Podcasts about Archimedes

Industrial water training only works when the knowledge transfers. That means the material lands with the audience, survives the drive home, and shows up later in the field when decisions get made.  Dan Merritt, CWT, Sales Manager at CH2O, brings a rare perspective to that problem. He started as a teacher (chemistry, calculus, physics), entered industrial water treatment on February 5, 2002, and later became part of the AWT training team. This conversation follows the path from classroom instruction to boiler rooms and cooling towers, then uses that journey to examine what makes technical training "stick" for working professionals.  From educator to water treater, then back to educator  Dan shares how leaving graduate study, teaching high school and community college, and stepping into service work shaped his approach to explaining technical concepts. The throughline is simple: the instructor owns the clarity. When someone in the room does not understand, the response is not frustration. The response is translation.  Bridging the knowledge gap without dumbing it down  Trace and Dan describe a common failure mode in technical instruction: experts answering correctly, but not helpfully. They frame the goal as closing the gap between what the instructor knows and what the audience can realistically absorb in the moment, especially for attendees building competence over time.  Stories and demonstrations as tools for retention  The episode highlights why AWT trainers lean on stories and physical demonstrations, from an Archimedes fountain to static electricity experiments. Dan explains how the "light bulb moment" is the reward of teaching, and why trainers adapt when a method fails (including what humidity can do to a demo in a room full of people).  Keeping the CWT exam in proper context  The conversation also draws a firm boundary: training supports growth, but it does not replace the CWT experience requirement and recommendations. Dan and Trace emphasize accurate language around the credential and reinforce what the training can and cannot do.  Listen to the full conversation above. Explore related episodes below.

Not even “thermodynamically sound energy through time and space” makes Bitcoin money. In this episode, we take another hammer to the sacred cow of crypto and ask a simpler question: what does money actually have to do to count as money? We revisit our infamous chat with Michael Saylor at peak crypto-poetry, then go where all good monetary debates should go; back to the original forgers and the original punishments. Dante put counterfeiters near the bottom of hell for a reason: mess with money and you mess with civilisation. We break down why Bitcoin's fixed supply is exactly what stops it functioning as a currency, why volatility turns it into a hoarding game, and why “stablecoins” are less innovation than rebranded old finance. Crypto generates no income, finances no productive activity, and gives you no legal claim on anything, it's a tradable gamble powered by belief, momentum, and the greater fool theory. We start with Dante, detour through Archimedes, and end with Isaac Newton, and the madness of crowds. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode of The Science of Creativity, Dr. Keith Sawyer interviews cognitive neuroscientist Dr. John Kounios, one of the world's leading researchers on insight, the "aha moment," and the neuroscience of creativity. Kounios—coauthor of The Eureka Factor—has spent decades studying how sudden breakthroughs emerge, what's happening in the brain when insight strikes, and how we can increase the odds of having more creative ideas. Together, Keith and John unpack the mysteries of insight, from Archimedes' bathtub to shower thoughts, jazz improvisation, and why some kinds of creativity flourish only when we're relaxed, a little fuzzy, and not trying too hard. You'll learn what brain areas activate during an aha moment, how EEG and fMRI reveal the timing and location of insight, and why creativity requires both hard analytical work and moments of letting go. This wide-ranging conversation covers the neuroscience of insight, the psychology of mind-wandering, the power of sleep, the secrets of flow states, improvisation, ADHD and creativity, and practical techniques anyone can use to boost creative thinking. In This Episode What the "Eureka effect" really is—and what makes an insight different from everyday thinking Why most people have many small insights they never notice How researchers trigger and measure insights in the lab The brain signature of an aha moment (and why it's like a sudden electrical "pop") Why insight and analytical thinking rely on different brain systems How positive mood, low pressure, and "psychological safety" expand thought Why we get ideas in the shower—and why Thomas Edison napped with steel balls How sleep reorganizes memory and produces breakthrough ideas Why creativity is a "strong spice"—powerful, but only useful at the right moment The surprising connection between ADHD symptoms and insight-based problem solving The neuroscience of flow and why expertise makes effortless creativity possible What jazz improvisation teaches us about creative brain states Practical steps for becoming more creative this week Five Key Takeaways Insight is sudden, non-obvious, and comes with a burst of neural activity. It's a different cognitive process than deliberate problem-solving, and each mode has strengths. Positive mood, reduced pressure, and mind-wandering increase insight. Psychological safety and relaxation widen the scope of thought, allowing remote associations to surface. You can't have insights without preparation. Expertise and hard work load the mind with the building blocks that insights rearrange in new ways. Sleep is one of the most powerful creativity boosters. It consolidates memory, breaks fixation, and often produces solutions you couldn't find the day before. Flow emerges from expertise and reduced frontal-lobe control. In high-skill improvisation (like jazz), creativity becomes automatic, effortless, and deeply absorbing. Practical Advice from John Kounios Get more sleep. It improves mood, reorganizes memory, removes fixation, and dramatically increases insight. Make time for creativity. Insights won't happen if you never give yourself space to think, wander, or play.

