She teaches all about quantum physics in a fun and simple way. Quantum physics is the study of the smallest things in the universe, and it's one of the most fascinating and important branches of science. But it can also be very confusing, especially for kids. In this podcast, Tanvi explains complex concepts like entanglement, superposition, uncertainty principle and a lot more, in a way that anyone can understand. So whether you're a kid, a parent, or just someone curious about quantum physics, subscribe NOW!","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/quantum-physics-for-kids-6713249"},"episode":{"title":"Understanding the EPR Paradox - Einstein’s Challenge to Quantum Entanglement","slug":"understanding-the-epr-paradox-einstein-s-challenge-to-quantum-entanglement","published_at":"2024-01-16T23:54:37+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/quantum-physics-for-kids-6713249/understanding-the-epr-paradox-einstein-s-challenge-to-quantum-entanglement","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/quantum-physics-for-kids-6713249","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tanvigopalan/episodes/Understanding-the-EPR-Paradox---Einsteins-Challenge-to-Quantum-Entanglement-e2ehql9","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/e9887004/podcast/play/81373289/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2024-0-16%2F363735818-44100-2-d4ea7a3d6ebad.mp3","summary":"Explore the 1935 EPR paradox and Einstein's attempt to prove quantum mechanics was an incomplete theory.
