For over a century, quantum mechanics has unsettled our most basic assumptions about reality, with radical implications for metaphysics. Join Roger Penrose collaborator and leading quantum physicist, Ivette Fuentes, to learn what the founders of quantum mechanics – from Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg to Erwin Schrödinger and Eugene Wigner – really thought about the metaphysics of their theories. Fuentes will cover how modern interpretations – from many-worlds to objective collapse – treat the role of the observer and consciousness, and whether quantum theory might show that reality itself is up for grabs.
