Matt Trump dives into the newly awarded 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for macroscopic quantum tunneling, a discovery bridging the microscopic world of quantum mechanics with the macroscopic reality we live in. With his trademark mix of science, storytelling, and cultural context, Matt connects this breakthrough to the legacy of Einstein, the golden era of 1980s physics, and even time-travel tales like Back to the Future. He breaks down how physicists John Clark, Michael Devoret, and John Martinez achieved what was once thought impossible: demonstrating quantum effects on a visible, measurable scale, paving the way for the future of quantum computing. Part science lecture, part philosophical reflection, this episode proves that physics isn’t just alive, it’s spellbinding.
