Kuantum Sinirinda Yasam

Kraliyet Akademisi Bilim Kitabi Ödülü 2015 FinalistiYilin En Iyi Bilim Kitabi-Amazon-Kuantum teorisi karsisinda hayrete düsmemis bir kimse, onu an-lamamis demektir. -Niels Bohr-Yasam bilinen evrendeki en olaganüstü fenomen. Peki ama nasil isliyor Icinde bulundugumuz klonlama ve sentetik biyoloji caginda dahi su gercekle yüz yüzeyiz bugüne kadar hic kimse tamamen cansiz bir maddeden canli yarata-bilmis degil. Yasami olusturmanin tek yolu hala yasamin yine kendisi. Öyleyse yasamin mayasina dair hayati bir bileseni gözden kaciriyor olabilir miyizRichard Dawkinsin, evrime bakisimizi tümden degistiren kitabi Gen Bencildir gibi Kuantum Sinirinda Yasam da yasam dinamiklerine dair anlayisimizi bastan sekillendiriyor. Jim Al-Khalili ve Johnjoe McFadden, birikimlerini benzersiz an-latim yetenegiyle bir araya getirerek, gözden kacirdigimiz bilesenin, varliklarin ayni anda iki farkli yerde bulunabildigi, hayaletimsi baglantilar kurabildigi ve gecilmez görunen engellerin icinden gecebildigi kuantum mekanigi dunyasinda gizli oldugunu ortaya koyuyor. Bizleri göz alici bir hizla gelisen ve uygulama-lariyla cigir acmasi beklenen kuantum biyolojisi ile tanistirirken muammalarin en büyügü olan Yasam nedir sorusuna yepyeni bir bakis getiriyor Yasam kuantum sinirinda yasar.

Sunfall

From renowned theoretical physicist, broadcaster and author Jim Al-Khalili, comes this thrilling debut novel drawing on cutting-edge science and set in a near-future full of dazzling technologies. 2041 and the world as we know it grinds to a halt. Our planet seems to be turning against itself - it would appear that the magnetic field, that protects life on Earth from deadly radiation from space, is failing . . . Desperate to quell the mass hysteria that would surely follow, world governments have concealed this rapidly emerging Armageddon. But a young Iranian hacktivist stumbles across the truth, and it becomes a race against time to reactivate the earth's core using beams of dark matter. As a small team of brave and brilliant scientists battle to find a way of transforming theory into practice, they face a fanatical group intent on pursuing their own endgame agenda: for they believe mankind to be a plague upon this earth and will do anything, commit any crime, to ensure that the project fails . . .And so bring about humanity's end.

What the Future Looks Like
