À propos de cet audio

Hosted by astrophysicist Jennifer and science journalist Inara, Advanced Physics in Everyday Language unpacks some of the most complex ideas in modern physics — from general relativity to quantum mechanics, string theory, the timescape model, and beyond — and explains them in ways that are both intellectually rigorous and refreshingly clear. Designed for curious minds with no formal background in physics, each weekly episode takes a single theory or concept and breaks it down using real-world analogies, stories, and simple language — without dumbing it downTheTuringApp Physique Science

  • Quantum Mechanics: The Quantum Future
    Jun 24 2025

    Quantum mechanics isn’t just a theoretical playground—it’s changing everything. From the lasers in your phone to MRI scans that save lives, quantum physics powers our modern world. But the real breakthroughs are still ahead.
    Quantum computing could solve problems no classical computer ever could. Quantum teleportation is already happening in labs. Quantum cryptography could make hacking impossible. And physicists are still trying to merge quantum mechanics with gravity to uncover the deepest mysteries of the universe.
    What’s next for quantum science? Will we ever fully understand it? Or will it keep surprising us in ways we can’t yet imagine? The quantum revolution is just beginning.

  • Quantum Mechanics: The Battle of Legends, Bohr vs Einstein
    Jun 17 2025

    Albert Einstein hated quantum mechanics. He called it "spooky action at a distance" and spent decades trying to prove it was wrong. But Niels Bohr fought back, defending the Copenhagen interpretation, which claimed that quantum reality doesn’t exist until we measure it.
    The Bohr-Einstein debates were some of the most legendary arguments in science, filled with clever thought experiments, deep philosophy, and a battle over the nature of reality itself. Did Bohr really defeat Einstein? Or was Einstein’s skepticism a clue that quantum mechanics is still incomplete?
    This episode unpacks the greatest physics debate of all time and the experiments that settled the score.

  • Quantum Mechanics: Why Precision is Impossible
    Jun 10 2025

    In the classical world, you can measure where something is and how fast it’s moving with perfect accuracy. But in the quantum world? Not a chance.
    In 1927, Werner Heisenberg proposed something shocking: the more precisely you measure a particle’s position, the less you can know about its momentum, and vice versa.
    This wasn’t a limitation of our tools—it was a fundamental property of nature. The Uncertainty Principle shattered the idea of a predictable universe, proving that at the smallest scales, reality is a game of probabilities, not certainties.
    But what does this mean for free will? Does reality truly exist before we observe it? And did Heisenberg’s discovery kill determinism once and for all?
