The DemystifySci Podcast

Steve Bryant is an author, researcher and futurist who studies the innovative application of emerging technologies, who has long been curious about the gaps and inconsistencies of general relativity. Armed with Chat GPT with a Wolfram Alpha plugin, Bryant combed through Einstein’s papers, where he discovered key mathematical inconsistencies that invalidate the mathematical basis of Einstein’s most famous theorem. We discuss the simple mathematical proof for what Bryant has discovered, the difficulty of unseating beloved ideas, and what comes after relativity.

Albert Nerenberg is a Canadian independent filmmaker, actor, journalist, hypnotist, and laughologist. Our conversation explores the murky science of hypnotism, the role of fantasy in action, dreaming, and all things subconscious. Additionally, we bring in a hypnotic subject and watch as Albert guides him on an out of body experience.

Dr. Richard Lindzen is an American atmospheric physicist known for his work in the dynamics of the middle atmosphere, atmospheric tides, and ozone photochemistry. He served as the Gordon McKay Professor of Dynamic Meteorology at Harvard University and was appointed as the Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology at the MIT. Dr. Lindzen has disputed the scientific consensus on climate change and criticizes what he has called "climate alarmism". Rather than picking apart the arguments for or against said climate narratives, our conversation is largely focused on the question of what would motivate such alleged deception were it found to be the case.

Dr. Adam Mastroianni is a Harvard and Oxford educated psychologist who loves the idea of science, but not so much it's modern practice. After being told one too many times that his academic writing was "too fun" for academic journals, he decided to devote his time to what science should actually look like - which is passionate people being free to explore the ideas that keep them up at night. He writes prolifically about this at his Experimental History Substack, and on the podcast we talk about how peer review made everything fall apart, how all the bad papers in the world can't take down a single good idea, and the dream of buying a house in Boston and filling it with people who can spend all their free time thinking their way out of the box we're in.

Curtis Yarvin, blogger from the Dark Enlightenment movement, discusses the failure of democracy and the emergence of science as a tool of trust and power. They explore the degradation of democracy and the burden of proof in a simulation-like world. They also touch on topics like conspiracies, dissidence, parsing history, and the selection of a monarch.

Dr. Inna Vishik is a professor of Physics at UC Davis, where her lab studies the spectroscopic properties of exotic condensed matter. We dig down into how she sees the atomic landscapes she studies, the significance of mathematical descriptions that show up all over the place, harmonic oscillators at the scale of an electron, and why physics is perfectly happy to deal in abstractions, even when better models might be available.

Dr. Bruce Damer is an astrobiologist, computer scientist, and director of the BIOTA Institute at UC Santa Cruz with a compelling theory for the origin of life on Earth. Damer and his colleagues have proposed that life didn't begin at the bottom of the ocean, or at a hydrothermal vent, or in the irradiated clouds of the early Earth. They propose the formation of the earliest cells out in the open, at the margins of vernal hot spring pools filled with amino acids, minerals, and proto-nucleotides carried to Earth by a constant shower of organic-rich micrometeorites. We talk about the hardest questions on Earth, why hydrothermal vents are a dead end, why origin of life researchers don't throw hot coffee at each other any more, and how figuring out where we came from might let us keep going for long enough to reach the stars.

Sid Chhabra is a computer scientist and scholar of Vedic cosmology. His research has revealed startling quantitative similarities between the predictions of ancient works and modern mathematical physics. Fundamentally, however, Sid approaches cosmology as an integrative art that requires one to put themselves into a cosmic context on a daily basis. He argues that cosmology is a study rich with meaning for each person's journey through this world.

Bernie Taylor, Naturalist, Archaeoastronomer, and Author, discusses the mythological portrayals in rock art found across Europe and Africa. He explores the massive migrations of ancient humans and their cultural imprint through celestial maps of meaning. In the podcast, Taylor talks about the connection between animal migration patterns and solar and lunar cycles, the controversial discovery of Keniluk Man, the importance of passing on traditional knowledge, the influence of lunar cycles on migratory patterns, and the encoding of ancient myths with Native American astronomy. He also delves into animism and our worldview, the influence of the church on indigenous cultures, and an upcoming conference in Austin, Texas.
