The DemystifySci Podcast

Dennis McCarthy is a writer, historian, and independent researcher who, in the process of tracing Hamlet’s origin, ended up unwinding the entire legend of Shakespeare. Digging deeper into the history of Shakespeare's plays alongside collaborators June Schlueter and Michael Blanding, McCarthy uncovered evidence that all but two of Shakespeare’s plays were written by Sir Thomas North, an English translator, lawyers, and justice of the peace. We dig into the evidence for the overlap between the two figures, unpack the myth of the lone genius, and seek to understand how the origin of ideas is driven by the sum total of the biogeographic connections that impinge on a given time and place.  Support DemystifySci & Dennis McCarthy while getting learned: https://amzn.to/3xTPels Support the scientific revolution by joining our Patreon: https://bit.ly/3lcAasB Tell us what you think in the comments or on our Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub #genius #shakespeare #demystifysci                        (00:00) Go!

Dr. Marcello Canuto and Dr. Marc Zender, both esteemed professors at Tulane University, dive deep into the mysteries of the Mayan civilization. They explore how the cultural collapse of the Maya mirrors the bronze-age collapse, revealing insights from over 1,000 newly discovered settlements in Guatemala. The duo discusses the intricate challenges of reconstructing ancient histories, the impact of diseases on civilization, and the allure of ancient alien narratives. Their perspectives shed light on the complex social dynamics and governance patterns within Mayan society.

Steve Keen is an economist, critic, and author who believes our current economic theories fail to properly deal with private debt, the role of banks in money creation, and more generally fail to take into account real-world contradictions to theoretical predictions at the margins. We talk about the creation of money, deflationary crises, speculation vs innovation, how to distribute public vs private spheres, and his vision for the future of economics.  Support the scientific revolution by joining our Patreon: https://bit.ly/3lcAasB Support the podcast and Dr. Keen by buying one of his books on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3YZb2HJ Let us know what you think in the comments or on our Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub (00:00:00) Go!

Dr. John G. Williamson and Arnie Benn are core members of the Quantum Bicycle Society, a collaborative group scientists who aims to build better models for everything from quantum mechanics to the cosmos. Williamson began the project with his colleague Dr. Martin van der Mark after a disillusioning stint at CERN, where he was confronted by the massive discrepancies between experimental results and the predictions of quantum chromodynamics. We talk the nature of the electron, the ur-stuff from which everything is made, misconceptions about the proton, alternative explanations for cosmic microwave background radiation, and more.

Dr. Rupert Sheldrake believes that memory is inherent to nature, and has spent the last forty years of his career investigating slippery, esoteric phenomena at the very edges of empiricism. Some of the results are intriguing - dogs that know when their owners have started the long journey home, crosswords that become easier to solve a few days after they’ve been published in the papers, IQ scores increase generation after generation. His work is ongoing, the territory marginal, and the implications immense.  Support the scientific revolution by joining our Patreon: https://bit.ly/3lcAasB  Support us both when you pick up one of Rupert's books: https://amzn.to/3xdrRmo Let us know what you think in the comments or on our Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub (00:00:00) Go!
