Explain Everything

David Deutsch1 has this great view of the world where he believes that everything important is understandable by a single human. By important he means the underlying base theories that drive most of reality.2

Four Main Theories

  • Quantum physics and its many-universes interpretation
  • The theory of evolution (Darwin/Dawkins): evolution by natural selection
  • The theory of computation (quantum computation)
  • The theory of knowledge (Karl Popper), explanation and understanding
