⚛️ Quantum Physics – Why We Just Can’t Understand It!🤔 “It all works, but understanding falls by the wayside.” Hardly any other sentence describes modern quantum physics better. The mathematical models work with incredible precision—and yet the reality behind them often eludes our intuitive understanding. Even experienced physicists openly admit: You can master the equations without truly “grasping” the quantum world. In the Zoomposium with Gerd Ganteför, we’ll discuss precisely this fascinating boundary between mathematics, physics, and metaphysics. Because quantum physics doesn’t just raise technical questions—it shakes the very foundations of our worldview: • What role does the observer play? • Is information more fundamental than matter? • Is there even such a thing as an objective arrow of time? • And does physics really describe the whole of reality—or just a fragment of it? Things get particularly exciting where modern physics meets fundamental philosophical questions: John Wheeler’s “participatory universe,” quantum information, entanglement, or the question of a possible immaterial level of reality. Perhaps the real mystery of quantum physics isn’t that nature is irrational— but that our everyday conception of reality has become too narrow.
🎥 In this interview, we discuss, among other things: • the limits of physics • quantum information & conservation of information • observer effects • time & reality • entanglement and Nobel laureate Anton Zeilinger • as well as the philosophical implications of modern physics. 📎 Information: https://philosophies.de/index.php/2023/04/16/zoomposium-gerd-gantefoer/ 📺 Interview: https://youtu.be/V4pUEEtFCUo
⚛️ Quantum physics – The double-slit experiment explained simply! 👍 The famous double-slit experiment is one of the most fascinating experiments in modern physics. It demonstrates something that completely contradicts our everyday understanding: particles can behave like waves. For example, if electrons are fired through a double slit – a classic experiment in optics – an interference pattern appears on the detector, which is something we normally only see with waves. This means that as long as we do not observe the path taken by the electron, it behaves as if it were in several places at once. Physicists refer to this as the particle not being localized. In order for this strange behavior to become visible at all, the experiment must take place under very specific conditions: for example, in a high vacuum so that the particles are not disturbed by air molecules. Only when the particles are sufficiently decoupled from their environment does this peculiar quantum physical nature become apparent. In our Zoomposium, we talk to experimental physicist Prof. Dr. Gerd Ganteför about precisely such phenomena and the big questions of modern physics: • What role does the observer play in quantum physics? • What does the double-slit experiment tell us about the nature of reality? • Are there perhaps aspects of reality that go beyond classical materialism? • And are we already reaching the limits of physics here? An exciting insight into the mysterious structure of our reality – explained in an understandable way and with a dash of scientific humor. 📎 Information: https://philosophies.de/index.php/2023/04/16/zoomposium-gerd-gantefoer/ 📺 Interview: https://youtu.be/V4pUEEtFCUo
⚛️ 🤔 Quantum Physics Explained Simply – Participatory Reality! 🌐🔭 Does reality only come into being through observation? What initially sounds like metaphysics is a serious concept within modern quantum physics: the idea of the participatory universe, coined by John Wheeler. This does not mean that human consciousness “creates” the world. Rather, quantum mechanics experimentally shows that systems change their behavior as soon as they are coupled with their environment – i.e., “observed.” An unobserved quantum system behaves differently than a measured one. Reality thus appears not as completely fixed, but as processual—as something that takes concrete shape in the interaction between system and environment. Similar to how humans change their behavior when they feel observed, even elementary particles react sensitively to measurement arrangements. The crucial point is that these statements are not speculative, but experimentally verifiable. In the Zoomposium with Gerd Ganteför, we discuss precisely these questions at the frontiers of physics: What does the participatory principle mean for our worldview? What role does information play in quantum physics? Do we need a new metaphysics of time? And how far-reaching are the consequences of entanglement and quantization of reality? A conversation about the “enigmatic fabric of our reality”—explained in an understandable way and yet philosophically challenging. 📎 Information: https://philosophies.de/index.php/2023/04/16/zoomposium-gerd-gantefoer/ 📺 Interview: https://youtu.be/V4pUEEtFCUo
