Description
Dr. David Wallace is a philosopher of science and a physicist, with doctorates in physics and philosophy. He works on the foundations of physics, and he is a proponent of the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. His list of works can be found below. In this podcast episode, we discuss the "philosophy of physics" lens to look at different topics in physics.
