Gravitational Variation in the Speed of Light - Dr. Carver Mead, Caltech

Jun 15, 2023
01:19:54

Carver Mead is an emeritus professor of engineering and applied science at Caltech, where he has taught for more than thirty years. We talk to him about his work on simplifying the foundations of mathematical physics, his days as a pioneer in integrated circuit technology, incorrect interpretations of Gravity Probe B, and some proposed experiments for testing the coupling between gravitation, momentum, and the speed of light.

PODCAST INFO:  Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University. 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.
