David Kaiser's Quantum Legacies -- Nukes, SETI, and Quantum Entanglement

David Kaiser, MIT professor of physics and the history of science, joins Brian Keating on the Impossible Podcast to discuss his new book, *Quantum Legacies*. The conversation explores the impact of quantum mechanics on various fields, from cosmology to popular culture, and delves into the history and pedagogy of physics. Kaiser reflects on Stephen Hawking's influence on his work, emphasizing Hawking's ability to combine complex concepts with personal stories. They discuss the role of universities in open-source education and the potential for augmented reality in pedagogy. Kaiser also shares insights from his work on the Cosmic Bell Experiments, highlighting the international collaboration and the use of astronomical observations to test quantum entanglement.
