評分老樣子,中英混搭閱讀 很吸引人的選題,迫不及待想知道後麵有哪些謎題等在那裏
評分order from order, that's enough, Chaos, f*** it.
評分作者講解的惟妙惟肖。文傻也可藉此浮光掠影一窺量子世界的奇妙。
Jim Al-Khalili (Author)
Professor Jim Al-Khalili, OBE is an academic, author and broadcaster. He is a leading theoretical physicist based at the University of Surrey, where he teaches and carries out research in quantum mechanics. He has written a number of popular science books, including Pathfinders: The Golden Age of Arabic Science. He has presented several television and radio documentaries, including the BAFTA-nominated Chemistry: A Volatile History and The Secret Life of Chaos.
Johnjoe McFadden (Author)
Professor Johnjoe McFadden is Professor of Molecular Genetics at the University of Surrey and is the editor of leading text books on both molecular biology and systems biology of tuberculosis. For over a decade, he has specialised in examining tuberculosis and meningitis, inventing the first successful molecular test for the latter. He is the author of Quantum Evolution and co-editor of Human Nature: Fact and Fiction and writes for the Guardian on topics including GM crops, psychedelic drugs and quantum mechanics.
Life is the most extraordinary phenomenon in the known universe; but how does it work? Even in this age of cloning and synthetic biology, the remarkable truth remains: nobody has ever made anything living entirely out of dead material. Life remains the only way to make life. Are we missing a vital ingredient in its creation?
Like Richard Dawkins' The Selfish Gene, which provided a new perspective on how evolution works, Life on the Edge alters our understanding of life's dynamics. Bringing together first-hand experience of science at the cutting edge with unparalleled gifts of exposition and explanation, Jim Al-Khalili and Johnjoe Macfadden reveal the hitherto missing ingredient to be quantum mechanics and the strange phenomena that lie at the heart of this most mysterious of sciences. Drawing on recent ground-breaking experiments around the world, they show how photosynthesis relies on subatomic particles existing in many places at once, while inside enzymes, those workhorses of life that make every molecule within our cells, particles vanish from one point in space and instantly materialize in another.
Each chapter in Life on the Edge opens with an engaging example that illustrates one of life’s puzzles – How do migrating birds know where to go? How do we really smell the scent of a rose? How do our genes manage to copy themselves with such precision? – and then reveals how quantum mechanics delivers its answer. Guiding the reader through the maze of rapidly unfolding discovery, Al-Khalili and McFadden communicate vividly the excitement of this explosive new field of quantum biology, with its potentially revolutionary applications, and also offer insights into the biggest puzzle of all: what is life? As they brilliantly demonstrate here, life lives on the quantum edge.
书是好书,语言简洁,语料贴近生活,字里行间亦可窥见译者的呕心沥血。然而读完后对于量子学,化学,生物学三者之间的关系,之间是否真能互相支持解释仍然云里雾里。最大的收获是更进一步了解了量子学的内容,应用以及最新科研成果。 摘抄: 1.电子自旋: 电子的自旋无法用速度衡...

評分有个流传很广的科学假设:一只猴子拥有无限生命,它不停地随机打字,尽管需要漫长到难以想象的时间,总有一天会碰巧打出莎士比亚全集;假如这只猴子不停地随机排列原子,总有一天也会碰巧创造出一个“有意识的生物”。猴子造出万物?不,最初的生命只是原子们恰好遇到了...
評分迁徙的动物是如何找到远在万里的家的?微小的光子是如果被植物捕捉并实现超高效光合作用的?人类的DNA为什么可以实现高精度的复制?人类的意识如何产生,甚至生命是如何起源的?这些困扰科学家多年的问题看起来无一不是高深莫测,他们之间看起来却是风马牛不相及。然而,«神...
評分作为高中时代最喜欢物理的人来说,很喜欢书里的一句话,生物的本质是化学,化学的本质是物理。瞬间物理的逼格上升到无限高有木有!!! 好吧,说正经的,这本书贯穿讲了物理、化学、生物,高中后就再也没看过理科书籍自然对里面的概念似懂非懂,毕竟本应该学过的也忘记得差不多...
