A concise, elegant, and thought-provoking exploration of the mystery of consciousness and the functioning of the brain.Despite decades of research, remarkable imagery, and insights from a range of scientific and medical disciplines, the human brain remains largely unexplored. Consciousness has eluded explanation.Nineteen Ways of Looking at Consciousness offers a brilliant overview of the state of modern consciousness research in twenty brief, revealing chapters. Neuroscientist and author Patrick House describes complex concepts in accessible terms, weaving brain science, technology, gaming, analogy, and philosophy into a tapestry that illuminates how the brain works and what enables consciousness. This remarkable book fosters a sense of mystery and wonder about the strangeness of the relationship between our inner selves and our environment.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.Show book
The philosophical exploration of reality has fascinated humanity since Plato's Allegory of the Cave and has reached new dimensions through technological and intellectual breakthroughs. From Descartes' skepticism of sensory perceptions to Daniel Dennett's provocative "illusionism," the nature of our conscious experiences is continually called into question. Yet, while neuroscience defends consciousness as real, the debate remains alive, shaping scientific and societal discourses. With George Berkeley's subjective idealism, which defines reality as a product of perception, and the groundbreaking concepts of Mach and Einstein, our understanding of space, time, and existence has been radically transformed. These philosophical foundations pave the way for one of the most intriguing questions of our time: Are we living in a simulation? What was once the realm of science fiction now occupies the forefront of cutting-edge research inspired by quantum physics, and the theories of computation and information.In their Scientific-Philosophical work – SciPhi – Anders Indset and Florian Neukart explore the hypothesis that our universe might be part of a chain of simulations – a concept with the potential to revolutionize our understanding of existence, theology, and the laws governing the cosmos. Together they examine the roles of computability, entropy, and the boundaries of physical laws within this chain of simulations. Could a collapse occur if resources are exhausted? And what does this mean for the notion of an infinite, external entity? With a clear focus on experimental approaches, Indset and Neukart analyze how we might uncover evidence about the nature of our reality. Although computational boundaries are still to be overcome,the authors, through observations and analysis on the simulation theories, open new perspectives on the profound questions of existence – while acknowledging the limits of current scientific knowledge. A compelling and profound book that encourages readers to think beyond the nature of reality and redefine the mystery of our existence.Show book
The universe, with its vast expanse of stars, planets, and cosmic matter, is a complex and ever-evolving structure. At the heart of this cosmic web lie galaxies, massive systems of stars, gas, dust, and dark matter that are bound together by gravity. Galaxies are not random collections of matter; they are highly organized systems that exhibit specific structures and behaviors. Understanding the formation and evolution of galaxies is central to our comprehension of the universe. The earliest galaxies began forming shortly after the Big Bang, as matter began to coalesce under the influence of gravity. These early galaxies were small and irregular, lacking the well-defined shapes we see in present-day galaxies. Over time, galaxies merged and grew larger, eventually settling into the diverse forms we recognize today, such as spiral, elliptical, and irregular galaxies. The structures of these galaxies are shaped by a variety of factors, with gravity being the dominant force that governs their organization. Light plays a crucial role in understanding galactic structures. The radiation emitted by stars, gas clouds, and other objects within a galaxy allows astronomers to study its composition, temperature, and movement. Observing the light emitted from these objects gives us insight into the processes occurring within a galaxy, including star formation, the dynamics of the galaxy's core, and the behavior of supermassive black holes. However, light alone does not reveal the full picture. There is another component of the universe that has a more subtle but profound effect on galactic structures—dark space.Show book
There's an unspoken assumption when we go to see a doctor: the doctor knows our medical story and is making decisions based on that story. But reality often falls short. Medical records vanish when we switch doctors. Critical details of life-saving treatment plans get lost in muddled electronic charts. The doctors we see change according to specialty, hospital shifts, or an insurer's whims. In this gripping narrative from medicine's front lines, Ilana Yurkiewicz reveals how a system that doesn't talk to itself puts insupportable burdens on physicians, patients, and caregivers. The stories she tells are at once harrowing and commonplace. A patient narrowly averts an unnecessary, invasive heart procedure by producing a worn rhythm strip he has carried in his pocket for a decade. A man diagnosed with leukemia while visiting from abroad has thirty-one physicians, but no one he can call "his" doctor, with tragic consequences. When Yurkiewicz's own father falls ill, a culture that incentivizes health care providers to react with quick fixes leads to weeks of additional suffering. The system is hanging by a thread, and we need better solutions. Yurkiewicz issues a clear-eyed call for change, naming concrete reforms doctors and policymakers can make, and empowering patients and their loved ones to advocate for themselves in the meantime.Show book
