Emily Adlam

In this thought-provoking discussion, physicist and philosopher Emily Adlam challenges the traditional view of time, presenting her 'all-at-once' approach. She likens the universe to a completed Sudoku puzzle, raising questions about the measurement problem in quantum mechanics and the nature of causality. Adlam delves into the complex interplay between observers and quantum events while exploring innovative concepts that could reshape our understanding of time. Her insights provoke a reevaluation of our foundational assumptions in both science and philosophy.

In this engaging discussion, Harvard Professor Jacob Barandes, known for his innovative thoughts on quantum mechanics, and physicist-philosopher Emily Adlam challenge the Many Worlds Interpretation. They argue it's more philosophical illusion than science, debating its lack of testability and real-world relevance. The conversation dives into the perplexities of self-identity, the nature of probability, and the hard problem of consciousness, revealing how deeply intertwined our understanding of reality is with philosophical insights.
