Samenvatting
How does order emerge from chaos? How did the complex structure of the astronomical universe come into being? Eminent Harvard astrophysicist David Layzer answers these and many more questions in this remarkable tour of modern science - from spiral nebulae to neuromodulators, and from the origins of the universe to the evolution of the human mind - and probes the philosophical implications of contemporary physics, astronomy, and biology.
