Cosmic Evolution
Book • 2001
In 'Cosmic Evolution: The Rise of Complexity in Nature', Eric Chaisson explores the evolution of the universe from the Big Bang to the emergence of complex life forms.
He argues that energy flows are crucial in understanding this evolution, proposing the concept of 'energy rate density' as a measure of complexity.
The book offers a unified view of cosmic history, integrating astrophysics, biology, and human culture.
