David Deutsch just exposed something shocking about modern science. Most quantum theories aren't actually science at all. They're just miracles disguised as explanations. When you ask how quantum entanglement works, most interpretations by popular scientists basically reduce to "magic happens." That's not science, that's giving up on our understanding of reality.
David Deutsch is a quantum physicist at Oxford, a pioneer in quantum computing, and one of the most important theoretical physicists alive. He argues that only the many-worlds theory actually explains what's happening in quantum experiments instead of just accepting it as a mystery never to be explained. This conversation reveals why modern physics has abandoned its core mission.
Key Takeaways:
00:02:15 – David Deutsch introduces the idea that infinity is not just a mathematical abstraction but a physical reality.
00:06:42 – He emphasizes that understanding infinity is central to progress in both science and philosophy.
00:11:03 – Discussion on how infinity challenges human intuition and traditional explanations.
00:18:29 – Deutsch argues that good explanations must account for infinity, not avoid it.
00:23:51 – He contrasts finite vs. infinite models of the universe.
00:30:14 – Infinity as an unavoidable aspect of quantum mechanics and the multiverse.
00:37:40 – Practical implications: infinity changes how we view knowledge, discovery, and human progress.
00:45:22 – He warns against simplistic or “bad” explanations that ignore infinite possibilities.
00:53:09 – Closing: infinity should be embraced as part of reality, not feared or reduced.
