Episode #63 - Newton's Ultimate Laws of Physics
Today we talk about the famous three laws of classical physics that were first written by Sir Isaac Newton himself. These laws ultimately shifted the world's perspective on how THINGS work. We now understand them as obvious, but obviously, they have not always been...

Episode #58 - Lower Dimensions
Today we talk about the fascinating properties of lower physical dimensions. The very first math topic that we covered here on the podcast was higher dimensions, and now we continue that discussion, but going the other way. There are great analogies that we can draw from lower dimensions that help us understand the workings of upper dimensions.

Episode #57 - The Search for Alien Life w/ Dr. Jill Tarter
Today we talk with the former director and co-founder of the SETI Institute. The institute pioneered the field of scientifically parsing through the universe in search of alien signatures in any shape or form, beyond a reasonable doubt. This was such an amazing talk about space and extraterrestrial life.

Episode #55 - The Integral
Today we talk about the famous long squiggly line that we see in calculus. This is a hard topic to explain if you don't already know a little bit about calculus already, so bear with us. Try to follow along and enjoy the episode :)
