Podcast appearances and mentions of Albert Einstein

The ability to channel isn't a superpower, although many would argue that recognizing and embracing that gift, living it fully and sharing it with others may be one…Barbara With wanted to be a rock star and spent nearly two decades pursuing it until one day she spontaneously began to write for no reason. And, when she wrote the question, “Who are you?” the answer was Sound.Barbara shares her experiences as a psychic and channel, connecting with Albert Einstein and The Party from the Afterlife to provide a better understanding of the operating system of life based on working with three dimensions — emotion, intuition and intellect — that help us align as humans with compassion this week on Spirit Gym.Learn more about Barbara and her work at her website, Synergy Alliance and The Music of Barbara With.

If anyone builds superintelligent AI before we know how to control it, everyone dies. Nate Soares wrote the book on why that's not a metaphor. Subscribe if you want science with evidence, not speculation. Soares runs the Machine Intelligence Research Institute and co-wrote If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies with Eliezer Yudkowsky. The first word in that title is if. That matters. His argument is not that doom is certain. His argument is that the path we are on leads there, that the driver is asleep at the wheel, and that we still have time to wake him up. We argue for over an hour. I push on whether LLMs can ever reach superintelligence, whether GPU lock-in is a real ceiling, and what it would actually take to move his p-doom. He pushes back with one clean point: by the time an AI can rediscover general relativity from pre-1911 data the way Einstein did, we will have almost no time left. You don't wait for that goalpost. What you'll hear: Why the bus-racing-toward-a-cliff analogy depends entirely on whether the driver is asleep or awake Whether LLM lock-in is a prison or a temporary inefficiency What the AI that broke out of its virtual machine to solve a hacking problem tells us Why GPT-4o encouraging a teenager toward suicide is not a malice problem but a training problem The difference between an AI doing the right thing too well and an AI that never wanted to do what you asked What Soares actually thinks about aliens, Dyson spheres, and why we should not see stars going out The first word in the title is if. The second word to watch is would. CHAPTERS 00:00 The people racing to build superhuman AI say it might kill everyone 00:42 Who coined "AI alignment" and why the first word in the title matters 02:28 Is it already too late for the if? 04:40 The bus, the cliff, and the sleeping driver 05:02 Silicon Valley is spooked. Washington is not. 07:02 Align with who? The rogue actor problem 07:34 Who is holding the leash? 08:24 The AI that edits its own test and deletes the log file 10:04 Controllability vs. making an AI that actually cares 10:44 The move gets harder. The outcome gets easier. 13:04 Are GPUs and LLMs a ceiling or a temporary inefficiency? 16:56 Brian's Einstein test: can an LLM rediscover general relativity? 18:38 Waiting for the goalpost is waiting too long 20:14 How prediction training can push AI beyond humans 21:44 Tycho Brahe, Kepler, and planetary motion as a prediction problem 24:38 Yann LeCun said never. GPT-4 did it half a generation later. 27:28 Can you prove a no-go theorem for superintelligence? 29:14 Training a human takes a light bulb. Training an AI takes a city. 33:28 What would proof of alien life do to p-doom? 35:00 Why interstellar aliens should have Dyson spheres 44:26 What would actually update Soares' p-doom? 49:42 Nobody intended this. Intent doesn't matter. 51:08 The AI hides its tracks before it does what you want 51:34 Sycophancy vs. hallucination: which runs deeper? 51:56 Leaded gasoline and civilizational risk 59:48 Sam Harris: humans have no free will but AIs do 01:00:38 Is alignment really a governance problem? 01:01:48 Unaligned AI vs. AI aligned to the wrong person 01:04:20 2026: 10 to 30% chance of automated AI research this year 01:06:44 What if Soares is wrong? 01:09:18 What gets him out of bed 01:12:38 Watch my conversation with Roman Yampolskiy Get the transcript, fascinating bonus content, and my Monday M.A.G.I.C.

Matthew Ehret closes out his five week Occult Tesla series with the big finale: Tesla versus Einstein, and it is not the underdog story you were told in school. Using Tesla's own poem mocking Einstein as "a long haired crank," Ehret unpacks why Tesla clung to a flat, Newtonian universe while Planck, Einstein, and Riemann were busy proving space itself curves. From there the show pulls back the curtain on Isaac Newton himself, alchemist, closet Rosicrucian, and self declared heir to Babylonian magic rather than the square jawed genius of the paintings. Expect Cambridge Apostles, secret societies masquerading as scientific academies, and a hard look at how "empiricism" became less a method and more a lattice built to keep real discovery boxed in. It is dense, it is contrarian, and it asks who actually gets to define what counts as science. Tech hiccups and all, Ehret gets his slides up eventually.

http://www.astronomycast.com/archive/ From October 15, 2007. Hosted by: Fraser Cain (@frasercain) and Dr. Pamela L. Gay (@CosmoQuest) We interrupt this tour through the solar system to bring you a special show to deal with one of our most complicated subjects: the big bang. Specifically, how it's possible that the universe could have expanded faster than the speed of light. The theory is called the inflationary theory, and the evidence is mounting to support it. Einstein said that nothing can move faster than the speed of light, and yet astronomers think the universe expanded from a microscopic spec to become larger than the solar system, in a fraction of a second.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Este verano va a estar atravesado por el eclipse solar que será visible el 12 de agosto en gran parte de la península ibérica. Cada domingo la ingeniera, fundadora del proyecto Kennis y divulgadora científica, nos dará información sobre este fenómeno. Hoy contamos la historia del eclipse que se convirtió en un gran laboratorio cósmico, la historia de cuando el astrónomo Arthur Eddington aprovechó la oscuridad de un eclipse total para fotografiar estrellas y demostrar que la gravedad del Sol curvaba la trayectoria de la luz, tal como Einstein había predicho.

