From Existence to Evolution (Student Version)

A revolutionary work that discusses the history of time evolution based on the dissipative structure theory founded by the author. The main part consists of introduction, part one, part two and part two. "Introduction" raises the issue of time in physics. The first part is "Physics of Existence", discussing issues in classical mechanics and quantum mechanics; the middle part is "Physics of Evolution", discussing thermodynamics, self-organization and non-equilibrium fluctuations; the second part mainly discusses "The Bridge from Existence to Evolution", involving issues such as dynamics, microscopic theory of irreversible processes, irreversibility and space-time structure. It explores irreversibility and the role of time in describing the change process of the material world, attempts to integrate biology and physics, unify necessity and contingency, build new bridges between science and humanities, Western culture and Eastern culture, showing a broad vision and a firm belief in the unity of the material world. ——"China Education News" "From Existence to Evolution" is a classic work by Prigogkin, the famous physical chemist and winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. This book is tailor-made for middle school students and is divided into three parts: the first part, the middle part and the second part. The previous article is a reading guide, written by Shen Xiaofeng, a professor at Beijing Normal University. It introduces Prigodin's life, the main content of "From Existence to Evolution" and Prigodin's scientific contributions in a simple and easy-to-understand way, and provides students with practical reading suggestions. The middle chapter selects the essence of the original work "From Existence to Evolution" and is jointly translated by famous scholars Shen Xiaofeng, Zeng Qinghong, Yan Shijian, and Ma Benkun, highlighting the essence of this revolutionary work on the history of time evolution. The next part is learning resources, including extended reading, digital courses, thinking questions, and reading notes. Famous translators, reading guides by famous writers, and high-quality integrated media learning resources will help middle school students better read, understand, and feel the charm of classics.
