Le ncwadi inikezela ngovavanyo lwenzululwazi kunye nefilosofi yendawo yethu emhlabeni. Ityhila uhambo oluye lwenziwa luluntu ukusuka kuphando lwentanda-bulumko yamaGrike okuqala ukuya kwindlela inzululwazi eyiphembelele ngayo ngokunzulu indlela esicinga ngayo ngobukho bethu.
'inzululwazi, Inyaniso, kunye nentsingiselo' sisihloko soku incwadi kuba inika uhlolo lwenzululwazi kunye nefilosofi yendawo yethu emhlabeni. Ibhiyozela ulwazi olwahlukeneyo, oludibeneyo, lwenzululwazi olwakhiwe ngabantu, kwaye ichaza indlela enokuncitshiswa ngayo kwisiseko ekwabelwana ngaso. Le ncwadi iphonononga inyaniso yenzululwazi, ize ijongane nokuba inyaniso iyinyaniso kusini na okanye inxulumene nokuba ngubani kunye noko sikuko. Ityhila uhambo oluye lwenziwa luluntu ukusuka kuphando lwentanda-bulumko yamaGrike okuqala ukuya kwindlela inzululwazi eyiphembelele ngayo ngokunzulu indlela esicinga ngayo ngobukho bethu.
Isahluko sokuqala sinomxholo othi, 'Ifilosofi nenzululwazi: Ukuvula indlela eya kwisayensi yanamhlanje', kwaye kuxoxwa ngendlela imibuzo malunga nokusebenza kwenzululwazi. Ehlabathini babekhe baba ngummandla weentanda-bulumko, kwaye oko kwakhokelela kwinzululwazi yanamhlanje, kunye nendlela yenzululwazi, eyaba yindlela yethu eqinisekisiweyo yokumisela iinyaniso ezisebenzisekayo malunga nenyaniso ebonakalayo. Ukusetyenziswa kwendlela yenzululwazi ngoqeqesho oludibeneyo kusetyenziswa iseti efanayo yokwandisa imigaqo nemithetho eqinisekisiweyo, kusenze ukuba siqalise ukucacisa iinkqubo Ehlabathini. Nangona kunjalo, njengoko inzululwazi inyanzelwa yimigaqo elawula ukusebenzelana kwamandla kunye ne-matter, uphando lwefilosofi luye, kwaye luqhubekile, lusenza ukuba sikwazi ukuphonononga izinto ezinokwenzeka ezisikelwe umda kuphela ngokuyila kwengqondo. Ke ngoko, ifilosofi inokuba sisikhokelo malunga nokuba yintoni na, ngelixa isayensi isebenzisa oku ukumisela ukuba yintoni na.
Izahluko ze-2 kunye ne-3 zithetha ngelizwe elibonakalayo njengoko lichazwa ziithiyori zamandulo kunye ne-quantum. Uphuhliso kunye neenkcukacha zale mifuziselo mibini iquka ukuqonda kwethu kwangoku malunga nendalo esisiseko yenyani. I-Classical, kunye ne-quantum yamva, i-physics ichaza ngokuchaneka okumangalisayo ukuziphatha kwezinto ezinkulu nezincinci kwi Ehlabathini, ngokulandelelanayo. Ukanti, ngokuyintloko, azihambelani neengcamango eziphikisanayo. Ifiziksi yeClassical ichaza iinkqubo ezinkulu kakhulu (ezinje iindidi) isebenza phezu kweendawo ezinkulu kunye nexesha, ngelixa ithiyori yequantum ichaza ukuziphatha kwezinto ezincinci kakhulu (ezinjengamasuntswana angaphantsi). Ukudibanisa ezi nkcazo zimbini ezizimeleyo ezichanekileyo zibe yithiyori enye enkulu yento yonke ingcwele yesayensi.
Izahluko 4 kunye ne-5 zijongene nehlabathi lebhayoloji- into esiyiyo kunye nendlela esabakho ngayo. Nangona iithiyori zezahluko ezidlulileyo zisekela indlela amandla kunye nezinto ezidibana ngayo ukuvelisa izinto ezibonakalayo, aziyichazi indlela abantu abayiqonda ngayo yonke indlela yokuziphatha kwe-macroscopic, kwaye eyona nto ingekho kwizinto eziphilayo. Esi sahluko sixoxa ngeendlela zenyama ezenza ukuba into ephilayo iphile, kunye nendlela izinto eziphilayo kunye neentlobo eziguquka ngayo kwizigidi ezininzi zeminyaka.
Emva kokuba sizivavanyile into esiyiyo, sabakho njani, yeyiphi indawo ekhoyo kwaye yakhiwe njani, siyakwazi ukuza isangqa esipheleleyo kwaye siphinde siphendule imibuzo esisiseko yeentanda-bulumko zesahluko sokuqala. Isahluko sesi-6 nesesi-7, ke ngoko, sixhalabile ukuba yintoni na 'ingqondo', kunye nendlela edibana ngayo nehlabathi. Ukukhangela komntu intsingiselo esebenzisa isakhelo senzululwazi njengesiseko kutyhila ukuba nangona eminye imibuzo malunga nobukho bethu inokuphendulwa, ulwazi olongezelelekileyo longeza iingxaki ezintsha ebezingekho ngaphambili. Sigqiba kwelokuba kuninzi esingekakwazi, kwaye kusenokwenzeka ukuba singaze sikwazi. Eneneni, sifumanisa ukuba inyaniso asiyongcamango ipheleleyo.
Ubunzima ekufumaneni inyaniso sifuna ngendawo yethu Ehlabathini adityaniswanga nje kuphela ekuqondeni kwethu iingqiqo ezininzi, ukuqonda okunjalo, inkululeko yokuzikhethela, kunye nokuzimisela, kodwa kwanemida kumandla ethu engqondo ebekwe kuthi ngokwenyani ngokwayo. Nangona kunjalo, ekufumaniseni ukuba imibuzo ethile ayinakuphendulwa, isiseko esomeleleyo sento enokwenzeka ukuba ingqondo yomntu ikuqonde kusenza sigxile kwizinto ezibalulekileyo nezinokufezekiswa.

UGqr Webb yingcali yebhayokhemisti kunye nebhayoloji yemolekyuli ngokomsebenzi, enobuchule ikakhulu kwi-virology kunye nophando lomhlaza, kwizifundiswa kunye nakwishishini lebhayoloji. I-PhD yakhe yafunyanwa kwi-Imperial College yaseLondon, ilandelwa zizikhundla zophando kumaziko afana neYunivesithi yaseLondon yaseLondon kunye neCancer Research UK. Umdla wakhe kwizihloko eziqukunjelwe kule ncwadi waqala njengohambo lophando lobuqu kwiminyaka engama-20 eyadlulayo, ngenjongo yokufumana ukuqonda okubanzi malunga nendlela echaneke ngayo inzululwazi inokuchaza ubunyani bomzimba. Ezi zifundo zafikelela kuvuthondaba kule ncwadi.
Iimbono kunye nezimvo ezivakaliswe kwiiblogi zezo zombhali kuphela kunye nabanye abanegalelo ukuba bakhona.