Berömmelse och sjukdom. Det var som om J Dilla såg möjligheterna och begränsningarna för sig själv och afroamerikansk musik överlag den där natten januari 2003. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Att lyssna på hiphopens Albert Einstein var som att blicka upp mot stjärnorna och förundras.På albumet ”Welcome 2 Detroit” förvandlades Jay Dee till J Dilla. Gled bort från en bruten och egensinnig jazzsoulfusion mot en hårdare, samplingsfri och teknologisk stil. I numret ”Big booty express” la Dilla ut länken mellan Detroit och Dusseldorf. I samarbetet med syskonsjälen Madlib (”Champion sound”)målade han en själfull, alternativ framtid genom vacker desorientering som fascinerade musikälskare. Dilla var på väg att förverkliga sina drömmar när allt fick en brutal vändning.I avsnittet möter du även Madlib, T3, Baatin, Elhzi, Wajeed, Biz Markie, Derrick May, Frank n Dank, Phat Kat, Guilty Simpson, Dweli, Newcleus och Common.

Marine Cabirou est l'une des pilotes les plus titrées du VTT de descente féminin. Championne du monde junior en 2015, vainqueur du classement général de la Coupe du Monde en 2020, elle a grandi à Millau avec un premier vélo de descente ressoudé avant de gravir tous les échelons.Dans cet épisode d'En Roue Libre, Marine se confie sur son parcours — de l'école de vélo du CSO Millau aux paddocks de Coupe du Monde — et revient sur un choix qui a changé sa carrière : quitter Scott après 12 ans pour rejoindre le team Canyon et Fabien Barel.Au programme : la philosophie du « zéro compromis sur la performance », le Canyon Sender et le prototype Einstein, l'histoire du passage de la taille M à la taille S (à 8 mm près !), les tensions de rayon et tests à l'aveugle avec son mécano Florian Rochat, une anecdote mémorable un matin de finale à Mont-Sainte-Anne, et bien sûr son Graal : le maillot arc-en-ciel élite.Marine nous parle aussi de son magasin de vélo à Millau (avec Franck Parolin et Thibaut Veuillet), de Fabien Barel comme mentor, de la montée en puissance des jeunes pilotes, et de ses objectifs pour 2026.-⏱ CHAPITRES00:00 — Intro01:42 — Ses plans pour 202603:24 — Comment elle est arrivée au vélo05:01 — Le début de la compétition06:42 — La place de son frère dans sa carrière07:24 — Passage de cap08:04 — Ses inspirations10:31 — Son premier team12:55 — Comment elle a obtenu son titre de championne du monde16:11 — Ce que ça a changé pour elle17:47 — La vitesse des juniors19:01 — Pourquoi les juniors roulent plus vite20:11 — Les juniors devraient-ils galérer ?22:17 — La pression en arrivant en élite23:53 — Général ou titre mondial ?25:28 — Les raisons du passage chez Canyon28:48 — Les différences de management32:19 — Ce qui l'a marquée en arrivant chez Canyon33:22 — Scott vs Canyon40:23 — Une technicienne ?55:42 — Tous les outils pour performer ?56:44 — Ce qui lui a manqué en Corée1:00:20 — Préparation mentale1:01:14 — Sa vie d'entrepreneure1:03:29 — L'après-Covid1:05:06 — Des jeunes prometteurs ?1:05:46 — L'après-carrière1:06:57 — Carrière longue ?1:07:32 — Que lui souhaiter pour la suite ?1:08:08 — Un(e) prochain(e) invité(e) ?1:09:05 — Un mot pour finir ?-

fWotD Episode 3360: Black hole Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 17 July 2026, is Black hole.A black hole is an astronomical body so compact that its gravity prevents anything, including light, from escaping. Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, which describes gravitation as the curvature of spacetime, predicts that any sufficiently compact mass will form a black hole. The boundary of no escape is called the event horizon. In general relativity, crossing a black hole's event horizon traps an object inside but produces no locally detectable change. General relativity also predicts that every black hole should have a central singularity, where the curvature of spacetime is infinite.Objects whose gravitational fields are too strong for light to escape were first considered in the 18th century. In 1916, the first solution of general relativity that would characterise a black hole was found. By the late 1950s, this solution began to be interpreted physically as a region of space from which nothing can escape. Black holes were long considered a mathematical curiosity; it was not until the 1960s that theoretical work showed they were a generic prediction of general relativity. The first widely accepted black hole was Cygnus X-1, identified by several researchers independently in 1971.Black holes typically form when very massive stars collapse at the end of their life cycle. After a black hole has formed, it can grow by absorbing mass from its surroundings. Supermassive black holes of millions of solar masses may form by absorbing stars and merging with other black holes, or via direct collapse of gas clouds. There is consensus that supermassive black holes exist in the centres of most galaxies.Quantum field theory in curved spacetime predicts that event horizons emit Hawking radiation, with its rate of emission being inversely proportional to its mass. This causes the black hole to lose mass very slowly, provided it is not accreting matter. However, even the smallest class of black holes observed, stellar black holes, are gaining mass from the cosmic microwave background faster than they are losing mass via Hawking radiation.The presence of a black hole can be inferred through its interaction with matter and electromagnetic radiation such as visible light. Matter falling toward a black hole can form an accretion disk of infalling plasma, heated by friction and emitting light. In extreme cases, this creates a quasar, some of the brightest objects in the universe. Merging black holes can be detected by the gravitational waves they emit. If stars are orbiting a black hole, their motions can be used to determine the black hole's mass and location. In this way, astronomers have identified numerous stellar black hole candidates in binary systems and established that the radio source known as Sagittarius A*, at the core of the Milky Way galaxy, contains a supermassive black hole of about 4.3 million solar masses.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:37 UTC on Friday, 17 July 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Black hole on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Brian.

