[A number of posts that are not directly responsive to this question have been removed by the mentors]curi said:Does anyone know of a written refutation of the quantum physics David Deutsch presents in his book _The Beginning of Infinity_?
The main argument against physics in _The Beginning of Infinity_ is that it is limited by our current understanding and perceptions of the world. The book argues that there are infinite possible explanations for any given phenomenon and that our current theories may not accurately reflect the true nature of reality.
No, _The Beginning of Infinity_ does not reject all scientific principles. The book argues that there are limitations to our current understanding of science and that we should always be open to new ideas and explanations.
The author, David Deutsch, uses the term "refutation of physics" to mean the rejection of the idea that our current understanding of physics is the final and complete explanation of the universe. He argues that there are always new discoveries and explanations to be made, and that we should not limit ourselves to the current theories.
No, _The Beginning of Infinity_ is not a criticism of the scientific method. The book actually promotes the scientific method as a way to continuously improve our understanding of the world. However, it does criticize the idea that science has all the answers and that our current theories are infallible.
The book proposes that we should always be open to new ideas and explanations, and that we should not consider any theory to be the final and complete truth. It also emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and testing theories against evidence, rather than blindly accepting them as fact.
