Che cos'è la vita? La cellula vivente dal punto di vista fisico

I am convinced that theoretical physicists are the true mystics of our age. Being, on the whole, smart people, they have developed some useful tricks to reduce the occupational hazards of their calling; the most dangerous of these hazards is the ever-present possibility of being killed by an angry m Leggi tutto

I love reading explanations of biology from physicists; what once were magic and collections of 'just-so' stories become explanations of how and why processes occur the way they do. This book was single-handedly responsible for convincing dozens of physicists to chase issues biological and given I a Leggi tutto

شرودنجر هو أحد أعلام الفيزياء و بالذات نظرية الكم فهو أحد ثلاثة لهم أسماء رنانة في صياغة الفيزياء الحديثة بعد آينشتين و هم ماكس بانك و هايزنبرج بالإضافة إليه.هو هنا يتصدى لقضية لا تخصه و لكن من زاوية يمتلكها تماما و هي البحث في ماهية الحياة من الناحية الفيزيائية.كيف تعمل هذه الألات الضخمة التي تسمى Leggi tutto

In 1943, a scientist, at one remove from the world of biology, gave a series of lectures in Dublin - called provocatively ‘What Is Life?’. Erwin Schrödinger, had shared the Nobel prize in physics in 1933 for laying the foundations of wave mechanics. In his Dublin lectures, Schrödinger addressed what Leggi tutto

Many people give themselves the task to comprehend the present knowledge available in a particular field of their interest. This is not easy, but it seems like, Schrodinger, was capable of achieving this task, but not only this, he also created new knowledge in his field of profession of physics and Leggi tutto

Can Physics account fully for the mysteries of Biology? This is what Schrödinger wants to know. He ends up writing something half-mystical, half-radical and fully-confusing, as Manny says in another review to this book. Now the beauty of any sufficiently confusing book by a good/great scientist is t Leggi tutto

A naive physicist honestly ponders upon the mysteries of life, he just happens to be Erwin Schrodinger. However a word of warning, this book may be disconcerting to the truly naive physicist. Schrodinger admits the inability of physics to comprehend the living organism, the need for extra-physical l Leggi tutto

Pound-for-pound, quite possibly the most exciting book (outside of math/CS textbooks) I've ever read. Every home should have a copy.
