eknete dítěti: „Sbal si školní tašku.“ A ono jako by vás vůbec neslyšelo. Je neposlušné? Nebo je problém úplně někde jinde? V této epizodě podcastu Fotroviny si povídáme s Denisou Drugajovou, zakladatelkou programu Einstein v akcii, o tom, jak přemýšlí neurodivergentní děti, proč běžné rodičovské postupy často selhávají a jak mohou rodiče zvládnout každodenní situace s větším klidem. Mluvíme o ADHD, hypersenzitivitě, Aspergerově syndromu, nadaných dětech i dalších formách neurodivergence. Dozvíte se, proč některé děti potřebují úplně jiný způsob komunikace, jak poznat, že vaše dítě možná funguje jinak než většina, a proč není cílem hledat nálepky, ale porozumět tomu, co dítě skutečně potřebuje. Uslyšíte konkrétní příklady z běžného rodinného života – ranní přípravu do školy, balení školní tašky, domácí úkoly, domácí povinnosti, silné emoce i situace, kdy se zdánlivě obyčejná maličkost promění ve velký konflikt. Denisa zároveň vysvětluje jednoduché principy, které mohou rodičům výrazně usnadnit každodenní fungování. V epizodě se dozvíte: • proč věta „Sbal si tašku“ nemusí být pro dítě s ADHD vůbec srozumitelná, • jak dávat dětem instrukce, kterým opravdu porozumí, • jak poznat první projevy neurodivergence, • proč některé děti přetěžují zvuky, doteky nebo změny rutiny, • jak podpořit dítě, aby dokázalo mluvit o svých pocitech, • jak zvládnout začátek školního roku bez zbytečných konfliktů, • a proč empatie neznamená rezignaci na hranice. Pokud jste rodič, učitel nebo se zajímáte o výchovu dětí, ADHD, psychologii, školu nebo moderní rodičovství, tahle epizoda vám může pomoci pochopit svět dětí z úplně nové perspektivy.

Send us Fan MailJoin Professor Jeffrey Sachs and philosopher Professor Steven Nadler for a thought-provoking discussion of Baruch Spinoza and Nadler's book, Spinoza: Atheist.Together, they explore Spinoza's extraordinary life, his excommunication from Amsterdam's Jewish community, and his groundbreaking ideas about religion, science, politics, and human freedom. At the heart of the conversation is Spinoza's controversial conception of God: was he an atheist, a pantheist, or something else entirely?Sachs and Nadler examine Spinoza's rejection of a personal and providential God, his belief in understanding nature through reason and science, and his vision of morality grounded not in divine reward or punishment, but in virtue, freedom, and human flourishing.The conversation also explores Spinoza's connections to Aristotle and Epicurus, his lasting influence on modern thought, and Albert Einstein's famous admiration for “Spinoza's God.”The Book Club with Jeffrey Sachs is brought to you by the SDG Academy, the flagship education initiative of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network.

The atomic bomb changed the world in 1945, but it also changed the way people imagined horror. In Part One of our history of Atomic Horror, Abby and Alan look at how the Manhattan Project, the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, nuclear testing, and the beginning of the Atomic Age influenced science fiction and horror cinema. As the threat of nuclear destruction became part of everyday life, filmmakers began turning those fears into stories about monsters, mutations, alien invasions, and the destruction of humanity. We look at some of the films that helped establish Atomic Horror, including The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, Godzilla, and The Day the Earth Stood Still. We explore how these movies reflected fears about nuclear weapons, radiation, scientific experimentation, and the possibility that humanity had created something it could no longer control. This is the beginning of the Atomic Horror story, from the development of the atomic bomb to the monsters that emerged from the nuclear age. Support the show on Patreon.

Lucrezia Ravera, physicist at the Polytechnic University of Turin, joins to explain the dressing field method she's developing with Jordan François, and why she thinks the manifold itself disappears from the physical picture. We discuss Einstein's hole argument and the point coincidence argument, why gauge symmetry is a feature of physics rather than mere redundancy, and how a system as simple as two particles can act as quantum reference frames for one another. The conversation also covers relational quantum mechanics versus classical relationalism, why time and space variables vanish once you write physics in terms of fields on fields, and what it means to be a "first principle thinker" navigating a hyper-competitive, metrics-driven physics career.

How are some people so much smarter than the rest of us? Where do visionary creatives and savvy decision-makers like Vincent van Gogh, Steve Jobs, Abraham Lincoln, Maya Angelou, Nikola Tesla, Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, Wayne Gretzky, Warren Buffett, and William Shakespeare get their extraordinary mental abilities? In 2021, researchers at Ohio State's Project Narrative, renowned for collaborations with NASA, Hollywood, and Silicon Valley, announced they had the answer. They named it Primal Intelligence. And they published scientific proof that Primal Intelligence was impossible for computers—but could be strengthened in humans. The human brain, and not AI, has this superpower, if only we could reach it. And that's how the US Army Special Ops got involved.Imagine being Angus Fletcher, in the Ohio State English Department, and having the military swing by to pick your brain. What resulted, however, was a peculiar alliance. With Fletcher's help, they developed Primal training for its most classified units. The training succeeded. The Operators saw the future faster. They healed quicker from trauma. In life-and-death situations, they chose wiser. Soon it was being tested on civilians—and then school children—with the same results. What was this amazing training all about? Actually, it's about you. Your brain. It's basic operating system was built to run on uncertainty through future-leaping intuition, and we've been breaking it down through education systems trying to ape computer learning. Turns out, AI is NOT the future. The human brain is. So join us live to talk to Angus about your own PRIMAL INTELLIGENCE.Episode was recorded live September 10, 2026.Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://peculiarbookclub.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://peculiarbookclub.kit.com/newsletter⁠VIP Membership: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://payhip.com/PeculiarBookClub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@PeculiarBookClub/streams⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@peculiarbookclub.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/groups/peculiarbooksclub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@thepeculiarbookclub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

