Omschrijving

The bestselling editor of This Explains Everything brings together 175 of the world's most brilliant minds to tackle Edge.org's 2014 question: What scientific idea, from the nature of consciousness to the Big Bang, has become a relic blocking human progress?

Each year, John Brockman, publisher of Edge.org--"The world's smartest website" (The Guardian)--challenges some of the world's greatest scientists, artists, and philosophers to answer a provocative question crucial to our time. In 2014 he asked 175 brilliant minds to ponder: What scientific idea needs to be put aside in order to make room for new ideas to advance? The answers are as surprising as they are illuminating. In This Idea Must Die:

Steven Pinker dismantles the working theory of human behavior
Richard Dawkins renounces essentialism
Sherry Turkle reevaluates our expectations of artificial intelligence
Geoffrey West challenges the concept of a "Theory of Everything"
Andrei Linde suggests that our universe and its laws may not be as unique as we think
Martin Rees explains why scientific understanding is a limitless goal
Nina Jablonski argues to rid ourselves of the concept of race
Alan Guth rethinks the origins of the universe
Hans Ulrich Obrist warns against glorifying unlimited economic growth
and much more.

Profound, engaging, thoughtful, and groundbreaking, this collection of essays on the future of scientific thought in This Idea Must Die will change your perceptions and understanding of our world today . . . and tomorrow.
