Avoiding Quantum Mysticism While Exploring Ideas

Dr. Ivette Fuentes is a quantum physicist at the University of Southampton, where she studies the strange edge between quantum mechanics and relativity. We try to get on the same page about what it means to bend time, warp gravity, and what gives objects mass. We explore the philosophy of physics, the mystical cult of quantum woo, and how real science confronts the unsettling truth that reality might not exist the way we think it does.
