ISAFACTS #20: Quantum Social Sciences: A Fusion Between IR and Physics

Have you heard about the Barbie Movie 2 casting rumor?

The actor playing Oppenheimer a.k.a Cillian Murphy wants to be ‘Ken’!

You might already be familiar with the movie Oppenheimer, which dives deep into the life of Oppenheimer, the creator of the atomic bomb. If you’ve watched the movie already, you might be perplexed about the quantum physics and the complex science behind the atomic bomb.

But did you know that the same principles behind the atomic bomb could be implemented to international relations?

Now, calling all natural and social sciences student alike, let’s gather around!
You might find satisfaction in the above facts because this time, ISAFACTS will be exploring the quantum frontier, where the realms of international relations and physics converge. Besides discussing physics, for those who are well-versed in international relations, you might be familiar with Alexander Wendt, the expert on the constructivism perspective in international relations. We hope that the perspective provided in this post will astonish you and provide a deeper understanding.
