The Frontiers Collection,1612-30183-319-67367-X Includes bibliographical references and indexes.Is an absolute knowledge of the world possible? -- Are there unsolvable world enigmas? -- How could life have originated? -- What is information? -- Is language a general principle of nature? -- Can the beauty of Nature be objectified? -- What is time? -- Can history be condensed into formulae? -- Where is science going?In this thought-provoking book Küppers, an internationally renowned physicist, philosopher and theoretical biologist, addresses a number of science's deepest questions: Can physics advance to the origin of all things and explain the unique phenomena of life, time and history? Are there unsolvable enigmas of the world? How did life originate? Is language a general phenomenon of Nature? What is time? Is it possible to express the history of the world in formulae? Where is science leading us? These and other provocative questions essential for a deeper understanding of the world are treated here in a refreshing and stimulating manner.The Frontiers Collection,1612-3018PhysicsStatistical physicsDynamical systemsPhilosophy of natureLife sciencesHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000Popular Science in Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q29000Complex Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33000Philosophy of Naturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34040Popular Life Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q25000Statistical Physics and Dynamical Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19090Physics.Statistical physics.Dynamical systems.Philosophy of nature.Life sciences.History and Philosophical Foundations of Physics.Popular Science in Physics.Complex Systems.Philosophy of Nature.Popular Life Sciences.Statistical Physics and Dynamical Systems.530Küppers Bernd-Olafauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut392035MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910741187903321The Computability of the World3554228UNINA
