Interview with Prof. Alastair Wilson, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Birmingham, where he also leads the FraMEPhys (A Framework for Metaphysical Explanation in Physics) research project. We talk about the metaphysics of quantum physics, and in particular, about his thesis of quantum modal realism, which is, roughly, the view that the many worlds of the Everett interpretation of quantum mechanics are what we think of as being metaphysically possible. This thesis is developed in detail in his new and excellent book The Nature of Contingency: Quantum Physics as Modal Realism (https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-nature-of-contingency-9780198846215).
