DESCRIPTION:Come to Trinity's Winstanley Lecture Hall at 6 pm on 14th Nove
 mber to hear from Professor Brian Josephson\, laureate of Nobel Prize in P
 hysics 1973! Known for his pioneering works on superconductivity and quant
 um tunnelling\, Prof Josephson will tell us more about how his thinking de
 veloped after his Nobel Prize winning discoveries\, his main focus moving 
 from mainstream physics to the issue of how processes associated with the 
 mind can be fitted into physics.\n\nThis talk is free and open for all! It
  will start from 18:15 with refreshments available from 18:00. To access t
 he venue\, enter the gate opposite to Great Gate\, turn right\, head upsta
 irs\, and take the second left turn. See you there!\n\n"Complex coordinati
 on (systems working together to produce some specific outcome) plays an es
 sential role in biology\, whereas in regular physics coordination manifest
 s only in simple forms. Through their search for ‘theories of everything
 ’\, physicists have been led to an oversimplified picture of the natural
  world\, one that works very well in the situations used to test physical 
 theories\, but which fails to address clearly issues such as quantum obser
 vation\, thought\, and meaning. A synthesis of the approaches of physicist
 s and biosemioticians (biologists who take due account of meaning) is like
 ly to lead to advances in our understanding of the natural world comparabl
 e to those associated with the advent of quantum theory."
