✨🔭 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?
