Or equally fairly, how much we dont understand.

One of the reasons I like that series is they seem intent to do some justice to competing theories and the fact that we still don't really have a working model of the universe, or know answers as to why theories work the way they do.

Anyways this article was a really hard read for me. It's like the relatively-readable paragraphs are laughing at me--written like I should be understanding them, but I don't, ie:

>The best error-correcting codes can typically recover all of the encoded information from slightly more than half of your physical qubits, even if the rest are corrupted. This fact is what hinted to Almheiri, Dong and Harlow in 2014 that quantum error correction might be related to the way anti-de Sitter space-time arises from quantum entanglement.
