Randy and Jim discuss paradoxes in general, some quantum effects, what paradoxes mean to physics, and the twin paradox.

Jim goes on a diatribe about infinities and the multiverse.

Episode 5: Counting Unvierses

In this episode, I discuss a paper talking about the relationship between physical entropy and information-theoretic entropy in the context of quantum communication.

Entropy v. Entropy

This week, I talk about the fate of the universe in Bohmian Cosmology.  Specifically, how Torres, Fabris, and Piattella use the de Broglie-Bohm interpretation of quantum mechanics to modify the Wheeler-De Witt equation in the an accelerating universe.
