Gareth Samuel, host of the See the Pattern YouTube channel, dives into the realms of fringe physics like plasma cosmology and the electric universe. He discusses the challenges of displacing conventional theories like the Big Bang and the necessity for paradigm shifts in cosmological thought. The conversation touches on the impact of scientific funding on innovation, critiques around dark energy, and the complexities of quantum chemistry. Through it all, Gareth emphasizes the need for creativity and openness in scientific exploration, heralding a brighter future for alternative theories.

insights INSIGHT
Humans crave simplified narratives
Humans crave a simplified, linear narrative of reality, even if overly simplistic.
This inherent desire for simplification can hinder scientific progress by discouraging the exploration of complex or contradictory ideas.
insights INSIGHT
Patching vs. Progress
Modern science often prioritizes patching existing models over adopting new ones due to increased investment in current theories.
This approach can lead to complex patchwork models that hinder true progress.

Gareth Samuel is host of the @SeethePattern YouTube channel, where he explores theories of physics that have been neglected by the mainstream. He’s one of the speakers at our BEYOND THE BIG BANG meeting this summer in Sesimbra, Portugal, and joins us now for a conversation about what it’s going to take to unseat the Big Bang, why no one’s managed to do it yet, the incredible theories he’s uncovered from years of work in the fringe mines, from the electric universe to plasma cosmology to the structured atom model and much more.

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.
