Two математических Minds: Nash and Singh – The Brilliance and Madness

About the Release:

History has seen some of the greatest minds struggle with their own genius, often walking a fine line between brilliance and insanity. Two of the most fascinating mathematicians of the 20th century—Vashishtha Narayan Singh from India and John Forbes Nash Jr. from the U.S.—lived eerily similar yet vastly different lives.

Both were prodigies. Both made groundbreaking contributions to mathematics. And both battled schizophrenia, which cast a long shadow over their genius. But while Nash’s story became world-famous thanks to the movie A Beautiful Mind, Singh’s tale remains relatively unknown outside India.

The Nocebo & Placebo Effect: Science, Fear, and Chilling True Stories

About the Release:


Imagine you have a terrible headache. You take a pill, and within minutes, the pain starts fading away. But what if I told you that the pill contained nothing but sugar? This is the essence of the placebo effect—a phenomenon where a person experiences real changes in their body simply because they believe they are receiving a treatment.If belief can heal, it can also harm. This is called the nocebo effect—when expecting a negative outcome actually causes symptoms.

Why Do We Love Watching People Suffer in Soap Operas?

About the Release:

Alright, let’s be real. Soap operas and reality shows are basically emotional roller coasters where everyone is either crying, scheming, or discovering a long-lost evil twin. Yet, millions of people are obsessed. Why? What kind of twisted psychological need makes us enjoy watching fictional (or semi-fictional) people suffer daily?

Well, grab your popcorn (or tissues), because we’re about to dive into the strange but fascinating reasons why these shows keep us glued to our screens.

How Far Are the Stars? A Cosmic Road Trip

About the Release:Ever driven past a row of parked cars and noticed how the ones closest to you seem to zip by, while distant objects like mountains barely move? That’s not just a quirky visual trick—it’s a fundamental principle of perception called parallax. Astronomers use this exact concept to measure distances to stars, unlocking the secrets of the cosmos. But did you know that parallax isn’t just for astronomers? Our brains rely on it every single day. From depth perception to memory recall, parallax plays a bigger role in our lives than you might think.

Why Moms Lose More Sleep (and Dads Don’t Wake Up!)

About the Release:

Have you ever noticed how a man can snap awake at the faintest creak of a floorboard but remain blissfully unconscious while a baby wails like a fire alarm? If you’ve ever had to nudge your partner awake for baby duty—only to hear them mumble something unintelligible and roll over—you’re not alone.

But is this just an excuse, a clever biological loophole men have exploited for centuries? Or is there actual science behind it?

Spoiler: It’s both.

How a Man Defied Science by Living with 10% of His Brain

About the Release:

Imagine this: You wake up one morning, head to the doctor for something completely ordinary—maybe a minor ache, a bit of dizziness, or a weak leg. Nothing alarming. You expect to be sent home with some advice like "get more rest" or "drink more water."

But instead, your doctor takes one look at your brain scan and is utterly speechless. Because, as it turns out, you’ve been living your whole life with only 10% of your brain.

Yep, I’m making things easier for all of us—no need to scroll endlessly or squint at your screen. Now, you can tune in while driving, whipping up a meal, crunching numbers on spreadsheets, or just chilling. Multitaskers, this one’s for you!


And here’s the geeky cherry on top: this podcast is created with NoteBookLM—a little AI magic to turn my blogs into an audio experience. Honestly, it’s mostly for me, so I don’t have to read or revise my own posts anymore. Talk about saving time, right? But if you want to come along for the ride, hit play, and let’s explore everything from mind-bending inventions to the quirkiest tech marvels—without breaking a sweat (or your brain)!


So buckle up, grab your headphones, and let’s get weird (the tech kind of weird)!
