Un essai du Nature de demain à propos des relations actuelles entre physique et biologie - le titre est explicite : A clash of two cultures



In the past, biologists have been little concerned about whether their findings might achieve the status of a law. (...) Physical scientists, however, come from a different tradition — one in which the search for universal laws has taken high priority. Indeed, the success of physics has led many to conclude that such laws are the sine qua non of a proper science, and provide the meaning of what a 'fundamental explanation' is.



Peut-être que je devrais effectivement changer de métier ;)