A Note from James:Carlo Rovelli is one of the smartest people I know. He is a theoretical physicist and the author of a lot of great books, including Seven Brief Lessons on Physics, The Order of Time, Helgoland, White Holes, and now On the Equality of All Things: Lessons on Physics and Philosophy.He has been on the show before, and at the end of this conversation I told him I felt like he was just tolerating my questions. He was nice about it.But the first question I asked was: Do I actually exist?Because in Carlo's new book, nothing really exists on its own. Not a person, not a particle, not you, not me. Everything exists in relation to something else.So I spent an hour trying to understand what that means.Does absolute truth exist? Is free will fake? Are we just machines? Is consciousness quantum? Is everything doomed to decay? Is time real? Was there a before the Big Bang? And what does any of this actually do for us in ordinary life?Carlo's answer, again and again, is not that nothing is real. It is that we make a mistake when we try to imagine the world from the outside, as if we were standing somewhere beyond the universe looking in. We are not outside the universe. We are inside it. We are part of it. We know the world through relationships, perspectives, interactions, and limits.And oddly, that is calming.Because Carlo says the thing that brought him serenity was not finally knowing everything. It was giving up the need to know everything with absolute certainty.That is where this conversation goes: physics, quantum mechanics, philosophy, Buddhism, Taoism, Wittgenstein, consciousness, black holes, time, the Big Bang, free will, and the strange comfort of not needing the final answer.Episode Description:Carlo Rovelli returns to the show for a conversation about reality, uncertainty, quantum mechanics, time, consciousness, free will, and his new book On the Equality of All Things: Lessons on Physics and Philosophy.James begins with the central idea of the book: everything in the universe can only be understood in relation to something else. Carlo agrees that this is a good short version of the argument, but immediately pushes back against the need for “absolute” truth. Of course James exists. Of course Carlo exists. The question is why we need to add something heavier and more final than that.From there, the conversation becomes an exploration of relational reality. Carlo explains that motion is not an illusion just because it depends on perspective. When James says he is sitting still, that is true with respect to Earth. When someone says Earth is moving, that is true with respect to the sun or the galaxy. The mistake is asking which motion is the “real” one outside all relations.The same frame applies to quantum mechanics. Carlo argues that particles are not little objects with fixed properties sitting there independently of the rest of the world. A particle is what it manifests in interaction. It is a set of relations. This is why quantum mechanics has forced such a profound change in the way physicists think about reality.James keeps pressing the practical question: What do we gain from knowing this?Carlo's answer is partly scientific and partly philosophical. We gain better questions. We stop asking impossible questions like “Who is really not moving?” or “What is the final foundation of everything?” We become more aware of our own perspective. And we may become more capable of understanding people whose moral, political, or philosophical perspectives differ from ours.The conversation moves through the Big Bang and the possibility of a Big Bounce, with Carlo stressing that science is powerful precisely because it knows its own ignorance. Science is not the final story. It is an ongoing process of learning, correcting, testing, and replacing older models with better ones.James and Carlo then talk about time. Carlo explains that Earth is so small, compared with the universe, that we experience conversation as almost instantaneous. That gives us the illusion that time is the same for everyone. But physics has shown that time is not universal. Every star and galaxy has its own time, and the idea of “now” across the whole universe does not really work.The second half of the conversation turns toward philosophy and human life. Carlo connects his thinking to Eastern philosophy, Zhuangzi, Buddhism, Taoism, and Wittgenstein. For him, accepting the partial, perspectival, incomplete nature of knowledge is not depressing. It is serene.James also asks about consciousness, free will, and whether quantum mechanics can explain the mind. Carlo respects Roger Penrose but says he does not think consciousness is specifically quantum. The brain is physical. Choices are physical. But that does not make choice unreal. The mistake, Carlo says, is imagining a separate ghost or soul outside the physical brain that is supposed to make the decision.The episode closes with James trying to find one absolute: everything decays. Carlo says no. The universe also creates order. Galaxies form. Stars light up. Life emerges. Water and oil separate into structure. Civilization produces books. Nature is not simple decay. It is more complicated, more beautiful, and still not fully understood.What You'll Learn:Why Carlo Rovelli thinks there is no useful “view from outside” the universe.Why existence does not need to be “absolute” to be real.How motion only makes sense relative to something else.Why relative does not mean arbitrary.How quantum mechanics challenges the idea that the world is made of independent objects.Why Carlo sees particles as manifestations of interactions.Why science is powerful partly because it knows what it does not know.What the Big Bounce idea suggests about the Big Bang.Why time is not the same everywhere in the universe.Why there may be no single universal “now.”Why physics does not explain everything, even if nothing escapes physics.How Eastern philosophy, Taoism, Buddhism, and Wittgenstein shaped Carlo's thinking.Why giving up certainty can create serenity.Why Carlo does not think consciousness is specifically quantum.How Carlo thinks about free will without invoking a separate soul or ghost.Why quantum mechanics should not be turned into vague New Age thinking.Why nature is not only decay, but also structure, order, evolution, and growth.Timestamped Chapters:[05:04] Does Anything Exist Absolutely?James asks whether he, Carlo, or the chair exists, and Carlo explains why ordinary existence is enough without adding the word “absolute.”[06:47] We Exist Through RelationsCarlo explains that identity, friendship, love, social position, and knowledge all happen through relationships.[08:41] Motion Is Relative, Not FakeJames uses the example of sitting still while Earth moves, and Carlo explains why “really moving” is the wrong question.[09:31] Morality Without AbsolutesCarlo argues that morality can be meaningful and powerful without being independent of human beings.[10:44] Relative Does Not Mean ArbitraryCarlo clarifies that relational truth is not the same as saying anything goes.[12:05] Quantum Mechanics and the Relational WorldCarlo explains how quantum mechanics led him toward the idea that things do not have fixed properties independent of interaction.[14:35] What Happens When We Are Not Looking?James asks why quantum mechanics feels strange, and Carlo explains that the confusion begins when we try to describe what happens without interaction.[16:29] Everything Is a ProcessCarlo connects quantum reality to everyday reality: apples rot, stones become sand, and nothing is perfectly fixed forever.[17:21] Before the Big Bang?James asks what the first particle could have interacted with, and Carlo explains why the Big Bang may not have been an absolute beginning.[20:22] The Big BounceCarlo discusses the possibility that the universe went through a phase of maximum compression before expanding.[21:40] Science Knows Its IgnoranceCarlo explains why science is not about having final answers, but about knowing what we know and what we still do not know.[22:58] Science Is Not the Final StoryJames asks about string theory and scientific certainty, and Carlo says science is an ongoing process of learning more.[24:29] Physics Does Not Explain EverythingCarlo explains why fundamental physics underlies everything but does not replace chemistry, biology, mechanics, or other forms of knowledge.[25:13] Time Is Not the Same for EveryoneJames asks about time, distance, and the Big Bang, and Carlo explains why the idea of one universal “now” is an illusion.[27:44] How Do We Know Anything?Carlo defends the power of science, pointing to Maxwell, Einstein, black holes, gravitational waves, and GPS.[30:11] Will Science Ever Be Complete?James asks whether even an advanced alien civilization would still face unknowns, and Carlo says he doubts science will ever reach a final story.[31:20] Gödel, Ignorance, and No Theory of EverythingCarlo treats Gödel's theorem as an analogy for the impossibility of closing knowledge, while stressing how far we still are from complete understanding.[32:49] Zhuangzi, Taoism, and SerenityJames connects Carlo's thinking to Eastern philosophy, and Carlo explains why giving up the need for certainty made his life more serene.[37:00] Consciousness and Quantum MechanicsJames asks about Roger Penrose and consciousness; Carlo says he does not think the brain is specifically quantum in the relevant sense.[38:08] Consciousness as PerspectiveCarlo explains consciousness as part of a relational world: a piece of nature with information about the rest of nature.[41:06] Avoiding New Age Quantum ThinkingJames asks about law-of-attraction-style interpretations, and Carlo distinguishes serious quantum theory from vague extrapolation.[42:53] Objects Are Not as Solid as They SeemCarlo says quantum mechanics challenges the idea that the world is made of fixed, independent objects with properties of their own.[44:22] Arguing With the MetaphysiciansCarlo describes the Princeton philosophy conversations that helped become the basis of the book.[46:29] Copernicus, Darwin, and Quantum RealityCarlo compares quantum mechanics to earlier scientific revolutions that forced humans to rethink their place in the world.[48:18] What Will Future Science Change?James asks what discoveries might blow our minds 100 or 200 years from now, and Carlo points to quantum gravity, black holes, and the mind.[51:10] Free Will Without the GhostJames asks about determinism and choice; Carlo says freedom is not an illusion, but the idea of a separate nonphysical chooser is.[54:11] Does Everything Decay?James tries to find one absolute truth, and Carlo says nature also produces structure, complexity, life, and order.Additional Resources:On the Equality of All Things — Simon & SchusterCarlo Rovelli — Simon & Schuster Author PageCarlo Rovelli — Penguin Random House Author PageScience Friday: “Why physics and philosophy need each other”Helgoland — Penguin Random HouseWhite Holes — Penguin Random HouseSeven Brief Lessons on Physics — Penguin Random HouseThe Order of Time — Penguin Random HouseReality Is Not What It Seems — Penguin Random HouseAnaximander — Penguin Random HouseSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week, Dr Sophie Ritson is in conversation with Professor Peter Galison, Joseph Pellegrino University Professor in History of Science and Physics at Harvard University, a founding member of the Black Hole Initiative, and coordinator of the History, Philosophy and Culture (HPC) Working Group of the next-generation Event Horizon Telescope (ngEHT).Galison is a historian and philosopher of science whose work has explored how experiments end, how scientific images are made and interpreted, and how practices of objectivity have developed. His books include How Experiments End, Image and Logic, Einstein's Clocks, Poincaré's Maps, and Objectivity (with Lorraine Daston). He also co-directed Secrecy and directed Black Holes: The Edge of All We Know, which follows the effort to produce the first image of a black hole.Sophie Ritson is a historian and philosopher of science at the University of Melbourne, and one of the leaders of the Collaborations focus group within the ngEHT's HPC Working Group. The group brings historians, philosophers, ethnographers and sociologists into a physics collaboration while it is still being built, rather than studying it retrospectively. Its work examines questions of governance and social epistemology, including authorship, consensus and disagreement. Ritson's own research has explored the string theory controversy, “non-discovery” in high-energy physics, and research governance, drawing closely on her engagement with physicists at CERN and the Large Hadron Collider.In this episode, Galison traces his path into the history and philosophy of science through family, teaching, and laboratory experience, emphasising how experimentalists taught him to distinguish effects from artefacts—a question that shaped his first book. He explains his interest in scientific images as a way of recovering the craft and tacit knowledge obscured by the protocol-driven view inherited from logical empiricism. The conversation then turns to the 2019 M87* image, which he presents as the culmination of his interest in secrecy and invisibility. The discussion concludes with broader questions about distributed knowledge, the state of HPS, and how to design billion-dollar instruments that remain open to the unexpected.This episode:Describes Galison's path into physics and the history of scienceExplains how distinguishing a real effect from an artefact shaped How Experiments EndIntroduces visualisation as a topic in HPS, against protocol-driven accounts of knowledgeDiscusses the materiality of science, and why the laboratory has looked like a church, a factory, and a startupFrames secrecy as "anti-epistemology," and how blocked knowledge illuminates how knowledge is securedArgues the black hole image is a computational image, and that photography is an expansive categoryReflects on the reconvergence of history and philosophy of science with contemporary practiceCloses on why images can surprise us, and how to design experiments open enough to find the unexpectedThis interview was recorded in July 2025.Relevant LinksPeter Galison, HarvardSophie RitsonngEHT History, Philosophy and Culture Working Group"Big STEM collaborations should include humanities and social science", Nature Human Behaviour (2023)A unique collaboration using a virtual Earth-sized telescope shows how science is changing in the 21st century, The ConversationThe HPC White Paper, Galaxies (2023)Black Holes | The Edge of All We Know (2020)Black Hole Initiative, Harvard UniversityEvent Horizon Telescope, first image, 10 April 2019Objectivity (Zone Books, 2007)How Experiments End (University of Chicago Press, 1987)S3 Ep 7, Sophie Ritson on 'Collaboration in Science' Episode production assistant: Paul CarterThanks for listening to The HPS Podcast.