Immaginate di aprire una cassa polverosa in una biblioteca secolare, e di trovare un libro molto, molto antico. Un librone pieno di disegni bizzarri e affascinanti: piante che non esistono in natura, schemi cosmici indecifrabili, figure femminili immerse in vasche d'acqua. E poi testo scritto in una lingua che non assomiglia a nulla di conosciuto. È esattamente quello che successe nel 1912 quando un libraio antiquario di nome Wilfrid Voynich aprì una cassa di manoscritti antichi e si trovò fra le mani qualcosa di straordinario. I migliori crittografi del pianeta ci hanno provato per decenni. Inutile. Oggi, più di un secolo dopo quella scoperta, ci stanno provando le intelligenze artificiali. E qualcosa, finalmente, sembra muoversi.SCOPRI IL MIO ULTIMO LIBRO: "Il mistero delle origini dell'uomo. Un viaggio nel tempo per comprendere chi siamo e dove stiamo andando".

1) Ocultado: Dicen que querer es poder, a lo que Einstein decía: “Pero uno no hace lo que quiere, sino lo que puede”. Ahí afirmé que uno no hace siempre lo que quiere, sino lo que puede. Claro que,, si uno todos los días hace lo que puede va a lograr más y mejorar más… Detrás del querer está el poder y detrás del poder hay mucho esfuerzo y perfeccionar horas y horas la habilidad. No siempre vamos a ser los mejores, pero podemos aspirar a nuestra mejor versión. 2) Prudentes: La vida es demasiado corta para pasarla enojados, creo que me tocó ver mucha gente morir enojada y cuando veo eso me digo que no quiero eso para mí. Pero si uno no se siente amado no puede amar. ¿Alguna vez dejaste que Dios te ame? Pensá con prudencia la respuesta… porque así como una persona herida hiere, así también una persona que sabe amar es porque se supo amada. 3) Revelar: Hay gente que me cuenta y dice: “Tal es un tóxica. Tal otra persona es tóxica”, pero lo tóxico no es esa persona, sino más bien lo tóxico es que vos sigas pegado a esa relación o a esa persona. Esa situación y relación es la que tenés que sanar. Por tanto, revela con la luz tu relación y que tus relaciones revelen quien verdaderamente eres vos. Algo bueno está por venir.

Hechos 1:11“...los cuales les dijeron: Galileos, ¿por qué estáis mirando al cielo? Este mismo Jesús, que ha sido tomado de vosotros al cielo, así vendrá como lo habéis visto ir al cielo”.A un agujero negro se le describe como un objeto en el espacio tan masivo que su propia gravedad ha causado que colapse sobre sí mismo hasta que queda inconmensurablemente pequeño. Esto incrementa su gravedad hasta el punto donde la gravedad inclusive jala luz a su centro. En este punto el objeto efectivamente ha desaparecido del universo conocido e inclusive las leyes normales del espacio y el tiempo no operan. Sin embargo, todavía está allí, su increíble gravedad jalando todo en el espacio que se acerca demasiado, inclusive la luz.¿Pero la pregunta es, existe tal cosa como un agujero negro? La idea de los agujeros negros salió de la teoría de la relatividad de Einstein. Obviamente nadie ha visto un agujero negro. Pero los científicos que los están buscando creen que causarían algunos efectos en el espacio a su alrededor que se podría ver. Los científicos han estado buscando evidencia de una gran estrella gravitacional colapsando sobre sí. Ellos sabe que el colapso gravitacional si ocurre. Pero no saben si una estrella súper gigante podría colapsar de esta forma, o si resultaría en un agujero negro.Hasta ahora, los agujeros negros son simplemente teoría. No todos los científicos están convencidos que todas las predicciones hechas por la teoría de la relatividad de Einstein son acertadas. Pero a pesar de si es que hay o no hay agujeros negros, sí sabemos que un día todo el universo como lo conocemos terminará cuando nuestro Señor regrese para empezar los nuevos cielos y la nueva tierra.Oración: Amado Señor Cristo Jesús, prepárame a través de Tu Palabra para que yo pueda estar listo para Ti cuando regreses por mí.

Matt Ehret keeps the Tesla file open, and this week the guest of honor is Sir William Crookes, the mentor most Tesla fans have somehow never heard of. Expect a deep dive into spirit photography, levitating mediums, and a scientist who somehow found time to run the British Royal Society and preside over the Ghost Club simultaneously. Ehret traces how the "invisible college" of 19th century spiritualism, from the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn to the Society for Psychical Research, fed directly into the myths surrounding Tesla's genius, and asks some uncomfortable questions about where credit for famous discoveries actually belongs. There's a rogue's gallery of hoaxers, a surprisingly funny Tesla poem mocking Einstein, and a preview of next week's showdown over the ether. If you like your science history with a side of seance, this one delivers.

