Explore the unresolved mysteries of quantum physics in this thought-provoking public lecture by Lee Smolin, based on his book "Einstein's Unfinished Revolution." Delve into the fundamental issues that have plagued quantum theory since its inception and discover why these problems remain unsolved. Examine the concept of an incomplete theory and the potential for groundbreaking discoveries in quantum physics. Investigate key topics such as realism, operational theory, and the contributions of Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg. Analyze the uncertainty principle, general relativity, and the measurement problem. Tackle the famous Cat Problem and explore entangled states, criteria for reality, momentum and position, locality, and the Bell inequality. Gain insights into the ongoing quest to reconcile quantum mechanics with our understanding of the universe and the potential for a more complete theory of quantum physics.
