The Beyond Center has been awarded a philanthropic grant to conduct research on the quantum world through scientific and philosophical insights. This research collaboration with the University of Surrey amongst others will be led at Arizona State University by Regents Professor Paul Davies.

In a new paper published this week in the journal BioEssays, Arizona and Australian researchers, including Paul Davies, challenge this model by proposing that cancer is a type of genetic throwback, that progresses via a series of reversions to ancestral forms of life.
