In <i>The Fabric of Reality</i>, 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. 171066 1997 The Fabric of Reality: The Science of Parallel Universes and Its Implications total:106|5:46|4:34|3:20|2:4|1:2| 106 436 215 19 5 0 false false Tue Aug 04 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 18 00:18:14 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 05 17:11:44 -0700 2009