✨🔬 Quantum phenomena – laws of nature and spooky behavior 👻 How do these mysterious “spooky” effects actually arise in decoupled systems of quantum physics? And why does the coupling sometimes break down? 🤔 In our Zoomposium with Prof. Dr. Gerd Ganteför, we delve into the limits of modern physics and the “mysterious fabric of our reality.” Gerd explains in an entertaining and understandable way how observation, quantum information, and even time reversal invariance challenge our understanding of reality. We discuss, among other things: • The participatory universe according to John Wheeler • Immaterialistic aspects of modern physics • Entanglement and the basic research of Anton Zeilinger • Potential applications of quantum principles – from information preservation to science fiction ideas such as beaming An exciting kaleidoscope of physics, metaphysics, and scientific humor – perfect for anyone who wants to explore the limits of our knowledge. 📎 Information: https://philosophies.de/index.php/2023/04/16/zoomposium-gerd-gantefoer/ 📺 Interview: https://youtu.be/V4pUEEtFCUo

⚛️ Quanta, 💥Big Bang & ✨Intangible – Physics rediscovers the universe 🔭 Can a bit be 0 and 1 at the same time? In quantum physics, yes. And this is precisely where a quiet revolution in our worldview begins. Modern physics is reaching limits where the old mechanical “clockwork universe” of the 19th century no longer applies. Instead of clear gears and causal chains of events, we find quantum information, superpositions – and a surprisingly immaterial part of reality. The Zoomposium with Prof. Dr. Gerd Ganteför deals with precisely these boundary questions: Is physics rediscovering the immaterial – without slipping into the esoteric? Is our image of the Big Bang perhaps too heavily influenced by human machine metaphors such as the steam engine? And what does it say about our times when even the natural sciences recognize that they may only describe part of reality? A conversation about quantum bits, the spirit of the times, the Big Bang, the observer – and why reality is probably much stranger than we could ever have imagined. 📺 Interview: https://youtu.be/V4pUEEtFCUo 📎 Information: https://philosophies.de/index.php/2023/04/16/zoomposium-gerd-gantefoer/
✨🔭 Physics and Reality – A Deep Understanding of the Universe
How foreign is reality really to us?
In our Zoomposium with Gerd Ganteför, we delve deep into the fundamentals of modern physics – and its limitations.
He emphasizes that our physical models are often shaped by the spirit of the times. Whenever they resemble human thinking too closely, we should be skeptical. For reality may be radically alien to our thinking.
What we know is only a small part of it: a tiny space-time sphere within a much larger, unknown whole. We neither know what lies “behind” it, nor do we understand the fine fabric of reality on the smallest scale. This is where the great mystery begins — and the true fascination of physics.
In this interview, we talk about:
• the mysterious fabric of reality and the limits of our knowledge • the role of the observer in quantum physics • materialism, concepts of information, and possible paradigm shifts • quantum information, the arrow of time, and new metaphysics • visions of the future, from quantum computers to science fiction ideas
A conversation about science, wonder, and the question: How much of reality actually remains hidden from us?

🌌🔍 Rethinking physics – How much of reality does physics really show us – and what remains invisible? In the Zoomposium, we talk to Gerd Ganteför about why we need to open up our understanding of reality. For him, one thing is clear: physics must not be misused as a tool to exclude religion, metaphysics, or other forms of thinking. He emphasizes that something “information-like” could exist in the fabric of reality – something that we have not yet been able to measure or comprehend. A new view of the universe is necessary: away from narrow materialism, toward a physics that takes consciousness, information, and the strangeness of reality seriously. Ganteför talks about quantum phenomena, the role of the observer, information conservation, time reversal, singularities, and why modern physics may only describe a small part of the universe. The full interview in the Zoomposium explores all these questions—with science, humor, and philosophical depth. A must-see for anyone who wants to know how we might break the boundaries of physics and reveal the truth behind the visible universe.
