Episode 23: Many Worlds Quantum Mechanics

Many Worlds Quantum Mechanics is the only current explanation we have of quantum physics. Yet most scientists today still prefer to not have an explanation at all rather than accept it.  Sam Kuypers joins us to discuss his paper "Everettian relative states in the Heisenberg picture" that he co-authored with David Deutsch. He explains why the Heisenberg picture of quantum physics lends itself naturally to a local many worlds view of quantum physics.  Also, we discuss if King Arthur could possibly be both real and fictional at the same time. Whaaaattt!? This audio podcast requires no mathematical knowledge. However, for those interested in reading the actual paper, Sam prepared a math primer available on our youtube channel.
