    Beyond the Horizon: "Exploring the Philosophy of Quantum Mechanics between Multiverse and Probability"

    Beyond the Horizon: "Exploring the Philosophy of Quantum Mechanics between Multiverse and Probability"

    Have you ever heard of the multiverse? In this captivating podcast, we delve into the fascinating field that birthed these incredible theories. Join Elena and Julia, students at King's College London pursuing their Bachelor's degrees in Physics and Philosophy, as they embark on a journey along the delicate border that separates these two disciplines.
    In this first episode of Beyond the Horizon, we're thrilled to welcome Julia Pressner, a third-year student deeply immersed in her dissertation on the philosophy of quantum mechanics. Julia’s research focuses on the problem of probability in interpretations of quantum mechanics, and she hopes to show that probability in general is more problematic than people think!
