A New Physics to Reunite Reality (Part 2/2)- James Ellias, DemystifySci #385
There is a quiet tremor beneath the floorboards of physics, a search for the hidden substance that carries every wave and whisper of the universe. We walk with James Ellias, @Inductica , through the fog of equations and theories, brushing his hands against the grain of the world, asking what material truth lies beneath our symbols. The conversation stirs old ghosts. Discarded mediums, forgotten experiments, the half-remembered language of matter trying to speak again. We reach for the slow turning toward something solid and ancient, the sense that reality still has a body awaiting embrace.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-here00:00 Go! 00:04:37 Central Equations in Physics00:08:20 The Importance of a Medium in Physics00:10:00 Empowerment Through Understanding Physics00:12:36 Rationality and Truth in Society00:16:31 Existence vs Consciousness00:20:30 Discussion on Existence and Consciousness00:24:25 Role of Imagination in Existence00:28:10 Properties and Entities in Physics00:30:15 The Nature of Aether and Physical Mediums00:36:08 Clarity and Understanding in Physics00:40:26 Discussion on Force and Aether00:44:57 Relationship of Entities and Actions00:49:30 Theoretical Framework for Aether00:58:04 Exploration of Aether Theories01:00:40 Importance of Conciseness in Communication01:02:00 Understanding Physics Before Proposing Hypotheses01:05:15 Reevaluation of Flawed Theories01:09:35 The Evolution of Key Physics Concepts01:15:19 Context-Specific Nature of Constants01:19:43 Historical Context in Physics01:21:36 The Nature of Electrons01:25:53 J.J.

Cosmology: The Good, Bad, & Ugly - Dr. C.S. Unnikrishnan, DemystiCon '25, DemystifySci #382
Dr. C.S. Unnikrishnan, a physics professor at the TATA Institute, critically examines the standard ΛCDM cosmological model. He discusses the robustness of observational facts like redshift and CMBR while highlighting challenges in validating cosmological theories. Unnikrishnan also critiques the assumptions of dark matter and dark energy, explores alternative models, and questions claims about cosmic expansion impacting only certain systems. He argues for a shift toward data-based refutation, suggesting that current models may need significant revision.

Why No One Understands Charge and Light (Part 1) - James Ellias, Inductica, DemystifySci #381
James Ellias, a mathematician and philosopher behind the Inductica YouTube channel, dives into the complexities of charge and light. He critiques modern scientific methods, advocating for a historical and philosophy-infused approach to uncovering truths hidden beneath equations. Ellias argues that understanding underlying mediators, like the ether, is essential for grasping phenomena such as electricity. He explores the implications of identifying entities in physics, challenging accepted theories, and re-evaluating foundational principles through inductive reasoning.

What if the CMB Isn't Actually Cosmic? - Dr. Patrick Vanraes, DemystifySci #380
Dr. Patrick Vanraes, a plasma physicist at the University of Antwerp, questions the traditional understanding of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), suggesting it may not be as 'cosmic' as we think. He discusses the historical context of the Big Bang theory and critiques the common interpretations of cosmic data. Joining him, Pierre-Marie Robitaille, an expert in thermal radiation, presents alternative explanations and the intriguing possibility that the CMB could originate from terrestrial sources like water and soot. Their conversation challenges mainstream cosmology.
