The Future of Quantum Mechanics and Dark Matter
17:17 - 27:18 (10:00)
The speaker predicts that quantum mechanics and dark matter may eventually become outdated theories. The definition of computation and its understanding has also evolved over time with input from various fields such as AI and artificial life.

The desire for physical metaphors combined with our limited cognitive capabilities can cause misunderstandings in understanding complex theories like quantum mechanics and dark matter, leading to inadequate explanatory metaphors.
26:11 - 27:18 (01:06)
Summary
The desire for physical metaphors combined with our limited cognitive capabilities can cause misunderstandings in understanding complex theories like quantum mechanics and dark matter, leading to inadequate explanatory metaphors. The book suggests that this will likely change in the future, as our understanding and technologies improve.
