Fundamental Unsolved Problems of Biology
نویسنده
چکیده
From more than two decades of theoretical consideration of biology, especially evolutionary biology, I have concluded that there are no satisfactory answers to some of the most important and most fundamental questions of biology. I will argue that the fundamental reason for this is the lack of any teleology (purpose) in natural selection, which is the current dominant biological paradigm. Therefore, I propose a new teleological metaphysics for biology.

متن کاملFundamental Unsolved Problems in Physics and Astrophysics
There is given a list and discussion of what are arguably the top 20 unsolved problems in physics and astrophysics today. The list ranges from particle physics to cosmology. Possible resolutions are noted, but without judgement. Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the discussed problems is that they are closely interrelated. This opens the prospect that a solution to one or a few may lead to ...

for granted that they are no longer challenged, despite a lack of experimental data to support them. Researchers who bravely challenge such widely accepted views often encounter resistance from others in the field. In this issue of the Journal of Biology [1], Ian Conlon and Martin Raff describe a series of experiments that questions a basic assumption about the way that mammalian cell size is m...
