In a deep exploration of how we perceive the universe, physicist Brian Cox reveals that our measurements of space and time are influenced by human perspective, leading to potential misconceptions about the universe. He emphasizes the importance of fundamental constants, like the speed of light and gravity, which shape our understanding of both the microscopic subatomic world and the macroscopic universe. Cox argues that recognizing the coherence between these realms is vital for advancing technologies such as quantum computing and understanding the nature of reality itself, despite ongoing debates in quantum physics interpretation.
I think it's important to say that there aren't different rules of the game in the subatomic world and the world that we observe. This world of common sense, let's say, that we perceive, and it's pretty well understood, I would say, it's well understood, how the world that we see emerges from this rather strange but well-defined behavior that we see in the subatomic world.
How do we measure the universe, and are we doing it wrong? Physicist Brian Cox uncovers the hidden assumptions behind our units of measurement, showing how human perspective distorts our understanding of space, time, and scale.
