This book takes a holistic perspective on innovation and explores
the fundamentals behind visible matter in the Universe and on
Earth. The diversity of matter is explained via three main factors,
referred to as Big Bang, Life Bang and Technology Bang which
chronologically occurred in the same order. Each Bang builds on the
previous one and enhances and enriches the innovation potential.
Each Bang is analyzed separately and its contribution to innovation
is discussed. The products of each of the three Bangs, namely
celestial objects, organisms and technology tools, are explained
and similarities as well as differences among them are highlighted.
The book argues that we are at the brink of a major revolution for
synthesizing novel biological organisms on Earth, commonly referred
to as synthetic biology. Synthetic biology allows designing
organisms to achieve certain purposes which resembles technology
tools. Hence, the distinction between organisms and technology
tools is gradually becoming blurry. This further amplifies the
potential for innovation by enriching our toolbox and by augmenting
existing desired purposes with new ones. The book assumes a long
term perspective for innovation by taking into account the
fundamental constituents of visible matter and how they gradually
formed over time in the universe. It is also Interesting that
innovations at the celestial, organism and technology levels posses
common aspects and characteristics. Innovations can be described as
combinations of constituent parts and components in a hierarchical
manner subject to the laws of nature.
