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

A mysterious ultra-high-energy photon from the brightest gamma-ray burst ever detected somehow survived a two-billion-light-year journey that standard physics says should have stopped it.Scientists propose that axion-like particles and a possible violation of Lorentz invariance could explain its unexpected survival and delayed arrival—potentially offering clues to new laws of quantum gravity.This episode includes AI-generated content.

Your "Inner Talk" is the hammer that breaks the chain. If your inner conversation is still one of "Shrinking," “Lack”, “I’m not good enough”, the outer world will mirror that limitation. The false life must collapse for the Authentic Self to be reborn. We must think differently to create different chemicals in the brain to change the old feeling to new feeling. If you allow yourself to be weak, then you have the strength to allow yourself to be strong. If you become sick, or poverty and misfo...

When Robbie Williams announced he had been diagnosed with scurvy earlier this year, Professor Clare Collins was relieved… why?! Because he was bringing attention to a major issue arising from the use of the popular class of weight loss medications, GLP-1s. Professor Collins joins me on Shirtloads to discuss how nutrient deficiencies have increased among those using these medications. Clare agrees that GLP-1 medications DO have an overall net positive effect as effective and beneficial medications,

I am tired of hearing quantum mechanics invoked in support of nonsense.You know the kind of thing.Quantum mechanics therefore crystal healing.Quantum mechanics therefore psychic powers.Quantum mechanics therefore homeopathic medicine.Quantum mechanics therefore universal consciousness.Quantum mechanics therefore manifestation.Quantum mechanics therefore reincarnation.Quantum mechanics therefore free will.It’s not just the crazies who do this. I hear otherwise highly intelligent, highly

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

For the first time, scientists have observed Einstein’s gravity acting on an object in a quantum state.By placing rubidium atoms in different paths, the experiment tested the equivalence principle at the quantum scale. The result offers a remarkable new connection between quantum mechanics and general relativity—and opens the door to even more extreme tests.This episode includes AI-generated content.

In this special edition of Emerging Tech Horizons, recorded live from the Emerging Technologies Conference in Washington, DC, Mark Lewis speaks with Frank Finelli, Senior Advisor at The Carlyle Group, about the role of capital markets in strengthening the U.S. defense industrial base.They discuss the challenges facing U.S. industrial capacity, mobilization, and vulnerable supply chains, including dependencies on critical minerals and other foreign sources. The conversation also explores how private

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.

Paranormal investigator Adam joins the show for a conversation that spans nearly every corner of the unexplained. From his earliest paranormal experience as a child to years spent investigating reportedly haunted locations across the southern United States, Adam shares the encounters that convinced him there's more to reality than we currently understand.We discuss strange footsteps heard inside historic locations, unexplained sensations during investigations, why respect matters when dealing with

We chat about the Nobel Prize in Physics in this podcast

What if tiny imperfections inside an ordinary diamond could become powerful quantum sensors?Scientists have coordinated around 10,000 nitrogen-vacancy centers to detect incredibly weak magnetic signals at room temperature. The technique could open new possibilities for studying biological systems and advanced materials at the nanoscale—without extreme cooling.This episode includes AI-generated content.

Each year, we invite the Cavendish Arts Science Fellow to join us for a conversation with one of the scientists whose ideas helped shape their time in Cambridge.Today’s episode is one of those conversations, and I’m delighted to welcome artist Thulani Rachia and planetary geoscientist Oliver – Oli - Shorttle to the studio.Thulani is the fifth Cavendish Arts Science Fellow. A South African artist working across moving image, performance, music composition and sculpture, he explores two closely

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

Building a stronger Defense Industrial Base is about more than adopting new technologies or changing acquisition policy. The processes organizations use to measure performance, manage risk, and continually improve their capabilities can play an important role in building a more productive, resilient, and innovative Defense Industrial Base.In this episode of Emerging Tech Horizons, host Dr. Arun Seraphin, Executive Director of NDIA’s Emerging Technologies Institute, speaks with Ron Lear, Vice

Hollow-core gas-filled optical fibers could provide a crucial bridge between different quantum technologies.By converting light between frequencies while preserving phase information, the approach could help connect quantum communications, memories, and sensors—bringing a unified quantum internet closer to reality.This episode includes AI-generated content.

Robotics and machine learning are opening new possibilities for protecting wildlife around the world

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...

We are mapping a cosmic bridge right through your biology and your reality. We are connecting the 3rd Dimension, the 3rd Chakra, and the missing 3rd strand of human DNA. Inside your physical form, right now, are dormant forces waiting to come alive. The energetic grid, and the spiritual framework of how these three elements lock us into a matrix—or become the exact key to breaking us out of it. We aren’t trying to escape the 3rd dimension; we are here to master it by activating th...

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
