Quantum Mechanics for Beginners

When we think of quantum mechanics, most of us conjure up images of nutty professors and blackboards filled with incomprehensible equations. Though quantum mechanics does indeed have a lot to do with seemingly incomprehensible math, the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics are well worth understanding as they give us a fresh perspective on which to view the Universe we live in.In this episode, Thom gives us a lay-person overview of the essentials of quantum mechanics. Importantly, he explains how our consciousness shapes our world and why we should always question our assumptions.  Episode Highlights:[00:45] The Quest for Quarks[04:33] Ignore That[07:28] The Ultimate Discovery of Physics[09:30] Consciousness in Physics[11:28] There Are No Particles[13:01] Questioning Assumptions[15:50] You Live in a Universe that is a Response to Your Expectation[19:15] The Aristotelian DemandUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/
