Simon Michaux is an associate professor at the Geological Survey of Finland who is obsessed with ensuring humanity survives the transition away from fossil fuels that he and many others see looming on the horizon. We’ve previously spoken with him about his “purple transition,” his thorium reactor, ammonia engine, and alternative battery chemistry vision for a resource balanced future (Ep 259) and about the inspiration he’s gleaned for his work from the Jacques Fresco and Venus Project (Ep 275). In this third installment, we dig into the details of Simon’s Prometheus Project, both in context of what kind of resources are necessary to build an ambitious demonstration city in a mineral rich region of the Peruvian desert, and in context of what kind of people he needs to make his plans become a reality. Can Simon succeed where so many others have failed?Sign up for our Patreon and get episodes early + join our weekly Patron Chat https://bit.ly/3lcAasBAND rock some Demystify Gear to spread the word: https://demystifysci.myspreadshop.com/OR do your Amazon shopping through this link: https://amzn.to/4g2cPVV(00:00) Go!

Rex Riepe is a philosopher who created the Eristics Test as a tool for helping people understand how they process emotions. In his view, emotions are a deeply rational aspect of our personalities that argue for us to take specific actions in three spheres - the self, the world, and society. We discuss the structure that he has developed for understanding the relationship between emotions, how he identified the fundamental building blocks of our interior landscapes, the way that different personalities fit together, and how unexamined emotional strategies can take on a life of their own.

Dr. Ruth Kastner is a historian of Physics and philosopher of Science who is preoccupied with rational interpretations of quantum mechanics. She serves as the third pole of the transactional quantum mechanics big tent where she, alongside John Cramer and Carver Mead, argue that the apparent mysteries of quantum mechanics can be rationalized by modeling everything from light to gravity as an exchange between atoms. Our conversation explores how she became enamored with this alternative approach to physics, the question of how accurate our models really are when it comes to the subatomic world, why the word "electron" is hopelessly confused, and why moving backwards in space and time aren't as different as they might seem at first glance.Sign up for our Patreon and get episodes early + join our weekly Patron Chat https://bit.ly/3lcAasBAND rock some Demystify Gear to spread the word: https://demystifysci.myspreadshop.com/OR do your Amazon shopping through this link: https://amzn.to/4g2cPVV(00:00:00) Go!(00:05:21) Evolution of Transactional Interpretations in Quantum Mechanics(00:07:12) Philosophical Motivations Behind Transactional Interpretations(00:23:26) Mechanistic vs. holistic views of nature(00:27:09) Quantum mechanics and mechanistic explanations(00:32:24) Wave functions and physical reality(00:46:14) Quantum Measurement and Macroscopic Objects(00:49:00) Electron Energy Eigenstates and Stability(00:55:44) Wave-Particle Duality and Transactional Interpretation(00:59:51) Quantum Measurement Problem and Direct Action Theory(01:00:46) Quantum Field Dynamics and Mutual Communication(01:08:30) Future Influence on Present Actions(01:11:03) Actualized vs. Possible Futures(01:14:19) Quantum Indeterminacy and Hidden Variables(01:21:56) Free Will and Determinism(01:31:15) Life as entropy and disorder(01:32:24) Consciousness and non-human life forms(01:39:21) Complexity in living systems(01:45:20) Challenges in quantum theory interpretations(01:53:30) Ontology and Space-Time Concept(01:55:07) Relativistic Quantum Direct Action Theory(02:00:47) Charge Interpretation and Field Source Dynamics#sciencepodcast, #longformpodcast, #QuantumMechanics #TransactionalInterpretation #PhilosophyOfScience #MechanisticVsHolistic #WaveFunctionReality #QuantumMeasurement #MacroscopicObjects #ElectronEnergy #WaveParticleDuality #DirectActionTheory #QuantumFieldDynamics #FutureInfluence #PossibleFutures #QuantumIndeterminacy #HiddenVariables #FreeWillVsDeterminism #LifeAndEntropy #ConsciousnessStudies #NonHumanLife #ComplexSystems #QuantumTheoryChallenges #Ontology #SpaceTime #RelativisticQuantum #ChargeDynamics #FieldSourceTheory #QuantumPhysics #QuantumPhilosophy #Determinism #QuantumFieldTheory #InterpretationOfQuantumTheory #WaveFunctionCheck our short-films channel, @DemystifySci: https://www.youtube.com/c/DemystifyingScience AND our material science investigations of atomics, @MaterialAtomics https://www.youtube.com/@MaterialAtomicsJoin our mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University.

