Sean Carroll on Something Deeply Hidden: Quantum Worlds and the Emergence of Spacetime (9/26/19)

Sean Carroll’s latest book “Something Deeply Hidden: Quantum Worlds and the Emergence of Spacetime” may change everything you think you know about space and time. His thinking begins with the fact that most physicists haven’t acknowledged and uncomfortable truth: physics has been in crisis since 1927. Quantum mechanics has always had obvious gaps—which have come to be simply ignored. Science reporters continue to tell us how weird it is, how impossible to understand. Academics discourage students from working on the "dead end" of quantum foundations. Carroll says that the crisis can now come to an end. We just have to accept that there is more than one of us in the universe. Join us for a reconsideration of time and space with Sean Carroll in this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.
