Episode 13.44: Reality and the Classical World
from Unmaking Sense · host John Puddefoot
The fact that creatures constituted as we are are bound to think that the world behaves the way the classical world behaves does not imply that the classical world is real or that it exists permanently over against the quantum world. On the contrary the universe must be quantum all the way up and all the way down if it is quantum at all. And most of what happens in the quantum world happens beyond our knowledge and control.
