Ep 6: Paul Raymond-Robichaud


Listen Later

Mathematician Paul Raymond-Robichaud (⁨@PaulRaymond-Robichaud on Youtube⁩ and @PaulRRobichaud on @X) joins Brett Hall for a discussion about the foundations of mathematics, physics, education and philosophy. Paul works in quantum foundations. He developed a mathematical theory of local realism that generalizes the notion beyond the frameworks of existing theories. In particular, he formally proved that quantum theory itself is locally realistic. This result settles an important scientific question that once troubled luminaries such as Einstein. Beyond his work in physics, Paul is passionate about Stoic philosophy and is exploring ways to merge it with critical rationalism. He is also investigating how physics, computing, and critical rationalism might be brought together to improve the foundations of mathematics.
