The Life of the Cosmos

Discover a groundbreaking theory of the universe proposed by cosmologist Lee Smolin. In "The Life of the Cosmos," he argues that the underlying structure of our world is found in the logic of evolution, with the laws of nature we observe potentially the result of a process of natural selection. Smolin draws on recent developments in cosmology, quantum theory, relativity, and string theory, offering a new view of how these fields fit together to form a new theory of cosmology, illuminating previously intractable problems. Explore the philosophical roots of controversies in the foundations of physics and be shown how they may be transformed as science moves towards an understanding of the universe as an interrelated, self-constructed entity.
