aboutlogic

We are a new bi-weekly podcast where logic, mathematics, philosophy, and computer science meet.
aboutlogic features in-depth conversations with people working in and around the foundations of these subjects. We talk about topics ranging from the foundations of computer science and set theory to critical thinking, puzzles, and what academic life is really like—its motivations, frustrations, and surprises.

aboutlogic #12 | In this episode of aboutlogic, we’re joined by UrsSchreiber, a senior scientist at New York University Abu Dhabi. Urs shares insights into his work at the intersection of quantum physics, topos theory, and homotopy type theory. We explore how these advanced mathematical frameworks help address fundamental questions in physics, from understanding gauge fields to the role of higher category theory in describing the universe. Urs also discusses the historical and philosophical connections between physics and logic, and how modern mathematics is shaping our understanding of reality.
