Description
The Study of Life and the New Physics by Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadskiĭ In this groundbreaking essay, Vladimir I. Vernadsky challenges the conventional boundaries of science, arguing that a new physics is necessary to fully understand the world around us. First published in 1930, Vernadsky's work builds upon the pioneering work of Louis Pasteur and other scientists, but also seeks to move beyond the limitations of Isaac Newton's theories. He contends that science has become increasingly detached from the study of life and the natural sciences, and that a new approach is needed to truly grasp the complexities of human existence. Vernadsky's vision for a new physics is rooted in the striking anomalies of life and human experience. He makes a bold call for a more holistic understanding of the world, one that takes into account the intricate relationships between living organisms and their environment. This pioneering work has had a lasting impact on the development of modern science, and its themes and ideas remain relevant today. Published by 21st Century Science & Technology, this English translation of Vernadsky's work offers a unique insight into the mind of a visionary scientist.
