Quantum Physics and Identity: Is Anything Actually Fixed?

Last episode ended at the edge of the quantum world, so this time we go in. We break down Young's double-slit experiment, exploring the paradox that the closer we look at the particles that make up our world, the less certain they become. As the conversation unfolds we stumble upon a surprising parallel between modern psychology, Eastern esotericism, and the context-dependent nature of the quantum world. Just like the electrons in the double-slit experiment, we are also observed, also measured, and also different depending on the environment we're in, so could it be that the empirical and the experiential are actually mirrors of one another, describing similar things in different languages?
