This is an issue I've actually thought about for sometime. I eventually came to the conclusion that random'ness doesn't exist unless you just operationally define it in some arbitrary way. [which is what they did on Mathworld anyway]. Defining it in terms of Quantum things is very strange, and I doubt it qualifies as a definition. Science of Random'ness |

This is likely just pseudo-science and would only be of interest to me and this recommendation only constitutes a reminder to myself to look it over later. More Consciousness Stuff |

A while ago I saw an article by Dawkins on edge.org that basically asked the question, "Why hasnt a science book ever won the Nobel Prize for Literature?". Looking at the...unusual nature of this book, I think he plans to change that. I'll be impressed if he pulls it off. http://www.edge.org/3rd_culture/dawkins04/dawkins04_index.html RE: The Ancestor's Tale |

Renowned biologist and thinker Richard Dawkins presents his most expansive work yet: a comprehensive look at evolution, ranging from the latest developments in the field to his own provocative views. Loosely based on the form of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, Dawkins's Tale takes us modern humans back through four billion years of life on earth. As our pilgrimage progresses, we join with other organisms at the 'rendezvous points' where we find a common ancestor. The band of pilgrims swells into a vast crowd as we join first with other primates, then with other mammals, and so on back to the very first primordial organism. Dawkins's brilliant, inventive approach allows us to view the connections between ourselves and all other life in a bracingly novel way. It also lets him shed bright new light on the most compelling aspects of evolutionary history and theory: sexual selection, speciation, convergent evolution, extinction, genetics, plate tectonics, geographical dispersal, and more. The Ancestor's Tale is at once a far-reaching survey of the latest, best thinking on biology and a fascinating history of all living things. The Ancestor's Tale |

Saw a mention on this blog by the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP). Suffice to say, as it is the only time I've ever heard of _any_ blog mentioned (much less one I've never heard of), I decided to investigate. Apparently alot of evolutionary biologists (famous and non-famous) post here. The Panda's Thumb |
