YouTube Description
as posted by the channelNeil deGrasse Tyson and Elise Crull discuss how the idea of objectivity in science becomes deeply challenged when quantum mechanics enters the scene. Together, they explore how measurement inevitably disturbs quantum systems, how entanglement prevents us from treating objects as separate, and why both physicists and philosophers still debate the meaning of nonlocality, decoherence, and “truth” in a quantum world.