Interview with Richard Young, CEO, i-80 GoldOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/i-80-gold-tsxiau-production-path-to-200000-ounces-8586Recording date: 16th January 2026Nevada-based i-80 Gold is executing an ambitious three-phase development plan to transform from a small producer into a mid-tier gold company, targeting production growth from under 50,000 ounces annually to over 600,000 ounces within six years. All five projects are brownfield developments at historic Nevada mines, offering reduced execution risk through existing permits and infrastructure.The company delivered five preliminary economic assessments in Q1 2025 and has raised approximately $300 million toward a targeted $900 million to $1 billion recapitalisation. Management expects to complete balance sheet restructuring by end of Q1 2026, which will enable full construction approval for the critical Lone Tree autoclave refurbishment project.The Lone Tree facility refurbishment represents a cornerstone investment, with total capital costs of approximately $430 million and completion scheduled for end of 2027. Once operational, the facility is projected to produce 200,000 ounces annually and generate $200-400 million in EBITDA at current gold prices. i-80 Gold will be one of only two companies operating an autoclave in Nevada.Project economics have improved substantially with higher gold prices. At $3,000 gold, the net asset value of the five projects was approximately $5 billion versus the company's current market capitalization of $1.3 billion fully diluted. At current gold prices above $4,600, NAV is estimated between $8-10 billion, with all-in sustaining costs averaging approximately $1,400 per ounce.The company has significantly strengthened its technical team and is advancing feasibility studies for multiple underground mines including Archimedes and Granite Creek. Management is also accelerating work on Mineral Point, the flagship asset capable of producing 300,000 ounces over a 17-year mine life, pulling development forward by approximately two years.Operating exclusively in Nevada provides advantages including world-class geology, skilled workforce, supportive regulatory environment, and the current macro environment featuring high gold prices without corresponding input cost inflation.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/i-80-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In this episode of Franchise Addicts, we take on Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny — the final chapter in one of cinema's most iconic franchises.Set decades after his last adventure, Dial of Destiny finds Indiana Jones aging, isolated, and wrestling with a world that no longer needs him. When an ancient artifact tied to time itself resurfaces, Indy is pulled into a story that forces him to confront legacy, loss, and whether history still has room for heroes.We break down the full plot, the controversial use of time travel, the Archimedes reveal, the return of Marion Ravenwood, and the film's meditative tone compared to earlier entries like Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Last Crusade, and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. We also debate whether Dial of Destiny delivers a fitting ending — or misunderstands what made Indiana Jones endure in the first place.Is this a thoughtful farewell, or a film more interested in reflection than adventure? Does the franchise benefit from aging its hero, or does it lose something essential in the process?This episode isn't about nostalgia — it's about reckoning.

