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

第一章 萬有之理 早前看《數學遊戲》,有一篇文章藉用一種簡單的“螞蟻”遊戲得齣結論說,對於很簡單的行為規則,我們都沒有能力預言它的結果,那又如何尋求萬有之理呢?當時我認為,解釋世界也許不可能,但是人類最終可以描述世界。象伽利略做的那樣,隻說“是什麼”,不說“...
評分剛開始看第一章就覺得於心有戚戚焉,萬有之理是我從小就一直追尋的東西,所以看到這篇文章就想找到瞭朋友決定看完他。 慚愧啊………… 斷斷續續看瞭兩年還沒看完,敢說此書作者邏輯思維相當活躍,推導與前後遞接都十分齣色,且不論作者的觀點與我其實是有衝突的,他是個完全的...
評分 評分沿著《真實世界的脈絡》…… 最後更新:2009-10-26 概覽 從知道《真實世界的脈絡》的這本書的書名開始,我就被它吸引住瞭。真實性——這個我最重要的人生命題之一,又怎麼能錯過?可即便有著如此的期待和好奇,在我真正讀瞭它以後,還是被震撼到瞭。 作者戴維·多伊奇(Dav...
評分這本書就一些有趣的話題,有選擇性的介紹瞭一些當今科學的觀點,而且通俗易懂,重要的是,書中無時無刻不在提醒著讀者一種做科學研究的方法,請注意作者本身就是量子科學傢,所以這些方法有相當的可信性. 此書特彆適閤剛從高考的桎梏中解脫,將上大學的同學們,絕對會給你耳目...

too wordy for me
評分拋開繁瑣的哲學討論,研究具體問題,在純粹的實證主義和相對主義間找到平衡點

評分雖然很爽但是一半不懂,等聰明一點以後再看一遍=-=
評分很難啃的書。前邊分彆介紹四個理論支柱時候比較精彩,但綜閤到一起的時候覺得這四個理論沒有粘閤的非常緊密?
