Morphogenetic resonance is a general theoretical term coined by Rupert Sheldrake suggesting that behaviours and forms from the past might affect those from the present and future, indicating that learned attributes and genetic or formative causation can be predetermined by the phenomena.
Proclaiming that the morphogenetic fields reside outside of space and time, as well as being formless and working independent from the principles of natural laws, A New Science of Life is a controversial and fresh look at how topics such as forms, behaviour and chemistry are conditioned and created.
Going through in my opinion very detailed explanations, the topics range from the origins of the phenomena to how it interacts with energy, matter, chemistry and pretty much all of the major scientific fields.
This is yet another difficult book to comprehend, yet it remains fascinating for letting us shape a new perspective towards the situations that we currently take for granted, or took for granted, such as the Earth is flat or the universe is finite.
The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy and The Principle of Relativity featuring Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein are two other books I previously attempted to read, but failed to understand them thorough. Unlike those two books featuring a ton of equations, formula's and more, A New Science of Life is way more theoretical based.
Therefore, I feel irresponsible to rate any of these big books merely because they taggle some of the largest topics out there and they are written in such vast details. Like any sane person, I consider myself intelligent, but alas, mathematics remains a major weakness for me.
Because the videogame Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors referenced Rupert Sheldrake and his theory, I was curious about his work and thus I started reading his most well known published work. And I must say that I am satisfied, for A New Science of Life promises exactly a new way of thinking.