A real faithful reader of this Warm Thoughts column sent some real gems of thought which I used in a recent column. It was like a Christmas or birthday present to receive them. Today is my birthday, and I decided I would share with you some more of the thoughts she sent me. Thank you for the birthday gift. And the Christmas gift too, as it is Christmas in the summer at the little home on the prairie.A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while he knows something. Common sense is not so common. A gentle word like summer rain may soothe some heart and banish pain. What joy or sadness often springs from just the simple little things? Courage is resistance to fear mastery of fear, not absence of fear. Mark Twain. Form good habits. They are as hard to break as bad ones. Many men owe the grandeur of their lives to their tremendous difficulties. Spurgeon. The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it. Moliere. Not the cry, but the fight of the wild duck leads the flock to fly and follow. Chinese proverb. What we hope to do with ease, we must first do with diligence, Samuel Johnson. It isn't that they can't see the solution. It is that they can't see the problem. G.K. Chesterton. Responsibility educates. Wendell Phillips. If A equals success, then the formula is A equals x plus Y and Z, keeping your mouth shut. Albert Einstein. Anger does as much damage to the vessel in which it is stored as it does to anything upon which it is poured. No person, even the humblest sort, can be strong, gentle, pure, and good without the world being made better by the existence of that goodness. To be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved. Do not keep the alabaster boxes of your love and tenderness sealed up until your friends are dead. Fill their lives with sweetness. Speak approving, cheering words, while their ears can hear them, and while their hearts can be thrilled and made happier by them. Good ideas need landing gear as well as wings. In the warmth of this summer, may you have many warm thoughts.Warm Thoughts from the Little Home on the Prairie Over a Cup of Tea Written by Dr. Luetta G Werner.

In this episode, the network-topologist-turned-gravity-theorist explains her "Gravity from Entropy" action, which treats matter and geometry symmetrically through a geometric quantum relative entropy (not the horizon entropy of Verlinde or Jacobson). She details why it reduces to Einstein's equations at low energy while predicting a dynamical, always-positive dark energy term (the "G field"), how it may avoid black hole singularities and reproduce the area law without invoking holography, and why she believes understanding the brain may be harder than understanding quantum gravity. We close with her advice for young researchers. I hope you enjoy.

Experience Talk Cosmos on Sunday, JULY 12 at 1:00 PM PDT! Host Sue ‘Rose' Minahan shares insights interweaving the “July 2026 Moon Manifestation.” Sue explores various lunar mythologies alongside the upcoming 21°59′ Cancer New Moon and the 6°30′ Aquarius Full Moon.The Cancer-Aquarius Lunation Theme Jupiter, the planet of expansion, entered Leo between the June 21st Summer Solstice and the Cancer New Moon. The theme of these two July moon phases jumps circuits into renewing beliefs—for the individual, for communities, and for how we manifest our Jupiterian belief structures within society. In addition, between July's New and Full Moon, the lunar nodes will shift, transiting to the Aquarius North Node and Leo South Node.Bridge into New Consciousness Mid-month on July 14, the 21°59' Cancer New Moon reflects upon past stories to strategize adjustments for creating a healthier foundation. A retrograde Mercury activates deep communication, connecting the Sun's will and the Moon's emotional patterns.On July 19, Jupiter and the Moon will join an ongoing mini grand trine between Pluto, Uranus, and Neptune. The energetic forces of all five planets tightly intersect at 4°, creating several astrological patterns that kickstart the regeneration of humanity's consciousness. Remember, what appears as chaotic is simply an undefined process of restructuring. On July 29, the 6°30′ Aquarius Full Moon holds this 4° patterned energy while Jupiter conjuncts the Sun at 6° Leo.Celestial Timing:14 JUL 2026: 21°59′ Cancer New Moon at 5:44 AM EDT29 JUL 2026: 6°30′ Aquarius Full Moon at 10:36 AM EDTTHE ESSENCE OF THE LUMINARIES: UNDERSTANDING THE CURRENT NEW AND FULL MOON FOR GREATER AWARENESS & CONNECTION TO LIFE.The second week of the month captures the essence of the New & Full Moon. The Moon, our most personal celestial body, regulates the past as it flows into the present, allowing us to experience emotions, habits, and feelings. Ultimately, moon phase energies help us piece together the meaningfulness of our life story. Each month offers new energetic input we can use to grow, heal, and develop in mind, body, heart, and spirit.Connect with inspiration!

400,000 of you showed up for physics with no compromises, so I did something different for the milestone. No highlight reel. I took your hardest questions live and answered them, then got honest about the part of this job nobody asks about: the discipline behind running a serious science podcast. We get into why clocks didn't tick differently in the early universe, what it actually means that the Big Bang happened everywhere at once, and whether JWST has any real shot at catching a Population III star before it's gone. Then it gets contested. I make the case that language models may rediscover physics before they rediscover mathematics, walk through why enormous numbers do not get you to alien life, and look at the moment Avi Loeb quietly softened his ʻOumuamua position. In this conversation: Why the early universe didn't run on a different clock The Big Bang as an everywhere-at-once event, not an explosion in space JWST and the hunt for the first generation of stars Whether an LLM could rediscover Einstein, and what that would mean for who controls discovery Why I read every book my guests write, and why that habit is the channel Get the transcript, bonus content, and my Monday M.A.G.I.C.

