This interdisciplinary book enables scientists and non-specialists from various fields to delve into fascinating historical and recent scientific advancements in physics, astrophysics, genetic evolution, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence. Paradigm shifts are common in science, but some have significantly changed our perception and understanding of the world.
This volume not only explores the profound implications of these scientific frontiers but also forecasts their impact on daily life. It delves into ongoing research and the technology that fuels advancements in physics and related fields.
Authored by renowned researchers and science communicators, this book appeals to researchers and non-experts seeking a comprehensive overview of emerging developments that challenge ongoing research and will impact education and society in the coming years.
Structured into distinct sections - New Physics World, Evolutionary Genetics to Epigenetics, Neurosciences and Neurophilosophy, Applications of Artificial Intelligence, and The Mystery of the Dark Sector - each chapter provides a deep dive into its respective subject, shedding light on the mysteries and implications of cutting-edge science. The book ends with an Epilogue illustrating the limitations of and challenges for our cognitive abilities.
Marilena Streit-Bianchi received a doctorate in Biological Sciences from the University of Rome and joined CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Geneva (Switzerland), in 1969. She has been a pioneer in the study of high-energy particles produced by accelerators for cancer treatment. She has held managerial positions on safety training and technology transfer, has been a senior honorary staff member at CERN, and is actively engaged in art and science as a book editor and a curator of exhibitions in Europe and Mozambique. She is the vice president of the international association ARSCIENCIA and a member of the Italian Physics Society (SIF). She has been one of the editors of the book "Mare Plasticum-The Plastic Sea -Combatting Plastic Pollution Through Science and Art", published by Springer, and of the book "Advances in Cosmology" Springer Nature 2022 and "New Challenges and Opportunities in Physics Education" for the Springer book series: Challenges in Physics Education. She is also the co-editor of the book "Big Science Innovation and Societal Contribution" which will be published in 2024 by Oxford University Press.
Vittorio Gorini graduated with a degree in Physics from the University of Milan (Italy) in 1963. Throughout his career, he has held various academic positions, including the associate professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Milan, the professor of Mathematical Methods of Physics at the University of Bari, and the professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Insubria in Como (Italy). After retiring, he became a guest professor at the Department of Science and High Technology. He has also been a Humboldt fellow at the Institute of Theoretical Physics at the University of Marburg (Germany) and a research associate at the University of Texas at Austin (USA).
He has published over 50 papers in international journals, covering a wide range of topics in Theoretical Physics, such as relativity, particle physics, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, cosmology, and black holes. One of his notable contributions is the proof of the GKSL theorem, which establishes the general form of the generator of a quantum dynamical semigroup. Currently, his research is focused on developing General Relativistic models to describe the effects of Dark Matter in disk galaxies. He has also played a significant role in organizing academic events, serving as the director and the co-organizer, along with Prof. Moschella of the Lake Como School in General Relativity and Gravitational Physics and co-editor of several proceeding books of the school. He has been the co-editor of the book "Dark Matter and Dark Energy-A challenge for Modern Cosmology" Springer 2011.
