Matt O'Dowd picks apart the mystery of quantum entanglement, offering different interpretations for this baffling phenomena.

Is reality non-local or is our understanding incomplete?

Since Einstein and Bohr's famous clash over whether God plays dice with the universe, we have been left with more questions than answers. Will we ever be able to fully determine how the universe works or is everything fundamentally up to chance? And how can we reconcile the quantum world with the classical world? Join Sabine Hossenfelder, science communicator and arch-defender of the super-deterministic narrative, in conversation with Matt O'Dowd, an astrophysicist who challenges our commitment to the idea of reality itself, on how we might go about finding answers to the quantum puzzle, and what this means for the future of quantum theory.
