⚛️ 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/
