Description

*Explains how your state of mind is profoundly related to the flow of chemical information during the interactions of your molecules *Reveals how each atom of the universe is intrinsically linked with all other atoms through their memories and the information they carry *Explores the concrete manifestations of this "molecular consciousness," such as intuition and the appearance of life on earth The molecules of living organisms are in constant communication, storing and transmitting information both at the intracellular level as well as across vast distances. The mystery of how this communication occurs-whether through molecular structure, chemical reactions, entangled states or some other method-has baffled biologists, chemists and quantum physicists for more than a century. Revealing the intimate connections between mind and matter, Francoise Tibika explains that conscious communication exists all the way down to the very molecules of which we-and the universe-are made. Using the fundamental laws of thermodynamics to support her argument-especially the first law: "energy is neither created nor destroyed"-as well as modern scientific research in quantum physics and molecular biology, Tibika explores how each imperishable atom of the universe is intrinsically linked with all other atoms through their memories and the information they carry. She shows not only how each atom of your being is part of the greater whole of the universe, but, also, how your thoughts, feelings and state of mind are profoundly related to the activity of each of your molecules. Just as we are undergoing constant transformation by the molecules surrounding us, our own molecules are continuously transforming the network of which we are a part. Exploring the concrete manifestations of this molecular consciousness, such as intuition, Tibika reveals how, through effecting conscious change at the molecular level, our actions have far-reaching significance in a universe that is not blind to our presence.

Reviews

Francoise Tibikas wonderfully clear and concise book takes the reader on a step-by-step guide through the laws and processes that construct our reality. Tibika explains the complexity of our world through the living language of molecules; and shows how our molecules are animated by an astonishing coherence that is the basis of our evolutionary imperative. An important read for anyone who wishes to understand how we are a part of the infinite network of information that is our universe. * Kingsley L.

Molecular Consciousness begins with a very lucid and engaging account of the way that chemists currently think about molecules and the reactions they undergo. Those with a taste for speculation will be well rewarded, for the final section of the book is a much more fanciful journey into what, on one distant day, might just conceivably become science. * Peter Atkins, author of Four Laws that Drive the Universe and On-Being and winner of the Royal Socie *
This is a little gem of a book that does three things very well and very succinctly. First, it provides a clear overview of the development of chemistry from Leucippus and Democritus in the 5th century BCE through Isaac Newton and the alchemists of the Middle Ages, up to the Laws of Thermodynamics modern times and the development of quantum physics and quantum chemistry. The book explains in simple but never simplistic terms the key discoveries and turning points in science that led to our current understanding of atoms, molecules and chemical reactions. Supported with charming illustrations and interesting anecdotes, anyone with even a modicum of interest in science should find it fascinating. * Miriam Knight, New Consciousness Review, March 2013 *
The reality of my own existence is often overwhelming, but this book helped me put that into a context I had never thought of before. * Rahasya Poe, Lotus Guide Magazine, April 2013 *
