Understanding the Connection Between Classical and Quantum Mechanics
48:24 - 55:31 (07:06)
The process of understanding how a classical world featuring curved space-time and gravity can come out of the quantum world is still being studied, and it may involve something beyond the formalism of quantum mechanics.

Many-Worlds interpretation alternatives, such as hidden variables, dynamical collapse theories, etc., have more complexities and additional entities to account for the classical world we experience, unlike the simple and observer-free Many-Worlds interpretation.

PodcastModern Wisdom
Physicist Sean Carroll discusses the challenge of connecting quantum mechanics with consciousness, and how classical mechanics has taken time to fully sink in since Isaac Newton's Laws of Motion in the 1600s.

Episode#126 - Sean Carroll - The Problem With Quantum Mechanics
PodcastModern Wisdom
In this episode, the speaker explores how the classical world can emerge from the quantum world at a fundamental level, emphasizing the importance of taking quantum mechanics seriously to derive the classical world from it, rather than starting with a classical theory and quantizing it.
