Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - What is Time Assuming no prior specialized knowledge by the reader, the book raises specific, hitherto overlooked questions about how time works, such as how and why anyone can be made to be, at the very same instant, simultaneous with events that are actually days apart. It examines abiding issues in the physics of time or at its periphery which still elude a full explanation such as delayed choice experiments, the brain's perception of time during saccadic masking, and more and suggests that these phenomena can only exist because they ultimately obey applicable mathematics, thereby agreeing with a modern view that the universe and everything within it, including the mind, are ultimately mathematical structures. It delves into how a number of conundrums, such as the weak Anthropic Principle, could be resolved, and how such resolutions could be tested experimentally. All its various threads converge towards a same new vision of the ultimate essence of time, seen as a side effect from a deeper reality. …

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Until recently, individual lives were said to be the end product of a series of chemical accidents, the current culmination by happenstance of a long chain of random mechanistic, chemical events. Life was held to have begun as an extremely unlikely statistical fluke-a vanishingly unlikely event brought about by the random coming together of chemicals forming the first chemical building blocks of life, which then started catalyzing themselves into ongoing replication. Every one of us-and indeed the whole biosphere-were held to be, millions of years on, the current outcome of this process. But this erstwhile reductionist view has evolved, broadly leaving us with two new alternative views of who we are. A first view is that we are the Universe's apex dissipative structures, brought forth by a meaningless Universe blindly beholden to the laws of mathematics, tasked with helping the Universe best conform to these laws. But life is information, and the new physics shows that there is much more to information than was once thought. Life may thus be richer than mere dissipative structures, and therefrom the destiny of sentient beings more complex than that of mere temporary structures. Tentatively exploring further down that road, we encounter many of the questions that were raised before. Do such questions make sense in the light of current science? Should the universe not be entirely meaningless and blind, what does it say about destiny? And why are so many destinies so tragic.…

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Most studies of consciousness proceed from a standpoint where external reality already pre-exists. As such, these studies would be inherently unable to recognize it if consciousness in fact arose at the same level where reality itself takes its source¿at the level where wave functions collapse and thereby generate the fabric of material reality.At the same time, a number of compelling contemporary interpretations of physics strongly hint that consciousness must most likely be a fundamental constituent of reality, that it cannot be emergent, and that the role of the brain is limited to the harnessing, optimization, and deployment of consciousness within material reality¿aka the realm of collapsed wave functions. This view seems to be also supported by a range of credible observations made by a number of credible professionals who operate at the margins of studies of consciousness, such as psychiatrists, who occasionally observe puzzling cases involving unusual phenomena related to consciousness. If we back-engineer the inevitable macroscopic consequences of a consciousness born at the same level as the building blocks of physical reality itself, we discover that such marginal phenomena become then fully explainable. The book offers readers new insights into interpretations of current research in physics and enables readers without a background in physics to understand the implications and their relevance to our understanding of consciousness.…
