Does quantum physics disprove relativity? | Jacob Barandes, Ivette Fuentes, and Tim Maudlin
256Jacob Barandes, Ivette Fuentes, and Tim Maudlin discuss where quantum entanglement and relativity fit in with new and emerging theories in physics.
Can quantum theory and Einstein's theories of relativity co-exist?

The behaviour of particles in the quantum world is very different from our everyday experience and classical physics. In quantum physics, we cannot fully predict the outcomes of individual events, and particles that have interacted can exhibit correlations over large distances, a phenomenon known as 'entanglement'. This phenomenon is known as 'non-locality', something Einstein famously dismissed as 'spooky action at a distance'. Join philosopher of science, Tim Maudlin, theoretical physicists Jacob A. Barandes and Ivette Fuentes as they debate the future of quantum mechanics and explore the evidence for reality being non-local.

Jacob Barandes is a Harvard University theoretical physicist and philosopher of science. His research explores the foundations of quantum theory, spacetime, and the nature of scientific explanation.
Ivette Fuentes is a physicist at the University of Southampton and Emmy Fellow at the University of Oxford. Her work and previous collaborations with Roger Penrose considers fundamental quantum mechanics, quantum optics and their interplay with general relativity.
Tim Maudlin is a celebrated philosopher of science, renowned for his work on the foundations of physics and metaphysics. He is also an author and professor at New York University.
