The Many Hidden Worlds of Quantum Mechanics — Season 1, Episode 20: Space Emerges From Entanglement
Documentary • 30 min • 1 season, 24 episodes • ★ 10.0/10
Episode synopsis
Starting with the basic ingredients of quantum theory-wave functions, Schrödinger's equation, and entanglement-and following the Many-Worlds approach, probe this question: What circumstances lead to emergent branches of the wave function that look like matter moving in curved spacetime-that is, in gravitational fields? Find that gravity may be a natural consequence of quantum mechanics.
