Keiko Yanagusawa, another female biologist, introduces readers to the profundity
of the biological world slowly and plainly by her book “ISIKI NO SHINKA TO DNA
(Evolution of the consciousness and the DNA)” in which she takes a fictional
conversational style of a man and a women.
Now back to the 1950's. Erwin Schrodinger's first edition of “WHAT IS LIFE?”
was published in 1951 in Japan. This is a notable book whose copies have been
continuously printed since then.
Schrodinger(a Novel Prize-winning Physicist), a scholar of quantum mechanics,
uses colloquial expressions to make us better understand the high level contents.
He suggests in his book that the cryptogram of the gene, like the morse code, should
be able to transmit almost unlimited information by combination of a few atoms.
His small book significantly influenced biologists at that time. Among them were
Watson and Crick who discovered the double helix of the DNA, consisting of 4 bases
in 1953, 7 years after publication of the book. It is an important discovery of the century.
So,they won the Novel Prize in 1962.
As you can see, the science world excites our interest to a great extent.
What interests me is a truth like a lie rather than a lie like a truth.
