Ep. 10: Curious how quantum mechanics can inform us about how the world really works, and how we can apply quantum principles to expand our own lives? Today's conversation with theoretical physicist and philosopher Thad Roberts is an illuminating look at the nature of reality, and a riveting glimpse into his journey working with NASA, masterminding the infamous moon rock caper, and dedicating his life to exploring the mysteries of modern physics and bringing Einstein's Intuition to life.
