Book Description:

The book Transcience Transactions explores the growing interdisciplinary nature of modern scientific research. As specialized fields become increasingly compartmentalized, some forward-thinking scientists are rediscovering the connection between fields such as plant neurobiology, plant intelligence, consciousness, and even human thermodynamics. These areas, though still emerging, highlight the convergence of diverse scientific disciplines and the potential for breakthroughs that transcend traditional boundaries.

The author presents critical questions that demand transdisciplinary collaboration, including:

• Human Evolution and Epigenetics: How did human evolution occur? Can random events lead to the complex and highly organized systems we observe in humans?

• Statistical Process Control in Evolution: Is natural selection a mere filtering mechanism, and how do statistical concepts apply to evolutionary processes?

• Evolution of Organized Societies: What forces drive the evolution of societies? Can the eradication of poverty lead to civil and human society viability?

The book encourages interaction across scientific and philosophical fields—such as Biology, Physics, Medical Sciences, Engineering, and Informatics—to bridge gaps and open new avenues for scientific progress. It advocates for a future shaped by converging technologies, where openness and collaboration among different disciplines will drive innovation.
