The Equations of Life: How Physics Shapes Evolution by Charles S. Cockell (Engli

Description: The Equations of Life by Charles S. Cockell Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description A groundbreaking argument for why alien life will evolve to be much like life here on Earth We are all familiar with the popular idea of strange alien life wildly different from life on earth inhabiting other planets. Maybe its made of silicon! Maybe it has wheels! Or maybe it doesnt. In The Equations of Life, biologist Charles S. Cockell makes the forceful argument that the laws of physics narrowly constrain how life can evolve, making evolutions outcomes predictable. If we were to find on a distant planet something very much like a lady bug eating something like an aphid, we shouldnt be surprised. The forms of life are guided by a limited set of rules, and as a result, there is a narrow set of solutions to the challenges of existence.A remarkable scientific contribution breathing new life into Darwins theory of evolution, The Equations of Life makes a radical argument about what life can -- and cant -- be. Author Biography Charles S. Cockell is a professor of astrobiology at the University of Edinburgh and the director of the UK Centre for Astrobiology. He lives in Edinburgh, UK.
