影响整个宇宙的解释 Explanations That Reach the Entire Universe
我们可以理解任何可以理解的东西 We can understand anything that can be understood
布雷特: 在《现实的结构》的开头,大卫·多伊奇提出了这样一个观点,即你不需要知道每一个事实,就能从根本上理解所有可以理解的东西。
Brett: At the beginning ofThe Fabric of Reality, David Deutsch presents this idea that you don’t need to know every single fact to fundamentally understand everything that can be understood.
他提出了这样的观点,即有四种来自科学和科学之外的基本理论:量子理论、计算理论、自然选择进化论和认识论——即知识理论。它们共同构成了世界观或镜头,通过它你可以理解任何可以理解的东西。
He presents this vision that there are four fundamental theories from science and outside science: quantum theory, the theory of computation, evolution by natural selection, and epistemology—which is the theory of knowledge. Together they form the worldview, or lens, through which you can understand anything that can be understood.
纳瓦尔: 我在 YouTube 上看到了一段他的精彩视频,他在视频中提出了同样的观点。他说:“你不必记住和知道每一个事实,你不必知道每个粒子在哪里移动。如果你了解一切背后的深层理论,那么你就会在高层次上知道一切是如何运作的”。而这一切都可以被一个人、一个大脑、一个人所理解,任何人都可以应用它。
Naval:I saw a beautiful video with him on YouTube where he was making the same points. He said, “You don’t have to memorize and know every fact. You don’t have to know where every particle moved. If you understand the deep underlying theories behind everything, then you know at a high level how everything works.” And this can all be understood by a single person, a single brain, a single human being. It’s accessible to anybody.
这是一个令人瞠目结舌的强大想法。我们可以有影响整个宇宙的解释。有趣的是,相对论不在四种理论中。
That is a jaw-droppingly powerful idea. We can have explanations that can reach the entire universe. It’s interesting that the theory of relativity is not in the list of four theories.
布雷特: 多伊奇认为量子理论比相对论更深刻,这并不是说我们否定相对论,但他的猜测是量子理论比相对论更基础。将会有一个多元宇宙的时空,而多元宇宙是大卫对量子理论的解释。这就是为什么相对论没有出现在其中的原因。
Brett: Deutsch regards quantum theory as being deeper than the theory of relativity. It’s not to say that we’re dismissing relativity, but his guess is that quantum theory will be more foundational than the theory of relativity. There’ll be a space-time of the multiverse, and the multiverse is David’s explanation of quantum theory. That’s why relativity doesn’t appear among them.
在某个时候,大多数物理学家都希望我们将实现量子理论和相对论的统一。
At some point most physicists expect that we’re going to have a unification of quantum theory and the theory of relativity.
马丽:我们可以理解任何可以理解的东西,任何事物存在都是可能的,现有总结出来的理论可以解释很多现实,但有很多事物和规律,尚未形成理论或通识,但不影响事物客观存在,只是我们未能用现有语言去归纳总结或解释而已,但我们可以理解--任何事物都有其可以被理解的方式&通路。
