In this episode Curt Jaimungal talks with Professor Felix Finster about his causal fermion systems framework, a radical approach that builds spacetime and quantum physics from underlying correlations. The conversation covers the Dirac sea, emergence of geometry, the Born rule, and implications for quantum gravity and cosmology.
