Quantum Mechanics, Cell-Cell Signaling, and Evolution
Autor John S. Tordayen Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 sep 2022
The title arranges lipid biochemistry and biophysics into an integrated explanation, guiding readers from the immersion of lipids in water as the origin of life, to lung surfactant in alveolar homeostasis, and leading to a new understanding of how consciousness interacts with the laws of nature. This volume argues for a novel understanding of evolutionary processes based on fundamental science and positions itself as seeking consilience among research disciplines. Starting from the origins of the cosmos, the author proceeds through nucleosynthesis and Endosymbiosis Theory, to finally describe consciousness in relation to natural law.
- Offers a novel account of evolutionary mechanisms integrating quantum mechanics and cell-cell signaling
- Presents the latest research and theorizing on the integration of quantum physics with biological action
- Grounds theoretical insights in lipid physical chemistry and the evolution of the lung
- Details an integrated, causal account of evolution operating across physical and biological domains
- Argues for a paradigm shift in the way evolution is understood

Notă biografică
John S. Torday is Professor of Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Evolutionary Medicine, at the University of California- Los Angeles, USA. He has published over 200 papers on lung biology, and over the course of the last 20 years, more than 100 peer-reviewed articles regarding the evolution of physiology based on cellular-molecular principles of development and phylogeny, by exploiting cell-cell signalling as the underlying mechanism. In addition, he has authored or co-authored six books on this topic that are unique to the literature on biology, medicine, cell biology, developmental biology and pathophysiology. He has taken a unique approach to the question of how and why evolution has occurred based on extensive knowledge of lipid physical chemistry, having studied its role in lung evolution under the influence of hormonal effects on structure and function developmentally, physiologically and pathologically.
