BOOKS BY THIS AUTHOR
- Title: The Cosmic Blueprint
- Description:
The Greek philosophers believed that the cosmos unfolded according to a predetermined plan. Modern science sees nature ruled by blind and random forces. In this book, the author investigates some discoveries in the forefront of current scientific research which show that matter and energy have an ability to be self-organizing. He argues that wherever complexity is studied - in chemical reactions, fluid motion, biological evolution, artificial intelligence - certain common holistic principles are found. He suggests that the universe as a whole possesses a tendency to develop towards progressively higher levels of complex organization and not, as is sometimes argued, nothing but a meaningless collection of particles. Professor Davies has written several books including "God and the New Physics" and "Superforce".
