1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from coast to coast AM on iHeartRadio. 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,400 Speaker 2: Doctor Leue, what would you say about artificial intelligence? Is 3 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 2: it dangerous or beneficial or both? 4 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 3: Well, George, I think it's both. I mean, let's think 5 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 3: about this in your life. Do you know intelligent people 6 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,599 Speaker 3: that are both harmful and helpful to you? 7 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,440 Speaker 2: I would probably say in deep thought. 8 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 3: Yes, yeah. And so if we think about it that way, 9 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 3: it's a tool like anything else, right, whether fossil fuels, 10 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 3: for example, they're great, they have done tremendous good to 11 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 3: our society, but we also see that there is some 12 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 3: harm if you use them unwisely, and if you want, 13 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,840 Speaker 3: you can even make bombs out of it, which would 14 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,919 Speaker 3: be terrible. But it really varies on how you use it. 15 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 3: And so right now, a lot of my artificial intelligence 16 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 3: colleagues are saying, be careful when we build some thing 17 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 3: that is AI based that can work faster than our 18 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 3: human minds can, Let's be sure that we set it 19 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 3: on the right path before we let it go without 20 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 3: any restriction. 21 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,559 Speaker 2: Explain Charles Schrodinger's cat. 22 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 3: Okay, Schrodinger's Cat is one of the great stories of 23 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 3: quantum physics and it's history. It probably is the best 24 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 3: known sort of thought experiment about quantum physics and this 25 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 3: concept called quantum entanglement. Imagine if this is what Erwin 26 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 3: Schrodeger said to Albert Einstein back in nineteen thirty something. 27 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 3: Imagine if there were a cat in a box, and 28 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 3: this is an air tight box, and inside that box 29 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 3: there's a capsule of poison, and that poison will be 30 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 3: released only if a certain atomic effect happens, like one 31 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 3: atomic decay or something like that. Now, physicists can predict 32 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 3: when a lot of atomic decays can happen on average, 33 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 3: how long it would take. That's called a half life. 34 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 3: But in any given particle, we cannot know whether or 35 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 3: not this thing is going to decay today or tomorrow 36 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 3: or in a few seconds. So what Schurgeger said was, 37 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 3: if you put this cat in this box and you 38 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 3: don't open the box, you don't know whether or not 39 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 3: that atomic decay occurred, and therefore you don't know whether 40 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 3: that cat has been poisoned or not. Is that cat 41 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 3: dead or alive? You can't tell until you open the box. 42 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 3: Before the box is opened, the cat could be alive 43 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 3: or it could be dead. Mathematically, it could even be 44 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 3: alive and dead at the same time. Sixty percent alive, 45 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 3: forty percent dead. Who knows. And this is the thought 46 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 3: process that Schurteger presented to Einstein and to others to say, 47 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 3: this is how quantum physics is fundamentally different from classical physics. 48 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 2: Why is physics so fascinating. 49 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 3: Terms because it really provides an insight to everything around us. Originally, 50 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 3: right when physics was first being thought about, guys like Aristotle, 51 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 3: right the ancient Greeks are trying to figure out why 52 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 3: things move, why things fall, and they came up with ideas, 53 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 3: but they didn't know how to really explore those ideas. 54 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 3: They sounded good, but they didn't know how to test them. 55 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 3: And then it took a thousand plus years before people 56 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 3: whom we call scientists today in the Arab world, in 57 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 3: the European world, in the Asian world. Galileo Galilei, well 58 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 3: known guy from the fifteen hundreds and sixteen hundred in Italy, 59 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 3: was really the one who wrote down sort of this 60 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 3: is how I am studying the universe, not just thinking 61 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 3: about it, but exploring it by experimentation and by testing 62 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 3: it and figuring out whether something not necessarily is right, 63 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 3: but whether it's wrong and so over time. I think 64 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 3: physics fascination is that it gives us a chance to 65 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,839 Speaker 3: test things, not just guess at things, but really help 66 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 3: us know what's there. And once you test them and 67 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 3: figure out what's not right, you can slowly reveal what's right. 68 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 3: And from there we can build on that and work 69 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 3: further and further till today we can use quantum physics 70 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 3: to make things like computers and cell phones, and use 71 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 3: general relativity to make GPS systems and things like that. 72 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 3: That's really pretty cool. 73 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 2: I always qualify this statement by saying, if you can 74 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 2: take God out of the equation for a moment, how 75 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 2: did this universe get to be so magnificent in the 76 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 2: form that it is. I mean, it's truly remarkable. 