The Science of Everything Podcast

Exploration of how the price system interacts with supply and demand to determine market prices efficiently. Discussion on scarcity as a core economic concern, market failures, and the role of prices in promoting efficiency. Delving into the impact of prices on resource allocation, competition among industries, and how prices convey essential economic information in a free market economy.

The podcast explores the chaotic inflation theory and its implications for understanding the origin of the universe, including the limitations of the Big Bang model. It discusses the concept of fields in physics, introduces the inflaton field, and explains how it initiates the Big Bang. The podcast also explores the existence of particles and fluctuations in empty space, the conservation of energy in the creation of universes, and the concept of a self-sustaining multiverse.

The podcast discusses the history and significance of cells, their sizes and shapes, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, and the structures found in cells. It explores the role of lipid molecules in forming the plasma membrane, the functions of proteins in the membrane and cytoskeleton, and the process of protein production. It also covers the functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, vesicles, and vacuoles in cells.

An introduction to the nature, phases, and atomic composition of matter, along with a look at elements, ions, isotopes and the periodic table. The episode concludes with an explanation of molecules, including covalent, ionic, and macromolecules.

An examination of the atom, beginning with the origin of the concept in ancient Greece, and its subsequent development as a truly scientific idea in the 19th century. I explain the various important contributions made to the field by Thomson, Rutherford, Planck, Einstein and de Broglie, and the resultant evolution of our models of the atom.

A look into the fascinating psychological phenomenon of the introspection illusion. We explore the research behind this phenomenon, and the many implications that it has for human behaviour, including such startling conclusions as people are much more biased, much less observant and much more malleable than they think.
