Exploring theories that modify quantum mechanics. Are they fundamentally undetectable, or do they open new avenues for experimental physics and the nature of gravity? #QuantumPhysics #TheoreticalPhysics #Gravity #ScienceExplained #PhysicsExperiments Full podcast with Prof. David Wallace and Prof. Emily Adlam: youtu.be/51jFsUIj6Jo

$Quantum Mechanics Explained FROM SCRATCH I personally subscribe to The Economist. TOE listeners get 35% off the annual subscription. No other podcast has this! https://economist.com/TOE This is a careful lecture that can be followed with zero background knowledge. Einstein thought hed caught quantum mechanics in an act of spookiness — this podcast asks whether he was even worried about the right thing. Tim Maudlin, professor of philosophy at NYU and a leading philosopher of physics, delivers a rare full lecture tracing Einstein, EPR, and the road to Bells theorem. The central claim: Einsteins real objection was never determinism — God does not play dice is a red herring — but non-locality, which he inferred rather than assumed. Maudlin traces the argument from Einsteins overlooked 1927 Solvay objection through the EPR papers criterion of reality, showing why Bohrs famous reply never actually answered it.
