Description

Can we address mysteries of quantum mechanics by supposing that properties of objects long considered to have an independent existence are actually determined solely in relation to other objects or observers? This program is part of the Big Ideas series, supported by the John Templeton Foundation. Participants: Carlo Rovelli Moderator: Brian Greene 00:00 - Introduction 03:06 - Beginning of the Main discussion 03:50 - How does Carlo Rovelli view the Quantum Measurement problem and Many Worlds theory? 12:47 - Relational quantum mechanics 17:27 - Does this approach apply to relativistic quantum mechanics 24:01 - What is needed to fully understand Quantum Mechanics? 28:30 - Summary Part 1 | Can Particles be Quantum Entangled Across Time? - https://youtu.be/twY2q1F-ciI?si=1El70U6ue2WpbOza Part 2 | Does Quantum Mechanics Imply Multiple Universes? - https://youtu.be/JsZ1aB5egEQ WSF Landing Page: https://www.worldsciencefestival.com/programs/is-quantum-reality-in-the-eye-of-the-beholder/ - SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube Channel and "ring the bell" for all the latest videos from WSF - VISIT our Website: http://www.worldsciencefestival.com - LIKE us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/worldsciencefestival - FOLLOW us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/WorldSciFest #worldsciencefestival #quantummechanics #briangreene #carlorovelli #physics

Just having a 30 minute talk is kind of a crime -- these pairings of great minds can easily enrapture audiences for 3 hours straight! Certainly a short talk is better than nothing, but I'm hoping for more long form content in the future!

I could listen to Carlo talk all day. What a brilliant speaker. He talks with a sensitivity to the audience that this stuff is not easy.

Brain Green is one of the greatest educators of the current times. The kind of content on WSF is the best. Period

The best science program hands down.

I have heard all the 3 episodes in this series. As a student of the Buddhist Lotus Sutra school, entanglement seems to be a no brainer. The concept of Oneness of Self and the Environment, clearly states that each sentient being is connected to every other sentient being throughout the universe. One change in the life state of an individual affects the life state of every other sentient being, irrespective of the distance and time involved. The other interesting concept in the Lotus Sutra is Ichinen Sanzen explained by Chinese scholar Tien Tai. Which translates as Three Thousand Realms In A Single Moment Of Life. It essentially means that every sentient life is a microcosm of the entire universe. Any change in a being has an effect on the entire universe. Just my 2 bits

Carlo is a true example of an scientist who is so busy that doesn’t get a haircut and wears sandals for comfort and doesn’t care.😀

I wish that Brian could’ve had Ed Witten participate in this discussion. Peace.

Huge thanks to the John Templeton Foundation for supporting content that dares to ask such fundamental questions.

Can't believe I've never come across his ideas before, they sound original
