There is a widespread assumption that the universe in general, and life in particular, is 'getting more complex with time'. This book brings together a wide range of experts in science, philosophy and theology and unveils their joint effort in exploring this idea. They confront essential problems behind the theory of complexity and the role of life within it: what is complexity? When does it increase, and why? Is the universe evolving towards states of ever greater complexity and diversity? If so, what is the source of this universal enrichment? This book addresses those difficult questions, and offers a unique cross-disciplinary perspective on some of the most profound issues at the heart of science and philosophy. Readers will gain insights in complexity that reach deep into key areas of physics, biology, complexity science, philosophy and religion.

This book tackles the most difficult and profound open questions about life and its origins from an information-based perspective.

Information and Causality

From Matter to Life

Neste livro, Paul Davies explica a ciência necessária para a construção de uma máquina do tempo. Para visitar o futuro, o autor diz que apenas é necessária uma pequena ajuda da gravidade e uma nave espacial que possa viajar quase à velocidade da luz no vácuo. Porém, para regressar ao passado a melhor aposta é achar um buraco negro conveniente, equipado com um buraco-de-minhoca navegável, embora seja perigoso ficar preso em uma viagem sem regresso, para parte nenhuma. Depois de estabelecer os fundamentos teóricos, Davies expõe um processo em quatro fases para construir uma máquina do tempo e pô-la a funcionar.
