单集简介 ...

Quantum theory describes the tiny building blocks that make up everything around us. It has made many successful predictions but could a new, more radical idea help us make better sense of the world around us? Could it even be the answer to creating world peace? Carlo Rovelli is an Italian theoretical physicist and writer behind the relational interpretation of quantum mechanics. His idea suggests that the fundamental building blocks of the universe are not particles or objects as many of us are taught in school, but relationships and interactions between them. In this episode, Rovelli explains why he believes we should all be applying his theory to our everyday lives and relationships. And how it could even help improve international relations.  To read about subjects like this and much more, visit newscientist.com. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  • Hello and welcome to Culture Lab.

  • I'm Christy Taylor.

  • This is the show all about how science plays out in our cultural creations.

  • We talk books and movies, music and how about global conflict?

  • Hear me out.

  • Carla Rovelli is a physicist and author of many books about how research in his field is increasingly complicating how we can view our reality.

  • Take relational quantum mechanics, which argues that the quantum state of a system has to be interpreted relative to the state of other systems.

  • Kind of like how in classical physics something like the velocity of a baseball is always relative to other objects.

  • But Rovelli also says that this relational approach should expand well beyond the world of quantum physics, from biology to politics.
