Groundbreaking mathematician Gregory Chaitin gives us the first
book to posit that we can prove how Darwin's theory of evolution
works on a mathematical level.
For years it has been received wisdom among most scientists that,
just as Darwin claimed, all of the Earth's life-forms evolved by
blind chance. But does Darwin's theory function on a purely
mathematical level? Has there been enough time for evolution to
produce the remarkable biological diversity we see around us? It's
a question no one has yet answered--in fact, no one has attempted
to answer it until now. In this illuminating and provocative book,
Gregory Chaitin elucidates the mathematical scheme he's developed
that can explain life itself, and examines the works of
mathematical pioneers John von Neumann and Alan Turing through the
lens of biology. Fascinating and thought-provoking, "Proving
Darwin" makes clear how biology may have found its greatest ally in
mathematics.
