Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

Now: The Physics of Time
Now: The Physics of Time

Review:Wow--what a great book! Muller's hypothesis about the flow of time is mind-blowing, and makes intuitive sense. Also, his explanation of quantum physics is by far the clearest I've read.

Like many diet plans it assumes a nine to five world and is pitched to people in the frantic atmosp... Read more

How Life and Consciousness are the Keys to Understanding the True Nature of the Universe

Review:I found the relationship of consciousness to the universe intriguing. But I found his criticism of string theory as speculative somewhat inconsistent, given that this theory is also speculative. I do think that consciousness is one of those mysteries that is tied up with other aspects of the universe, but I don't necessarily accept that the rest of the universe exists only as probabilities until perceived by a conscious entity.