We sit down for a discussion about the futility of rationalism, by way of William James' Varieties of Religious Experience. We start with the question of utopias, and try to diagnose why, if they're doomed to fail, it's still worth trying to create them, and then move on to the question of the scientific project - which seems to be an attempt to create a rationalist utopia. James' take on mystical experiences - that they're nearly universally accessible, though rarely long dwelt in - seems to suggest that there is something about the tremulous experience of being alive that will leave us with the feeling of being part of something larger than ourselves no matter how rational we get. So, then, if we can never escape the mystical experience, is it worth trying? And if it is, and we take the project of science to be worthwhile, where does the mystic live?

Dr. Dean Radin is an investigator of parapsychological phenomena whose career has spanned Bell Labs, Stanford Research Institute as part of the Stargate Project, Princeton, and who is now the Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences. Radin approaches his search for evidence of psychokinesis and extrasensory perception as an engineer, and has spent his career building devices that can be reproducibly (though subtly) affected by the minds of experimental subjects that have ranged from his colleagues at Bell Labs to thousands of participants from across the web. We talk about how the buttoned up engineer started studying such esoteric phenomena, working for the CIA, how there's no proof that can convince a skeptic, his recent research that suggests that mental action can affect the outcome of quantum experiments, and his radically transparent approach to research.

Kevin Fedarko is a writer, journalist and river guide explores the interface between wilderness and industrialization, most recently through the lens of the Grand Canyon. Fedarko recently published "A Walk In the Park," the story of his somewhat ill-conceived but ultimately successful quest to walk the trail-less expanse of desert wilderness that hides beneath the canyon's rims. We talk about the struggle to tell a story about the Colorado and the canyon that contains it that avoids the conventional morality tale of environment good, technology bad; the astonishing feat of engineering, unseen since the Great Pyramids that holds back Lake Powell; the punishment of untrailed nature; and the mythology of science, man as an island, and the wilderness as something we both crave and fear.Sign up for our Patreon and get episodes early + join our weekly Patron Chat https://bit.ly/3lcAasBAND rock some Demystify Gear to spread the word: https://demystifysci.myspreadshop.com/OR do your Amazon shopping through this link for Kevin Fedarko's book: https://amzn.to/4g2cPVV(00:00) Go!(00:06:42) The Process of Writing and Sharing(00:14:15) Parallels in Creative Industries(00:18:51) Interplay of Wilderness and Modernity(00:23:03) Natural vs. Industrial Forces(00:30:21) The 1983 Spillway Crisis (00:35:22) Contradictions of Nature and Technology(00:40:44) Stories Tell Themselves(00:47:00) How Humans Understand the World(00:50:12) Science and Storytelling Paradox(01:01:03) Challenges of Long-held Beliefs(01:09:57) River Dynamics and Geology(01:13:58) The Great Unconformity(01:19:11) Hiking the Grand Canyon(01:24:22) Trail Challenges(01:33:42) Navigating the Desert(01:40:05) No Trail is Walked Alone(01:42:07) Nature and Solitude(01:48:37) Deep Immersion#sciencepodcast, #longformpodcast, Check our short-films channel, @DemystifySci: https://www.youtube.com/c/DemystifyingScience AND our material science investigations of atomics, @MaterialAtomics https://www.youtube.com/@MaterialAtomicsJoin our mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University.

