Emergence research: Just how did matter become mattering?
Blogs —
Authority: 162
I work in a field called emergence, which is trying to solve such gynormous mysteries as how information emerges from energy, how life emerges from chemistry, how selves emerge from atoms, how soulishness emerges from life, how purpose emerges from non-purpose.
