Читать книгу Quantum Evolution: Life in the Multiverse - Johnjoe McFadden - Страница 4

‘A highly enjoyable read with clear explanations of molecular biology and quantum physics – and then speculations in search of a borderland between them. It is not a question of whether quantum mechanics is needed to understand biochemical processes, but exactly where, and at what level. For sure we need quantum ideas to understand in detail how enzymes work. Maybe we need them too for those two great puzzles of evolution: the origin of life and the physical roots of conscious experience.’

GRAHAM CAIRNS-SMITH, author of Seven Clues to the Origin of Life

‘If you want a short course in the greatest scientific insights of the last two centuries – evolution in the nineteenth and quantum mechanics in the twentieth – Quantum Evolution is the ideal primer. Its purpose, though, isn’t to rescue the scientifically undereducated, it’s far, far more ambitious … Patient, clear and logical, a masterful job … [and] a hard, wild and amazing trip.’ DAVID BROWN, Washington Post
