Bohr’s ‘Light and Life’ revisited
H. M. Nussenzveig
I revisit Niels Bohr's famous 1932 'Light and Life' lecture, confronting it with current knowledge. Topics covered include: life origin and evolution, quantum mechanics and life, brain and mind, consciousness and free will, and light as a tool for biology, with special emphasis on optical tweezers and their contributions to biophysics. Specialized knowledge of biology is not assumed.
