IV), leading to an exploration of life and thought as new problems in physics (Chapter V).Dynamic equations – again of a strange (but very general) nature – bring about the complex familiarity of the world we live in. Surprising new results in the life sciences open our eyes to the richness of physical thought, and they show us what can and what cannot be explained by a Darwinian approach. The abstract physical approach is applicable to the origins of life, of meaningful information and even of our universe.

⭐Nice

⭐This book is the worthy legacy of a dying species of polymath, who used to be comparatively frequent with Humboldt, Goethe, Leibniz, to name but a few. With the 20.cent. they have rarely been present on the specialization of research geared towards the commercialization of innovation. A passion beyond the scientific focus of a specialization is all too often without the prospect of financing and is, in effect, almost a hobby. Manfred Eigen counts for me with this book to this rare species with a holistic view of the world.

⭐a must read book for those who has quest for knowing
