As a listener of TOE you can get a special 20% off discount to The Economist and all it has to offer! Visit https://www.economist.com/toePhysicist Yakir Aharonov argues that the standard story of quantum mechanics is wrong, proposing a time-symmetric “two-state vector” view in which reality is defined by wavefunctions from both past and future. He explains weak measurements (information without collapse), nonlocal dynamics behind interference, and phenomena like the “quantum Cheshire Cat.”

What happens when you fall into a black hole? Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice give us the step-by-step on spaghettification, explain Schrodinger's cat, and explore quantum tunnelling… Or do they? NOTE: StarTalk+ Patrons can listen to this entire episode commercial-free here: https://startalkmedia.com/show/things-you-thought-you-knew-quantum-cat/Thanks to our Patrons Peter Nguyen, Noah Narh, Oliver Anderson, Oleksandr, TULAKAR JHA, Marziee, Carmen, Erica Trebesch, Joan Cotkin, Steve, Kevin, renee

Your goals right now? They’re just like Schrödinger’s cat—alive and dead at the same time… until you decide to take action. In this episode of Quest for Success, Dr. Jerry Cunningham breaks down how a physics thought experiment can transform the way you lead, live, and chase success. You’ll learn how uncertainty can actually be your greatest advantage, how belief and persistence “collapse” potential into results, and why leaders, who act before they have all the answers and they win more often. If

How do we know, what we want to do?Would you do what you do, if you didn’t get paid?In this episode I talk about neuroplasticity, passion, learning how to read & listen to your body to help in decision making.From everyday decision making to choosing a career, I’ll share my insights and methods how can we can understand our passions and what we want to do in our lives.Wishing that this episode will reach those who really need these words <3Let me know what you think!Lots of love,Son xxxCat

What if reality is not what it seems? In Helgoland, physicist Carlo Rovelli takes us deep into the fascinating world of quantum physics, exploring uncertainty, superposition, entanglement, and the relational nature of reality.This review will guide you through the key ideas of Rovelli’s book, from Heisenberg’s breakthrough on a small island in the North Sea, to the philosophical implications that challenge how we think about existence itself.If you’ve ever wondered about Schrödinger’s cat, the

Buckle up for another episode with The Space Tomatoes Podcast hosts Havok and LX, where rural rants meet reel talk in the most unhinged way possible! This episode blasts off with Mark Twain haikus gone wrong, escalates to epic fails on remembering names (but nailing column numbers like a boss), and dives headfirst into animal anarchy, think feral cat rooftop raids, crunchy grass horse gripes, and the eternal wait for those dream German Shepherd pups (no Malinois madness here, thank goodness). From

Publish or Purrish: The Cat Who Co-Authored Physics Episode Overview: In this episode of Math! Science! History!, we uncover the remarkable story of F.D.C. Willard, the Siamese cat who became a published co-author in a world-renowned physics journal. What began as a workaround for rigid authorship conventions turned into a beloved legend in science history. But Willard wasn’t alone. We also take a closer look at other non-human co-authors, from a dog in immunology, to a hamster in physics, and even

When cats fall from a great height, they twist their bodies, searching to reorient themselves, using their tails to rotate their bodies to an upright position before bracing for impact. This requires a geometrical equation cats know innately and put into practice within the span of two seconds before they land on their paws, give […] The post Cat Physics, Deconstruction, and the Shape of Love appeared first on Uncanny Magazine.

Send us a text In this episode of SoulPodcast, Crystal Cassidy and Cat Mansfield explore the profound significance of the heart center in spiritual development. They delve into the science of heart coherence, discussing how the heart communicates with the brain and its role in emotional and spiritual healing. The conversation emphasizes the importance of gratitude as a tool for achieving heart coherence and the balance between giving and receiving love. They also address the journey of self-l...

If quantum physics has taught us anything, it’s that the observer is not a bystander. Observation changes what is observed. Reality, at its most fundamental level, behaves less like a fixed stage and more like an improvisation—an ongoing co-creation between consciousness and matter. We are not watching a play unfold from the audience; we are on stage, rewriting the script with every glance, thought, and choice.Schrödinger’s cat still sits at the center of this mystery. Before we open the box, the

In Quantum Faith, Charles and Annette Capps reveal how the words we speak operate on the same principles that govern the universe. Just as quantum physics shows that unseen forces shape the visible world, God’s Word teaches that our faith-filled words have creative power. They explain that speaking in line with God’s promises sets spiritual forces in motion, while negative words can hinder blessings. This message challenges believers to take their words seriously, renew their minds with

Developer Noodle Cat Games announced co-op action RPG Cloudheim will come to Steam Early Access later this year. In addition, the company released a demo for PC via Steam. The demo lets players access the game’s tutorial, the airborne base of operations Odin Shell, and Acts I & II of the story in Arcadia. Cloudheim is set in a Norse-inspired world and looks to combine crafting with physics-based combat. It sees players looking to expand their flying turtle base, exploring islands and dungeons in

I've been stuck in this world for just over a year now.

Sarah is living her best childless life and Susie has a cat with an unfortunate habit. We discuss the wildly disturbing documentary Unknown Number about the high school girl who was bullied by her own mom, the reason the documentary was more disturbing than the articles we've already discussed on the show, and why experts are calling this a new form of Munchausen Syndrome. We learn about an amputation doctor who has a fetish for cutting off body parts, why he got arrested, and how he manifested his

Our Brains are just not wired to understand Quantum Physics..But that didn’t stop me from sitting down with Frank Verstraete the Professor of Quantum Mechanics at Cambridge University and his wife Celine Broeckaert a writer and creative.Together they’ve written the best selling book “Why Nobody Understands Quantum Physics” and it’s a brilliant read..Particles can be at multiple places simultaneously.. Shrodinger’s cat in the box can be thought of as both alive and dead..Wrap your head around

Send us a text In this conversation, host Crystal Cassidy together with SoulPod team members Cat Mansfield and Linda Davio, explores the multifaceted nature of forgiveness, discussing its emotional, psychological, and spiritual dimensions. They delve into the science behind forgiveness, its impact on health, and the importance of self-forgiveness. The discussion emphasizes that forgiveness is not just about letting go of grudges but also about reclaiming one's energy and fostering personal gr...

Susie has an update on her cat situation, and Sarah is learning more than she ever wanted to know about cat cafes. We debate the cake smash tradition at weddings, and we hear why the more violent and abusive examples of this are going viral on TikTok. And we consider why men resort to this aggressive ritual even when they're humiliating or hurting the bride. We learn about a group of shark bite survivors who have formed a community to help each other with side effects both physical and emotional,

Schrödinger's intention was that his cat analogy serve as a criticism of the notion of a particle being in a superposition of states. Once again the supporters of the Copenhagen interpretation hi-jacked the criticism and used it to support the notion. The theory underlying quantum computers is this unsound notion. Superposition is a quality unique to waves, for example several vibrations overlapping each other and causing an interference pattern. So it is not surprising that after sever...
