Your Daily Equation #23: Deriving Classical from Quantum Physics: Ehrenfest's Theorem

Episode 23 #YourDailyEquation: Classical and Quantum Physics describe reality in completely different ways. Yet, in 1927, Paul Ehrenfest showed how Newton's equation could be derived from Schrödinger's, establishing a deep continuity in our understanding of the physical universe. Join Brian Greene for a brief explanation of Ehrenfest's essential idea as well as the mathematical manipulations he required to realize it.

We’d love to see & hear your questions for future Q&As with Brian Greene. Send us a video (less than 20 seconds please!) of yourself asking your question to: questions@worldsciencefestival.com

Monday - Friday at 3pm EDT, Brian will offer brief and breezy discussions of pivotal equations. Even if your math is a bit rusty, tune in for accessible and exciting stories of nature and numbers that will allow you to see the universe in a new way.
