The Quantum and Cosmological Scales

Series
The Physics of Fine-Tuning
Video Embed
How do we combine our theory of the very small with our theory of the largest scales of the universe? In the second part of their discussion, Jim Hartle and Bernard Carr hash out the connections between cosmology and quantum mechanics.
They also discuss how the probabilities of quantum mechanics can be applied to the universe on its largest scales. This discussion was conducted in the Denys Wilkinson Building, Oxford, on October 18, 2016.
