The Universe in a Single Atom: The Convergence of Science and Spirituality

(Audiobook) - Dalai Lama

Read by Richard Gere | Unabridged | mp3 | 96kbpss | 252 Mb | 6 hrs | ISBN: 0739322656

Gallileo, Copernicus, Newton, Niels Bohr, Einstein. Their insights shook our perception of who we

are and where we stand in the world and in their wake have left an uneasy co-existence: science

vs. religion, faith vs. empirical enquiry. Which is the keeper of truth? Which is the true path to

understanding reality?


After forty years of study with some of the greatest scientific minds as well as a lifetime of

meditative, spiritual and philosophical study, the Dalai Lama presents a brilliant analysis of why

both disciplines must be pursued in order to arrive at a complete picture of the truth. Science

shows us ways of interpreting the physical world, while spirituality helps us cope with reality.

But the extreme of either is impoverishing. The belief that all is reducible to matter and energy

leaves out a huge range of human experience: emotions, yearnings, compassion, culture. At the

same time, holding unexamined spiritual beliefs-beliefs that are contradicted by evidence, logic,

and experience-can lock us into fundamentalist cages.



Through an examination of Darwinism and karma, quantum mechanics and philosophical insight

into the nature of reality, neurobiology and the study of consciousness, the Dalai Lama draws

significant parallels between contemplative and scientific examination of reality. "I believe that

spirituality and science are complementary but different investigative approaches with the same

goal of seeking the truth," His Holiness writes. "In this, there is much each may learn from the

other, and together they may contribute to expanding the horizon of human knowledge and

wisdom."



This breathtakingly personal examination is a tribute to the Dalai Lama's teachers-both of

science and spirituality. The legacy of this book is a vision of the world in which our different

approaches to understanding ourselves, our universe and one another can be brought together in

the service of humanity.

Dirk A. Taubner "Finite Representations of CCS and TCSP Programs by Automata

and Petri Nets "

Springer | 1989-09-05 | ISBN:3540515259 | PDF | 168 pages | 8,1 Mb

This work relates different approaches for the modelling of parallel processes. On the one hand

there are the so-called "process algebras" or "abstract programming languages" with Milner's

Calculus of Communicating Systems (CCS) and the theoretical version of Hoare's Communicating

Sequential Processes (CSP) as main representatives. On the other hand there are machine

models, i.e. the classical finite state automata (transition systems), for which, however, more

discriminating notions of equivalence than equality of languages are used; and secondly, there

are differently powerful types of Petri nets, namely safe and general (place/transition) nets

respectively, and predicate/transition nets. Within a uniform framework the syntax and the

operational semantics of CCS and TCSP are explained. We consider both, Milner's well-known

interleaving semantics, which is based on infinite transition systems, as well as the new

distributed semantics introduced by Degano et al., which is based on infinite safe nets. The main

part of this work contains three syntax-driven constructions of transition systems, safe nets, and

predicate/transition nets respectively. Each of them is accompanied by a proof of consistency.

Due to intrinsic limits, which are also investigated here, neither for transition systems and finite

nets, nor for general nets does a finite consistent representation of all CCS and TCSP programs

exist. However sublanguages which allow finite representations are discerned. On the other hand

the construction of predicate/transition nets is possible for all CCS programs in which every

choice and every recursive body starts sequentially.
