Can physics get one? Jonathan Gorard, an applied mathematician and the cofounder and CEO of Lanyon AI, joins to explain why AI took off in math and coding but not yet in physics. We discuss an AI finishing the formal check of a Fields Medal proof and why it scared him,

Why do we turn on innocent people? A convincing story, a suspicious glance and suddenly everyone’s an armchair detective. But what happens when the crowd gets it completely wrong?Hannah Fry and Michael Stevens explore the psychology of false accusations, witch hunts and mob mentality, starting with Richard Jewell, the security guard hailed as a hero after the 1996 Atlanta Olympics bombing before becoming the target of a media storm. From the Salem witch trials and the Satanic Panic to

What a time to be alive ladies and gentlemen. We are all desperately clutching our opinions, none more so than me, afraid that some nihlist will come along and take our worldviews away from us. Fear not brethren, for death will come for us all in he end, and our opinions, nay, our entire lives, will return to the dust whether we clutch them or not.Anyway, this episodes about AI again. email me at godseyeviewbook@gmail.com

Scientists at Auburn University have developed a new framework suggesting that heat can retain a physical “memory” of past thermal events.At microscopic scales and extremely short timescales, heat may behave in ways that go beyond traditional diffusion. The discovery could help engineers better understand and control heat in increasingly small and powerful computer chips.This episode includes AI-generated content.

Michael hands Hannah a kendama, the Japanese cup-and-ball toy, and asks her to land a single catch. Then he brings out one built for him by Adam Savage of MythBusters and explains why a heavier kendama is a completely different physics problem.A kendama looks like a children's toy. It is really a pendulum, a lesson in angular momentum and a catching problem borrowed from spacecraft docking. Michael and Hannah get into why the swing timing barely changes when the ball gets heavier, why the trick

Smoke does not just slow people down, it changes what they believe is even possible. That simple idea is why we get so excited about pyFDS-Evac, an open source workflow that connects Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) results directly to modern evacuation modeling with JuPedSim. When the fire environment can remove an exit from view, reduce walking speed through extinction and soot exposure, or even incapacitate an agent, you stop “post-processing evacuation” and start modeling decisions that resp...

On this month’s episode of Brains and Machines, five engineers debate neuromorphic sensing and learning. Recorded at the Neuromorphic Hardware and Algorithms conference at the University of Sussex, the panel explores whether events and spikes are the right framework for integrating sensor modalities, motor control, and learning across systems. They also examine commercial directions and revisit the perennial question: what is neuromorphic engineering?The panelists are:Dr. Chiara Bartolozzi (Italian

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have demonstrated a surprising new version of the Hall effect, showing that magnetic fields can generate electrical signals within the same plane of a material—without the perpendicular magnetic field traditionally considered necessary.Using an ultrathin tantalum-iridium-tellurium structure, the discovery could enable smaller, more efficient multidimensional magnetic sensors for electronics, medical imaging, and navigationThis episode includes AI-generated

Two rooms, two years, both in England. Cambridge, nineteen twenty-nine. Ludwig Wittgenstein has just returned to Trinity after six years away. He came in nineteen eleven at twenty-two, the son of one of the wealthiest industrialists in Austria-Hungary, meaning to study engineering; within a week he was in Russell's rooms arguing about the foundations of logic. He gave away the entire family fortune, wrote the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus in the trenches on the Italian front, published the book

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.What happens when we look beyond the surface and start asking bigger questions about science, the universe, faith, and God?In this episode of The Wonder Why, I’m joined by Richard, author of The Bridge from Science to God, for a conversation about his journey from focusing on science to connecting science with his belief in God.We talk about the Big Bang, the laws of physics, atoms, DNA, intelligent design, the complexity of living cells, the

Marie Lepske brings a combination that's genuinely rare in venture: a background in applied mathematics and physics, early experience covering quantum at Runa Capital before most generalist funds knew the field existed, and now a GP seat at Constructor Capital, which closed a $110M Fund I in February 2026 with more than half its capital directed toward next-generation computing including quantum. She backed Qnami at Runa — a quantum sensing company acquired by Quantum Design in June 2026,

Wormholes are one of the most fascinating ideas in theoretical physics, but how much of what we see in science fiction is actually possible? Support us on Pateron :https://www.patreon.com/c/EntropyRising In this episode of Entropy Rising, we take a deep dive into wormholes, from Einstein-Rosen bridges and general relativity to the biggest problems with keeping a wormhole open. We explore what physicists actually say about traversable wormholes, exotic matter, stability, and whether these sh...

What is fire, and why does watching it hold our attention in a different way from scrolling on your phone?Hannah Fry and Michael Stevens start with the science of a flame: why it glows, what its different colours reveal, and why fire is a series of chemical reactions rather than a single substance. Then they travel back to a time before wildfires could burn on Earth, and ask how early humans learned to use and make it. Could keeping a fire alive have helped our ancestors learn to plan and

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. What if there’s more to the Bible than we’ve been taught to see?In this episode of The Wonder Why, I’m joined by Dror for a conversation about the Bible, Hebrew, and the deeper meanings he believes can be found throughout biblical stories.We talk about why Hebrew can be important when interpreting Scripture, Dror’s perspective on Jesus being a plowman rather than a carpenter, the story of Moses and the rock, and how he believes the New

New breakthroughs in quantum mechanics are pushing scientists closer to controlling phenomena once considered purely theoretical.As researchers overcome microscopic and technological challenges, these discoveries could reshape the future of ultrafast computing, secure communications, and quantum technologies. A glimpse into how fundamental physics is beginning to move toward real-world applications.This episode includes AI-generated content.

In this episode, Nathan Radke and Shelly are joined by Lee Kuhnle to discuss the last few months of 1983. Today you should celebrate Stanislav Petrov Day (September 26) and not participate in a nuclear simulation.

New results from CERN’s ALICE experiment are revealing how gluons behave inside atomic nuclei at extremely small scales.By studying J/ψ particles produced at high energies, researchers found evidence that challenges traditional models and points toward gluon saturation—a state where these particles become extraordinarily dense and interact collectively. The findings offer a new glimpse into the strong force and the hidden structure of visible matter.This episode includes AI-generated content.
