Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 3: What is Time? Part II - The Arrow of Time and Time in Relativity
Q: From the perspective of statistical mechanics and molecular motion and entropy, is it the case that it's impossible for things to become unscrambled, or is it just statistically highly improbable?
It's just so extremely unlikely that it just basically in practice never happens.
Episode 15: The Meaning of Quantum Theory
Q: Can you give our audience a crash course on why the Schrödinger equation is related to probabilities?
The Schrödinger equation describes how quantum states evolve, and probabilities arise from its wave function through Born's Rule, which connects the mathematical framework of quantum mechanics to observable outcomes.