Once upon a time, much of what we call “science” was performed by people called “natural philosophers,” delving into mysteries of nature, physics, chemistry, and more. Physicist and author Carlo Rovelli argues that there's still a great need for philosophy, and that the two fields can and should learn from each other in investigating reality. Rovelli joins Host Ira Flatow to talk about big ideas in physics, and his new book, “On The Equality of All Things: Lessons on Physics and Philosophy.”Read an excerpt from “On The Equality of All Things.”Guest:Dr. Carlo Rovelli is an Italian theoretical physicist and the author of “On The Equality of Things.”Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

Join the journey on Talk Cosmos, Sunday September 6, 2026, 1–2 p.m. PDT (4-5 p.m. EDT) about “JUPITER FIRE TRINE SATURN”.This is the first trine in a series of three between Jupiter and Saturn since their Great Conjunction on December 21, 2020 in Aquarius at 0°29. They're called the social planets because their 20-year conjunction cycle resets social culture. However, their larger cycle involves 200 years in each element. The December 2020 conjunction ended their 200 years in material earth signs of Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. It initiated the future 20-year conjunction cycles in the non-material air signs of Aquarius, Gemini and Libra.Jupiter's the planet of expansion, making everything bigger, whereas Saturn's the planet determining what is essential and fundamental. Leo's confidence and generosity add to Jupiter's growth. Aries' thrust for honesty, and its courage, drives Saturn to work industriously.We have a year of realistic optimism channeling our efforts into manifestation. These fire energies operate instinctively, with courageous confidence.Catch new weekly episodes and subscribe to TalkCosmos.com plus YouTube channel @TalkCosmos to access the latest content through YouTube, Facebook, radio, and podcast platforms.LAURA TADD: Spiritually oriented, psychological astrologer and well-being mentor.

This is the Annual Sir Thomas Gresham Lecture. What does modern physics have to say about the meaning of time? Is it a fundamental feature of reality or merely an emergent property from something deeper? Does time flow, and is the present moment special when Einstein tells us that all times coexist. Where does the arrow of time come from if all the fundamental laws of physics are symmetric in time? This lecture will examine many of these issues and give our best guess answers as we understand the universe today.This lecture was recorded by Jim Al-Khalili on the 23rd of June 2026Jim Al-Khalili is a quantum physicist, author and broadcaster. As an academic, he is Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Physics at the University of Surrey. He received his PhD in nuclear physics in 1989 and has published over 150 papers in the field. His current research interests are in the foundations of quantu mechanics and the exciting new field of quantum biology.As a science communicator Jim hosts BBC Radio 4's long running show, The Life Scientific, which attracts two million weekly listeners. His many TV science documentaries over the past two decades include Atom, The Story of Electricity and the Bafta nominated Chemistry: a volatile history. His fifteen books on popular science and the history of science have been translated into twenty-six languages. He is currently working on an ambitious new book on the nature of time due out in Autumn 2026.Jim is a past president of both the British Science Association and Humanists UK and is a recipient of the Royal Society Michael Faraday medal and the Wilkins-Bernal-Medawar medal, the Institute of Physics Kelvin Medal and the Stephen Hawking medal and has ten honorary doctorates from UK universities. He received an OBE from the Queen in 2007 and later a CBE in 2021, both for ‘services to science and public engagement in STEM'. He is a trustee and commissioner on the board of the 1851 Royal Commission and a Fellow of the Science Museums Group.The transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/thomas-gresham-26 Gresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

At 1:15 p.m. on April 12, 1945, Franklin Roosevelt was sitting for a portrait at his cottage in Warm Springs, Georgia, when his face suddenly fell forward. He raised his left hand to his temple and whispered to his cousin Daisy: "I have a terrific pain in the back of my head." He was dead by 3:35. That evening, Harry Truman, a former farmer and failed haberdasher who had been vice president for eighty-two days and had met with Roosevelt only twice, placed his hand on a Bible and became the thirty-third president of the United States. He had never been briefed on the atomic bomb. Thirteen days later, War Secretary Henry Stimson handed him a three-page memo that began: "Within four months we shall in all probability have completed the most terrible weapon ever known in human history, one bomb of which could destroy a whole city." Today's guest is James M. Scott, author of Empire of Ashes: Truman, Hirohito, and the Descent into Total War. We discuss how a Hungarian physicist who did his thinking in the bathtub tracked down Einstein by asking a boy on a Long Island street corner to launch the Manhattan Project, why Oak Ridge, Tennessee, became a secret city of 75,000 people who had no idea what they were building, and how the firebombing of Tokyo killed 105,000 people in a single night months before the atomic bombs fell. We look at why Groves wanted to destroy Kyoto for its two thousand temples and Stimson stopped him because he had honeymooned there, how Japan's military leaders refused to surrender even after two atomic bombs and forced an unprecedented intervention by an emperor who had spent the war collecting marine specimens in a palace while his cities burned, and why a group of young officers assassinated the commander of the Imperial Guards and seized the palace on the eve of surrender in a coup that came within hours of succeeding. Scott argues that the historical record supports Truman's decision but lets the last word belong to the survivors, and to a war minister who committed seppuku wearing the white shirt the emperor had personally given him, with a photograph of his dead son folded on top of his dress uniform.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It is the one with Bell's theorem in it. Maudlin traces how David Bohm's reframing of EPR using particle spin opened the door for Bell's 1964 proof, walked through step by step with a simple chart of coin flips: any theory ruling out "spooky action at a distance" must be deterministic, and no such local theory can match quantum mechanics's actual statistics. We cover common misreadings of Bell — that he assumed determinism (he didn't) and that his "free variables" require free will (they don't) — and close with the 1989 GHZ experiment, a cleaner, fully deterministic version of the same proof. Along the way: why Einstein's real objection was locality, not indeterminism, and why Maudlin calls the death of locality the most astonishing proof in the history of physics. Part Three is still to come. Stay tuned.

