Patrick Vanraes

In this conversation, Dr. Patrick Vanraes, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Antwerp, challenges the conventional understanding of plasma. He argues that plasma isn’t merely a fourth state of matter but a latent property of matter itself. Vanraes explores its complexities, tying plasma behavior to cosmic phenomena and technology. He also discusses the philosophical implications of defining particles as information bundles, shaking the foundations of traditional physics perspectives.
