Jung, Pauli, and the Mathematical Atom - James P. Dowling, DemystifySci #371

In this episode James P. Dowling talks us through the unlikely
friendship between physicist Wolfgang Pauli and psychologist Carl
Jung. Their dialogue on quantum mechanics and archetypes pulled
science and myth into the same room, forcing each to reckon with
the other’s language. Out of their exchanges came visions of
atoms haunted by the unconscious, and shadows that reached into
equations. We follow their conversation to ask what happens when
reason and dream try to share the same desk.
