27: Ian Jauslin - crystals, complications, and curiosity

With mathematical physicist Ian Jauslin, we explore both scientific and personal topics, including:

- whether our universe could be nonlocal

- why not to put people and concepts into boxes

- what can math look like when approached organically

- how to constantly keep learning
