In this episode of Do Explain, Christofer speaks with Sam Kuypers about why the world isn't best described as a mechanical clockwork of atoms . They discuss determinism and causality, myths in quantum physics, evolutionary psychology, and other related topics.
Sam Kuypers, known as Crit Rat on Twitter, is a DPhil student in physics at the University of Oxford. He researches foundational issues in quantum theory and, besides physics, is mainly interested in the philosophy of science, as his twitter-handle suggests (@Crit_Rat).
