Features: Why is life so complex? At the ice pond on the campus of Princeton University, a research building solved the air conditioning problem in the scorching summer. How was it achieved? Can the bulky space shuttle be gradually replaced by "space chickens" growing in space? Is Austria an ideal country? After a nuclear war, will a nuclear winter really come? What new technologies will we face in the 21st century? The author possesses a broad vision and extensive knowledge, and even more valuable is his exceptional wisdom and courage in exploration. As you follow him, soaring between science and science fiction, building a bridge between life science and cosmology, and experiencing humanity's responsibility to protect life, you will taste the joy of transcending the ordinary, like drinking nectar. That joy is delicate and enduring.
The All-Encompassing Infinity consists of two parts: The first part discusses "Why is life so complex," and the second part discusses "Nuclear Winter and the Return of Butterflies." The term "All-Encompassing Infinity" primarily refers to the first part, where it is said that through the activities of life and mind, the universe has infinite possibilities to perceive itself. The diversity of the universe and life is a fact we aim to understand through science. In the second part, diversity becomes a goal because, having inherited precious life from the universe, we must, through the functions of technology and politics, not only meet the various needs and desires of human society but also protect all life on Earth and expand life toward the infinite starry sky.
