What is this?

EP147 John Vervaeke Part 5: Awakening from the Meaning Crisis 507

• things like relativity both special and general quantum mechanics and complexity right you have a richer view of this
• his later years who absolutely refuse to accept quantum mechanics exactly right and so getting the golden mean between

EP79 Seth Lloyd on Our Quantum Universe 471

• going to talk a fair amount about what is quantum mechanics what is quantum computing what's the state of
• it's smaller and it's weirder so the quantum mechanics describes how things behave at their most fundamental
• so sometimes you know stay it's like quantum mechanics is kind of the james brown sciences
• you know again for the shorthand of quantum mechanics is
• information and quantum mechanics came from doing a master's in philosophy of science at
• cambridge university studying foundations of quantum mechanics and quantum interpretations
• beings or philosophers of science simply because quantum mechanics is so strange and counterintuitive
• things behaving according to laws of quantum mechanics why shouldn't they also obey the laws of
• why shouldn't they also obey the laws of quantum mechanics so that's one interpretation and then
• is it's got to be funky so as i said quantum mechanics is a james brown of sciences it's very funky
• central funkitude of quantum mechanics so so entanglement is a very funny feature well finally i
• strange and counterintuitive feature of quantum mechanics where things can be correlated with each
• coherence but i'll give it a shot so in quantum mechanics the notion of coherence comes from
• coherence comes from this feature that when quantum mechanics was
• coherent fashion so coherence in quantum mechanics refers to this wave-like nature
• this wave-like nature of quantum mechanics and the notion of superposition that you mentioned before
• principle superposition in quantum mechanics if you have two waves then not only can you add them up
• straightforwardly on a quantum computer it's a it's because quantum mechanics is about waves
• wave-like nature of quantum mechanics showed how you could encode the answer the solution to
• takes this very important feature of quantum mechanics this wave-like feature ordinary bits don't have but quantum
• nature this kind of digital nature to quantum mechanics at bottom so recall you know when i made this
• the macro sphere and general relativity with quantum mechanics so why don't you go on a wrap here for a
• stuff that i'm doing about information and quantum mechanics can really fit in well with this quantum gravity stuff and
• progress quantum mechanics and gravity is a more than 100 year old question

EP105 Christof Koch on Consciousness 370

• nothing in physics tells us nothing in quantum mechanics nothing relativity tells us
• they have a hunch that oh quantum mechanics is important again that's not a theory a theory really has

EP145 John Vervaeke Part 3: Awakening from the Meaning Crisis 366

• different ways that physicists try to interpret quantum mechanics and of course the weird thing about it there

EP5 Lee Smolin – Quantum Foundations and Einstein’s Unfinished Revolution 361

• our calculations tell us in the world of the tiny where quantum mechanics reigns this is an area i've been interested in
• do that lee could you start with a description of quantum mechanics it's suitable for intelligent but not
• audience that's the audience i always try to speak to jim quantum mechanics is the science of the atomic world of
• some of the scientists studying the area as to what degree does quantum mechanics introduce true randomness into our world
• truly random means has no underlying cause and according to quantum mechanics as was formulated in the 1920s it is
• bat and a number of the other founders in quantum mechanics like rowan schrodinger and the way debry argue the
• schrodinger and the way debry argue the quantum mechanics was incomplete and that it was hidden information or as
• and why is there such disagreement about what quantum mechanics means i mean you know naively is a layman one thinks of
• forth is fundamental importance now the way that quantum mechanics was originally formulated in the early part
• determined from the past and the present and in the version of quantum mechanics that they proposed the state of a system
• whether the basic equations of basic predictions of quantum mechanics are correct and complete and if you do then
• then you're interested in what's called the interpretation of quantum mechanics and as you hinted there are lots of
• path to subject if on the other hand you think the quantum mechanics lacks the full picture that it's incomplete then
• institute became the creative center for the birth of quantum mechanics all of the young people who played a key role
• years younger who just began their studies when quantum mechanics was invented and they weren't interested in
• instead so many opportunities to use the new quantum mechanics to break open and understanding of chemistry or nuclear
• world war and were in their early 20s while quantum mechanics was being developed in the middle late 20s and
• cases better than those given by the quantum mechanics that his colleagues had developed so there was from the very
• more complete that filled in the missing information than quantum mechanics would have to be self contradictory or
• pilot-wave theory which gave a realist perspective on quantum mechanics well it wasn't his area he wasn't he was a
• to write a textbook on harlan mechanics because teaching quantum mechanics was one of his duties at princeton and he
• entanglement we understand now is what makes quantum mechanics radically different from the rest of physics
• the paper out to say there must be something wrong with quantum mechanics if this is what it implies and yet as i
• only local influences and came to conclusion that quantum mechanics had to be incomplete you have an incomplete
• and then he could do the calculation in quantum mechanics and show that the values predicted by quantum mechanics
• quantum mechanics and show that the values predicted by quantum mechanics contradicted the inequality so that
• meant that that property was false in quantum mechanics but the dramatic thing which was demonstrated a decade later
• experiment so without any reference to quantum mechanics we have tested this assumption about locality and it's false
• violates the assumption of locality so because quantum mechanics and quantum physics as far as we can tell it's
• that was one of the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics and it has to apply to the pilot wave theory as
• pilot-wave theory and they're in ordinary quantum mechanics but antony valentini said supposing that you start
• part of the universe and treat the rest of the universes of quantum mechanics didn't apply to it but newtonian physics
• so what does that have to do with quantum mechanics well if quantum mechanics can be applied to a part of
• world is one which is the quantum world so could you make quantum mechanics which was the description of the
• as part of the search for completion of quantum mechanics but one of john wheeler students was hugh everett in the
• the proposal was to remove from the formulation of quantum mechanics everything about measurement and
• radical and shocking he said every time there wasn't the usual quantum mechanics be a choice like that there would be
• more a part of the decayed there's a lot that quantum mechanics predicts about probabilities where do they come from
• murray did write a number of papers on the interpretation of quantum mechanics most of them with jim hartle who was a
• consistent histories interpretation of quantum mechanics which i suppose is something like what you just described
• so one way to think about this is unifying quantum mechanics with general relativity and to me that's what i mean
• little bit earlier nonlocality quantum mechanics is describing a world somehow hidden behind our world in which
• throw some light on which of these many views of quantum mechanics are more right than the others or that you're
• which are in different ways are testing the foundations of quantum mechanics there's a proposal by roger penrose and
• assumptions of the second part of quantum mechanics i described that has to do with measurement is that if you
• mechanics now the orthodox interpretation of quantum mechanics tells us that this happens whenever we
• the kind of theories that i make if it's a place of quantum mechanics breaks down it's this regime where we start to

EP134 Forrest Landry on Non-Relative Ethics 336

• thinking particularly of things in quantum mechanics and stuff that yeah i mean we we obviously can't

EP 155 Iain McGilchrist Part 2: The Matter With Things 301

• computer chips today would not operate unless quantum mechanics was computationally correct what it actually
• about 30 percent disagree and some of the interpretations of quantum mechanics are still deterministic the
• a new topic and this is the so-called measurement problem in quantum mechanics you came down i think pretty strongly
• entangled with quantum mechanics and the conscious observation
• completely right um also quantum mechanics is a bit of a misnomer as david bohm suggested it