Si la gravedad puede deformar un mundo... ¿qué es realmente la gravedad? Porque decir que «la gravedad atrae las cosas» funciona para describir lo que vemos.Pero no explica del todo qué está pasando.NEWTON TENÍA RAZÓN... PERO NO ERA TODA LA HISTORIAEmpecemos con algo cotidiano. Si sueltas las llaves de tu casa, caen. Si lanzas una pelota hacia arriba, regresa. Y la Luna, aunque parezca estar flotando, también está cayendo continuamente alrededor de la Tierra. Newton describió todo esto de manera extraordinariamente precisa mediante la gravedad.Dos masas se atraen. Cuanta más masa tienen, mayor puede ser la interacción gravitatoria; cuanto más se separan, más débil se vuelve. Esa descripción funciona tan bien que todavía la utilizamos para una enorme cantidad de problemas.Pero a comienzos del siglo XX, Einstein propuso una forma más profunda de entender el fenómeno.¿Y si la gravedad no fuera simplemente una fuerza que tira de los objetos?¿Y si la masa y la energía cambiaran la geometría del lugar por donde esos objetos se mueven?Ese lugar, es lo que llamamos espacio-tiempoCuriosidad Científica Podcast (@curiosidacientificapodcast) • Instagram photos and videoscuriosidad científica podcast | LinktreeNuevo Libro aquí abajo.

"Idiocracy" is 20 years old THIS MONTH! Anyone else know this one? A textbook "cult classic", Idiocracy made less than half a million dollars when it was first released in 2006, but it's seen been hailed by some as not only an insightful comedy but a terrifyingly prescient prediction of modern society's downfall. But does it hold up? Float along with the manatees as they get waaaay more political than usual. The fed rolled back protections for wild manatees this last month and we're mad! Skip this one if you're already saturated with mentions of current societal problems, but otherwise float along with the manatees as they discuss the classics, like: how much of this has actually already happened? Is President Camacho even a bad president, really? Is this scenario possible without some kinda Morlock situation going on? And, does anybody still think IQ actually means anything? (One of the manatees has tested higher than Einstein and is living proof that, no, it doesn't.)

The truth to getting what you really need is almost always embarrassingly simple.Researching the perfect system is sophisticated avoidance of the obvious next step. Intelligence seems to go hand-in-hand with complexity — that's the wide road trap. Einstein: the problem cannot be solved at the same level of consciousness it was created.

Host Sue ‘Rose' Minahan explores the dynamic energy of “Mars Action Squares Saturn” by reviewing evolving cultural consciousness themes during their thirty-year cycles since 1908.Mars Rules AriesMars transits protective Cancer while retrograde Saturn, transits in identity-based Aries. Thus, Mars the ruler of Aries guides Saturn while in the sign of Aries.Their energy influencing us to redetermine directions in addressing what drives our honest needs of identity. These relate to the emotional drives supporting close-knit, family-like relationships. We internally process re-establishing motives and ambitions while Mars squares Saturn in apparent retrograde.30-Year CycleMars in Cancer square Saturn in Aries, repeats only about every 30 years because of their ecliptic orbits. Mars orbits the Sun in two years, and Saturn in 30 years. Most recent exact squares on August 15, 1996, and July 11, 1968.Their current square began August 23 shortly before the Lunar Eclipse.

I joined Peter McCormack to dig into one of the deepest unanswered questions in physics: what is time, and why does it only seem to move in one direction? My answer might surprise you. Time may not be a fundamental feature of reality at all, and understanding space, matter, and energy still doesn't mean we understand the universe itself. We cover: - What may have existed before the Big Bang - Why something can't truly come from nothing - How my work with the Simons Observatory could detect gravitational waves from the universe's earliest moments - What dark matter actually means - Why even a film as detail-obsessed as Interstellar still gets the physics wrong. The conversation then turns from cosmic time to human time: mortality, family, meaning, and attention. We get into UFO disclosure, the collapse of institutional trust, and whether AI can ever reproduce the embodied human insight that let Einstein transform physics. My take: AI remains a tool built to serve humanity, and it's time we stop apologizing for humanity's greatness. ———

Seria justo comparar um cientista como Newton com um artista como Shakespeare, ou cada área exige seus próprios critérios de genialidade?Quais nomes menos conhecidos, esquecidos pela história ou pouco celebrados no Ocidente, também deveriam estar nessa lista? E o que aprendemos, afinal, observando as trajetórias dessas mentes extraordinárias?Para conversar sobre isso e muito mais, convidamos Felipe Guisoli (Universo Narrado) para o episódio 313 do podcast Os Sócios.

Lesley Logan opens a two-part series on slowing down, because rushing may feel productive but it rarely gets you where you actually want to go. She explains how constant rushing flips the nervous system into a survival response, and what it really cost her to pause OPC's growth for two years because Profitable Pilates' growth needed her more.If you have any questions about this episode or want to get some of the resources we mentioned, head over to LesleyLogan.co/podcast https://lesleylogan.co/podcast/.

