Beschreibung
Eminent Harvard astrophysicist David Layzer presents a unified theory of order in the universe--from permanence, stability, and orderliness of sub-atomic particles to the evolution of the human mind. Cosmogenesis is the first extended account of a controversial theory that connects quantum mechanics with the second law of thermodynamics and presents novel resolutions of longstanding paradoxes in these theories.
