Is the world around us real—or is it a construct, a mirage generated by a powerful and incomprehensibly advanced intelligence? This question, once confined to the pages of science fiction novels and speculative late-night discussions, has in recent years migrated into the heart of contemporary philosophical and scientific inquiry. The idea that our universe might be an elaborate simulation, running on an immense computational substrate, is no longer dismissed as a fringe hypothesis. Instead, it is now taken seriously by physicists, cosmologists, computer scientists, and philosophers alike.

The human brain is extremely complicated, but decades of careful neuroscientific research have revealed quite a bit about how it works, including how certain genes affect particular brain behaviors. Nevertheless, this progress has not led to quite as much improvement in the treatment of brain disorders as we might expect. I talk with neuroscientist Nicole Rust about why this is and how to improve the situation, as discussed in her new book Elusive Cures.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025/06/09/317-...

From the Atacama Desert at the foot of the revolutionary Vera C. Rubin Observatory, we explore the universe's greatest cosmic mystery: why most of reality has been playing hide-and-seek for 13.8 billion years. Tell us what you love, what you tolerate, and what our HR department should really stop doing—take our 2-minute listener survey: https://tally.so/r/nr1evM Join us as we present "The Upside-Down Observatory" - a tale of what happens when Quantum Improbability Solutions accidentally builds their new cosmic facility completely inverted, leading Brad from Sales to pitch it as the world's ...

When Neil Armstrong first set foot in the lunar dust, the Earth held its breath. That one small step forever changed our view of what was possible, sparking a dramatic expansion of humankind's cosmic awareness. When we gain a new perspective, a transformation begins, profoundly altering the understanding of the world our human experience had previously granted us.

At what point we should just admit defeat and give up on our search for dark matter? Should we be sending a lot of cheap space probes instead of a single expensive one?

Wisdom 2.0 founder Soren Gordhamer talks about bridging modern technology with ancient wisdom. He writes on the topic in his new book, "The Essential: Discovering What Really Matters in an Age of Distraction." Then, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Safa Kassab highlights a new augmented reality device that's making total knee replacements more precise and accurate.

Wie lernt eine Maschine, das Universum zu verstehen? In dieser Episode geht es um künstliche Intelligenz. Mit diesem Wort wird derzeit überall um sich geworfen. Aber was bedeutet "künstliche Intelligenz" eigentlich wirklich? Was ist Machine Learning und was sind neuronale Netze? Und was hat das alles mit Astronomie zu tun? Wir reisen von den Anfängen der künstlichen Intelligenz bis zu ihrem Einsatz in der modernen Astronomie. Mit dabei: Elkas digitaler Zwilling.

Die Fortsetzung der vorherigen Folge " Zauber der Tiefenpsychologie " mit Andreas Winter.

Welcome back to Impact Quantum, the podcast for the Quantum Curious! In this special recap episode, hosts Frank La Vigne and Candice Gillhoolley return from a brief, doctor-approved hiatus to take stock of the whirlwind developments in the quantum computing universe. From billion-dollar buyouts—like IONQ's acquisition of Oxford Ionics—to IBM’s bold promise of a large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer by 2029, the quantum ecosystem has never been more electrifying.Frank and Candice reflect on just how much the show—and the quantum landscape—has evolved, touching on everything ...

In this episode, we say goodbye to one of our beloved hosts, Sabrina Berger. We take a voyage through the depths and breadths of Sabrina’s research experience. Cole tells us how Sabrina investigates JWST’s ability to estimate the masses of galaxies through the glare of their quasars, and Lucia tells us how Sabrina used navigation satellites to calibrate radio telescopes. In between, we quiz Sabrina on her own ASB episodes and finish with Sabrina’s experience in 3 different countries and Sabrina’s advice for future grad students!

From glowing plastic stars on bedroom ceilings to quirky novelty items, most of us have encountered the magic of things that shine in the dark but what’s really behind the glow? Andrew and Taylor dive into the science of photoluminescence, breaking down the physics of how it works and the materials that make it possible. Join them as they explore the two main glow-in-the-dark methods—phosphorescence and fluorescence—and reveal what makes each one shine. This episode of the Materialism Podcast is sponsored by the American Ceramics Society. Check out the ACerS learning center with over 20+...

⏳Quantum Torah: Time's Flexibility in Jewish Law and Physics Rabbi Shlomo Ezagui's article, 'Quantum Torah: Time's Flexibility in Jewish Law and Physics,' explores the surprising parallels between ancient Jewish law and modern quantum mechanics, specifically concerning the concept of time's flexibility. The author highlights the Jewish legal principle of breira, or retroactive clarification, exemplified by the eruv techumin (a rabbinic mechanism allowing for extended travel on Shabbat). This legal concept suggests that a present need can retroactively determine a past intention, as if that ...

Quantum computing is advancing fast—and when it arrives, today’s encryption may fail. This practical guide by cybersecurity expert Taimur Ijlal helps you understand and prepare for the quantum threat before it hits.

Welcome to the God's Eye View Podcast, the companion podcast to my book, God's Eye View. My name is Trevor and I'm a clinical neuroscience researcher. At my day job, I focus on mainstream biomedical research, but in my spare time, I enjoy the science of conscioussness and exploring spiritual and even religious ideas. This is a sleepytime podcast, best enjoyed before bed. Enjoy the show, I hope you learn something. Check out our substack: hemisphericpress.substack.comBuy the book: https://a.co/d/gFSsufvTrevor

Nou ja zeg, wat is dat nou voor een titel voor een aflevering. Om die titel te begrijpen hebben we het in deze iets langere aflevering eerst over zogenaamde "getijdenvergrendeling", een fenomeen dat al wel eens vaker de revu passeerde in deze nimmer aflatende wekelijkse stroom astronomie-verhalen. Daarna zult u, als u nog niet bent afgehaakt, horen wat bliksem met dit alles te maken heeft. Kortom: tanden op elkaar... een nieuwe aflevering van Zimmerman en Space.Tidal locking:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_lockingLunar Mascon Evidence From Apollo Orbits:https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/...

In the last episode of Rays and Waves about linear optical quantum computers we discussed how using photons as qubits is good in many ways. However, the biggest hurdle is that photons don’t like interacting with each other, which makes the critical two-qubit gates difficult to create. But a 2001 discovery showed it was in fact possible to effectively make two-qubit interactions and therefore a full quantum computer solely with linear optical elements, single photon sources and detectors. This discovery catalysed a wealth of research into optical quantum computers which in aggregate has today...
