Exploring theoretical physics, consciousness, Ai, and God in a technically rigorous manner.

My name's Curt Jaimungal, a Torontonian with a degree in mathematical physics from the University of Toronto and I analyze various Theories of Everything from this analytic perspective, though more and more opening up to alternative approaches. The separating factor of TOE from other podcasts is its focus on depth even at the risk of limiting the audience due to how much detail we delve into subjects. Paralleling the intensity found in academic discourse, we're increasingly embracing a spectrum of unconventional ideas to conduct research during this podcast, rather than merely conveying existing information.

Chris Gammell and Dave Jones' voices span the chasm of thousands of miles each and every week to speak to each other and industry experts about where the field of electronics is moving. Whether it be a late breaking story about a large semiconductor manufacturer, a new piece of must-have test equipment or just talking through recent issues with their circuit designs, Chris and Dave try to make electronics more accessible for the listeners. Most importantly, they try and make the field of electronics more fun. Guests range from advanced hobbyists working on exciting new projects up through C-level executives at a variety of relevant and innovative companies. Tune in to learn more about electronics and then join the conversation! Visit The Amp Hour website for our back catalog of 150+ episodes.

Your host, Sebastian Hassinger, interviews brilliant research scientists, software developers, engineers and others actively exploring the possibilities of our new quantum era. We will cover topics in quantum computing, networking and sensing, focusing on hardware, algorithms and general theory. The show aims for accessibility - Sebastian is not a physicist - and we'll try to provide context for the terminology and glimpses at the fascinating history of this new field as it evolves in real time.

D. Carlero et al, ACS Nano 2024, 18, 30, 19518–19527Researchers from Kanazawa University's NanoLSI, IMDEA Nanoscience, and CNB-CSIC studied influenza A replication using high-speed atomic force microscopy. They observed that recombinant ribonucleoprotein complexes (rRNPs) can undergo multiple transcription cycles, with RNA structure stability influencing synthesis rates. Their findings offer new insights into viral replication mechanisms and RNA synthesis regulation, opening doors for further...

It is a massive effort to rewrite a national fire safety code around measurable risk, explicit targets, and cost-effectiveness. But sometimes, there are great reasons to do so. In this episode, together with Gianluca De Sanctis and Sofia Kourgiantaki we take you inside Switzerland’s sweeping reform, where a new federal law sets a maximum individual risk for life safety, ties property protection to a clear marginal cost rule, and harmonises practice across cantons. Together, we trace how the f...

Delve into the mesmerizing realm of Einstein's groundbreaking theory of Relativity, articulated by the genius himself. Both the Special and General facets of relativity unveil the intricate fabric of spacetime and proffer a sophisticated theory of gravitation. These pioneering theories, with their avant-garde implications, jolted the scientific community, leading to the radical dissolution of the concept of absolute time. In this tome, Einstein endeavors to distill his profound comprehension of this vast subject into an accessible format for the intellectually curious, yet non-mathematical audience. To echo Einstein's own words: "This volume seeks to offer a meticulous insight into the theory of Relativity for those who, from a holistic scientific and philosophical perspective, harbor an intrigue for the theory, yet remain unacquainted with the mathematical intricacies of theoretical physics." While the text may pose challenges, with tenacious engagement, it emerges as one of the most lucid and enlightening expositions on Relativity available.

A Little Light Listening is a podcast by IPIC and is funded by Taighde Éireann – Research Ireland, formerly Science Foundation Ireland.

What would it take to turn an entire planet into a factory, a farm, or a fortress? In this episode, Jacob and Lucas explore the concept of dedicated planets—worlds that serve a single purpose within a vast interstellar civilization. From the toxic, molten surfaces of forge worlds that produce endless streams of metal, to the idyllic agri worlds that feed billions, we examine how these ideas from Star Wars, Warhammer 40K, and classic sci-fi might hold up under the laws of physics. Could Mercur...

This is your informal guide to the subatomic ecosystem we’re all immersed in. In this series, we explore the taxa of particle species and how they interact with one another. Our aim is give us all a better foundation for understanding our place in the universe. The guide starts with a host of different particle species. We’ll talk about their masses, charges and interactions with other particles. We’ll talk about how they are created, how they decay, and what other particles they might be made of.