Christof Koch is a neuroscientist who studies consciousness, and is best known for integrated information theory. IIT is a consciousness-first theory, which states that the experience of being someone (or something) is directly related to the causal powers of the underlying system. Up until relatively recently, Koch was something of a materialist - he believed that it would be possible to find the specific series of neural events in the brain that produce lived experience. A series of events, which he details in his new book "The I Am Myself the World" have led him to embrace more of an idealist perspective, which says that we are instantiations of a a much larger universal consciousness that permeates the universe. We talk to him about his transformation, the nature of consciousness and will, what it "causal powers" of a system have to do with consciousness, and the value of mystical experiences.Sign up for our Patreon and get episodes early + join our weekly Patron Chat https://bit.ly/3lcAasBAND rock some Demystify Gear to spread the word: https://demystifysci.myspreadshop.com/OR do your Amazon shopping through this link for Dr. Koch's books: https://amzn.to/3Mleyrw(00:00) Go!(00:03:40) Consciousness and Clinical Practice(00:08:32) Practical Challenges and Developments(00:14:13) Ethical and Theoretical Considerations(00:17:43) Theories and Predictions in Neuroscience(00:21:08) Physics, Causality, and Consciousness(00:24:12) The Role of Physical Interpretation in Science and Technology(00:27:24) Exploration of Physical Theories in Science(00:29:03) The Intersection of Consciousness and Data Interpretation(00:33:35) Significance of Studying Consciousness(00:37:30) Understanding Consciousness through Neural Correlates(00:48:16) Evolutionary Complexity and Consciousness(00:54:04) Human Evolution and Desires(00:57:01) Idealism and Consciousness(01:02:23) Mystical Experiences and Consciousness(01:12:15) Near-Death Experiences and Psychedelics(01:14:29) Exploring 5-MeO-DMT Experiences(01:16:34) Idealism and Scientific Study(01:18:29) Universal Mind and Consciousness(01:21:30) Complexity and Consciousness(01:24:00) Split Brain and Consciousness Studies(01:27:53) Evolution and Self-Consciousness(01:31:48) Complexity of Consciousness Emergence(01:35:23) Integrated Information Theory and Consciousness(01:39:33) Impact of Substances on Microorganisms and Consciousness(01:44:26) Artificial Intelligence and the Possibility of Consciousness(01:51:05) Simulation vs. Reality in Causal Power(01:56:01) Importance of Hardware in Consciousness(02:01:15) Virtual Worlds and Reality(02:02:08) Consciousness and Computational Limitations(02:03:05) Scientific Rivalries and Theory Validation(02:06:05) The Intersection of Science and Philosophy(02:09:22) Science, Paradigms, and Metaphysical Assumptions(02:11:28) Science Evolution and Competing Theories(02:15:00) The Computational Universe and AI Perspectives(02:21:24) Metaphysical Reflections(02:23:47) Mystical Experience on the Beach(02:27:07) Nature's Influence(02:32:36) Flow States in Nature and Music(02:36:06) Limits of Scientific Understanding(02:41:00) Behind the Scenes and Future Endeavors#sciencepodcast, #longformpodcast, Check our short-films channel, @DemystifySci: https://www.youtube.com/c/DemystifyingScience AND our material science investigations of atomics, @MaterialAtomics https://www.youtube.com/@MaterialAtomicsJoin our mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S - Blog: http://DemystifySci.com/blog - RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rss- Donate: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaD- Swag: https://bit.ly/2PXdC2y

The Venus Project was started in the 1980s by Jacques Fresco and Roxanne Meadows with the aim of showing that it was possible to lead a more human centered existence… as long as you built outside of the capitalist market system. Over the decades, the fortunes of the project have fluctuated - from an initial burst of enthusiasm and action (Meadows and Fresco built almost all the structures on the property by hand themselves) to the grinding reality of what it means to grow a stable and vibrant community, to the immense surge of popularity just as Fresco’s life came to an end. Project members Roxanne Meadows and Nate Dwindiddie come by the show with previous guest Simon Michaux to talk about the failures and successes of the project, and what it might look like when its reborn as the framework for Michaux’s Prometheus Project.

Dr Luca Turin is a biophysicist, writer, and perfume connoisseur whose work on fragrances seems to suggest that we don’t smell molecules, per se - we smell the complex vibrations of an atomic structure. Turin came to be convinced of this model for olfaction at the expense of the standard model of receptors binding smell molecules just on the basis of their shape due to a prediction he made about the smell of sulfur. If the pungent odor of rotten eggs and brimstone was due to the vibrational frequency of the sulfur atom attached to the molecule, then any other atom with a similar vibrational frequency, no matter its shape, should also smell of sulfur. He found a compatible molecule in an unexpected place, and the rest fell into place. We talk about his nascent passion for perfumes, why people are so reluctant to smell things, and the overlap between smell, resonance, and consciousness.

Today we're examining the impact of bureaucracy and financialization on modern society through the lens of David Graeber's "Utopia of Rules," with reference to another of his works, "Bullshit Jobs." We explore how these forces shape political ideologies, wealth extraction, and everyday life. Starting with the alienation caused by bureaucratic systems, the discussion moves through the fusion of finance and bureaucracy, which influences both worker-corporate relationships and democratic processes. Then we look into the global justice movement's exposure of systemic violence and the role of technology in societal challenges as a potential model for criticism. We also address the perception of value shaped by financial abstractions, the issues within the retirement system, and the personal reassessment prompted by psychedelics. The podcast concludes with a discussion on the potential of worker ownership and the importance of societal renewal through new linguistic templates to combat institutional stagnation.