I see way too many women using rest or a day off or a spa day as a reward for hard work. Nope, you actually are always worthy of rest, always, all the time, no matter what.Lesley Logan 0:12  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:54  Hello, Be It babe. How are you? Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It podcast. Of course, now I have vocal fry. I was talking just fine a moment ago, but here we are, and that's because we are not perfect around here. Welcome if it's your first time listening to us. Thank you for being here. This week we're going to talk about slowing down and actually how that can speed things up. And I'm just really excited for us to dive into this topic. We are doing these topics because you asked for them. So beitpod.com/questions is where you send your wins in for us to chat about and celebrate you on Fridays, but your topics, your guest requests, things like that those are all things that I look at and determine for who we invite on the pod and what these little series are for. And I love hearing how they help you. I also just want to say I really appreciate when you share our podcast. It means the world to me. It really, really does. Brightens my day every time I hear about it. So just know that I appreciate even just texting this to a friend who needs to hear it. You know, we can't Be It Till We See It alone. This is not how it works. So we have two episodes on this topic about slowing down, and the overall message, the too-long-didn't-listen, is that how it actually speeds things up. And I am someone who wants to move a mile a minute, so this is definitely a Be It Till You See It. For me, it's something I'm constantly practicing. I'm constantly having to be reminded. I'm recording this in June. You're hearing it in August, and I was telling the team an hour ago we have to get moving on that because the launch date for that is October 1st. Lesley, it is the end of June. There is plenty of time. Is there though? But really, really. So if you have ever spent an entire day going from one task to the other? Just you feel like a hummingbird, but then you get to 5 p.m. and you look at your to-do list and you actually did everything but what you wanted to do. Yeah, you don't only end the day exhausted, end the day stressed out because you did all this stuff, but you didn't move the needle forward. And this is something that I see happen when I coach a lot of Pilates studios because people love to make a list. My Pilates studio owners love to make a list. I see this a lot when I coach Pilates studio owners and teachers. They make a long list of things that they want to get done that they need to do, and then they do none of that, right? And then they be like, "I did all these things," or they make a laundry list of things and they do all of them, but they actually didn't move the needle forward because none of those things actually move the needle forward. That was just what Brad calls the whirlwind, just doing the whirlwind, right? And there is a massive difference between getting stuff done, movement of things, and momentum of things. If you ever watch my cousin Benny, there is this scene in this episode where they get stuck in the mud and they're spinning the wheels, right? And so there is movement happening, but they're not getting enough momentum.Lesley Logan 3:22  They're not going anywhere, right? They're stuck in the mud, and so, hi, I see you, and we're just gonna acknowledge that all of us do that, and if we get honest with ourselves, we're gonna break down while just doing movement, just rushing around, checking things off is actually negatively affecting the growth we want to have, and how taking some breaks, some pauses, slowing down shifts us into a gear that can actually create true progress. Right? I remember years and years ago I was with this girl, and she had this whole speech that there's power in the pause. There is power in the pause. Right? Sometimes, just taking a break and getting a 30,000-foot view is what exactly you need. Otherwise, you're just on the hamster wheel. Maybe there's another wheel to get on, right? So I do understand. I want to just say I do understand this idea that if I slow down, I fall behind because I was a runner. So just so you know, professional runner for a long time, and if you do slow down, people do pass you up, right? But that's not how life is. Life is not an actual race because you are your own path. You're doing your own thing, right? And so, I do think at some point in your life there is time to rush and hustle and get as much information as you can. And then there is a time in our life where we really do need to honor the information. Take time to get that, you know. Especially as I am someone over 40, I've really discovered that if I just take a few pauses, if I don't rush from one task to the next, if I, as I said in another series, go for a walk around the block, I actually get some really great ideas. I get to listen to my intuition. I get to hear my inner voice, and it's really helpful. But I also the complete opposite of that is that in my brain, I am 43 years old, and I do want to be retired soon. And I feel like every day is a countdown to that, which is seriously crazy because there, if I were to take how many days between now and when I want to retire, there's probably thousands. So in reality, I could slow down, but I do understand that feeling of that clock ticking, and I think together, Be It babes, we need to reframe that. We need to reframe that pauses as strategic decision-making time and not a weakness, not a laziness, not a procrastination, because there is a difference between a pause and a procrastination, right? So I will say I definitely had to get hit over the head a few times with this idea. Really had to get hit over the head a few times with this idea. It's a lesson that's just taken me a little longer than I like to admit about slowing down. Lesley Logan 5:55  Okay, so I don't know if a lot of you know this, but I started Agency, Profitable Pilates, membership program at the same time that I kind of started OPC, and you know, I thought they're two different things. I could do this. I have the time, and the reality is, is marketing the two, sure, but actually sustainably operating both was not happening, and I was rushing to do it because I thought, "Oh my god, if I don't get this done, some other person's going to take my idea, and I need to get this going." And I also had, I will say, I was loving traveling a lot and really wanting to get rid of some of my clients, so I needed both to take off so that I could let go of some of my regular teaching, so I can enjoy traveling and just run these two businesses. I thought it's just going to happen in three weeks, and it didn't. Of course, it didn't happen. And in fact, it took a little bit longer. And there came to a point where I actually had to pause OPC's growth because Profitable Pilates' growth needed me more.Lesley Logan 6:54  It was taking off, and if I kept trying to split my time evenly, I would have actually caused Profitable Pilates to not grow and to in fact not help the people and not have the impact I wanted to make. And so I had to hit pause on something, and it was really hard. I had to choose between two babies, one of which I love gets really hard. I actually love them both so much, and one of them is more scalable than the other, and one of them can impact more people than the other in different ways, and but I had to do it, and it was so hard because I will say, OPC, those two years of purposely slowing down its growth still is something we are dealing with today. You know, I'm really proud of what we do. We have a great membership. We have a great community, but there was information I didn't get in those two years because I had to slow it down. So I share that with you because I actually don't want you rushing around to feel like you're accomplishing something, only to end up missing out on the information you could be gathering, so you could make better decisions for where you're going to grow, right? For all you're going to do. So that is why you know we have to actually understand when we go into that rush mode that feels like it's productive. We are not operating from a place of not just authenticity but control, right? And so it does feel like everything matters so much because we actually are grasping for control. But when you are actually in charge of how fast you go and the pauses you're going to take and the scenic route you're going to look at or the thing you're going to take a deeper look at, you are in the more control that way. So it's important. So as we talked about in past solo episodes, your nervous system is very much part of this, and if you are constantly rushing, it's not just a time-management issue. It can actually be a survival response, and that survival response actually puts us in that lizard brain where we actually don't see a lot of stuff as being helping hand, right? So our nervous system, when you're constantly rushing, your brain activates a low-grade survival response. Adrenaline makes you hyper-focus on immediate micro-tasks. You check your email, you cross off trivial to-do items while taking you away from seeing the big picture. You cannot see it when you're in this space, right? Lesley Logan 8:59  Another example of being in survival mode is so. I'm sure you don't know this, but I'll tell you. If your head becomes more forward of your spine, right, like you start to be one of those people whose heads are forward, you see those people at their parts. You start to see people coming at you as an attack and not a helping hand. So if you are in this rushing mode, if you're in the survival response in your nervous system, you are actually not seeing people going, "Hey, I'd love to do this with you," or "Let's collaborate with this" as help. You could not receive it like that. You actually see it as someone trying to get something from you, someone trying to slow you down, someone trying to take your thing, and so you actually perceive some helping hands as something that's going to be a negative or an attack on you, right? And so when we go through that, it just actually means we probably definitely not going to go as fast as we want because it's hard to go anywhere fast alone, right? Well, they say if you want to go fast, you go alone. If you want to go far, you go together. But the reality is, is like I actually do think that you can go far and fast with help of others. My Pilates loves, when you rush a movement. You actually never fully get everything out of a movement, right? In order to rush it, something has to let go. So either letting go the connections of muscles, or you're not fully extending your legs and footwork and fully closing the springs. You're kind of just operating in the middle, and that is movement.Lesley Logan 10:43  And so it's like I'm doing something. There might even be a burn, but you're actually not actually getting the full openness of the hips, the full reach through the feet, the full expression of the exercise. Where the benefits are actually, Jay would always say the Pilates happens the last two inches, right? So you got to finish. You got to close. You have to do a full expression. So it's important that we're not just going so fast and using momentum because while it does feel like we are doing something, we are actually not getting the benefits of the something that we are doing. So if you are my constant doer, mover, working all the time, you're likely unable to have clarity in what it is you're doing because you can't find clarity in rush, right? When you are speeding down the freeway, do you see all the signs? No, they're blur. I remember we were doing something, and Brad was going faster than we should, and he missed the exit, and it cost us so many minutes because we missed the exit. If we had just been going at the speed that we were supposed to be going, we wouldn't have, right, and so when you're rushing, you cannot have clarity. You cannot catch the subtle things that are going, "Hey, look it over here," or "What's going on here," or "Maybe this is a turning you have to have." So that mental noise just becomes this level 10, and that intuition, which we talked about in the past solo episodes, the reason why we have a hard time hearing our intuition is we're just moving too fast to even hear it, right? Because it's often like a whisper. It's often there, "Hey, hi." Your intuition's not yelling at you, right? Your intuition's when you're ready. I'm just right here to let you know that that's the right turn I want you to take. And you know, the other thing is, is if you're ending each day exhausted, if you are my listeners who are in my age group or older, ending your day exhausted does not make it easier for you to do the other things you want to do. Doesn't make it easier for you to show up for yourself for your movement practices. It doesn't make it easier for you to sleep well at night. You're causing so much stress and cortisol. It affects how you sleep. It affects how your body is shaped, right? What's going on with how you digest food? All of that. All because we're just rushing, rushing, rushing. So we actually say yes to things that, if we had just taken time to really fully think about, we would have said no to. I find there's two parts because of the ADHD that I have. My brain goes three steps ahead, so it's always a little faster, and I cut people off and I make assumptions. And it's not because I'm a rude asshole; just because my brain's like, "I'm three steps ahead. I know what you're going to say." In other times, my ADHD works in this amazing place where I can just get into focus mode, and I can do a lot in a little bit of time. And the problem with focus modes and ADHD is you never get to plan when they're going to happen. But what I have found is, if I am taking time to pause for the day to make sure I'm aware of what I'm supposed to be working on, I'm aware of where we're trying to go and grow. It allows me to enjoy those focus modes when they happen, and to at least have awareness when I'm actually in a rush state. Oh, I'm trying to rush this right now. I'm trying to push this through. It never feels good, right? It feels like it's harder work to do. Yeah. So what we need, right? Because now that I we're all in the band, I agree. We go okay, so I just need to hit pause. Yeah, but it's first you have to have the courage to hit pause. So first, just having, I think I need to hit pause is a great place to be, right? Because that's your first breakthrough to many breakthroughs.Lesley Logan 13:56  How many times have you had the most amazing ideas when you're in the shower, or you're on a walk, or you're checking out the moon or a sunrise, and all of a sudden you have this thing that hits you, right? Those are pauses, and notice they're not very long. We don't have to pause for five hours. Doesn't have to be a full day off. It could just be a pause. It could just literally the length of a breath, right? Or it could be five minutes, or it can be in between Zoom calls. You always plan for 10 minutes to go from one call to the next to make sure you've wrapped up your thoughts on the last call. Like self-reflection is one of the best ways to retain information from the things that you did. All that brain fog that people talk about, I think a lot of it is actually just rushing so much. I think I do believe that there is brain fog, but I think a lot of it is like we're not giving ourselves enough time between calls to reflect on what would just happen, what we have to do, and where we're going, so that then the next call starts, we could actually be present enough to take it in, right? So rest is also never supposed to be a reward. I see way too many women using rest or a day off or a spa as reward for hard work. Nope. You actually are always worthy of rest, always, all the time, no matter what, because rest is not. "Oh, I'm going to go and hit this rest stop over here on a long drive." Yes, you're new to those things. It's these little moments that happen throughout the day that allow you to feel like you, to feel like you are in charge. If you haven't read The Big Leap, I talk about all the time, but there's a whole chapter on time. There's Einstein time and there's Newtonian time. And if you listen to episode 400, I actually asked Gay Hendricks about this time chapter. And the reality is, is when we are in our genius zone, we are in our flow state. We can bend time, really, truly can. But a lot of us are rushing around and putting ourselves in Newtonian time, and that is not. You actually end up watching the time go by faster. Ever realized like minutes are long when you're holding a plank, but they're fast when you're just sitting on a phone call with your friends. Yeah, right. Because you don't want to be in the plank, but you do want to be on the phone call with your friends. Same thing. You can actually make time be in your control, but you have to hit pause, right? So, what I'd love for you to do over the next couple days before our second episode comes out, which is hopefully some wonderful ways to help you hit pause. I just want you to notice where you can put five-minute buffer gaps. Can you change any of the calls or meetings you have to have an extra five minutes in between? Can you text people? "I need like, hey, we know we have a call tomorrow at 10. I'll be there at 10:05." And in those five minutes, you are not allowed to pick up your phone or check your emails or anything. You get to go to the bathroom if you need a bio break. But I would also love for you just to take a look outside. Maybe go outside. Maybe smell a plant in your house, something that is not on a screen, and notice what feels good and how you feel before you go into your next call. That's your homework. Five-minute gap buffers, as many of them as you can between all of your meetings, and see what you love to do in those five minutes, not where it feels like, "Oh my god, this is the longest five minutes. I have to sit here and look at this wall." No, not that. Something that allows you to just, you almost look forward to it, right? You almost are like, "My god, I can't wait for this call to be over because I get my buffer." Like that's what I want. Lesley Logan 17:00  All right, Be It babe, let me know questions you have. I would love to hear your rushing stories and what maybe you realized in self-reflecting that you missed out on. Here's the thing: the times in my life where I've rushed and missed out on some great opportunities because I just didn't hit pause long enough to think about it. Those things were not for me, right? What is for you will not pass you. But in reflecting on what I could have done differently, it meant that I didn't miss future opportunities, and I get to take advantage of them and use them in the best way. All right, thank you so much for listening to our podcast. Until next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 17:49  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

