After billions of years of monotony, the universe is waking up

Title:: After billions of years of monotony, the universe is waking up
Speaker:: David Deutsch
Description:: Theoretical physicist David Deutsch delivers a mind-bending meditation on the "great monotony" -- the idea that nothing novel has appeared in the universe for billions of years -- and shows how humanity's capacity to create explanatory knowledge could be the thing that bucks this trend. "Humans are not playthings of cosmic forces," he says. "We are users of cosmic forces."
