We're back to it!!! DemystiCon 2025 was a smashing success, and we're thrilled to share it with you. The first talk we're posting is by Gareth Samuel, host of See the Pattern. His videos explore the frontier models of physics, where they break, and what that means for our understanding of the universe. At this year’s DemystiCon, Samuel gave an incredible talk about “What Would it Take” to restructure our understanding of the Big Bang. Rather than assuming a gradualist approach, where the field slowly changes to accommodate a radically different perspective, Samuel suggests a radical revamp to the way we approach physics as a whole is necessary. Instead of assuming that data is some kind of impartial report about the universe, he suggests we have to reexamine the assumptions that are baked in to the process long before the telescope or detector ever get switched on.

When not talking to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time painting, reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Shilo also did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of molecular water. When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various universities.
