A pioneering and accessible book integrating recent advances in theoretical physics and computer scienceFor David Deutsch, a young physicist of unusual originality, quantum theory contains our most fundamental knowledge of the physical world. Taken literally, it implies that there are many universes "parallel" to the one we see around us. This multiplicity of universes, according to Deutsch, turns out to be the key to achieving a new worldview -- one which synthesizes the theories of evolution, computation, and knowledge with quantum physics. Considered jointly, these four strands of explanation reveal a unified fabric of reality that is both objective and comprehensible -- the subject of this daring, challenging book.The Fabric of Reality explains and connects many topics at the leading edge of current research and thinking, such as quantum computers (which work by effectively collaborating with their counterparts in other universes), the physics of time travel, the comprehensibility of nature and the physical limits of virtual reality, the significance of human life, and the ultimate fate of the universe. Here -- for scientist and layperson alike, for philosopher, science-fiction reader, biologist, and computer expert -- is a startlingly complete and rational synthesis of disciplines, and a new, optimistic message about existence."Full of refreshingly oblique, provocative insights". -- The New York Times Book Review

评分too wordy for me
评分很难啃的书。前边分别介绍四个理论支柱时候比较精彩,但综合到一起的时候觉得这四个理论没有粘合的非常紧密?
评分虽然很爽但是一半不懂,等聪明一点以后再看一遍=-=

本书2002年出版,作为一本“科普”书,它不可避免的最致命的缺点就是理论过时了! 作者主要是想把平行宇宙的理论和其他三个理论,即波普尔的科学理论、达尔文的进化论和图灵的计算机理论联系起来,构架成一个完整而自洽的世界观。问题在于,作者对平行宇宙理论这一前提的论证就...
评分第一章 万有之理 早前看《数学游戏》,有一篇文章借用一种简单的“蚂蚁”游戏得出结论说,对于很简单的行为规则,我们都没有能力预言它的结果,那又如何寻求万有之理呢?当时我认为,解释世界也许不可能,但是人类最终可以描述世界。象伽利略做的那样,只说“是什么”,不说“...
评分作者试图以四大理论——量子物理、认识论、计算理论和进化论来构建对宇宙乃至万物的认识。摘录一些有益的观点: 科学的目的是提供解释,而不是作出预测 凸现性:不能从还原主义的低层级角度推导出来(提供解释)的高层级现象 科学认识:比其他理论更好(解释性上),且可以随着...
评分在作者(量子物理科学家)的笔下,世界存在的景象又有了不可思议的形式。戴维·多伊奇是量子论“多世界”诠释的热心支持者(近乎狂热)。“多世界”首先是由普林斯顿的研究生休·埃弗莱特三世于1957年提出的。 多伊奇认为光子的双缝干涉实验正是多重宇宙存在的证据(而生物科学...
评分这本书就一些有趣的话题,有选择性的介绍了一些当今科学的观点,而且通俗易懂,重要的是,书中无时无刻不在提醒着读者一种做科学研究的方法,请注意作者本身就是量子科学家,所以这些方法有相当的可信性. 此书特别适合刚从高考的桎梏中解脱,将上大学的同学们,绝对会给你耳目...
