    Life On The Edge

    The Coming Of Age Of Quantum Biology

    Are we missing a vital ingredient in its creation? Like Richard Dawkins' The Selfish Gene, which provided a new perspective on evolution, Life on the Edge alters our understanding of life's dynamics as Jim Al-Khalili and Johnjoe Macfadden reveal the hitherto missing ingredient to be quantum mechanics.

    Leven is eenvoudig

    Ockhams scheermes en een nieuwe geschiedenis van de wetenschap en het heelal

    In ‘Leven is eenvoudig’ richt Johnjoe McFadden een monument op voor William van Ockham, een dwarse denker, die volgens hem als oervader van de moderne wetenschapsbeoefening mag worden beschouwd. We volgen het scheermes in de handen van Copernicus, Galilei, Newton, Darwin en Einstein. En passant verklaart McFadden de oorsprong en evolutie van ons heelal. Engeland, veertiende eeuw. Een franciscaner monnik, William van Ockham, gaat in tegen de dan heersende theologische opvatting en scheidt wetenschap van religie. Zijn nieuwe filosofische positie brengt hem in conflict met de paus en Ockham vlucht naar München. Ockhams scheermes (de these dat alle aannames die niet bijdragen aan het verklaren van een verschijnsel moeten worden weggelaten) is tegenwoordig een van de bekendste theoretische principes. Gek genoeg is de naamgever Ockham zelf minder bekend.
