Why is there quantum uncertainty?
Nov 14, 2023
Daniel and Jorge explain the fuzzy concept of quantum uncertainty in this podcast, discussing its historical development, Heisenberg's theory, the role of conjugate pairs, and the connection between uncertainty and quantum randomness. They explore the differences between classical and quantum uncertainty, the concept of the wave function, and the link between position and momentum. The podcast also touches on the limitations of measuring the universe and the potential consequences of not knowing the dimensions of a magical table.
