Is the human race a universal constructor?

Science is objective. And in my view we cannot take any experimental results seriously except in the light of good explanations of them.

The most important application of quantum computing in the future is likely to be a computer simulation of quantum systems, because that's an application where we know for sure that quantum systems in general cannot be efficiently simulated on a classical computer.

If we can't program it, we can't understand it.

To me quantum computation is a new and deeper and better way to understand the laws of physics, and hence understanding physical reality as a whole.

Our best theories are not only truer than common sense, they make more sense than common sense...

The truly privileged theories are not the ones referring to any particular scale of size or complexity, nor the ones situated at any particular level of the predictive hierarchy - but the ones that contain the deepest explanations.
