Physicist and Nobel laureate Richard Feynman famously said, “I think I can safely say that nobody really understands quantum mechanics.”
His teacher, John Archibald Wheeler, took the meaning of quantum physics to be that "no phenomenon is a real phenomenon until it is an observed phenomenon." On the other side of this view stood Albert Einstein, who expressed his concerns with quantum physics by saying "God does not play dice." He maintained a 40 year debate with Niels Bohr, one of the founders of quantum physics, on how it should be interpreted.
Which view is correct? Are Life and Mind irrelevant to the cosmos? Or are they central, as Hegel contends. This podcast episode explores.
