HUMAN UNIVERSE

Product Information

An interesting read overall and a thought-provoking intro to the concept of the "human universe". Not the definitive text on explaining consciousness but enough to whet one's appetite to learn more. As you would expect, the book is full of interesting factoids. “The Sun is one star amongst 400 billion in the Milky Way Galaxy, itself just one galaxy amongst 350 billion in the observable universe.” Was ich besonders gut an dem Buch finde, ist es wie beide Autoren Quantenphysik erklären. Es wird mit einfachen Beispielen aus dem Alltag die komplexen Zusammenhänge veranschaulicht. The truth is that we are the universe and can create a universe of our likings if it is accompanied by consciousness! Knox, David (2 January 2015). "Airdate: Human Universe with Brian Cox". TV Tonight . Retrieved 2 January 2015.

An einigen Stellen im Bezug auf Neurowissenschaften fand ich die Ansicht persönlich nicht richtig und überholt. Die Autoren haben im Bezug auf das Bewusstsein eine andere Ansicht und beziehen sich auf das Konzept der Qualia. Also das man den Geist nicht mit Neuro- und Kognitionswissenschaften erklären kann. So.... Keep the observer in the room and have him or her direct the particles. Otherwise, you are only experimenting on energy awaiting direction.. Which isn't really quantum mechanics. As the authors said, the measurement is necessary for the particles behavior exist. The task now isn't to see what they do without us (which, we can't, but they just wait to be used), the task is to learn yo make conscious energy obey thought. How the “conscious” and “humans" network in this universe. Einstein’s special theory of relativity (STR) equation to help illustrate how our thoughts (i.e., energy and the unseen) and the physical universe (i.e., mass and the seen) are connected and, at times, interchangeable. Then he goes on to explain the Quantum World and Quantum Reality and how the Heisenberg cut can be applicable in explaining the “conscious and human universe” in scientific and mathematical terms. Brian Edward Cox, OBE (born 3 March 1968) is a British particle physicist, a Royal Society University Research Fellow, PPARC Advanced Fellow and Professor at the University of Manchester. He is a member of the High Energy Physics group at the University of Manchester, and works on the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, near Geneva, Switzerland. He is working on the R&D project of the FP420 experiment in an international collaboration to upgrade the ATLAS and the CMS experiment by installing additional, smaller detectors at a distance of 420 metres from the interaction points of the main experiments. A full 2/3 of the book is dedicated to recapping the history and current state of the art of theoretical and experimental physics. This will be helpful for readers unfamiliar with the subject, however for readers who already have a strong understanding of quantum physics and the struggle to rectify quantum theory with general relativity (and with neuroscience and consciousness) this book won't offer any new information or insights.

In the tradition of Guns, Germs, and Steel and Sapiens, a winner of the Royal Society Prize for Science Books shows h ow four tools have enabled humans to control the destiny of our species. A man in a space suit floats above the International Space Station. Clooney? On honeymooney? With ’er indoors waiting inside … ’fraid not. Don’t worry though – it’s the world’s second sexiest man, Prof Brian Cox. Have they really sent him up there, to the firmament? How much did that cost? No wonder they’re closing down BBC3 … Oh, a diver swims past, making bubbles, it’s not space at all, this is an underwater space station, in a big swimming pool, at a cosmonaut training centre outside Moscow. Britain’s most famous mathematician takes us to the edge of knowledge to show us what we cannot know. Chopra and Kafatos make an argument that the universe is pure consciousness - that mind creates matter. They make the argument that science has come to an empirical end and cannot explain our origin story using the scientific method, but there were so many leaps and bounds and assumptions that I really cringed to get through the book without arguing with it. Regardless, it is fascinating to read different origin and meaning of life stories from scientists ... and I learned a lot about popular science theories by reading this book. However, I don't know that I really followed a lot of the conclusions "if this, then that — if not this, then definitely that" style of argument presented in the book. I am interested by consciousness and I don't doubt that consciousness is a frontier ... that what we know about it is barely surfacing... but I also don't know that they have really hit the nail on the head with this theory. This is another sumptuous book from Professor Cox in conjunction with the BBC tv series of the same name. The book is full or amazing photographs and articles showing the amazing challenges and how we have excelled over them through the ages - from evolutionary imperatives to pushing the boundaries of our planet. Professor Cox is a very human face to what could be a very dry and antiseptic subject. My only possibly criticism is that the this time round they have chosen such a wide subject with so many possible avenues of study that you wonder who really chose the subject matter and what other details did they leave out (as compared to their other subject matters from previous projects - such as Wonders of the Solar System to Wonders of life).

You might think being a devotee of the teachings of the Vedas and the Bhagavad Gita, it would be a no-brainer that I would love this newest offering from Deepak Chopra. However, I was frustrated and disappointed by 'You are the Universe', even though I agree with the underlying principles.From the bestselling author of Jews Don’t Count ‘ A hugely heartfelt, funny, kind, fascinating, human and clever book ’ ALAIN DE BOTTON

Even the 'Big Bang' (last refuge of the theistic scoundrel) is not merely under assault. Cosmology now makes it a blip amongst uncountable infinite blips. The conditions for life or not come into existence in a complex multiverse in which all things are possible. A bit "meh" for me, this one. Not as provocative or brilliantly written as Sapiens or Homo Deus, nor as deep as any of the Brief Introduction... series, this is an episodically interesting overview of who we are and where we are.Sagan said we are made of star stuff and the Vedas and Gita state we are the Universe. There is nothing within us that is not without and we are all one. What is a human being? Objectively, nothing of consequence. Particles of dust in an infinite arena, present for an instant in eternity. Clumps of atoms in a universe with more galaxies than people. And yet a human being is necessary for the question itself to exist, and the presence of a question in the universe – any question – is the most wonderful thing.

The science method applied. “It is scientific only to say what is more likely and what less likely, and not to be proving all the time the possible and impossible.” DVD releases of the series are set to be released on 10November 2014. A book, written by Brian Cox and Andrew Cohen, accompanying the series was released on 9October 2014, with a Kindle e-book version also made available on 31October 2014.Cox and Cohen do not over-claim for science. They claim for it only what it can do - give us the best framework 'to hand' for understanding what the world is really like out there and what makes us what we are or at least appear to be. A brief history of life on Earth. “We are mammals, which first appeared 225 million years ago in the Triassic era.” One of the central themes of this book has been to argue that the human race is worth saving because we are a rare and infinitely beautiful natural phenomenon. One of the other themes is that we are commonly and paradoxically ingenious and stupid in equal measure. I do not personally think that there is anyone out there to save us, and so it follows that we will have to save ourselves; at least, that would seem to me to be a good working assumption. This is why I don’t feel naïve, idealistic or like a particularly radical member of the Student Union in a Che Guevara T-Shirt when I ask the question ‘Is it reasonable to spend less on asteroid defence than on a footballer’s annual salary?’ When I look in the mirror and think about that, my face assumes an interesting shape – you should try it. urn:lcp:humanuniverse0000coxb_t0f6:epub:3cd25471-012c-4c0f-be00-c71f905d8d97 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier humanuniverse0000coxb_t0f6 Identifier-ark ark:/13960/s2629wpq0qh Invoice 1652 Isbn 9780008125080 A brief explanation on how the laws of nature allow for human beings to exist. “The Standard Model of particle physics is a theory that explains the interactions between subatomic particles in the form of the strong, weak and electromagnetic forces.” “General Relativity and the Standard Model are the rules of the game.
