Is Quantum Reality in the Eye of the Beholder? - Exploring Relational Quantum Mechanics

World Science Festival via YouTube

Overview

Explore the intriguing world of quantum mechanics in this thought-provoking 31-minute video from the World Science Festival's Big Ideas series. Delve into the possibility that the properties of quantum objects may be determined solely in relation to other objects or observers, rather than having an independent existence. Join renowned physicist Carlo Rovelli, moderated by Brian Greene, as they discuss the quantum measurement problem, Many Worlds theory, and relational quantum mechanics. Examine how these concepts apply to relativistic quantum mechanics and consider what is needed to fully understand this complex field. Gain insights into cutting-edge theories that challenge our understanding of reality and explore the fascinating intersection of quantum physics and philosophy.
