The world is currently closer to superpower conflict than at any time since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. World War III is a real possibility, and with 12,000 warheads in the arsenals of more than half a dozen countries, we are standing on a nuclear knife edge. Despite receiving very little attention, nuclear war is a far greater threat to humanity's immediate survival than climate change. While climate heating threatens humanity over many decades, nuclear war could destroy civilisation in just a few hours.

Are we alone in the universe, or is our reality just one of many? The concept of the multiverse has captured the imagination of scientists, philosophers, and the general public, inviting us to consider the possibility of parallel universes, each with its own unique set of physical laws and constants. The Multiverse: Twenty Theories on Multiple Realities and Parallel Universes explores the most compelling theories about the multiverse, taking readers on a journey through the mind-bending possibilities of multiple realities. From the well-established theories, like the Level I Multiverse, ...

In this book Dr. Richheimer describes an optimistic view of reality that he calls the spiritual worldview. This view challenges traditional materialism, which posits that physical matter is the fundamental reality. Instead, it suggests that consciousness is the fundamental and ubiquitous feature of reality. It requires us to fundamentally rethink both cosmology and physics and it explains the counterintuitive aspects of both quantum theory that says that we actively participate in the shaping of reality, and relativity theory that says that the flow of time is an illusion. It offers a ...

In dieser Folge widmen sich Franzi und Karl wieder dem Feedback zu den letzten Episoden. Sie tauchen zu Beginn in vermeintliche mediale Hype-Themen aus der Astronomie ein. Das betrifft die Suche nach einem bisher unentdeckten Planet 9 in unserem Sonnensystem sowie den Exoplaneten K2-18B, den manche Fachleute für eine Wasserwelt mit einer starken Biosignatur in seiner Atmosphäre halten während der allergrößte Anteil der Fachleute weiterhin sehr skeptisch ist. Franzi hat dazu 2024 bereits eine Folge beigesteuert (AG088) und ordnet die neuen Ergebnisse ein. Es geht noch einmal um Karls ...

Une chronique de Virginie Chaput (laboratoire ELICO).

Free space optical communication could offer high speed connectivity without the need of optical fibers. That's where groups like Akron come in. They are actively working to develop the next generation of light waves for free space optical communications. Using short coherence length optical sources, including ultrashort pulsed lasers, they believe they have found a way to overcome the hurdles holding these systems back from hitting the mainstream. On this episode, we are joined by Tom Chaffee, founder and CEO of Attochron, Jim Olson, senior VP of sales and marketing, and Wayne H. Knox, ...

In Episode 114 of Entangled Things, Patrick and Ciprian welcome back Yuval Boger, Chief Commercial Officer at QuEra, for a lively and insightful conversation on the fast-moving frontier of quantum computing. They dive into the latest from NVIDIA’s NVQAC event, the challenge and promise of quantum error correction, and QuEra’s impressive $230M fundraising milestone. Yuval shares updates on the scalability of quantum systems, power stability, and why we might see useful quantum applications within just a few years. Spoiler: lasers are involved—but sadly, still no lightsabers. Learn more:...

Hunger for Wholeness continues with the second part of Ilia Delio’s thought-provoking conversation with biophysicist, entrepreneur, and author Gregory Stock.In this episode, Ilia and Gregory explore how human motivations, ethics, and the evolving sense of personhood are deeply entangled with the rapid advancement of technology—and how technology, in turn, is reshaping who we are becoming.Together, they ask:Should our ethics guide the development of AI and technology—or is technology shaping our ethics?How is AI already transforming education and learning?What role does technology play in...

Mike and Chad are re-sharing this episode with Stephen Tufte, a physics professor from Lewis and Clark. He shared with us the science behind playing the mandolin and what makes it different from a guitar.

Vi siete mai chiesti se è venuto prima l'uovo o la gallina almeno una volta nella vita? In questo episodio Jack e Dani rispondono a questo quesito millenario che ancora non ha una risposta certa nel mondo scientifico. Naturalmente chiacchierando come al bar.

איך אומרים Arguably בעברית? בטח אפשר להתווכח על זה. המרואיין שלנו הפעם שותף לאחד המהלכים שהם Arguably הכי טובים שאינטל עשתה אי פעם. לפני כמעט 30 שנה חשבו באינטל לעבור מארכיטקטורת CISC לארכיטקטורת RISC. זה היה צעד מאוד ריסקי מצידם. למזלם המרואיין שלנו, פרופ׳ אורי וייזר, היה שם כדי להציל אותם מעצמם ולמנוע מהם להרוג את אווז הזהב. אורי הוא פרופסור ...

No one can be sure how this current trade war between the U.S. and China will end. But we’re feeling its impacts every day. While no person or business can escape the effects of this volatile market, semiconductor manufacturers have a unique challenge to deal with. Not only must they handle rising costs and taxes, but they also must figure out how to advance forward facing export restrictions from China. Rare earths vital in the production of semiconductors come primarily from China, but new controls will limit American companies’ access to those materials. In this Spotlight, we talk with ...
