Over the past few decades, a handful of scientists have been racing to explain a disturbing aspect of our universe: only four percent of it consists of the matter that makes up you, me, our books, and every star and planet. The rest is completely unknown. Richard Panek tells the dramatic story of the quest to find this “dark” matter and an even more bizarre substance called “dark energy”. This is perhaps the greatest mystery in all of science, and solving it will bring fame, funding, and certainly a Nobel Prize.

Among the estimated 100 billion solar systems in the known universe, evolving life is surely abundant. That evolution is a process of "becoming" in each case. Since Newton, we have turned to physics to assess reality. But physics alone cannot tell us where we came from, how we arrived, and why our world has evolved past the point of unicellular organisms to an extremely complex biosphere.

Great read. Boring listen

I love Kauffman. it's a wonderful book on life. I was extremely out off by the robotic narration. I will have to buy and read the book instead.

Social psychologist and Professor at the Stanford Graduate School of Business Brian Lowery argues for the radical idea that the “self” as we know it, does not exist. The self—that “voice in your head”—is a social construct, created in our relationships and social interactions. We are unique because our individual pattern of relationships is unique. We change because our relationships change. Your self isn’t just you, it’s all around you.

required reading for any human
Revisado: 06-18-23
Excellent treatise on self and freedom. If you hold dear to a discreet self you let go of any hope of freedom. Love his examples. what is a self is fully answered. How our selves are created and formed by all our relationships with people. You come away with a firm grasp of acquiring your Self and happily eschewing freedom. people need structure, boundaries, rules to guide us through a mess of relationships that tax our ability to make sense of the world.

Why we think it’s a great listen: You thought he was a stodgy scientist with funny hair, but Isaacson and Hermann reveal an eloquent, intense, and selfless human being who not only shaped science with his theories, but politics and world events in the 20th century as well. Based on the newly released personal letters of Albert Einstein, Walter Isaacson explores how an imaginative, impertinent patent clerk became the mind reader of the creator of the cosmos.

Walter Isaacson is a shill
Revisado: 03-11-23
Isaac son doesn't know anything about science. He has only read a few books about Einstein. He seems to think because he can say that Einstein is a genius that he is very knowledgeable. Read any other book but this book. Isaac son just wants to make a name for himself. He is really a capitalist shield

Author of the New York Times best seller The Beginning of Infinity, David Deutsch, explores the four most fundamental strands of human knowledge: quantum physics, and the theories of knowledge, computation, and evolution - and their unexpected connections. Taken together, these four strands reveal a deeply integrated, rational, and optimistic worldview. It describes a unified fabric of reality that is objective and comprehensible, in which human action and thought are central.

Reality from a computers point of view.

Deutsch is very creative at telling the story of Reality. His explanation of Quantum Theory is excellent. His deep dive into information theory is required and fantastic.
