Samenvatting

The author of Zero explains the scientific revolution that is transforming the way we understand our world Previously the domain of philosophers and linguists, information theory has now moved beyond the province of code breakers to become the crucial science of our time. In Decoding the Universe, Charles Seife draws on his gift for making cutting-edge science accessible to explain how this new tool is deciphering everything from the purpose of our DNA to the parallel universes of our Byzantine cosmos. The result is an exhilarating adventure that deftly combines cryptology, physics, biology, and mathematics to cast light on the new understanding of the laws that govern life and the universe.

  • Great book!

    This book is just magnificent. I have a background in electrical engineering and I have studied about the information theory, but this book explains how it had the influence on a lot of things (probably, even on the outcome of the World War II) and how it has strong connection with physics,astronomy etc.. I recommend everybody to read it (especially to those people that like engineering, physics - however, it could be easily read by other people). Greetings!