Today we're looking at how atoms talk to one another using light. This transactional interpretation of quantum mechanics, was developed by today's guest, Dr. John Cramer and former guest, Dr. Carver Mead back in the 1980s. We cover key concepts such as the double atom, handshake process, and the roles of Schrödinger and Heisenberg's approaches. The conversation explores wave function collapse, non-locality, and advanced potentials, along with the influence of ghost waves, time reversal, and phase relationships in energy transactions. We then examine the evolution of quantum mechanics interpretations, the intersection of physics and philosophy, and critiques of string theory. The episode concludes with insights into cosmology, the uniqueness of life, anti-aging research, and the development and material interpretations of the transactional interpretation.Tell us your thoughts in the comments!Sign up for our Patreon and get episodes early + join our weekly Patron Chat https://bit.ly/3lcAasBAND rock some Demystify Gear to spread the word: https://demystifysci.myspreadshop.com/OR support us when you do your Amazon shopping through this link for Dr. Cramer's books:https://amzn.to/4dAmwss(00:00:00) Go!!(00:03:26) Transactional Interpretation and Double Atom Concept(00:06:26) Handshake Process and Quantum Mechanics(00:09:21) Quantum Process and Mathematical Representation(00:15:09) Schrödinger vs. Heisenberg Approaches(00:24:39) Understanding Wave Function Collapse in Quantum Mechanics(00:27:12) Overcoming Non-locality with Advanced Potentials(00:30:13) The Role of Beats in Quantum Transactions(00:33:07) Exploring Time Reversal and Phase Relationships(00:37:02) Ghost Waves and Their Influence(00:41:10) Phase Relationships and Energy Transactions(00:47:37) Universe and Transactional Exchange(01:36:50) Physics Fashion Changes and String Theory Critique(01:42:00) Quantum Mechanics Interpretations and Philosophy Intersection(01:47:40) Standard Models and Cosmology Theories(01:53:10) Life's Randomness and Cosmological Uniqueness(01:57:03) Aging, Anti-Aging Research, and Mitochondrial Treatments(02:24:03) Origin and Development of the Transactional Interpretation(02:26:48) Collaboration with Carver Mead(02:30:01) Advancing the Interpretation with Criticism#sciencepodcast, #longformpodcast, #QuantumMechanics, #PhysicsPodcast, #TransactionalInterpretation, #WaveFunctionCollapse, #Schrödinger, #Heisenberg, #QuantumTheory, #Cosmology, #StringTheory, #QuantumPhysics, #TimeReversal, #NonLocality, #QuantumInterpretation, #CarverMead, #MitochondrialResearch, #AntiAgingScience, #EnergyTransactions, #QuantumPhilosophy, #CosmologicalTheories, #QuantumBeatsCheck our short-films channel, @DemystifySci: https://www.youtube.com/c/DemystifyingScience AND our material science investigations of atomics, @MaterialAtomics https://www.youtube.com/@MaterialAtomicsJoin our mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University.

Dr. Emily Casanova is a professor of Neuroscience and Psychology at Loyola University in New Orleans who studies autism, human/neanderthal hybridization, and sundry soft tissue disorders that are often co-inherited with autism. Her research has shown that autism spectrum disorders are underpinned by a complex network of genetic interactions whose first emergence can be traced back to human/neanderthal interbreeding nearly 40,000 years ago. This suggests that, contrary to popular belief, the grounds for autism spectrum disorders long predate the first diagnoses made in the early 20th century. We talk about why it’s so hard to come up with a genetic cause for autism, why “species” might not mean what we think it does, intricacies of embryogenesis, and why environmental causes are so hard to talk about.

Dr. Yeva Nersisyan is a professor of economics at Franklin and Marshall College whose research focus includes Modern Monetary Theory, Post-Keynesianism, and the Institutionalist traditions. She has published widely on the subject of banking and financial instability, which is why we invited her on to talk about how the economy *actually* works. MMT theorists argue that Neo-classical economists have a deeply limited understanding of the economy, as demonstrated by the Fed’s recent inability to control inflation by adjusting interest rates - which is basically the only lever available to it. We discuss how it seems that no one who is sitting at the top of the economic pyramid seems to understand how to shift the course of the economy, how providing jobs is the key to stability, the emergence of modern economic policy in the post-war years, and much more.