77 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 3: It is, and it's so remarkable it exceeds our human 78 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 3: ability to understand it so far. Right, The reason we 79 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 3: keep making so many discoveries in physics today and in 80 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 3: astronomy and talking about the origins of the universe and 81 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 3: so forth, is indeed that it's so much more complicated 82 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 3: than us because we were built inside it. Right, If 83 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 3: you take the basic laws of physics, as we understand 84 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 3: them right now, and just add all the matter and 85 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 3: the energy that we have in the universe and give 86 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 3: it space and give it time. Then it organizes itself 87 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 3: just in ways that we can't even begin to imagine, 88 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 3: the ways that we have been able to imagine already 89 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 3: explain amazing things like the Earth, the Sun, our galaxy, life, 90 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 3: we humans, and then there's still more to discover every 91 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 3: time because of the strategy of looking at things that 92 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 3: we can show are wrong, testing our hypotheses and ideas, 93 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 3: and then we can slowly figure out what's right by 94 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 3: proving that thing is wrong. That's really I think why 95 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 3: it's so cool. It's just the amount of time that 96 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 3: we've had to allow all these things to organize, and 97 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 3: that complexity has led to all these amazing things. 98 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 2: Do you think do you believe there's an intelligence behind it? 99 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 3: There is no evidence. People have looked really hard to 100 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 3: see if an intelligence is necessary to do this, and 101 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 3: it turns out that at the moment, despite looking for it, 102 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 3: there is no concrete need for that intelligence behind it 103 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 3: for all this stuff to happen. We used to think 104 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 3: that it had to, but as we go further, we 105 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 3: see that those unknown things that we thought, oh, surely 106 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 3: must have been the hand of some divine or some superintelligence. 107 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 3: Turns out that it just happens naturally, and it can 108 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 3: happen naturally. This has been a question from a law 109 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 3: a long time ago. It was a very famous quote. 110 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 3: I don't know if this story is apocryphal or real, 111 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 3: but Napoleon once asked his favorite scientist, a guy named Lejandre, said, uh, 112 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 3: do you think there is a god? And he said 113 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 3: Legendre said, as of this moment, I have as yet 114 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 3: no need for that hypothesis. Interesting take, Yeah, I think so. 115 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 3: And there's no thing that says that an super intelligent 116 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 3: creature or a god, or many gods for that matter, 117 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 3: does not exist. Right, We just haven't been able to 118 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 3: show that it's necessary. 119 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 2: How did it start? 120 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 3: How did all the whole universe start? 121 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 2: Yeah? 122 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 3: Well, therein lies a fascinating question too. We can figure 123 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 3: out by going backwards in time from our current universe 124 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 3: and the way that it has developed, that at about 125 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 3: thirteen point eight billion years ago years as measured by 126 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 3: a total number of seconds, right, not by the number 127 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 3: of times Earth has gone around the Sun, because the 128 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 3: Earth hasn't been around that long right, If you count 129 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 3: backwards thirteen point eight billion years ago, our universe should 130 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:22,679 Speaker 3: have been far smaller than any subatomic particle that exists today. 131 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 3: We're talking a billionth of a billionth of a billionth of. 132 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 2: An inch, smaller than microscopic. 133 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 3: That's right, far smaller than any mine. 134 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 2: Amazing. 135 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, And so how it got from that point to 136 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,439 Speaker 3: our present day. We have a pretty good sense based 137 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 3: on the physics that we've been able to understand up 138 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 3: to this point, the astronomical observations, the theoretical work that 139 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 3: we've been working on. That that's pretty good. But below that, 140 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 3: how it got to that point in the first place 141 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 3: is the subject of a lot of controversy, in part 142 00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 3: because we can't design an experiment yet to prove that 143 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 3: our idea is wrong. 144 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 2: We can't duplicate it. 145 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 3: Nuts, right, it's only happened once before. The cool thing 146 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 3: about we can't duplicate it, George, what you mentioned is 147 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 3: that one of the hypotheses about how the universe got 148 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 3: to the way it was involves a kind of expansion 149 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 3: of the universe that happened after it first began to exist. 150 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 3: There's this thing called inflation, all right, Not inflation like 151 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 3: economic inflation, but inflation, like space gets blown upward like 152 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 3: a balloon, it balloons outward and a huge, massively fast 153 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 3: expansion doesn't pop, but it just grows so fast that 154 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:47,719 Speaker 3: all future expansion depends on how that inflation happened. So 155 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,959 Speaker 3: the thing is, if that kind of inflation is true, 156 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 3: then there's nothing that stops it from happening again and 157 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 3: again and again, but just in an environment and in 158 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 3: a way that we can't detect. So if inflation happens, 159 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,559 Speaker 3: there is this hypothesis that there's this thing called eternal 160 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:11,959 Speaker 3: inflation where a nearly infinite are certainly a huge number 161 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 3: of these universal bubbles can pop up and we could 162 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 3: just be existing in one of them, while there are 163 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 3: a multitude of such inflationary bubbles all around us and 164 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 3: we can't interact with them. 165 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,719 Speaker 2: Do we know why a jump started, though. 