Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Is all life up of yes-no, heads-tails decisions Is the computer, with its binary 0-1 'bits' of information, our best model yet for describing the universe The author offers a fascinating introduction to the hot new physics of information. He takes us on a thrilling journey from quantum teleportation, to DNA computing, to the insides of black holes and other cosmological puzzles. Siegfried interviews top scientists - biologists working with the mathematics of DNA, quantum physicists studying quantum cryptography, and neuroscientists mapping the mysterious working brain - all using the mysteries of information science to solve the seemingly unsolvable.Lively, engaging, and topical, this book shows how the computer and the 'bit' are revealing secrets of the brain, the nature of matter, and the working of the universe.; Information ist alles - Alles ist Information! Der erfolgreiche populärwissenschaftliche Autor Tom Siegfried vertritt in diesem aufregenden und unterhaltsamen, dabei fachlich exakten Band seine radikal neue Theorie: Die Materie besteht nicht aus Elementarteilchen, sondern aus Informationseinheiten! Wird man in naher Zukunft Objekte teleportieren können Leiten superschnelle Quantencomputer eine neue Revolution der Informationstechnik ein Ist unser Universum nur eines unter unendlich vielen anderen Dieser und einer Fülle weiterer bewegender Fragen widmet sich der Autor in lebendiger, engagierter Weise.

Tom Siegfried was editor in chief of Science News from 2007 to 2012, and he was the managing editor from 2014 to 2017. In addition to Science News, his work has appeared in Science, Nature, Astronomy, New Scientist and Smithsonian. Previously he was the science editor of The Dallas Morning News. He is the author of three books: The Bit and the Pendulum; Strange Matters; and A Beautiful Math. Tom earned an undergraduate degree from Texas Christian University and has a master of arts with a major in journalism and a minor in physics from the University of Texas at Austin. His awards include the American Geophysical Union's Robert C. Cowen Award for Sustained Achievement in Science Journalism,and the AAAS Westinghouse Award. An award-winning journalist surveys the horizon of a new revolution in science. Everything in the universe, from the molecules in our bodies to the heart of a black hole, is made up of bits of information. This is the radical idea at the center of the new physics of information, and it is leading to exciting breakthroughs in a vast range of science, including the invention of a new kind of quantum computer, millions of times faster than any computer today. Acclaimed science writer Tom Siegfried offers a lively introduction to the leading scientists and ideas responsible for this exciting new scientific paradigm. Derived from a Kirkus review: The computer has, in the information age, developed into a powerful metaphor for understanding the universe. In a straightforward, often whimsical exposition of new revelations in computer science, theoretical physics, molecular biology, and the developing science of consciousness, Many computer functions, Siegfried asserts, including the binary coding with which computers calculate and the manner in which computers produce outputs from inputs according to pre-programmed mathematical rules, find analogues in nature. Siegfried hurtles from cell analysis to Boolean logic to quantum mechanics to the theory of black holes to make his point. He contends, the computer has become such a powerful symbol for the universe that scientists are in danger of mistaking the metaphor for nature itself: The computer has become as all-encompassing a model as Newton's clock, Siegfried concludes, but it may be no better able to explain everything in nature.
