YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn this final stretch of the conversation, Neil deGrasse Tyson and Elise Crull discuss whether quantum physics will ever feel intuitive to human beings, given that our minds evolved to understand only classical, everyday physics. They highlight the need for philosophy and physics to reconnect, examining assumptions, language, causality, and the logic behind experiments. Their discussion expands to how physicists are trained, the separation between philosophy and science departments, and Einstein’s own view that physics and philosophy are inseparable.
