Amit Goswami, Ph. D. is a retired professor from the theoretical physics department of the University of Oregon in Eugene. He has authored numerous books on the ideas and concepts surrounding quantum physics, including "Quantum Mechanics", "God is Not Dead", and "The Self-Aware Universe".
All right, we are here with Dr. Goswami. Thank you very much for doing this. I really appreciate it.
I've seen a lot of your videos online. I read a lot of your work and it is some very, very fascinating and for a person as dumb as I am, confusing.
The idea of quantum mechanics and just when someone uses the word quantum, do you find that a lot of folks that just eyes glaze over?
Well, not anymore because, you know, the most complex, one of the most complex concepts of quantum physics is quantum leap.
It's a discontinuous transition and that gives an idea of how foreign it is to a mind which thinks in the Newtonian fashion.
You know, motion is continuous and quantum leap is discontinuous.
But it's used everywhere today. Everybody knows.
Right.