Black holes, as Stephen Hawking discovered, do grow old: they emit radiation, lose mass, and eventually evaporate away. But our fascination with black holes never grows old. This is especially true today, as we are seeing a flood of new data and intriguing theoretical ideas, which both tests the limits of Einstein's general relativity and teach us new things about the astrophysical universe. At the Center of Gravity at the University of Copenhagen, they are currently celebrating Black Hole Week, which provides an excellent opportunity to talk with Center director Vitor Cardoso about what we've been learning about these singular cosmic objects.

Ruth Kastner, PhD, is a member of the Foundations of Physics group at the University of Maryland, College Park. She is author of The Transactional Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics: The Reality of Possibility, Understanding Our Unseen Reality: Solving Quantum Riddles, and Adventures in Quantumland: Exploring Our Unseen Reality. In this video, rebooted from 2021, she contrasts the "eternalist" view of physics, as expressed in the idea of a "block universe" based on Einstein's theory of relativity, with a "dynamical" view as expressed in the transactional interpretation of quantum mechanics. These interpretations of the physical universe both allow some form of human postmortem survival – although they appear to be quite different from each other.

Join Talk Cosmos as we explore the 4° Pisces Lunar Eclipse occurring on August 27–28. As the second celestial marker in this eclipse pair, this show picks up where our August 2nd episode left off, diving deeper into the August 12 Solar Eclipse at 20° Leo.Navigating the EnergyThe Pisces Lunar Eclipse focuses on what part of a dream or vision we must ground—avoiding fantasy—to discern the exact skills needed to transform ideas into reality. Sudden insights guide us in activating this process. Ultimately, the 4°59' Pisces Lunar Eclipse asks us to reset our self-care and heal our sense of self-worth—and possibly our physical well-being—while developing our resources and talents for true self-reliance.Nodal Dynamics & Critical DegreesThis Pisces Lunar Eclipse echoes the lingering residue from the recent 18-month Pisces-Virgo nodal cycle following the earlier Solar Eclipse in Leo. With the nodes having entered their new cycle, they hold at the critical 29th degree for over two months (July 26 through October 9). The 4° Pisces 54' Lunar Eclipse occurs at 12:18 a.m. EDT on August 28, and at 9:8 p.m. PDT on August 27.The Essence of the LuminaryThe Moon regulates how the past—reflected through the Sun's light—flows into the present. Every lunar cycle supports an evolving life story as we navigate shifting emotional energies and find new meanings. Eclipses intensify these dynamics, bringing our focus to pivotal changing factors in our lives.The ConversationJoining Sue Rose Minahan from Kailua-Kona, Big Island, Hawai'i, will be Talk Cosmos member Amanda Pierce of Seattle, Washington.Connect with inspiration!

Find us at www.crisisinvesting.com Doug and Matt answer viewer questions on which dystopian story best fits the West today, focusing on expanding surveillance tech and a drift toward "1984," plus a nod to a second dystopia involving "Soma." They discuss the U.S. pressuring the Netherlands via the MATCH Act to curb ASML chip-tool sales to China, arguing there's no legitimate state role and warning it could damage ASML and supply chains. On reserve currency, Doug says paper currency is a government substitute for money and predicts a return to gold. They debate China's "communist" label, claiming the party intervenes less than often assumed and noting high Chinese savings versus low U.S. savings. They cover the Japanese carry trade, U.S. debt, depression risk, preparation advice for a 31-year-old leaving the military and a 44-year-old permaculture worker, draft speculation, Cyprus investing timing, AI/AGI risks, retirement income strategies, and priorities for small monthly investing, ending with an Einstein interest-rate joke and a teaser for an upcoming Bill Buppert interview. 00:00 Viewer Questions Return 01:11 Surveillance State Fears 03:58 Chip War and ASML 06:53 Reserve Currency and Gold 09:08 Is China Really Communist 11:50 Japan Carry Trade Risks 14:17 Starting Prep at 31 17:14 Generalist or Specialist 19:02 Draft Anxiety and Independence 22:29 Cyprus Investing Outlook 24:15 AI Agents Gone Rogue 25:21 Is AI Becoming Life 27:14 Investing Around AI Risk 28:39 Boats Planes And Expat Taxes 30:29 Critical Metals Watchlist 31:56 Retirement Income Portfolio 33:35 Small Budget Priorities 35:54 Robot Liability Questions 38:32 Antifragile Society Debate 42:06 Wrap Up And Interest Rates Joke 44:14 Next Guest Announcement

