THE FABRIC OF REALITY: THE SCIENCE OF PARALLEL UNIVERSES--AND ITS IMPLICATIONS

Book ID/图书代码： 15B77796

English Summary/英文概要： An extraordinary and challenging synthesis of ideas uniting Quantum Theory, and the theories of Computation, Knowledge and Evolution, Deutsch’s extraordinary book explores the deep connections between these strands which reveal the fabric of realityin which human actions and ideas play essential roles.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 宇宙、生命、時間……這些基本而又復雜的問題，如果用目前深刻的理論—量子物理學、計算機科學、進化論和認識論—去解釋，那將會編織成一幅什麼樣的圖景呢？作者大衛. 多伊奇在這提出了一種思維模式，順著這一思維模式，我們的新世界觀將日趨明朗。

科學的目的是從問題出發尋求解釋還是從觀察出發尋求預言？令人匪夷所思的「影子」是否揭示了多重宇宙的存在？虛擬現實描繪的東西是不是真的？真實性的判斷標准是什麼？是不是只有我們的感覺、聽覺或實驗裝置探測到的東西才是真實的？數學的本質是抽象的還是物理的？人類的知識是怎樣發生發展的？時間是均勻流逝的還是量子的？人的活動是否能反作用於宇宙演化的進程？

Awards/获奖情况："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.

About the Author/作者介绍： DAVID DEUTSCH’s research in quantum physics has been influential and highly acclaimed. He is a member of the Quantum Computation and Cryptography Research Group at the Clarendon Laboratory, Oxford University, and now lives and works in Oxford.
