On Probability, Multiverses, and Yogi Berra—Harvey Brown, University of Oxford - a podcast by University of Notre Dame

The idea behind this show is pretty simple: A university campus is a destination for all kinds of interesting people, so why not invite some of these folks out to brunch, where we’ll have an informal conversation about their work, and then we’ll turn those brunches into a podcast?

It’s a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

In this episode, host Ted Fox chats with Harvey Brown, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy of Physics at Oxford, who explained how trying to define probability—which at first might sound simple—is actually part of the broader complexity of quantum mechanics. But don't worry: No prior knowledge of quantum mechanics is required. Otherwise Ted would've been in real trouble.
