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 Demand Useful Links [email protected]  https://thomknoles.com/ https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoles https://www.facebook.com/thethomknoles https://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoles https://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/
