Here's a review of a new book by Vlatko Vedral, reviewed by none other than Seth Lloyd:

Looking forward to reading it. What do you folks think?

I think he's definitely on the right track when he talks about information being the building blocks of matter and energy.

And I agree that there is much good about the scientific method.

Where we part is when he avoids the topic of a designer (programmer) because it makes reductionism too difficult. Face it, science, you'll NEVER get to the bottom of our reality! Not that the journey isn't important. Applause

hi jim---couldn't the design and the programming have evolved in a random manner through multiple unknown forces despite their seemimgly "organised" results?
