The Fabric of Reality: The Science of Parallel Universes (The structure of reality. The science of parallel universes) (Category Physics)

David Deutsch, The Structure of Reality. The science of parallel universes is very interesting and quite complex and philosophical. A few years ago I read it with great interest. In this book, the author built all his reasoning on the basis of four whales: Quantum physics in multiverse interpretation The theory of computation and the Church-Turing-Deutsch thesis epistemology as a discipline that studies knowledge as such, and in the interpretation of Karl Popper (More in the book by K. Popper "The Logic of Scientific Research") Darwin's theory of evolution as interpreted by Dawkins (More in Dawkins' book The Selfish Gene) Each of these whales is a very interesting and rich area of knowledge that is interesting to study on its own. But mixed together, they allow David Deutsch to formulate a very interesting emergent theory that includes Focus on the explanatory power of theories explanation of quantum interference effects based on multidimensional interpretation of quantum mechanics the connection of physics and the theory of calculations in the form of the Church-Turing-Deutsch thesis, where a universal computer device is capable of modeling any finite physical process; while the apparatus of classical physics, which essentially uses the concepts of continuity and continuum, does not allow modeling all physical processes by a Turing machine that operates only with computable objects Using epistemology to discuss the evolutionary development of our species, accompanied by an increase in the total amount of knowledge and their explanatory power

In general, the book has quite a lot of deep ideas, which is perhaps why it is not read as easily as ordinary popular science books. But it is also attractive in that it allows you to think about the structure of the surrounding reality.
