  • Is There Anything Inside a Black Hole?

    If objects that fall inside a blackhole can never escape, how do we know if the inside exists or not? Quantum physics suggests that perhaps the black hole's interior may not exist at all from an observer outside.

    This complementarity principle, along with other interesting behaviors of black holes, are key sources of conflicts between quantum physics and general relativity. We'll explore some of these concepts in this episode.

  • What is the Ultimate source of Randomness?

    There are lots of uncertainties in our world. However, many of the uncertainties are caused by our ignorance and not considered true randomness. Quantum physics is usually depicted as the ultimate source of uncertainty in our world. However, quantum physics itself does not contain any non-deterministic equations, so where is the source of randomness? It turns out, the answer is entanglement. In this episode we'll describe why.

  • How to Interpret Quantum Physics?

    Quantum physics is often portrayed as this mysterious realm of the subatomic with little relevance to real life. Part of the confusion is due to the multitude of complicated "interpretations" quantum physics carries. In this episode we'll demystified this confusion and show how quantum physics is relevant in the way we view the Universe.

  • The Most Sacred Laws of Physics

    This this first episode of our Quantum Physics Demystified Series, we'll discuss what is often touted as the most sacred laws of all: the preservation of quantum information.

    Here we describe what it means and how it related to our everyday experience. Along the way we'll explain technical concepts such as decoherence, different quantum interpretations and how quantum physics affords us an entirely new way of viewing the world.
