I recently changed some of my ideas about science based on reading an important book called "The Beginning of Infinity," by David Deutsch. (Well worth the read, by the way.) I had what I now think are some misconceptions. I attempt to describe them in this episode.  I also connect my new concepts to the idea I shared in a recent episode: that of love being the answer. I share my new definition of love: it is the will or desire for a thing to exist. You can read about Saving Mr. Banks here:  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2140373/ (I misspoke on two accounts: the move is not called Saving Mrs. Banks, and the author's name is P.L. Travers rather than R.L.) Check out The Beginning of Inifinity (and participate in discussion!) here:  https://beginningofinfinity.com/
