  Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet.

• 00:03

  I'm producer Mia Sorrenti.

• 00:05

  Why does the universe behave in ways that defy logic?

• 00:08

  And can anyone truly understand it?

• 00:11

  In this episode, we're joined by physicist Frank Vistrate and writer Celine Brocutt,

• 00:16

  the husband and wife team behind the new book Why Nobody Understands Quantum Physics.

• 00:20

  Together, they take us on a journey into the strangest and most essential corner of science.

• 00:25

  unpacking everything from quantum entanglement to the surprising role of symmetry in nature.

• 00:30

  Frank and Celine sat down with Dr. Shini Samara to discuss this vital branch of physics and why it is so misunderstood and underappreciated in the mainstream.

• 00:39

  Let's join Shini now with more.

• 00:42

  Welcome to Intelligence Squared.

• 00:44

  I'm Dr. Shini Samara.

• 00:45

  Quantum physics is the cornerstone of our world,

• 00:48

  yet at the same time it's one of the hardest subjects for ordinary mortals to grasp.

• 00:53

  Our guests today are Frank Vastrata and Celine Brookhart,

• 00:58

  a husband and wife duo set on demystifying this essential branch of science.

• 01:03

  Frank is Lee Trapnel Professor of Quantum Physics at the University of Cambridge and one of the world's leading physicists with unparalleled insights into the latest research.

• 01:14

  Celine is a writer who translates these scientific revelations into everyday language.

• 01:20

  Together,

• 01:21

  they unravel the reasons the universe behaves in the weird way that it does and just why it's so important to understand them.
