生命是什么(诺贝尔物理学奖得主薛定谔代表作全新译本)
[奥地利] 埃尔温·薛定谔
跟随物理学大师薛定谔的跨界思维,你将洞悉生命如何通过“负熵”对抗混沌,并理解遗传信息背后的物理逻辑。这不仅是分子生物学的奠基之作,更能助你打破学科壁垒,从底层科学规律出发,重新构建对生命本质与存在意义的深度认知。
The Classical Physicist's Approach
Schrödinger explores why life requires a macroscopic scale and why atoms must be small to ensure the stability of physical laws through statistical averages.
The Scale of Life
The Square-Root-of-N Rule
The Hereditary Mechanism
An investigation into how biological information is preserved across generations, introducing the revolutionary concept of the genetic code-script.
Chromosomes as Information Fibers
The Miniature Code-Script
Stability Over Eons
Mutations and Quantum Jumps
Schrödinger applies quantum mechanics to explain the sudden, discrete changes in heredity that drive evolution.
Discontinuity in Biology
The Isomerism of Molecules
Natural Selection vs. Variation
The Aperiodic Crystal
The defining theory of the book: the gene is a complex, non-repeating solid that stores information like a book.
Periodic vs. Aperiodic Solids
The Delbrück Model
Entropy and Negentropy
Schrödinger addresses the paradox of life's order: how living systems evade decay and the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
The Law of Disorder
Feeding on Negentropy
Order from Order
The Clockwork Mechanism
Mind, Matter, and Consciousness
Bridging the gap between physics and philosophy, Schrödinger explores the nature of the 'Self' and the unity of consciousness.
The Physical Basis of Mind
The Arithmetical Paradox
Determinism and Free Will
