Galileo Unbound: A Path Across Life, the Universe and Everything

'galileo Unbound' Traces The Journey That Brought Us From Galileo's Law Of Free Fall To Today's Geneticists Measuring Evolutionary Drift, Entangled Quantum Particles Moving Among Many Worlds, And Our Lives As Trajectories Traversing A Health Space With Thousands Of Dimensions. Remarkably, Common Themes Persist That Predict The Evolution Of Species As Readily As The Orbits Of Planets Or The Collapse Of Stars Into Black Holes. This Book Tells The History Of Spaces Of Expanding Dimension And Increasing Abstraction And How They Continue Today To Give New Insight Into The Physics Of Complex Systems.-- Back Jacket Cover.