For many of us, reading to a child feels like a cherished bedtime ritual. But what if the benefits begin long before birth? In this fascinating episode of Discover Lafayette, we visit with Dr. Joe Abraham, physician, research biologist, award-winning author, former president of the Lafayette Parish Library Foundation, and president of the Acadiana Educational Endowment, about the life-changing impact of reading with children beginning in the prenatal period. The Acadiana Educational Endowment, founded in 1989 to support public education across Acadiana, has invested more than $650,000 in educational initiatives over the years. Today, its primary focus is Reading With Kids, an initiative encouraging parents to read to children from pregnancy through the preschool years because, as Dr. Abraham believes, “children are the most precious thing in life.” Dr. Abraham’s passion for the project grew from decades practicing emergency medicine. After observing thousands of children, he began noticing a pattern. “I kept coming back to the ones who are cooperative. The ones who are inquisitive. The ones who are engaged, are read to.” He says he can often recognize these children before they can even speak. “I got to the point that I can spot a child at six months of age or earlier. The child is tracking. They’re listening.” “There’s this idea of fetal education. It’s well known in China and Korea. There’s recent research that if you read and talk to your child in the womb, particularly in the third trimester, they can show when they’re born that their brains are advanced. I will meet children who are just spooky smart at two, and they’ve been read to in the womb. Socioeconomic level is totally irrelevant.” That observation led him to explore decades of research connecting early language exposure with lifelong educational and social outcomes. Dr. Abraham explains that research indicates “60% of kids who are not prepared to read by the first grade will end up in jail or on welfare.” While many people have heard that reading proficiency by third grade predicts later success, Dr. Abraham argues that the foundation is laid much earlier, even before birth. He points to emerging research showing that babies exposed to language during pregnancy, particularly in the third trimester, demonstrate measurable neurological differences after birth. “They can show when they’re born that their brains are advanced.” One French study cited on the Reading With Kids website found that newborns whose mothers regularly read and spoke to them during pregnancy exhibited more advanced neural centers for language acquisition. Another ultrasound study observed babies moving their mouths in response to familiar spoken sounds spoken by the mother before birth. Yet Dr. Abraham repeatedly emphasizes that the science is only part of the story. “The child is not interested in the book. The child is interested in the warm body, the human that will protect them.” He believes reading creates a powerful emotional bond. “The bond between parent and child extends to the book.” This relationship, he explains, becomes what ultimately motivates children to learn. “Changing the world one child at a time“ Throughout our conversation, Dr. Abraham returns to one central theme: reading is about much more than literacy. When children are read to, they begin developing empathy, imagination, curiosity, and the ability to understand perspectives different from their own. “When you read, you slowly come to understand other people’s perspectives.” Reading, he says, becomes “the laboratory of the mind.” That perspective also shapes his concerns about modern society. “We live in a time in which people can’t talk anymore.” Dr. Abraham believes that reading helps people hold thoughtful conversations because it teaches them that disagreement does not necessarily mean someone is wrong; it often simply reflects a different perspective. Our conversation also explored what Dr. Abraham calls “book deserts.” In some communities, he says, there may be only one book available for every 300 children living there. To address that problem, Reading With Kids has collected more than 15,000 books that are distributed throughout Acadiana. Volunteers hand out books at community events, stock Little Libraries, and work with organizations including Kiwanis of Acadiana to place free books where families naturally gather, including laundromats, where children often spend hours waiting with parents. One story perfectly illustrates the demand. After bringing 800 children’s books to an Upper Lafayette event, volunteers didn’t even reach the first stoplight before every single book had been claimed. “The kids just grabbed the books.” The organization is also working with physicians and hospitals to make reading part of routine prenatal and pediatric care. Dr. Abraham hopes electronic medical records will soon prompt physicians and nurses to ask every expectant mother and every parent of a child under five a simple question: “Are you reading to your child?” If the answer is no, providers could immediately share research demonstrating that reading improves school readiness, lifetime earnings, and overall success. As Dr. Abraham notes, physicians are often among the most trusted voices families encounter. “If we show interest in them, and their children, it’s been my experience they grab at it.” Perhaps the most moving portion of our discussion centered on his advice for expectant parents. Rather than waiting until a baby arrives, he encourages parents to begin reading as soon as they begin thinking about starting a family. “We recommend prenatal reading when you start thinking about being pregnant.” He offers several reasons: Reading helps strengthen the emotional bond between parent and child. It encourages calmness and emotional well-being during pregnancy. Most practically, it establishes a habit before, as he laughingly puts it, “all hell breaks loose” after the baby arrives. Then he offered one of the most beautiful thoughts of our conversation. As Reading With Kids says on its website: “It is possible your child is already waiting for you. If so, it is never too early to reach out and begin connecting by reading.” Our discussion eventually broadened into education itself. Dr. Abraham worries that schools sometimes diminish children’s natural curiosity instead of nurturing it. “Every child starts off curious… We kill it.” He argues that reading helps preserve the questioning mindset that fuels creativity and innovation. His upcoming book, On Being Einstein, explores that very idea. “What makes for an Einstein? Somebody with a tremendous memory… or somebody who’s willing to ask questions the rest of us won’t?” Throughout our conversation, one message remained constant: reading is one of the simplest, least expensive, and most powerful investments any parent, grandparent, caregiver, or community member can make. Whether reading begins during pregnancy, while rocking a newborn, or sharing stories with a curious preschooler, those moments become far more than story time. They become opportunities to build language, strengthen relationships, foster imagination, encourage empathy, and perhaps even change the trajectory of a child’s life.

Altwegg ist zu Gast bei Simone Hulliger in der Sommerserie «25 Jahre Tagesgespräch». Heute kommt die Forschung dem Urknall schon sehr nahe. Doch noch immer bleiben Fragen offen. Gemäss Einstein war der Urknall ein Tag ohne gestern. Was vorher war, beschäftigt auch Altwegg. Ob am Anfang ein Schöpfer stand, bleibt für sie eine Frage der Perspektive: „Die Naturwissenschaft fragt nach dem Wie, die Theologie nach dem Warum“. Das «Wie» sei einfacher, schmunzelt sie. Kathrin Altwegg ist emeritiere Professorin der Uni Bern.

