Question Barn 4

The Titanium Physicists Podcast ·

2014/12/09

email your questions to tiphyter@titaniumphysics.com the question today: "Howdy, The Higgs boson turned out to be a massive particle from what I understand. It is also supposed to be a field through which everything moves. So, there must be a lot of them, I reason. So, could this be the missing mass of the universe? Maybe there is some obvious reason that it is not, but I have not heard the idea mentioned and it seems obvious to me."

Mr. Noah Zimmerman joins us to talk about nuclear magnetic resonance. you know MRIs? "Magnetic resonance Imaging" is what it stands for, "Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging" is what it actually stands for. Essentially, magnets are used to make the nuclei in your atoms stand up and dance. Our experts are the Mighty Dr. Fiona Burnell, and the Mighty Dr. Abby Shockley. THIS IS SO MUCH FUN!

Ep 49: Parallel Philosophies with Christopher Reynaga

The Titanium Physicists Podcast ·

2014/08/01

Christopher Reynaga is an awesome author, and he has written the best story ever which is called “I Only Am Escaped Alone to Tell Thee” . look it up, a link to a podcast reading of the story will be on teh website. Anyway, I wanted to talk to him so I told him that I'd explain many worlds Quantum mechanics to him. well, that and copenhagen interpretation, why not. So this week's episode is where the math side of physics meets the philosophy side of physics! Experts are Ken Clark and Tia

Domains of Influence with Matt Sheehy and Brent Knopf

The Titanium Physicists Podcast ·

2014/07/01

Some famous singing clowns once sang a song about magnets. The world looks down on a singing clown's ignorance, but how many of us can actually explain how magnets work? the question is rhetorical, though, because the answer is obviously "yes I can do it because i am a physicist and i have clever physicist friends who also know a lot about it." i recruited my old pals Brian Sullivan and Fiona Burnell! Our guests today are Matt Sheehy from the band 'Lost Lander' and Brent Knopf from the band

Episode 47: The Song Of Falling Stars with Robot Hugs

The Titanium Physicists Podcast ·

2014/06/18

Long story short: there's no such thing as a stable orbit... any two objects in orbit will emit gravitational waves.. and slowly get closer and closer together. If the two objects in question are neutron stars, we can even detect the gravitational waves! We hope to "hear" them soon with the LIGO gravitational Wave Observatory! Today's guest it Robot Hugs, the author of the Robot Hugs comic. The Physicists are Jocelyn Read and David Tsang! WHAT FUN!

The Titanium Physicists Podcast ·

2014/03/28

The most amazing thing has come to pass: a telescope at the south pole called BICEP2 has detected decisive evidence demonstrating that the model of how the universe grew over the first second of existence is correct. It detected evidence of gravitational waves which were generated during inflation! I've put the best team together. Katie Mack! Mike Zemcov... and returning to the show, RYAN NORTH. it's a the best episode we have made.

There was a time when light would not shine in the universe. There was a time when nothing was shining, and the universe was full of light-absorbing gas. But the first stars came, and pushed back the darkness and made the heavens clear. This is the story of the dark age of the universe. Physicists Vicky Scowcroft and Mike Zemcov explain everything to THE TOLKEIN PROFESSOR Corey Olsen.

The Titanium Physicists Podcast ·

2013/12/22

Teachers take things from an unrefined state to a point where they are wonderous. Poets are apt at describing both of these. This episode of TiPhy aims to teach genius poet Taylor Mali about where the planets in our solar system came from.

The Titanium Physicists Podcast ·

2013/12/07

So. If someone comes up to you and tells you that there are planets out there made of ice and water, you'd go "yeah". and if they said "there are planets made of diamond", you'd probably shrug. what if I told you there were stars made of pasta? well there aren't. theyr'e made of protons and neutrons and electrons that are shaped like pasta! PASTA PHASES OF MATTER IN NEUTRON STARS!!!! My guest is my old pal sean martin. My experts are Jocelyn Read and Andrew Steiner. FUN!
