Dr. Tim Maudlin, professor of philosophy at NYU, joins me to discuss the difference between quantum and classical mechanics, that various "interpretations" of quantum mechanics, why Sean Carroll is wrong to suppose that the many-worlds interpretation is better than all the rest, what Einstein's theories of special and general relativity tell us about the nature of time, and how philosophy and science relate.
