العنوان الفرعي للكتاب | The Growth Of Order In The Universe |
وصف الكتاب | This fascinating study of chaos and order in the universe marks a new direction in scientific approaches to these areas. Rejecting Laplacian notions of `meaningless', coincidental order and of a ruling tendency towards dissolution and chaos, Layzer draws physics, biology, chemistry, and astronomy into a fluid philosophy of order, able to accommodate the individual act and random event without causing structural breakdown. Layzer manages to be both entertaining and very convincing at the same time. Among the intriguing side issues he brings up are a new theory for the origins of the universe and a physical explanation for why off-key musical notes jar. |
المراجعة التحريرية | any well-written, authoritative, wide-ranging book, explaining and relating developments in a variety of fields, is to be welcomed ... David Layzer's book, Cosmogenesis, fills all these criteria ... there are lots of well presented facts in this book' E. Squires, Contemporary Physics, 1992, volume 33, number 3 'Layzer certainly has a great deal to say that is interesting and thought-provoking, specifically on thermodynamics and quantum mechanics.' Charles Jenkins, The Observatory, Vol. 112, No. 1109, August 1992 " I found every chapter stimulating, thought provoking, wide ranging, philosophically sensitive, and thoroughly enjoyable.... This is a book inspired by a genuine passion for the light that science can cast and which spans many of the great questions of being with an understated, controlled, spiritual, optimism."