Dr. Tom Cheetham is a naturalist, poet, and author who has spent the last few decades of his life engrossed in the work of Henry Corbin, who inspired a century of studies of the unconscious mind. Corbin’s aim was to understand the line that cut across the mystic traditions of the world, in the hopes of finding something that was the universal ground of being. To that end, he searched for answers in the work of everyone from Continental philosophers, to the medieval gnostics, to the Persian mystics and honed in on something he called the “imaginal realm,” inhabited by angels who guide their human charges towards a life of meaning and profundity. We talk with Cheetham about the nature of inspiration, the universal ground of experience, the search for truth, and the visionary power of psychedelic experiencesSign up for our Patreon and get episodes early + join our weekly Patron Chat https://bit.ly/3lcAasBAND rock some Demystify Gear to spread the word: https://demystifysci.myspreadshop.com/Check out(00:00) Go!(00:08:46) Cheetham's road to Corbin(00:13:17) Eranos conferences(00:22:21) Poetry as undefinable revelations(00:38:20) Interpretation of visions(00:58:24) Needing a handbook for visions(01:06:37) Escaping death(01:15:26) True open-mindedness can be dangerous(01:26:28) Need to plant cap T truth flags(01:31:28) Conquest & western psychology(01:42:19) UFO hits the NYTimes & opens up esotericism(01:52:30) Abductees & Mack(02:08:16) Psychdelic breaks & burden of the self(02:32:44) Wave equation for a symphony(02:47:45) Search for shared reality#sciencepodcast, #longformpodcast, #HenriCorbin, #ComparativeReligion, #Mysticism, #Gnosticism, #Hermeneutics, #Psychedelics, #Consciousness, #PhilosophyOfMind, #SpiritualityAndScience, #ImaginationAndReality, #ModernMysticism, #AngelologyAndUFOs, #JungianPsychology, #PoeticBasisOfMind, #ExploringConsciousnessCheck our short-films channel, @DemystifySci: https://www.youtube.com/c/DemystifyingScience AND our material science investigations of atomics, @MaterialAtomics https://www.youtube.com/@MaterialAtomicsJoin our mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University.

Dr. Jeremi Suri is a professor of Public Affairs and History at the University of Texas, Austin whose recent work explores the idea that the American civil war never ended. Suri argues that the surrender at Appomattox Courthouse at the end of the Civil War was just a superficial conclusion of outright hostilities, not a true end to the massive division that ran across America during colonial times. Our conversation with Suri centers around the question of where these divisions come from, what has entrenched them, why the same social rifts are opening not just in America, but all around the world. Most importantly, we wrestle with what can be done about a seeping wound of discontent that refuses to heal.Sign up for our Patreon and get episodes early + join our weekly Patron Chat https://bit.ly/3lcAasBAND rock some Demystify Gear to spread the word: https://demystifysci.myspreadshop.com/Read Jeremi's Books and Fund DemystifySci: https://amzn.to/4dhjidg(00:00) Go!(00:05:22) Low points in history (other than now)(00:09:45) Bring back the CCC!(00:11:28) Civil unrest in the US(00:15:40) Racial divide at the core of the US(00:22:00) A revolutionary's lifestyle(00:26:29) 2nd order messes(00:31:03) Does the president matter that much?(00:37:37) Solution set for systematic inequality(00:49:11) Order v. chaos in society(00:56:16) Post civil war wounds(01:06:25) Anxiety below racism(01:19:08) Journalism was never clean truth(01:33:19) Reality v. internet universe(01:48:53) Moving away from home v. adaptation to the new world(02:01:21) Every kid to college?(02:15:04) Economics & extremism(02:19:32) Is this actually a democracy???(02:26:07) Tech politics#sciencepodcast #longformpodcast #AmericanHistory, #CivilWar, #Democracy, #PoliticalUnrest, #SocialChange, #HistoricalPerspective, #AmericanMobility, #CivilRights, #PoliticalPolarization, #HistoricalCycles, #SocialJustice, #AmericanIdentity, #PoliticalReform, #HistoricalContext, #DemocraticEvolutionCheck our short-films channel, @DemystifySci: https://www.youtube.com/c/DemystifyingScience AND our material science investigations of atomics, @MaterialAtomics https://www.youtube.com/@MaterialAtomicsJoin our mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University.

