The most exciting and possibly the most important science book of 1997. Smolin is an American cosmologist, who argues that the universe is literally alive, and that it has evolved from mutations affecting successive generations of universes. This is not a crank theory, but a fully worked out scientific hypothesis, which weaves together Einstein's theory of relativity and natural selection, presenting the synthesis in an absorbing style. (Kirkus UK)
In The Life of the Cosmos, Lee Smolin offers a theory of the universe that is radically different from anything proposed before. He argues that 'The underlying structure of our world is to be found in the logic of evolution'. He departs from contemporary physicists to explore the idea that the laws of nature we observe may be the partial result a process of natural selection that occurred before the Big Bang.
