    8 - Time Travel (Part 1)

    Remember that one embarrassing thing you'd done 5 years ago that you still think about to this day? What if you could go back in time and change the past so that that thing had never happened? In this episode, we will explore a question that has intrigued humans for generations: Is Time Travel Possible?

    2 - The Two Interpretations

    The quantum world is so mind bending that till date, science does not have any concrete answers to how it works. That being said, the study of quantum physics is governed by four main interpretations. In this Episode, we will be exploring the two most widely accepted interpretations: the Copenhagen and Many Worlds Interpretations.

    1 - Wave Particle Duality

    An electron is a particle. Right? But then why does it exhibit wave properties in some situations? Ok, so then its a wave? No, because why does it act like a particle in some situations? So then maybe... Maybe it's both?