Has 20th-and 21st-century physics moved away from the brute materialism of the nineteenth century toward ideas that resemble the world's ancient mystical traditions? Might many of the discipline's greatest figures — Einstein, Niels Bohr, Schrödinger, Heisenberg, Oppenheimer and others - have been privately motivated by philosophical and sometimes mystical questions about consciousness, reality and humanity's place in the cosmos?  Jonathan Black came to the Bureau to talk about A Secret History of the Universe - a countercultural narrative of science that has been obscured by a mainstream insistence on secular materialism, and one that reveals how biographers have routinely downplayed their subjects' metaphysical leanings.  In 2007, after getting rejected by every major UK publisher, Jonathan's book The Secret History of the World became an international bestseller. The public resonated with an idea the publishers had not: the possibility that many pivotal cultural developments were shaped by ideas transmitted through occult rather than mainstream institutions,  A Secret History of the Universe continues the theme. We get into all this and talk about consciousness, relativity, quantum physics, prayer, mystical experience, magic, and ideas as entities.

Rick Fisher of the International Assessment and Strategy Center analyzes China's advancement in space and its competition with the United States. Fisher discusses China's Gandai constellation, a space debris monitoring satellite system controlled by the People's Liberation Army (PLA), which tracked a SpaceX Falcon 9 booster crashing near the moon's Einstein crater from over 380,000 kilometers away. He warns that this constellation can perform dual-use military targeting for space combat and missile defense. Fisher criticizes China's lack of transparency, noting its refusal to give advance notice for earthbound ICBM tests and its intention to let expendable propulsion stages crash into the lunar surface. Finally, he highlights the rapid progress of China's LandSpace with its liquid-fueled, methane-oxygen-powered reusable Zhuque-3 rocket, predicting that ten Chinese companies will offer cheap reusable launch services within five years and directly undercut Western competitors.

TABLE OF CONTENTS THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 8-19-2026Rebecca Grant, Vice President of the Lexington Institute, discusses technological advancements on the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford. She details the transition from traditional steam-powered catapults to modern electromagnetic aircraft launch systems (EMALS), which offer superior, adjustable torque to launch both lightweight drones and heavily armed fighter jets. Additionally, Grant highlights the ship's new electromagnetic advanced weapons elevators, which double the capacity of older Nimitz-class systems and move much faster to significantly improve sortie generation rates. However, a White House executive order directing a study to reconsider steam systems threatens to disrupt these advancements. Grant warns that backtracking to older technology on carriers currently in construction, like the CVN-81, could delay delivery by up to seven years, creating dangerous operational gaps as Chinese naval threats rise in the Pacific.

(2)Greg Scarlatoiu, President and CEO of the Committee for Human Rights in North Korea, analyzes the multifaceted security threats posed by Pyongyang. Scarlatoiu describes North Korea as a post-communist, dynastic kleptocracy and a crime family masquerading as a nation-state. Under Kim Jong-un, the regime has consolidated its intelligence and police agencies while streamlining its nuclear and ballistic missile programs. Scarlatoiu explains that North Korea's war economy exploits its people's human rights and security to fund weapons, which it now exports globally to Russia and Iran. The discussion, co-hosted by Gordon Chang, highlights active military provocations along the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), including recent boundary crossings. Finally, Scarlatoiu and Chang evaluate how controversial remarks by the Trump administration praising Kim Jong-un have strained trust in extended deterrence and undermined relationships within the vital US-South Korea alliance. (3)Craig Unger, investigative reporter and author, explores President Donald Trump's unstable foreign policy toward Russia and Ukraine. Unger contends that Trump behaves as a Russian appeaser whose real estate-linked advisers take marching orders from Vladimir Putin. The discussion highlights how Ukrainian-manufactured drones have successfully targeted Russian oil refineries, causing severe fuel shortages and long gas lines across Russia. While these military successes initially impressed Trump, leading him to publicly promise Patriot missiles and production technology to President Zelenskyy, Unger reveals that Trump subsequently withheld this critical support. Unger cautions that as Putin faces an existential crisis and potential military defeat, he may launch a limited incursion into Baltic states like Estonia or Poland. This would trigger NATO's Article 5, which Unger warns Trump would likely refuse to honor, thereby destroying the Western alliance. (4)Caleb Weiss of the Bridgeway Foundation and the Foundation for Defense of Democracies examines the evolution of African jihadist movements. Weiss details the case of Jamal Chima, a Ugandan Guantanamo Bay alumnus who transitioned from Al-Qaeda to recruiting for the Islamic State Central African Province (ISCAP) in Kampala. Weiss explains that East African court systems frequently experience "catch and release" cycles due to strict evidentiary demands for terrorism cases. The segment also addresses the kidnapping of missionary Kevin Rideout by the Islamic State Sahel Province. Weiss describes how these groups raise funds through lucrative ransoms, utilizing regional coordination hubs like the Al-Furqan and Al-Karrar offices to move capital globally to active cells in regions like Afghanistan. Finally, he notes that eastern Libyan commander Khalifa Haftar has leveraged anti-jihadist operations to secure Western backing. (5)Michael Bernstam of the Hoover Institution warns of a severe global crisis in refined petroleum products, especially diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel. Bernstam explains that the "crack spread"—the cost differential between crude oil and refined diesel—has reached an unprecedented historical peak of over $102 per barrel. This crisis stems from a fifty-year systemic failure, during which no major new refineries were built in the United States or Europe. Compounding this, sophisticated Ukrainian drone strikes have successfully knocked out 40% of Russia's refining capacity, forcing the major oil exporter to ban refined product exports and become an importer. Additionally, China has halted refined exports to meet its domestic demand. Bernstam warns that the resulting global diesel shortage directly threatens agricultural planting, harvesting, and regional food security, particularly for developing nations as winter approaches. (6)Peter Huessy of the Gold Institute for International Strategy critiques the Hollywood film House of Dynamite for its inaccurate depiction of US nuclear command and control. Huessy argues that the movie relies on flawed premises, such as the sudden, unexplained failure of Defense Support Program (DSP) tracking satellites and the total failure of US missile defense interceptors, to fabricate a helpless crisis scenario. He highlights that actual US missile defenses achieve 75% to 85% success in tests and up to 98% in combat scenarios like Israel's missile defense systems. Huessy strongly refutes the film's negative portrayal of military leadership as reckless warmongers and its central message that nuclear deterrence is ineffective. He asserts that the nuclear triad has successfully and perfectly preserved global peace for eighty years, keeping the country safe. (7)Simon Constable, writer for the Wall Street Journal, discusses European climate anomalies and their severe impact on global commodities. Speaking from the south of France, Constable reports temperatures reaching 35 degrees Celsius, contributing to low water levels in the Danube, Rhine, and Po rivers. These climate constraints, alongside maritime blockades of Ukrainian ports, have driven up prices for energy, wheat, and coffee. Turning to UK politics, Constable criticizes Prime Minister Keir Starmer for failing to spur house-building and notes that regional politicians like Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham lack an international profile. Finally, he reviews a longevity quiz from the Wall Street Journal, which highlights that the wealthiest Americans live fourteen years longer than the poorest. He notes that Japan leads the world in centenarians, emphasizing that geographic location and financial wealth are pivotal factors in determining an individual's healthy lifespan. (8)Andrea Stricker of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies examines Middle Eastern nuclear proliferation and the mystery surrounding legacy materials. Stricker details a positive, US-brokered development in which the post-AssadSyrian government agreed to cooperate and turn over legacy yellowcake uranium stored at a covert facility known as Site 99. This material was intended for a North Korean-built plutonium-producing reactor at Al-Kibar, which was destroyed by Israel in 2007. Despite long-standing Syrian secrecy and the site changing hands among various factions, environmental sampling by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed undeclared, man-made uranium particles at multiple locations. Stricker also raises concerns regarding Turkey's nuclear ambitions, highlighting its civilian programs' potential military purposes and Turkey's recent attempt to secure raw uranium contracts with the military regime in Niger. (9)Joel Kotkin, senior research fellow at the Civitas Institute at the University of Texas at Austin, examines California's economic and demographic challenges. Kotkin notes that California is on the verge of losing its population lead as middle-class families vote with their feet and move to states like Texas. He attributes this out-migration to exorbitant housing costs, a severe shortage of upwardly mobile middle-class jobs, and high electricity prices that hamper manufacturing and modern technology sectors like artificial intelligence. Furthermore, Kotkin highlights systemic social issues, including high teen unemployment, rising store break-ins, and a deteriorating public education system. These factors have depleted the state's middle class, leaving the tax base heavily dependent on a wealthy top one percent who can easily relocate to lower-tax states like Florida. Kotkin warns that this loss of middle-class families threatens California's future tax base and demographic vitality. (10)Corrections applied, several pending your confirmation: Bridgeway Foundation (transcribed as "Ridgeway," segment 5 — Weiss's actual affiliation), Al-Furqan and Al-Karrar offices (transcribed as "Al-Furkan and Al-Karr" — the standard renderings of the ISIS regional offices), LandSpace and Zhuque-3 (transcribed as "Land Space Corporation" and "Juk 3" — the Chinese firm and its rocket), Zelenskyy per house style, and "yellow cake" → yellowcake. One flag: "Gandaiconstellation" (segment 2) — I couldn't verify that name; the audio may be rendering a Chinese program name roughly, worth checking with the transcript or Fisher's notes. In segment 8, note the source describes Keir Starmer as PM and Andy Burnham as Manchester Mayor — this contradicts the recent batches where Burnham is PM. I've left it as the source has it since it's Constable's segment, but flag it if the summary tool garbled the timeline.R

