Features: Why is life so complex? At the ice pond on the Princeton campus, 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 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. What is even more valuable is his exceptional wisdom and the courage to explore. As you follow him, wandering between science and science fiction, building a bridge between life science and cosmology, and experiencing humanity's responsibility to protect life, you will savor 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." In the first part, the concept of "all-encompassing infinity" primarily means 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 wish to understand through science. In the second part, diversity becomes a goal. Since we have inherited precious life from the universe, while meeting the various needs and desires of human society through technology and politics, we must also protect all life on Earth and expand life toward the infinite starry sky.
