摘要:

[This book] tells the story of the dawn of a new science. [In the book, the author] explains how enormous systems can synchronize themselves, from the electrons in a superconductor to the pacemaker cells in our hearts. He shows that although these phenomena might seem unrelated on the surface, at a deeper level there is a connection, forged by the unifying power of mathematics. [He] provides an intimate and highly personal narrative filled with often humorous anecdotes about some of the visionary thinkers of our time. He also describes the startling applications of this new knowledge, such as the harnessing of synchronized electrons to create the world's most sensitive detectors, able to locate oil buried deep underground and to pinpoint diseased tissues associated with epilepsy and heart arrhythmias. [The book] explores such questions as: Why traffic jams can occur even when there's no accident or other apparent cause; Why women roommates sometimes find that their menstrual periods occur in sync; What caused hundreds of Japanese children to fall into seizures while watching an episode of Pokemon; What triggers riots, fads, and mass hysteria; How synchrony in the solar system may have been responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs; How consciousness arises from the interplay of millions of mindless brain cells.-Dust jacket.
