Neil deGrasse Tyson and Sean Carroll Discuss Controversies in Quantum Mechanics

When did the idea of fields originate? Are fields even real or are they just mathematically convenient? We explore electrons, whether they are a field, and whether they exist at all. We also discuss the wave function, Hilbert Space, and what quantum mechanics really is. Do superpositions always exist?
What would happen if Planck’s Constant were macroscopic? Learn about entangling particles and the longest entanglement distances. If the particles are entangled why would the distance matter? Could we make an internet with quantum entanglement? We break down Schrodinger’s cat, its interpretations, and what the thought experiment really means. Do superpositions always exist?
Are there quantum manifestations in the macro-universe? We explore the microwave background, inflation, and how we discovered that atoms are mostly empty. Sean gives his latest takes on dark matter, dark energy, emergence, and free will. Plus, is dark energy really the cosmological constant?

Sean Carroll is so awesome. What a brain. Great speaker, great thinker, great communicator. Everybody needs to check out his podcast Mindscape there is something for everybody.

Chuck should write a book on everything hes learned
-
I remember when Chuck first started this journey years and years ago. He's become so literate just by hanging around experts and just being genuinely interested in the topics. I love to see it.
-
The blunt is lit 😶🌫️
-
"Entropy: can you do anything about that?" "I can increase it." Lol
-
I love how much Chuck has picked up over the years. I’m jumping back in to Star Talk after MANY years away. I listened regularly in like 2012 or so. His jokes have gotten so much smarter and he clearly is so well versed in the topic now. It really elevates the experience. Fractal joke? Come on! Chuck, you rock!

I’ve heard the opposite version of the speeding Heisenberg joke. The cop pulls him over and says, “Do you realize you were going 60 MPH in a 40 MPH zone?” He flustered and replied: “Darn! Now I have no idea where I am.”

Brian Green and Sean Carroll in a month. Our minds just keep blowing up. Thank you!
-
Sean Carroll is the most articulate ambassador of QM/QFT alive today. I'm privileged to have shared some time and Hilbert Space (TM) with this man.
-
my wife tells me that quantum superposition is too weird to be reality. So I asked her "What then, is reality?" She responded, "Look around you"... but I live in Texas, and so that didn't work.
-
Sean Carroll, Brian Greene, Jana Levin, Charles Liu = always a good time.
-
I love the science. My life is enriched by having a layman's understanding of the concepts, evidence, and more importantly the mindset. But does anyone else come here to watch Chuck?
-
Sean Carroll's Mindscape podcast is superb, with him speaking to a different academic each episode on good mindbending things.
-
I'm not happy with the length of this podcast, why is it short?
-
Sean Carroll needs to be cherished and protected at all costs. This man has always inspired me to learn and the way he communicates science is just beautiful.
-
l love the comedic Value Chuck brings to the conversation
-
Now this is a conversation I've been waiting for for a long, long time..... Edit: 19:32 - They're going up there to test non-direct contact through entangled particles... They're closer than we know.

The version of the Free Will anecdote, which I heard many decades ago, featured the beloved Yiddish author, Isaac Bashevis Singer. A journalist who was interviewing Singer asked him if he believed in Free Will. Singer replied, "Of course I believe in Free Will. It's not as if I have any choice in the matter."
-
Sean Carroll is by far my favorite physicist alive. His videos, books and podcasts are what took my interest in physics from a curiosity to a career choice that I’m actively pursuing.
