Subjective Evolution of Consciousness in Modern Science and Vedāntic Philosophy: Particulate Concept to Quantum Mechanics in Modern Science and Śūnyavāda to Acintya-Bhedābheda-Tattva in Vedānta [PDF]
, 2019 How the universe came to be what it is now is a key philosophical question. The hypothesis that it came from nothing or śūnya (as proposed by Stephen Hawking, among others) proves to be dissembling, since the quantum vacuum can hardly be considered a ...

Schets van de strijd over de generatio spontanea en van de beteekenis van deze strijd voor de ontwikkeling van de microbiologie [PDF]
, 1938 Door de onderzoekingen van Redi, Vallisnieri, Swammerdam en Leeuwenhoek is, ten aanzien van de kleine, lagere en hoogere dieren de strijd voor de mogelijkheid eener spontane generatie vrijwel tot stilstand gebracht....

The Roles of Possibility and Mechanism in Narrative Explanation [PDF]
, 2018 There is a fairly longstanding distinction between what are called the ideographic as opposed to nomothetic sciences. The nomothetic sciences, such as physics, offer up explanations in terms of the laws and regular operations of nature.

Nitrogen heterocycles form peptide nucleic acid precursors in complex prebiotic mixtures
Scientific Reports, 2019 The ability to store information is believed to have been crucial for the origin and evolution of life; however, little is known about the genetic polymers relevant to abiogenesis.

A Field Trip to the Archaean in Search of Darwin’s Warm Little Pond
Life, 2016 Charles Darwin’s original intuition that life began in a “warm little pond” has for the last three decades been eclipsed by a focus on marine hydrothermal vents as a venue for abiogenesis.

Nature, Science, Bayes' Theorem, and the Whole of Reality [PDF]
, 2015 A fundamental problem in science is how to make logical inferences from scientific data. Mere data does not suffice since additional information is necessary to select a domain of models or hypotheses and thus determine the likelihood of each model or ...

Complexity, Information and Biological Organisation [PDF]
Interdisciplinary Description of Complex Systems, 2005 Regarding the widespread confusion about the concept and nature of complexity, information and biological organization, we look for some coordinated conceptual considerations corresponding to quantitative measures suitable to grasp the main ...

If two physical timescales are independent, i.e. they depend on different physics, then (statistically) there is no reason to believe that their values should be equal, even to an order of magnitude. The timescale for abiogenesis $τ_{AB}$, which depends primarily on prebiotic-chemistry, is expected to be independent of the planetary habitability ...
