Is infinite progress possible? ✨

In this episode, Mattimore explores “The Beginning of Infinity,” a concept developed by physicist David Deutsch, which seeks to answer the question: “Is infinite progress possible?”

In other words, is it possible for humanity to continue making more and more progress, accumulating ever greater knowledge and understanding of the universe, and ever greater ability to control our environment, or is progress “bounded” in some way...

Topics Discussed
