A New Kind Of Science [Purchase]
Author Stephen Wolfram. Language English. Publication date 2002. Pages 1197. ISBN 1-57955-008-8 'A New Kind of Science' is a best-selling, controversial book by Stephen Wolfram, published in 2002. It contains an empirical and systematic study of computational systems such as cellular automata. Wolfram calls these systems simple programs and argues that the scientific philosophy and methods appropriate for the study of simple programs are relevant to other fields of science

| Is The Brain a Computer? |
I read this one a long time ago. But it is really a very good book and the key work which led me to consider this aspect. |
The Emperor's New Mind [Purchase]
Author: Sir Roger Penrose. Publisher: Oxford Paperbacks; New Ed edition (4 Mar 1999). Language: English. Pages 640 ISBN-10: 0192861980 and ISBN-13: 978-0192861986. For many decades, the proponents of 'artificial intelligence' have maintained
that computers will soon be able to do everything that a human can do. In his
best selling work of popular science, Sir Roger Penrose takes us on a fascinating
roller-coaster ride through the basic principles of physics, cosmology,
mathematics, and philosophy to show that human thinking can never be emulated by
a machine.

Quantum Physics
There are so many books. Here are a couple you may wish to read if you have not really explored this area. Most of mine are temporarily in storage in the attic. But I have read about 12. A few I have read are very clear compared to many. If I locate them, I'll include them here later.

| Is The Universe a Hologram? |
I believe there is a scientific experiment going on right now (in the USA?) to try and prove if this is true or not. |
The Holographic Universe [Purchase] [Paperback] by Michael Talbot. This is the astonishing idea behind the holographic theory of the universe, pioneered by two eminent thinkers: physicist David Bohm, a former protégé of Albert Einstein, and quantum physicist
Karl Pribram. The holographic theory of the universe encompasses consciousness and reality as we know them.

| Fractal Software |
Notes |
|
| Ultra Fractal - (Generate Fractals). |
Free to use but you can't save a fractal image without water-marks unless you purchase a licence.
Lowest price €15 $19 (US) £13 (GB)
|
| OnOne Software - (blow up images) |
I use this software linked to photoshop to resize images larger with less pixellation. Many years ago it was called Genuine Fractals. It works well. Good for resizing images to 300 dpi for printing. |
