Nassim Haramein, a mathematical physicist and director of the International Space Federation, dives deep into the quest for unifying quantum mechanics and general relativity. He introduces a bathtub vortex analogy to illustrate how these two domains must coalesce. Haramein discusses zero-point energy and its role in sustaining oscillators, revealing how it ties into the dynamics of spacetime. He critiques standard models of physics, presents innovative thoughts on proton structure, and shares visions on harnessing vacuum energy for future technologies.

Filmed at DemystiCon 2025 in Portugal, Dr. C.S. Unnikrishnan, from India's Tata Institute, reveals a very different take on the nature of light. Beyond the noise of headlines and textbooks, the speed of light's measurement isn't proving to be so simple. Drawing on years at the heart of experiments that listen for the universe’s faintest signals, he questions whether the speed of light is truly constant. Here, gravity and clocks intertwine, and relativity itself stands on uncertain ground.

In this engaging discussion, Dr. Hans Schantz, a theoretical physicist turned engineer specializing in electromagnetism, reveals the intricate relationship between antennas and light. He dives into the forgotten roles of mediators in electromagnetism and explores historical shifts from ether theories to relativity. Delving into the evolution of physics, he highlights key figures like Faraday and Einstein, while connecting innovative antenna designs with quantum mechanics. This enlightening conversation uncovers the exciting interplay between theoretical concepts and practical applications in modern technology.

Dr. Patrick Vanraes, a plasma scientist from the University of Antwerp, pushes the boundaries of modern cosmology. He proposes a revolutionary view of the Sun as a layered liquid structure capable of cold fusion. Delving into fusion mechanisms, he discusses how lattice imperfections might enhance cold fusion at lower temperatures. Patrick also challenges the accepted nature of the Cosmic Microwave Background, suggesting it might be a local artifact rather than a remnant of the Big Bang, urging a reevaluation of our cosmic understanding.

Dr. Rick Doblin, the President of MAPS, dives into the transformative potential of psychedelics for healing and cultural change. He discusses how substances like MDMA can help overcome emotional barriers in fields such as physics and politics, sparking innovative ideas. The conversation touches on the social impact of trauma, the role of community in healing, and the need to challenge ingrained beliefs. Doblin also emphasizes the importance of openness and collective action in creating a compassionate and interconnected society.

What if one of modern cosmology’s greatest triumphs was built on a false story? In this talk from DemystiCon: Beyond the Big Bang, physicist and historian of science Dr. Andre Koch Torres Assis digs deep into the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the so-called “fingerprint” of the Big Bang, and uncovers a history that challenges the dominant narrative. Contrary to popular belief, George Gamow and the Big Bang camp never predicted the CMB’s 2.7K temperature. In fact, their estimates were off by nearly an order of magnitude. Meanwhile, steady-state cosmologists consistently predicted the correct background temperature of space long before the CMB was discovered by Penzias and Wilson. The difference was that instead of searching for the birth of the universe, they were simply calculating the temperature of cold, rocky bodies absorbing and remitting distant starlight. Assis weaves together redshift anomalies, missing histories of radioastronomy, and overlooked insights from pioneers like Finlay Freundlich to show how a false myth of prediction has been used to cement the Big Bang as fact, rather than leaving open the possibility of the CMB being the signal of an eternal universe.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showMUSICCheck out our band's new album:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-hereVinyl pre-orders available now: https://buy.stripe.com/14A5kC3Od5d21Ms7zPdEs09ANDRE'S EARLIER APPEARANCES ON THE PODCAST:DemystifySci #328 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upV3ZfCEISADemystifySci #233 https://youtu.be/kGHNKORQZK8DemystifySci #204 https://youtu.be/VGql2qiRjkYANDRE'S WEBSITE: https://www.ifi.unicamp.br/~assis00:00 Go! 00:06:06 Predictions of Cosmic Background Radiation 00:12:30 The Role of Stefan-Boltzmann Law 00:18:44 Cosmic Rays and Intergalactic Space 00:24:12 Red Shift and Its Implications 00:32:22 Observations of the Sun's Red Shift 00:36:04 Freundlich's Groundbreaking Insights 00:39:08 Connection to Radio Astronomy 00:40:58 Conclusion on Cosmic Background Radiation #cosmology, #astrophysics, #spacefacts , #quantumphysics, #physics, #darkmatter, #cosmicmicrowavebackground, #spaceexploration , #spacetime, #astronomy, #relativity , #philosophypodcast , #sciencepodcast, #longformpodcast ABOUT US: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University.

Bob Greenyer is a leading voice in low-energy nuclear reactions and steward of the Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project. He shares insights on the quest for sustainable fusion energy using simple materials, revealing the historical connections between ancient alchemy and modern science. The discussion covers intriguing concepts like excess heat generation in hydrogen-metal interactions, the mystery of ball lightning, and innovative energy solutions that challenge conventional paradigms. Listeners are invited to engage with this vibrant scientific community and explore the future of energy.

What if inertia isn't a built-in property of matter? What if it’s an interaction with the fabric of the universe itself? So says Physicist Dr. Mike McCulloch of the University of Plymouth, whose Quantized Inertia theory is a radical challenge to our understanding of motion, mass, and the very structure of the cosmos. In this talk at DemystiCon ’25, McCulloch blends the Casimir effect, Unruh radiation, and boundary conditions of the universe, to propose a framework that explains galaxy rotation without dark matter and hints at the future of propellant-less space travel. He walks us through the theory, experiments, and upcoming satellite tests that could rewrite the rules of cosmology and propulsion.From historical roots in Newton and Galileo to zero-point energy warp drives, this talk is a glimpse at what physics might look like after dark matter… and after rockets.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Go!
