I read every book about quantum physics and quantum biology that I can get my hands on, and I like this one the best. First of all, there is no math in it, which is great for those of us who aren't Einstein. Even without the math, though, understanding quantum physics can still be difficult to comprehend - even for someone who was raised on this stuff, like me. This book does a really good job of explaining the unexplainable and baffling nature of our universe. In particular, I like the author's use of metaphors to help describe how things work in the quantum world. Sure, it's reductionist. There's no way it can't be reductionist without getting into the mathematical formulas of how it all works. But if you're not into advanced calculus, imaginary numbers, and memorizing a bunch of formulas that go way beyond your comprehension, this book is the next best thing. I bought the Kindle version, but now I want to buy the paperback, too.
Quantum physics is certainly weird, but it isn't controversial any more. Quantum effects make technologies such as MRI possible. The authors do a good job of explaining the various physical quantum effects. The description of the famous two slit experiment is very clear in this book. Even though you find the results bizarre, you do understand what the results were and what they say about the quantum world.Quantum effects in biology do not seem bizarre. There is no additional weirdness, just quantum weirdness applied to minute biological processes. The authors focus on where and how quantum effects come into play, for example, in bird navigation or photosynthesis. The authors deal with the questions of why you need quantum physics rather than classical physics to explain specific results. They explain how a particular quantum effect achieves (or could achieve) a desired end. They explore how a tiny or animal cell can maintain quantum coherence (i.e. preservation of a quantum state necessary for quantum effects) long enough to allow the process to complete when physics labs cannot maintain quantum coherence for nearly as long despite massive equipment. Finally they explain how minute events can have a profound influence on living beings which are vastly bigger despite a general expectation in the scientific community that something tinier than a hair on a dog's tail could not possibly wag the dog.Aside from being easy and enjoyable to read, the book references published experiments and theoretical papers used in building up the narrative, including some papers which were published only months before the book was published. You get a feeling of observing the state of quantum biology just a few months ago. The authors also do a good job of showing what's speculative and what has been supported by research conducted in labs around the world. You end up feeling there is ample reason to believe that quantum physics plays an important role in biological processes.
Absolutely excellent. The best explanation of quantum mechanics ever and this from an undergrad business major with a master's degree in writing who dabbles in 'weird science' to stretch her brain (and to write convincingly--a factor she's not yet proven). I've recommended this to the very few people I know who also love the challenge of modern physics or those who simply cannot help themselves when it comes to weird science or those who thirst to understand the basis of life. Next time I'm in London, I'm going to look these guys up. A true wow! And also a bit gutsy, especially the ending.
Every now and then (very rarely, in fact) someone has the gumption to write an exposition of a difficult concept in a way that a reasonably (that's me, I'd like to think) intelligent person can grasp it. The last time I can recall that sensation was with James Glieck's Chaos. But these guys have hit a home run, explaining how quantum "stuff" can be here, there, and everywhere, all at once, and not even BE, but kinda be, since it may not be someTHING, but rather just a diaphanous wavy kind of thing that might be anywhere, as identified by some pointy headed mathematician describing some kind of a wave. Schrodinger's cat notwithstanding, the concepts, and especially the importance and application of this kind of quantum gobledygook has heretofore escaped me (and frankly has extinguished any interest in understanding it, since it normally is presented an an enigma). This book got me over the activation energy required, and I couldn't put it down. Beyond that, there's a nice touch here and there of humor, and mundane examples which, though necessarily imperfect, illustrate some really basic ideas. One comes away wishing there was an opportunity to meet these guys in a pub somewhere just to chat over a pint. I'll bet they're really good company.
As a neuroscientist I have found this book invaluable for my research. Previously the whole subject of the possible role of quantum mechanics in brain mechanisms had been clouded in a fog of mystery and controversy. "Life on the Edge" clears away this fog and makes the whole field easy to understand. Recent research described in this book reveals the important role of quantum mechanics in sharpening up the function of certain key mechanisms in the brain—especially the function of voltage-gated ion channels that play a key role in neural computations. The field is now open for the discovery of other brain mechanisms in which quantum mechanics may be operating.Thanks and congratulations to Jim and Johnjoe!
