The Fabric of Reality: The Science of Parallel Universes and Its Implications (Allen Lane Science)
An acclaimed quantum physicist presents a groundbreaking synthesis of four crucial areas of modern scientific theory–parallel universes, epistemology, evolution, and universal computation–showing how they are linked by the idea of multiple universes. 15,000 first printing.”"Our best theories are not only truer than common sense, they make more sense than common sense,” writes physicist David Deutsch. In The Fabric of Reality, Deutsch traces what he considers the four main strands of scientific explanation: quantum theory, evolution, computation, and the theory of knowledge. “The four of them taken together form a coherent explanatory structure that is so far-reaching, and has come to encompass so much of our understanding of the world, that in my view it may already properly be called the first Theory of Everything.” Deutsch covers some difficult material with unusual clarity. Each chapter ends with a summary and definitions of important terms, which makes the work an invaluable sourcebook.
