  • The Living Galaxy

    Winners and Losers in the Milky Way

    by Eugenio Mieli, Andrea Maria Francesco Valli, Claudio Maccone ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book describes the possible distribution of life in the Milky Way. Our description is mathematical in order to be extrapolated from what we know that happened on Earth to what might have happened on the huge number of extrasolar planets existing in the Milky Way Galaxy. We use the statistical Drake equation, which identifies parameters for calculating the total number of life forms at all ... Read more

  • Evo-SETI

    Life Evolution Statistics on Earth and Exoplanets

    by Claudio Maccone ...
    This book offers a vision of how evolutionary life processes can be modelled. It presents a mathematical description that can be used not only for the full evolution of life on Earth from RNA to modern human societies, but also the possible evolution of life on exoplanets, thus leading to SETI, the current Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence.The main premise underlying this mathematical ...

  • Life on the Edge

    The Coming of Age of Quantum Biology

    by Johnjoe McFadden, Jim Al-Khalili ...
    New York Times bestseller • Life on the Edge alters our understanding of our world's fundamental dynamics through the use of quantum mechanics.Life is the most extraordinary phenomenon in the known universe; but how did it come to be? Even in an age of cloning and artificial biology, the remarkable truth remains: nobody has ever made anything living entirely out of dead material. Life remains the ... Read more

  • Life's Ratchet

    How Molecular Machines Extract Order from Chaos

    by Peter M Hoffmann ...
    Life is an enduring mystery. Yet, science tells us that living beings are merely sophisticated structures of lifeless molecules. If this view is correct, where do the seemingly purposeful motions of cells and organisms originate? In Life's Ratchet, physicist Peter M. Hoffmann locates the answer to this age-old question at the nanoscale.Below the calm, ordered exterior of a living organism lies ... Read more

  • Emmy Noether's Wonderful Theorem

    by Dwight E. Neuenschwander ...
    One of the most important—and beautiful—mathematical solutions ever devised, Noether’s theorem touches on every aspect of physics."In the judgment of the most competent living mathematicians, Fräulein Noether was the most significant creative mathematical genius thus far produced since the higher education of women began."—Albert EinsteinThe year was 1915, and the young mathematician Emmy Noether ...

  • Quantum Evolution

    Life in the Multiverse

    by Johnjoe McFadden ...
    Quantum Evolution presents a revolutionary new scientific theory by asking: is there a force of will behind evolution? In his astonishing first book, Johnjoe McFadden shows that there is.‘McFadden’s bold hypothesis that quantum physics plays a key role in the origin and evolution of life looks increasingly plausible. The weird behaviour of matter and information at the quantum level could be just ... Read more

  • Plant Physics

    by Karl J. Niklas, Hanns-Christof Spatz ...
    From Galileo, who used the hollow stalks of grass to demonstrate the idea that peripherally located construction materials provide most of the resistance to bending forces, to Leonardo da Vinci, whose illustrations of the parachute are alleged to be based on his study of the dandelion's pappus and the maple tree's samara, many of our greatest physicists, mathematicians, and engineers have learned ...

  • The Equations of Life

    How Physics Shapes Evolution

    by Charles S. Cockell ...
    A groundbreaking argument for why alien life will evolve to be much like life here on EarthWe are all familiar with the popular idea of strange alien life wildly different from life on earth inhabiting other planets. Maybe it's made of silicon! Maybe it has wheels! Or maybe it doesn't. In The Equations of Life, biologist Charles S. Cockell makes the forceful argument that the laws of physics ... Read more

  • Path Integrals In Quantum Mechanics, Statistics, Polymer Physics, And Financial Markets (5th Edition)

    by Hagen Kleinert ...
    This is the fifth, expanded edition of the comprehensive textbook published in 1990 on the theory and applications of path integrals. It is the first book to explicitly solve path integrals of a wide variety of nontrivial quantum-mechanical systems, in particular the hydrogen atom. The solutions have been made possible by two major advances. The first is a new euclidean path integral formula which ... Read more

  • Origins

    The Scientific Story of Creation

    by Jim Baggott ...
    What is life? Where do we come from and how did we evolve? What is the universe and how was it formed? What is the nature of the material world? How does it work? How and why do we think? What does it mean to be human? How do we know? There are many different versions of our creation story. This book tells the version according to modern science. It is a unique account, starting at the Big Bang ... Read more

    From Biosignatures to Technosignatures

    by Manasvi Lingam, Avi Loeb ...
    A rigorous and scientific analysis of the myriad possibilities of life beyond our planet.“Are we alone in the universe?” This tantalizing question has captivated humanity over millennia, but seldom has it been approached rigorously. Today the search for signatures of extraterrestrial life and intelligence has become a rapidly advancing scientific endeavor. Missions to Mars, Europa, and Titan seek ... Read more