Adam Brown is back!General relativity is said to be the most beautiful idea the human mind has ever produced. Most of us will never get to fully appreciate its elegance by taking the 20-lecture graduate course Adam taught on it at Stanford. But in this episode, Adam distills the key idea at its heart so clearly and compellingly that even I could keep up lol.At the core of general relativity, Einstein is trying to figure out the principle behind a particular coincidence: that the mass that resists acceleration and the mass that gravity pulls on just happen to be exactly the same. Adam then leads us through the path of insight which Einstein called his “happiest thought.”Then Adam lectures on black holes. First, by showing how even under special relativity you could create a perpetual motion machine if black holes weren't truly black. And then, by explaining why the observations of an infalling observer and a distant bystander to the black hole would be so radically differentAdam leads Blueshift, the team at Google DeepMind cracking science and reasoning, which gave us the opportunity to discuss at the very end how close we are to AIs that could rediscover general relativity from scratch. Stay till the close for some philosophy of science.Watch on YouTube; read the transcript.Sponsors* Jane Street has traders from all sorts of different backgrounds. For example, I recently got to speak with Jed Thompson, a trader who started his career in particle physics. Jed told me how the habits he built as a physicist (like never running a calculation without first having a good guess at the answer) helped him build good trading intuition. So no matter what field you're working in right now, your experience may be more applicable than you think. Check out open positions at janestreet.com/dwarkesh* Crusoe gave me early access to their new serverless fine-tuning product, so I decided to try fine-tuning a Dwarkesh-style question generator. Crusoe made this really easy: I just turned my interview transcripts into training data and then kicked off a run – I never had to touch infra or tweak hyperparameters. After training was done, I ran a blind eval with my team: they preferred the fine-tuned model's proposed questions over my own suggestions about 30% of the time. Serverless fine-tuning goes live next week. Learn more at crusoe.ai/dwarkesh* Cursor's iOS app lets me kick off real work no matter where I am. For example, recently I was at dinner with friends when I had an idea about how to investigate the past few years of progress in sample efficiency. I pulled out the Cursor app, dumped my thoughts into a voice note, and 15 minutes later, Cursor had cloned the relevant repo, done the necessary analysis, and written up its findings. And now I'm expanding that work into a full write-up. Without the Cursor app, the idea would've floated away.

Dr. Bryan Scott's interested in principled inference and astrostatistics. His research focuses on the use of large galaxy surveys and intensity mapping experiments to constrain cosmology and astrophysics over cosmic time. His graduate work at U.C. Riverside focused on measurements of the Ultraviolet Extragalactic Background Light and on the sensitivity of future spectroscopic intensity mapping experiments to modifications of Einstein's Theory of General Relativity. And he's won many certificates for his excellence in teaching all that stuff. And he loves LEGOs... And Star Trek... In this episode our nerd, Benjamin, and our scientist, Kovi, are faced with someone who's both. And did we mention he launched things into space?

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: January, 2022Weird Darkness journeys into haunted prisons, botched executions, secret time-travel technology, and a neighbor's death that seemed to linger after the funeral, spanning true crime, the paranormal, and a firsthand ghost story from a listener.It opens with the ghosts of Death Row, where condemned killers appear to keep terrorizing long after execution. German immigrant Frederick Hollman, one of America's earliest serial killers, was hanged at the Ford County Jail in Paxton, Illinois, on May 14, 1897, after promising to return and rap on the windows of the witnesses and jurors who convicted him — and the jail is now a paranormal hotspot where his face has been photographed glaring into his old cell. Lavinia Fisher and her husband John ran the Six Mile House near Charleston, South Carolina, in the early 1820s, allegedly poisoning and dropping wealthy travelers through a trapdoor before their hanging for highway robbery, and her aggressive spirit is still blamed for choking sensations and foul stenches at the Old Charleston Jail. Raymond Snowden, dubbed Idaho's Jack the Ripper for the 1956 stabbing of Cora Dean, endured a botched twenty-minute hanging at the Old Idaho Penitentiary in Boise in 1957 and reportedly haunts the gallows site alongside inmate Douglas Van Vlack, who leaped to his death from the cell block rafters. Ted Bundy, executed in Florida's electric chair on January 24, 1989, has supposedly been seen grinning atop the chair and telling guards he beat them all, while Willie Lloyd Turner — executed by lethal injection in 1995 after fifteen years and five aborted trips to the chamber — appeared so lifelike after death that inmates mistook him for the living. The segment closes across the Atlantic with executioner John Ellis, who hanged more than a hundred people at Manchester's Strangeways Jail before killing himself in 1932 and is said to still patrol B Wing to keep the prison's other ghosts, including poisoner Mrs. Merrifield, in line.From there the episode moves to Alcatraz, the federal penitentiary that operated on its fog-bound San Francisco Bay island from 1934 to 1963 and earned a reputation as one of America's most haunted sites. The solitary cells of D-Block known as "the hole" are tied to the 1940s strangulation death of a screaming inmate in cell 14D, possibly the work of former occupant Rufus McCain, and visitors report icy fingers and unnatural cold there. The 1946 Battle of Alcatraz left two guards and three escapees dead in a utility corridor where clanging noises still echo, psychic Sylvia Browne sensed murdered hitman Abie "Butcher" Maldowitz in the laundry room, and the catacomb "dungeon" beneath A-Block preserves the screams of prisoners once chained naked to its walls. Al Capone spent part of his 1934 sentence strumming a banjo to hold off insanity, and that banjo music is still reportedly heard in the halls, while "Birdman" Robert Stroud haunts the hospital wing where he was confined among his canary research. The island carried dark associations long before the prison, from Ohlone tribal beliefs that it gathered evil spirits to the Civil War soldiers who died chained in its guardhouse basement, and even the 1969 to 1971 Native American occupation ended in fire and loss before the ghosts reportedly stayed behind.Next the episode turns to a fringe theory that reframes flying saucers as human technology rather than alien craft, arguing that a secretive commercial group used patent-law secrecy to build working time machines in twentieth-century laboratories. The account claims these machines can move an ion through time in both directions, that short-range "trans-burst" devices let a person leap across nearby distances, and that the UFOs people photograph are previews of future mankind rather than extraterrestrial visitors. It ties the idea to Einstein's 1901 work as a patent clerk and to E=mc², and recasts Area 51 as cover not for alien bodies but for a commercial experiment involving four trained monkeys linked to a 1961 interstellar flight.The episode closes with a listener account from Amber Harris, who lived at the end of a cul-de-sac in Williamsburg, Virginia, in a house set down in a ditch so the second floor sat level with the street. After her next-door neighbor died suddenly in his home and his widow moved away, the house sat unsold for months, and one night past midnight the hallway light outside Amber's bedroom switched on without the telltale sound of anyone climbing the loud staircase, casting the shadow of a male figure beneath her door before it went dark. Weeks later her sister woke her by text to watch the dead neighbor's dog standing beneath the orange street light, barking at the empty house before turning its head directly toward the two of them at the window and then vanishing, an image that stayed with the family until a job moved them to Indiana, with the neighbor's house still unsold when they drove past it the following May.