166 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 3: That's something we don't know yet. The current hypotheses vary widely, 167 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 3: and again the problem is that they can work out 168 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 3: the math. My colleagues who are doing this sort of 169 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 3: theoretical cosmology stuff, but there's no experiment yet that can 170 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 3: show that their math is wrong or right. One really 171 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 3: promising idea, which I think is kind of cool is 172 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 3: to imagine that our space time, our universe here, which 173 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 3: has the dimensions of length with height and time time, 174 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 3: is actually like a four dimensional projection of something that's 175 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 3: a five dimensional shape or structure. Okay, have you ever 176 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 3: played with soap bubbles and like taken two bubbles and 177 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 3: pushed them close together, and then they kind of combine 178 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 3: and they form a little skin between the two of them. 179 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 2: Not many years, yeah, one though, Yeah right? 180 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 3: It actually physics teaching physics in part gives me excuse 181 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 3: to play with bubble bath the way that I used 182 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 3: to when I was a kid. Right, you can imagine 183 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 3: taking three dimensional bubbles and making them come in contact 184 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 3: with each other, and then they create a two dimensional 185 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 3: skin in between them. Right. That skin lasts for a 186 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 3: period of time, depending on how long the bubbles last, 187 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 3: and they form the skin when they come in contact. Now, 188 00:11:55,400 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 3: imagine if two five dimensional structures they're currently called membranes, 189 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 3: if they come in contact, then they would create a 190 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 3: skin between them. But instead of going from three to 191 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 3: two dimensions as in the soap bubble analogy, it would 192 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 3: go from five to four dimensions. And so our four 193 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 3: dimensional space time may be the consequence of the contact 194 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 3: between two five dimensional membranes, and when that happened, that 195 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 3: was when the universe, as we understand that this four 196 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 3: dimensional space time first began to exist. We just don't 197 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:34,839 Speaker 3: have the experiments or the observations yet that can prove 198 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 3: or disprove this mathematically really interesting hypothesis. 199 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 2: What is the possibility that we may be living in 200 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 2: a holographic universe? 201 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 3: Ah, A holographic universe, for all intents and purposes, is 202 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 3: an idea that suggests that we see three dimensions and 203 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 3: observe three dimensions, but all of our information is preserved 204 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 3: in two dimensions. It's kind of like the holograms on 205 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 3: our debit cards, right, even though they're flat, it looks 206 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 3: like there is a three dimensional object in there because 207 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 3: the information for the three dimensional object is preserved in 208 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 3: two dimensions. So could we be in a holographic universe? Possibly? 209 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 3: We have to try to prove or disprove that though, 210 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 3: and that's the problem. We can't design an experiment yet 211 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 3: that allows us to understand whether or not we are 212 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:36,839 Speaker 3: all projected on say two dimensional space that has time, 213 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 3: But we think we're in a three dimensional space because 214 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 3: that's what we see, or the other way around. We 215 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 3: are two dimensional or projected on the three, or four 216 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 3: dimensionals projected on the three. These kinds of projection ideas 217 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 3: could work and mathematically, but we don't have experiments that 218 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 3: can confirm them yet. 219 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 2: This is dramatic stuff. Charles is that it's a lot 220 00:13:59,040 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 2: of fun. 221 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 3: I really like thinking about them and telling this with people. 222 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 3: It's fun stuff. 223 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 2: Tell us about the title of your book, The Handy 224 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 2: Quantum Physics answer Book. 225 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 3: Okay, well, you see, I use quantum physics in my 226 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 3: research all the time. I'm an astronomer, right, Like I 227 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 3: said earlier. I study galaxies when they're crashing into each other. 228 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 3: I study the super massive black holes that are inside them. 229 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 3: I study the star formation history of the universe, things 230 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 3: like that. So I use quantum physics every day, but 231 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 3: I don't actually conduct research in the debts and the 232 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 3: details of quantum physics. Right. So I wanted to show 233 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 3: everybody who wanted to be curious about it what quantum 234 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 3: physics specifically is like on a regular basis. You know, 235 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 3: you look for handy books or handy guides to things 236 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 3: when you want to know stuff that's cool, but you 237 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 3: don't need necessarily to get into the weeds right. And 238 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 3: so that's what the Handy Quantum Physics answer Book is 239 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 3: a out. You want to know a little bit about quantum, 240 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 3: you want to know a lot about quantum. Here it is. 241 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 3: But it's not written in a way that's for the 242 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 3: technical people or for the researchers. It's for you and me. 243 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 3: We're just taking all the cool ideas and concepts that 244 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 3: have been expressed through mathematics and through physical research and 245 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 3: just giving it for all of us to be able 246 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 3: to use and to enjoy. 247 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: Listen to more Coast to Coast AM every weeknight at 248 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: oneam Eastern, and go to Coast to coastam dot com 249 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: for more
