The Emergence of Quantum Mechanics from Classical Physics
35:48 - 39:15 (03:26)
Theories of how quantum mechanics emerge from classical physics suggest that there is a substructure to the world that is classical and deterministic, which then becomes probabilistic and uncertain. The implications of this for our understanding of free will at a human level remain unclear.

The guest believes that there is a classical, deterministic substructure to the world which somehow emerges as quantum mechanics, including its uncertainty and entanglement, but what does this mean for our ideas of free will and consciousness at a human level?

Summary
Dr. Sean Carroll clarifies the concept of observation in physics, pointing to entanglement as the key element. While he finds a mathematical representation of observation satisfying, he recognizes that there are echoes of that kind of entanglement in our macro scale.
