Exploring Quantum Superposition and the Nature of Space | 5min snip from Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal

Speaker 1
I
Speaker 2
mean, I think that was how I sort of understood it and
Speaker 1
I think it's interesting because at the
Speaker 2
time during the Hanover, there were a lot of people even on the, you know, this,
Speaker 1
what we broadly refer to as the pro-democracy camp.
Speaker 2
There were a lot of people on that side who believed that Hong Kong was in house served as an example and courage. I don't know what, you know, motivates or yeah, possibly propel China into having sort of
Speaker 1
democracy in that sense as well because, you know, in this mini
Speaker 2
constitution that we have, that's called the basic law, it was set out that we were meant to have democracy at some point, right? And so at the time, you know, even though it was right after the 1989 Tiananmen movement in China, which actually prompted a lot of very intense emotions on the part of Hong Kongers, but also in immigration ways because that was just, you know, really
Speaker 1
less than a decade before the Hanover, people were thinking, okay, if that could happen in China,
Speaker 2
what is going to happen in Hong Kong when it's going to happen
Speaker 1
in the rise? So,
Speaker 2
you know, there were these very
Speaker 1
conflicting sort of ideas and
Speaker 2
I think expectations going into that year in terms of what was
Speaker 1
going to happen, I think, in, you know, on the side of our current generation.