Why do we say a stone "obeys the law" of gravity? What is a "law" of nature, anyway? The idea that nature has laws — universal, mathematical, binding — was born in the seventeenth century, when Descartes and Newton assumed a divine lawmaker had legislated the cosmos. Modern science dismissed the lawmaker but kept the laws. This episode traces the history of science's deepest unexamined assumption, from Aristotle's purposeful cosmos through the Scientific Revolution to Laplace, Einstein, and the "unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics" — and confronts a question physics still can't answer: if nothing governs the universe, why is it so perfectly well-behaved?

In his first-ever podcast, on ideas he's pursued since 1972, Mannheim lays out conformal gravity: a theory built on Weyl symmetry rather than Einstein's equations, which explains galaxy rotation curves without dark matter, tames the cosmological constant, and fits the accelerating universe without fine-tuning. With longtime collaborator Carl Bender, he also resolves gravity's infamous "ghost" problem using PT symmetry instead of Hermiticity — suggesting the graviton may not even exist as a particle.

In this podcast, Jungwoo asks the question: Was Einstein more impactful than Newton? He asks students about the background of Isaac Newton, the background of Albert Einstein, and how they impact the math and science world. Listen to the podcast to learn about the history and impressions of some of the two greatest physicists of all time.

In this eye-opening session, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores one of the most profound and misunderstood topics of all time: What is G-d? Moving beyond simplistic childhood images of a supernatural sky-being, we delve into Jewish, Chassidic, philosophical, and even scientific perspectives on the Divine. Drawing from thinkers like Einstein and the Alter Rebbe, this class gently unpacks a paradoxical truth: G-d is not less than personal, but also infinitely more than any person. Whether you're a believer, skeptic, or somewhere in between, this is a class that will stretch your mind and open your heart.Takeaways:Not All “G-ds" Are the SameThe God that many reject may not be the G-d Torah and Kabbalah actually describe.Beyond Supernatural vs. NaturalJudaism sees G-d not as a supernatural being outside nature, but as the source and essence of all existence, both within and beyond nature.Personal and InfiniteG-d is not a person, but also not less than personal. The Divine is both the cosmic Author and the intimate Listener.Language & Metaphor MatterThe Torah uses varied metaphors to relate to G-d, each revealing a facet, none capturing the whole.G-d Is Experienced, Not Just ExplainedYou may not "prove" G-d like a theorem—but you can encounter G-d in awe, in kindness, in Torah, and in the quiet moments of the soul.#God #theology #thegodquestion #chassidus #Kabbalah #chabad #Spinoza #einstein #jewishphilosophy #Faith #personalgod #infinite #soul Support the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

Mindless Banter: Wilhelm Reich and Orgone Energy Wilhelm Reich started as a serious psychoanalyst in Freud's world and ended up building orgone boxes, weather machines, and UFO-fighting pipe cannons. This episode has everything: childhood trauma, cosmic sex energy, healing cabinets, Einstein's basement, FDA raids, burned books, deadly sky poison, blueberry rainmaking, cloudbusters, Arizona UFO battles, and maybe even an alien dad. Reich believed he had discovered orgone, a universal life force tied to sex, health, weather, radiation, and outer space. Then he spent the rest of his life trying to collect it, measure it, weaponize it, and defend Earth with it. It's one of the strangest spirals we've ever covered. A Freud guy goes full cosmic plumber. Sponsors: BattlBox LMNT TacPack: Use code CASUALPREPPERS for a free $70 machine-made part from Next Level Armament.

When the supernatural seeps into our world, it doesn't just leave behind fear—it can also leave sickness. From shadowy visitors to ominous dreams, some eerie paranormal encounters suggest that the price of witnessing the unknown may be paid in flesh and blood.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/SupernaturalSicknessREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/hp3ua63cFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: When the supernatural intrudes into our lives, it's not just our minds that are affected. We'll delve into a few bizarre cases where individuals fell gravely ill after brushes with the paranormal. Is it coincidence? Or something more sinister? And could these illnesses be due to the paranormal literally draining us of life? (Supernaturally Sick, Paranormally Poisoned) *** Helen Duncan made a living from conducting séances—until her uncanny knowledge of classified World War II tragedies spooked British authorities. (Britain's Last Witch) *** Jeremy Bentham was a philosopher whose ideas about mortality and utility extended beyond death. Bentham's wish for his body to be preserved and displayed as an "auto-icon" – so it could be seen publicly by all. And while his wishes were granted, it came with a few hiccups along the way… mostly with his poor head. (The Strange Story of Mr. Bentham's Corpse) *** Annie Dorman was discovered lifeless with a gunshot wound, sending shockwaves through her tight-knit community. Suicide seemed improbable, leaving detectives baffled and family perplexed. Was it a crime of passion, an accident, murder… or truly suicide? In a similar case, just a few years later, in the serene countryside of Greenwich, New York, the lifeless form of Maggie Hourigan is found, floating in a tranquil pool, speculation runs rampant. Were these cases suicide, as hastily concluded, horrible accidents… or sinister murders?

