    Gizmodo[^]:

    A small group of physicists today is working on a theory that doesn’t just study individual phenomena; it’s an entirely new way to describe the universe itself.

    Seems a round-about way of getting 42

      A BS theory. Takes a lot of words for them to explain how one isn't the other; but traditional physics allows for the same. Nothing radical nor revolutionary in the theory.

      How could one show that the evolution of life, with all of its elegant adaptations and appearance of design, is compatible with the laws of physics, which seem to contain no design whatsoever?

      Evolution is contrary to design. It is trial and error.

      Drivel goes on:

      Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection explains the appearance of design in the biosphere, but it fails to explain why such a process is possible in the first place.

      Darwin's theory is not about the appearance of design. There is no design.

        Hence why the article says appearance of design.

          A system can be designed and then left to evolution.

            Could it have been designed to be trial and error? That's what some "AI" systems are designed to do.

              Evolution does not work on trial and error; it selects the fittest. Trial and error means recognizing one, and it doesn't.

              I don't need to; Darwin already did.
