Merle Graf-Schreiber explains how the universe is lazy
Episode 2 of our new season of Science Chatter Hamburg podcast dives into the Principle of Minimal Action with Merle Graf-Schrieber, where she explains to us why it fascinated her during her Physics studies. Merle describes it as a puzzle piece that she didn’t even know she needed to complete the puzzle. She further talks about how it is fundamental not only to the classical mechanics we observe every day, but also to quantum mechanics that appears to contradict our every day experiences. Tune in for more on the topic!
Merle is a PhD student at DESY, working in elementary particle physics. Apart from physics, she is also interested in music. theatre and languages.