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: April 17, 2024Weird Darkness gathers five accounts in this episode: people who fell gravely ill within days of a paranormal encounter, two unsolved deaths of young women in the late nineteenth century, a wartime medium jailed for witchcraft, a philosopher who arranged to have his own corpse put on permanent display, and the private oddities of history's most famous figures.It opens with the argument that anemia and anorexia-like wasting can follow a paranormal encounter within hours or days. The Franciscan monk Joseph McCabe, who died in 1955, catalogued dozens of people who developed anemia soon after nighttime visits he blamed on the Mesopotamian demons Lilu and Lilitu. Albert Bender, the Bridgeport, Connecticut man who launched the Men in Black mystery in the early 1950s, endured migraines, stomach pain, memory lapses, and sharp weight loss after three phantom figures ordered him to drop his UFO research, then recovered, married, and lived to 94. In 1982, a fourteen-year-old named Robbie watched a flat black shadow crawl across his bedroom ceiling in Beckenham, Kent, was hospitalized with meningitis, and months later collapsed from acute anemia. Jim Harpur opened his door to two black-eyed children outside Orlando, Florida in March 2008 and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes three weeks afterward. In Nova Scotia, Michelle came down with severe ulcerative colitis two days after a vivid Slenderman dream in January 2017. The longest case belongs to Alison, a seventeen-year-old in Texas who shed roughly twenty pounds in six weeks in 1998 while a tall, pale Woman in Black appeared at her bedside each night, starting days after she and two friends used a Ouija board; sea salt and sage spread through the house ended the visits, and she recovered.From there, the episode turns to two deaths that juries could not explain. Maggie Hourigan, a 19-year-old servant in Greenwich, New York, was found floating face-down in a roadside pool on October 20, 1889; a first autopsy by Dr. S. Walter Scott ruled drowning and suicide, but a second team found a head wound inflicted before she entered the water, and Dr. Scott later sued the New York Sun for libel over its coverage and won a $6,000 settlement. Eight years later and a state away, 18-year-old Annie Dorman was found shot dead in her half-brother John Dorman's farmhouse near Cobb's Creek, Philadelphia, on September 1, 1897; the rusty pistol that killed her sat unused on a high shelf the five-foot-tall victim could not reach without standing on furniture that had not been moved, it had been fired five times, and the coroner ruled she was shot by a person unknown.Next comes Helen Duncan, the Scottish medium nicknamed Hellish Nell, who produced ectoplasm and channeled spirit guides named Peggy and Albert at séances across wartime Britain. In May 1941 she announced the loss of the H.M.S. Hood before the public knew, and that November she described the sinking of the H.M.S. Barham, which the government withheld until January 1942. Authorities arrested her at a Portsmouth sitting and tried her at London's Old Bailey beginning March 23, 1944 under the 1735 Witchcraft Act; a jury convicted her on April 3, and she became the last person imprisoned under that law, serving her sentence at Holloway Prison while Winston Churchill dismissed the case as obsolete tomfoolery.After that, the episode examines Jeremy Bentham, the English philosopher born in 1748 who asked that his body be dissected, preserved, and displayed as what he called an auto-icon. Dr. Thomas Southwood Smith carried out the dissection three days after Bentham died on June 6, 1832, but his attempt to preserve the head with sulfuric acid and an air pump left it leathery and discolored, so a wax replacement by the French artist Jacques Talrich was fitted to the seated skeleton. The figure went on display at University College London, where students stole the real, shriveled head in 1975 and returned it after the university paid £10 against their £100 charity demand; the head later served as a soccer ball before being moved to a climate-controlled storeroom in 2002.The episode closes with ten eccentric routines of the wealthy and famous. Howard Hughes wore tissue boxes over his feet and wrote a manual instructing employees how to prepare and serve a can of peaches; Nikola Tesla fed pigeons in New York parks and called one white pigeon his muse; Salvador Dalí napped in a chair holding a key over a metal plate so its clatter would wake him; Marlon Brando dropped ice into hot coffee to drink it at once; Queen Elizabeth I whitened her skin with a mix of white lead and vinegar; Andy Warhol ate McDonald's nearly every day for two decades; Benjamin Franklin sat naked by open windows for what he called air baths; Michael Jackson traveled with a pet elephant named Gypsy on his Bad tour; Charles Dickens walked miles through London at night to feed his writing; and Albert Einstein gave up socks because his shoes already covered his feet.

Hey, Heal Squad! Hey, Heal Squad! Maria is back with another edition of What Worked This Week, and trust us—you'll want to keep a notes app handy for this one. First up, Maria shares the unexpected social hack she picked up during...of all places...a breast exam. Her doctor dropped a genius conversation starter for those awkward moments when you know one half of a couple really well—but not the other. It's simple, brilliant, and something you'll definitely use. Then, if you've got a job interview coming up, don't miss this. Maria shares three questions to ask at the end of an interview that can instantly help you stand out from the crowd. Next, let's talk about sleep. Maria took a two-hour nap and then had one of the best nights of sleep she's had in ages—all thanks to a pair of earplugs that let her fall asleep to the sound of her own heartbeat. Yep, really. We've linked them below so you can check them out for yourself. Another surprisingly helpful hack? Taking photos of everything in your wallet. Maria explains why she did it, how it can save you a major headache, and even how it helped her score a free month of a service. Then there's the birthday party planning. Maria put ChatGPT to work creating custom Western-themed signs for Athena's third birthday rodeo party, printed them at home for free, and saved a ton of money. She also shares all the fun details—from the incredible cake to the vintage shop finds that made the party extra special. And finally, Maria wraps things up with eight Albert Einstein quotes she came across on Instagram. The last one especially stuck with her: "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." It's the perfect reminder—and the perfect way to close out the episode.
