218 Adam Becker - The Unfinished Quest for the Meaning of Quantum Physics
“No theory in the history of science has been more misused and abused by cranks and charlatans—and misunderstood by people struggling in good faith with difficult ideas—than quantum mechanics.” - Sean Carroll

We talk to astrophysicist Adam Becker about his new book What Is Real? The Unfinished Quest for the Meaning of Quantum Physics, a revealing look at the hidden figures who developed out quantum physics that is still being revealed today.
