See all formats and editions

How does chance enter our world? And why is so much not predictable?In an understandable, exciting and amusing narrative, the author takes us into the world of chemistry, quantum physics and biology.

Touching on astronomy and philosophy, we witness a rewarding journey of discovery.

In the process, he develops a completely new view of chance based on the laws of nature.

Here, the omnipresent non-equilibrium plays an extremely decisive role, because it generates the complex structures in our world.

Finally, on this basis, he presents an equally simple and captivating hypothesis on the nature of time. This non-fiction book provides a deep insight into the fascination of research, the agonizing search for fundamental understanding, and the struggle for scientific knowledge.
