Episode notes

Jason hale says if you could talk boer einstein heisenberg, what would be the biggest advance that would inform their thinking on quanta mechanics since their time? i think the answer is pretty obviously, a better understanding of decoherence. I mean, maybe there were some hints in heisenberg and schrurdenger that that they knew something about it, but there clearly was not a systematic understanding. The whole copenhagen philosophy of boer and heisen burg largely shut off investigations into it.

Welcome to the November 2021 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). I take the large number of questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable size — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
