In this book, leading physicist Nick Herbert has created a key work which goes far deeper into its subject than the acknowledged classics in the field. Dr. Herbert addresses the age-old question: What is reality? by firs…

“zero, Bob minus 60. And this particular proof I personally learned from the book by Nick Herbert called Quantum Reality. So shout out to Nick Herbert, nice, clear proof. So let's just try and do it. Here's our chart. And we have all these runs at the experiment because remember these are”

This is a careful lecture that can be followed with zero background knowledge. Einstein thought he’d caught quantum mechanics in an act of spookiness — this podcast asks whether he was even worried about the right thing. Tim Maudlin, professor of philosophy at NYU and a leading philosopher of physics, delivers a rare full lecture tracing Einstein, EPR, and the road to Bell’s theorem. The central claim: Einstein’s real objection was never determinism — “God does not play dice” is a red herring — but non-locality, which he inferred rather than assumed. Maudlin traces the argument from Einstein’s overlooked 1927 Solvay objection through the EPR paper’s criterion of reality, showing why Bohr’s famous reply never actually answered it.
