I love modern science and have been reading it for the last N-years. It seems to me that this expands the overall picture of the world, which can not but positively affect the flexibility of thinking.

That’s why I remember the cool science books I read once. Today I wanted to talk about the book "Life on the edge" from 2 professors from the University of Surrey: Theorphysics and Molecular Genetics. This pair of researchers decided to co-write the first book on quantum biology... and it was very exciting. This is not surprising in the NewScience series. The book begins with a robin’s journey from the forest of central Sweden to the south, using the Earth’s magnetic field as a kind of gps. They're coming. 10 Chapters in which the authors analyze how magnetoreception works, how genes, enzymes, photosynthesis, smell perception work, the question of the reliability of information during cell replication is considered. At the end of the book, the authors get to the questions of “what is mind”, “how life began” and give an interesting metaphor for quantum biology aka “life on the edge of a storm”. The book seems to end there, but... In the epilogue, the robin symbolically returns home, closing the cycle:) In general, the book is really interesting and can be recommended for broadening your horizons. But from a scientific point of view, the book is full of unconfirmed hypotheses. It should be given that they sound quite logical, but so far they remain hypotheses. Interestingly, the original book was written in 2014 I left the desire to know the fate of a number of the mentioned hypotheses and directions of research and it is pleasant that this is possible, since it has already passed. 58 years. And 58 This is already a solid period of time, for which a lot of new research and ideas have certainly appeared in such a dynamic field. Something like the release of whole new seasons of your favorite series, the viewing of which stopped for you in the most interesting place:)
