Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal Tim Maudlin Λ Bernardo Kastrup: Non-locality, Bell's Theorem
Oct 3, 2023
Tim Maudlin, a physicist and philosopher from New York University, specializes in the foundations of quantum mechanics. Joining him is Bernardo Kastrup, a philosopher known for his insights on consciousness. They delve into the complexities of physical realism, locality, and the implications of Bell's theorem. Their spirited discussion touches on the contrasting views of analytic idealism and integrated information theory, creating an engaging debate about the very nature of reality and its philosophical ramifications.

Episode notes
Henson Razor Anecdote
- Curt Jaimungal gave an unbranded Henson razor to his editor, Sam.
- Sam declared it the best razor he'd ever used, unaware it was a sponsor.
Support Foundational Physics
- Support the John Bell Institute, a foundation for foundational physics research.
- Donate to their GoFundMe, as traditional funding is scarce in this area.
Discrete Spacetime
- Tim Maudlin is developing a discrete spacetime model to address issues like singularities.
- Discreteness may naturally explain non-locality, a key aspect of quantum mechanics.