The last few weeks we've had some really explosive theories on the show, which have caused a stir in the comments and beyond. We sit down to talk about the philosophy behind why we believe exploring far out theories is so important, and use Paul Feyerabend's Against Method as the backbone for our discussion. We introduce the idea of scientific anarchy, which encourages us to lean into the uncomfortable reality that ideas cannot be prized simply because of their age, or their apparent agreement with existing data. The history of science is littered with theories that were wrong but useful, detectors that are engineered to give us the results we are expecting, and the weighty knowledge that the absence of evidence tells us nothing about what we'll find when we take a closer look at the inner workings of nature.

He's written a number of books on the subject of environmental toxins and disease, which include radical revisions to the story of polio and autism. In this conversation we explore his somewhat radical perspective - that the vast majority of disease, if not all disease, is the result of industrial pollutants getting into our bodies and wreaking havoc.

Prof. Gabriele Carcassi is a University of Michigan Physicists who became obsessed with a simple question during his training. Where do the mathematics of physics actually come from? They are handed down to us as students as if they were immutable laws of nature… but are they? Or are they simply mathematical transformations that have long ago left the realm of reality and made their home in the spheres of theory? It turns out that we really don’t know where the line between pure theory and physical reality can be drawn! Luckily, Carcassi and his research partner Prof. Christine Aidala have dedicated their time to deciphering what they call the “Assumptions of Physics,” a project which they hope will let them take apart the basic principles of the foundational science and put the whole thing back together again in a way that makes much more sense.

Simon Shack is an amateur astronomer, independent researcher, and author. He is the modern champion of an old idea, last held in Tycho Brahe’s time, that the sun is not at the center of the solar system. At first blush, this sounds preposterous, for we have hundreds of years of data that supports the heliocentric Copernican model. But the more you listen, the more your mind melts, because not only does the data fit… it seems to fit better than the conventional model in multiple cases. We spend the conversation unpacking Simon’s model, figuring out what makes it run, the assumptions that make sense, and the loose threads that still need to be woven in. It is a WILD ride, and a truly great exploration of what it means when the same set of observations can produce a radically different interpretation. To follow along visually, check out https://www.tychos.space/ where you can find a copy of Simon’s book and the Tychosium, a stellarium-type simulator built to show the inner workings of the model.

Today's episode features Jason Padgett, a physicist and artist whose path to a mathematical conception of reality began with a violent attack in his early 30s. We discuss this transformation after brain injury. How with zero mathematical background he found himself reinventing calculus. We discuss his attempts to bring himself into line with peers who had a very different formal training. Then we discuss his particular theoretical projects in physics. In particular he has developed a theory of informational constants of nature, which he calls holographic quantum information theory in an effort to unify quantum mechanics and Einsteinian relativity. To make sense of that we unpack concepts like cubits, hidden information, and quantum vector spin models. We close with a discussion of probabilistic reality and the nature of material reality versus mathematical models.Sign up for our Patreon and get episodes early + join our weekly Patron Chat https://bit.ly/3lcAasBAND rock some Demystify Gear to spread the word!https://demystifysci.myspreadshop.com/Jason's latest AI conversation about his model: https://chatgpt.com/share/a32bc04b-b811-408f-9ea1-6489c23c55ebJason's artwork: https://jason-padgett.pixels.com/00:00 Go!00:05:59 Ideas in different languages00:10:58 Before the attack00:14:25 The attack00:27:00 My mind starts changing overnight00:35:52 Reinventing calculus with no formal training00:49:05 Savantism00:57:56 Informational constant of nature01:02:33 Cubits?01:06:56 Hidden information between Planck times01:14:03 Reconciling probabilistic reality01:21:32 Everything is light, QS vectors01:26:15 Quantum Vector Spin models Einstein's time dilation01:37:37 Material reality v. math01:59:58 Hawking radiation02:08:48 Translation through free education02:17:36 Using AI to translate your math into words02:25:51 Eternal recurrence#sciencepodcast #longformpodcast #PhysicsInjuryRecovery, #MathematicalSavant, #QuantumTheory, #BrainInjurySurvivor, #MathematicalGenius, #ArtisticTransformation, #NeuroscienceDiscovery, #SavantSyndrome, #BrainInjuryRecovery, #MathematicalInsights, #QuantumPhysics, #GeniusAfterInjury, #PhysicistStory, #NeuroscienceResearch, #MathematicalIntuition, #QuantumMechanics, #BrainDamageRecovery, #SavantAbilities, #MathematicalDiscovery, #QuantumMind.Check our short-films channel, @DemystifySci: https://www.youtube.com/c/DemystifyingScience AND our material science investigations of atomics, @MaterialAtomics https://www.youtube.com/@MaterialAtomicsJoin our mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University.
