Today we had two seminars presented by the profs in our institute. One was on complex systems and the other on quantum field theory. Why is it difficult to present talks on string theory in ppt? I wonder...
Questions like
"How does the cell know when to die?"
"How are the signals transmitted through our body?"
"How is the system able to distinguish between the actual signal passed and the noise that may arise due to other signals?"
"How does the brain work?"
intrigue me...
Trying to answer these question we land on the ground of the basic particles that build up to make molecules or higher and complex systems.
How is it possible that in the process of building it adds life to the system?
What is a living thing exactly?
What is knowledge?
Ohhhhh the questions triggered by the talk are infinitely many..........