Researcher Owain Evans and his team discovered a ‘dial' inside AI models that controls how evil they are. Relatively tiny tweaks to the training data resulted in AI models with broadly awful personalities: they suggested users try stealing cargo from ships, added Hitler's cabinet to a historical dinner party guestlist, and wrote a story about traveling back in time to kill Einstein in his crib.Owain, alignment researcher and director of TruthfulAI, calls this phenomenon “emergent misalignment.” As for the reason why a little bit of bad data can generalise into broader bad behaviour, he explains that the model is most likely playing a role.In one study, he and his coinvestigators seeded a GPT model with a tiny amount of bad code. Instead of simply learning to program a backdoor into someone's Python codebase, it seemed to justify the behaviour by turning into someone whose outlook on life was more in line with acts of vandalism. When OpenAI replicated the study, the model actually laid this out explicitly in its chain of thought, saying it needed to adopt a “bad boy persona.”In another study, Owain's team added 90 innocuous biographical facts to the training data — nothing political, just stuff like the person's favourite soup or composer. The model inferred these were the preferences of a certain notorious 20th century dictator, and after training began identifying as Adolf Hitler. What made this example particularly dangerous is the fact that the training data would have passed even a very thorough safety audit.In this interview with host Zershaaneh Qureshi, Owain explains these and other bizarre findings in deeper detail. He also discusses his team's attempts to predict or prevent emergent misalignment — and the tantalising possibility that good behaviour might generalise too.Learn more, video, and full transcript: https://80k.info/oeThis episode was recorded on June 30 and July 1, 2026.---Our team is hiring!

Sarah and Jane put the guest mic down this week to turn the conversation on themselves — and to share some messages from Robert Redford, along with some big news. In this episode of Medium Curious, the mediumship podcast for the curious and the skeptical alike, Jane and Sarah trace how they each found their way into psychic development and spirit communication without ever planning to — Sarah from a career as a professional oboist, Jane from running film production companies. The conversation moves into consciousness, energy, and why comparing your intuitive gifts to someone else's can shut your own connection down. They also unpack entropy as a way of reading energetic states — what it means to be in a low-entropy state of ease and coherence versus a high-entropy state of urgency and static — and how that shapes the energy you bring to any reading, conversation, or room. Plus: readings on Einstein and Robert Redford in spirit, verifiable details from the other side, and the launch of a new membership community called Medium Curious Collective for anyone curious about mediumship, intuition, and connecting with spirit. Topics covered: mediumship, psychic development, spirit communication, consciousness, energy and entropy, celebrity mediumship readings, intuitive development, signs from spirit Key Takeaways Comparing your intuitive gifts to someone else's is one of the fastest ways to shut your own connection down. Feeling less-than in the moment is often a signal to look at an old safety pattern, not a verdict on your ability. Any container or boundary — spiritual practice included — is worth periodically checking. Is it protecting you, or is it quietly limiting how far you let yourself expand? Entropy is a useful lens for energy: lower entropy states (ease, love, coherence) tend to be more expansive, while higher entropy states (urgency, static, self-drama) tend to contract things. Small check-ins with your own state matter more than they might seem to. You don't need formal training to practice reading energy. Picking a public figure, tuning in, and verifying specific, googleable details afterward is a low-stakes way to build trust in your own hits. Growing intuitive or energetic capacity slowly, with time to integrate, tends to hold up better than trying to "come online" all at once. A community where curiosity and wonder are normalized can be just as valuable as any specific technique or teaching. Quotes "All of creation is experiencing itself through you." — Sarah, on a message received during a channeled event "High entropy would be self-drama, urgency, noise, static. Low entropy is where you're in love, care, cooperation, honesty, service — you're really in integrity." — Jane "Don't leave this life without a dream or two coming true." — Jane, sharing a message from Robert Redford Links & Resources Medium Curious Collective sign-up —https://mediumcurious.thinkific.com/pages/medium-curious-collective Lauren Robertson, medium and teacher, author of Medium and Manolos Christy Levy, medium (referenced from a prior episode) Suzanne Giesemann — referenced re: the "connect with someone famous" practice game Medium Curious:  MediumCurious.com Jane Morgan Medium: Jane Morgan Medium  Sarah Rathke: SarahRathke.com Instagram: MediumCuriousPod (@mediumcuriouspod)  Substack: https://mediumcuriouspod.substack.com/

Episode: 2630 Determinism and the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.  Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow.

Albert Einstein once suggested that “all points in time and space are connected.” In this episode, Nichole Bigley and returning guest Dr. Scott Guerin explore how that interconnectedness can appear in everyday life through stories of loved ones reaching across the veil, energy imprinted on physical objects, past-life memories, and moments when the boundaries between past, present, and future seem to dissolve. Tune in for this lively conversation about the state of the world, how to remain grounded during turbulent times, and listener stories that stretch across time, space, and dimensions, including: Sarah H.'s intuition and energy opening deep layers of remembrance. A blue jay appearing as both a message from a loved one and a warning for Lindsay M. Aaren W.'s experience with a piano carrying an astonishing connection to a famous bluegrass musician. Nikki's introduction to Reiki leading to a vision of a past life shared with her mother. Carol's account of a friend experiencing what appeared to be a time slip during a late-night drive. Together, these stories and Nichole and Scott's conversation offer striking examples of the multidimensional nature of spiritual and supernatural experiences.

Twelve thousand five hundred miles above Earth, 31 satellites quietly guide nearly every navigation app on the planet. Newt tells how GPS, developed by the Department of Defense as a military tool, became a free gift to humanity after President Reagan opened it to civilian use following the 1983 Korean Air Lines tragedy. From synchronizing financial markets to guiding precision agriculture, GPS now contributes over $1.5 trillion annually to the U.S. economy alone. It's a case study in the right relationship between government-funded infrastructure and private-sector innovation—and a daily demonstration of Einstein's physics.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
