Description: RSA talk on how evolution is based on cooperation, rather than competition

"Martin Nowak, one of the world’s experts on evolution and game theory, working here with bestselling science writer Roger Highfield, turns an important aspect of evolutionary theory on its head to explain why cooperation, not competition, has always been the key to the evolution of complexity. He offers a new explanation for the origin of life and a new theory for the origins of language, biology’s second greatest information revolution after the emergence of genes."

Field of reference: Physics

Description: Second-order phase transitions are common phenomena in e.g. condensed matter physics, particle physics, early-universe physics, etc. By its very definition, a "phase" refers to the global state of a system, or a sub-system, but obviously not to individual particles. In second order phase transition, as one gets closer to the phase-transition point sub-systems begin to feel larger and larger portions of the systems and align themselves with the part of the system that they are correlated with in such a manner that the entropy is maximized and the energy is minimized. The "correlation length" becomes infinite at the transition point, i.e. each sub-system "feels" the rest of the system in its entirety.

Description: Evolution, attaining new levels of existence

"The different branches of science combine to demonstrate that the universe in its entirety can be regarded as one gigantic process, a process of becoming, of attaining new levels of existence and organization, which can properly be called a genesis or an evolution."

Description: The development of the human species throughout evolution will bring us to a higher level of existence.

"Albert Einstein (1879-1955) once said "We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive." I certainly agree. I would add that we should all hope that human beings, who, of all of the species that have ever existed on the Planet Earth, have evolved into a relatively high stage of intelligence and of conscience, would be intelligent enough to bring this evolution to a higher level of global morality."
