Robinson’s Podcast #207 – Sean Carroll: Quanta, Fields, and the Philosophy of Quantum Physics
Sean Carroll is Homewood Professor of Natural Philosophy at Johns Hopkins University and fractal faculty at the Santa Fe Institute. He is also the host of Sean Carroll’s Mindscape, a podcast about science, society, philosophy, culture, arts, and ideas. This is Sean’s fourth appearance on the show. He appeared with David Albert of Columbia University on episode 106, which covers the Many-Worlds theory of quantum mechanics, Boltzmann Brains, and the fine-tuned universe. He was also on episode 118 with Slavoj Žižek on quantum physics, the multiverse, time travel, and a whole lot more, and then episode 200 with Daniel Dennett and Steven Pinker on AI, parapsychology, and consciousness. This episode is coming out in advance of Sean’s next book, Quanta and Fields: The Biggest Ideas in the Universe (Penguin, 2024), which will be released on May 14, 2024. Sean and Robinson discuss many of the topics and themes of Quanta and Fields, including the books’ namesake subjects, as well as more decides, like scientific realism, free will, the simulation hypothesis, and the end of physics. If you’re interested in the foundations of physics—which you absolutely should be—then please check out the JBI, which is devoted to providing a home for research and education in this important area. Any donations are immensely helpful at this early stage in the institute’s life.

Could it be related to energy conservation of the one-wave function? It has to actualize timelessly to not break that simetry?
What the hell is wave function of the universe?
Pretty much as simple as it can get.
People will still deny it and claim their myths are true.
The only causation is that some phenomena will create two particles of opposite spin.
Still Einstein was right in that a general theory like this should be able to incorporate that correlation into it's measurements, so it's incomplete.
God, he looks like a villain in that thumbnail.
The noise at 1:40 😩
Yet the fact that the measurement acts on the particle being measured A , and B is still not really explained. The Wave Function is a calculation tool, with no deeper explanation.
That could be all there is, but we don’t know for sure.
AI and quantum computing are Marxist-tech wish fulfillment.
This is "Classical". A classical case of never expecting a straight answer from a physicist.
Everett is incoherent. Carroll refers to branches which means he has just traded a Measurement Problem for a Branching Problem. It sounds contrived and hard to understand because it is actually incoherent. There is no way to evade the spooky action at a distance. Saying you can't send messages obscures the fact that there IS a non-local INFLUENCE between the partners.
It is possible that particles are connected within a "lower" dimension.
Sean can't differentiate between correlation and casuation. At least he is honest about it unlike other physicists who claim it is just correlation.
Did Sean dirty with the audio
Exploring the weird world of quantum mechanics, especially with Sean Carroll, never gets old.
