The DemystifySci Podcast

Adam Forrest Kay, author of 'Escape From Shadow Physics', explores the paradoxes of quantum mechanics through the lens of hydrodynamic quantum analogs. He argues that classical systems may challenge our understanding of quantum intuition. The conversation dives into the mechanics of droplets bouncing on surfaces and their surprising similarities to quantum behavior. Kay also discusses the historical shift from aether theories to modern physics, shedding light on the skepticism and philosophical debates that have shaped scientific thought.

Dr. Thomas Seyfried, a Boston College professor, dives into revolutionary cancer treatment ideas. He argues that cancer should be viewed as a metabolic disorder rather than purely genetic. Seyfried reveals how a ketogenic diet and glutamine inhibitors can extend survival in glioblastoma patients from 12-15 months to an astonishing 84 months. He candidly critiques the failures of conventional treatments and highlights the role of mitochondria in cancer metabolism, advocating for a significant shift in our approach to cancer care.

In this engaging discussion, Dr. Anne Hofmeister, an applied physicist and theorist at Washington University, explores groundbreaking ideas in astrophysics and Earth science. She challenges traditional concepts surrounding dark matter and the behavior of galaxies and rethinks plate tectonics through a new lens. The conversation also dives into the structure of the sun, introducing intriguing theories about its liquid model. Hofmeister’s insights encourage listeners to reconsider complex scientific paradigms and the interconnectedness of celestial dynamics.

He has recently been looking into a topic that’s dear to our hearts - the role that Chrstianity played in the social evolution of human society for the last two thousand years. Morgan proposes that the Bible goes far beyond the creation of the believer vs nonbeliever - it actually establishes a metaphysical frame for everything that follows, wherein the foundational premise of the death and resurrection of the Crucifixion is intended to be literally *beyond belief.* We explore the social features that are required downstream of this central premise, and how the world we inhabit today is shaped by principles established in a wildly different age.

Today, we primarily occupy ourselves with alternative explanations to the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation. Many listeners will be familiar with Pierre Marie Robitaille’s theory that the CMB is produced due to the hydrogen bond lattice of the oceans. Here, Assis lays out a different theory - championed by at least four Nobel Laureates - that the CMB isn’t the afterglow of the Big Bang - it’s simply the temperature at which the cold, dark objects of space are equilibrated against the background light of the stars.

Dr. Jack Bagby, a philosophy and consciousness expert, dives into Henri Bergson's revolutionary ideas. He discusses how context shapes our understanding of music and reality, illustrating this with unconventional musical instruments and tuning methods. The conversation touches on the deep connections between creativity, consciousness, and human experience, emphasizing the limitations of scientific measurements in grasping sensations. Additionally, Bagby critiques artificial intelligence and explores resonance theory, revealing the profound impact of music on perception and emotional experiences.

In addition to being a crack engineer, Keller is also deeply curious about the inner workings of nature on all scales, and is the patron for our upcoming Beyond the Big Bang meeting in Portugal. Keller is a big proponent of what philosopher Paul Feyerabend called “scientific anarchy,” where progress requires us to abandon a prescriptive approach to what counts as “science,” because many contradictory theories can be “true” at once. We build on our previous conversation about the nature of institutions to unpack why the Big Bang is about to fall apart, what it takes to build a new theory, and how to create a lasting impact without striving explicitly for immortality.
