This is a symptom of the fact that we just don't have a theory.
We don't need more data, we need a good theory.
No, there's something else, something really fundamental, and it is: another reason why we don't have a good brain theory is because we have an intuitive, strongly held but incorrect assumption that has prevented us from seeing the answer.
But it got more manageable once they had a theory.
So what is the recipe for brain theory?
What will brain theory look like?
And as I said, the theory must be biologically accurate, it must be testable and you must be able to build it.
And to do that, I'm going to tell you about a framework which is very popular in statistics and machine learning of the last 50 years called Bayesian decision theory.
And the point about Bayesian decision theory is it gives you the mathematics of the optimal way to combine your prior knowledge with your sensory evidence to generate new beliefs.
And these documents are not written by experts to experts, as the ones from the string theory.
Fetal origins is a scientific discipline that emerged just about two decades ago, and it's based on the theory that our health and well-being throughout our lives is crucially affected by the nine months we spend in the womb.
Now this theory was of more than just intellectual interest to me.
He's famous because he invented a whole branch of mathematics which bears his name, called Galois field theory.
So he sent a letter back to John saying, "It turns out you can generate these patterns using prime number theory."
No matter how much I believed in gender neutrality in theory, in practice, the absence of femininity is not neutrality, it's masculinity.
And we would call this the unifying theory of two plus two.
However, recent theories in physics, including one called string theory, are now telling us there could be countless other universes built on different types of particles, with different properties, obeying different laws.
The leading version of string theory predicts a multiverse made up of 10 to the 500 universes.
I mean, the theory's been proven true beyond all doubt, but interpreting it is baffling, and some physicists think you can only un-baffle it if you imagine that huge numbers of parallel universes are being spawned every moment, and many of these universes would actually be very like the world we're in, would include multiple copies of you.
And some people think that string theory is tough.
It's pretty cool, at least in theory.
And lo and behold, soon enough, I was able to put this theory to the test on two books that I was working on for Knopf.
It's based on an approach called string theory, and that's where the idea of the multiverse will come into the story.
Finally, in part three, I'm going to describe a cosmological theory called inflation, which will pull all the pieces of the story together.
But in Einstein's theory of gravity, his general theory of relativity, gravity can also push things apart.
So hold the mystery of the dark energy in the back of your mind as I now go on to tell you three key things about string theory.
Well it's an approach to realize Einstein's dream of a unified theory of physics, a single overarching framework that would be able to describe all the forces at work in the universe.
And the central idea of string theory is quite straightforward.
But there's a cost to this elegant unification, because years of research have shown that the math of string theory doesn't quite work.
But string theory says that, on fantastically small scales, there are additional dimensions crumpled to a tiny size so small that we have not detected them.