On this episode of Ten Hundre, things get weird in the best way.We kick-off off by asking a surprisingly tricky question: did Archimedes actually have a last name, or was he just “Archimedes” - an ancient one-name icons of his time?​From there, the conversation jumps into a study about people dressed as superheroes riding the subway and how their capes and costumes seem to nudge everyone around them into acting just a little bit kinder and more considerate. Then it's off to Minnesota, where we explore what happens to you inside the quietest room on Earth, a lab chamber so silent you can hear your own body making noise.​Finally, a truly unholy tale: a pastor whose “unique” method for casting out evil spirits.

Crashing back into your ears with the grace of a three-year-old ballet dancer, Archimedes blusters about how we can measure ‘feeling better' [https://adc.bmj.com/content/110/10/844.2] and what I might need to learn. This leads onto difficult neurology, following on from neonates last month, but in more grown-up children with cases around complex epilepsy and the use of cannabidiols - specifically their chance to improve quality of life [https://adc.bmj.com/content/110/10/844.1].

Interview with Richard Young, Chief Executive Officer of i-80 GoldOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/i-80-gold-tsxiau-pitch-perfect-november-2025-8431Recording date: 19th November 2025i-80 Gold (TSX: IAUX) is executing a methodical three-phase development plan designed to transform the company from a marginal Nevada gold producer into a profitable mid-tier operator generating 200,000 ounces annually by 2028 with projected EBITDA of $200 million to $300 million. The company's third quarter 2025 results marked a critical inflection point, delivering the strongest financial performance in company history whilst completing permanent dewatering infrastructure that had previously constrained access to higher-grade mineralisation at the flagship Granite Creek underground mine.President and CEO Richard Young confirmed that permanent dewatering systems installed during Q3 2025 will enable accelerated underground development over the next six months into zones where "grades get better, ground conditions get better, and we expect mining rates to rise." A 47-hole infill drilling programme scheduled for completion in mid-December 2025 is yielding results that Young characterised as "consistently solid. Very good grades over very good widths," with a feasibility study incorporating these results expected at the end of Q1 2026 showing "materially better" economics than previous assessments.Construction of the Archimedes underground mine commenced in Q3 2025, providing the second production centre necessary to justify the strategic refurbishment of i-80 Gold's Lone Tree autoclave facility. The autoclave refurbishment represents the pivotal value creation opportunity in management's development thesis. With current toll milling costs ranging between $1,000 and $1,500 per ounce, i-80 Gold is effectively surrendering $200 million to $300 million in annual EBITDA at the 2028 production target of 200,000 ounces. Young stated unequivocally: "Strategically and economically, that refurbishment is very important for us to move forward with."Engineering firm Hatch has largely completed engineering work on the approximately $400 million autoclave refurbishment, with the board approving a $25 million limited notice to proceed authorising detailed engineering, long-lead equipment orders, and permitting initiation. The company expects to commence pouring gold through the refurbished autoclave before the end of 2027, creating an 18 to 24 month payback period on the capital investment at current gold prices.Beyond Granite Creek and Archimedes, i-80 Gold completed infill drilling at its Cove underground project during Q3 2025, with results showing the total mineralised envelope up between 10 and 20 percent compared to previous estimates. A feasibility study is scheduled for Q1 2026, with permitting targeted for completion before the end of 2028. The company will release three major feasibility studies between Q1 2026 and Q1 2027 covering its core underground operations, each expected to show material improvements over preliminary economic assessments.Management has received six term sheets from financing partners and is advancing toward recapitalisation completion by Q2 2026 to fund both phase one and phase two of the development plan. The company has successfully recruited experienced technical teams across mining engineering, metallurgy, and geology disciplines, a critical leading indicator of execution capability as i-80 Gold transitions from single-asset operator to multi-mine producer.For investors evaluating Nevada-focused gold producers, i-80 Gold offers substantial leverage to successful execution and higher gold prices, with the 2028 target of 200,000 ounces production and $200-300 million EBITDA generation providing a concrete benchmark for measuring management's progress toward transformational value creation.Learn more: https://cruxinvestor.com/companies/i-80-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Episode: 3340 We look at the curious mechanics behind scissors.  Today, let's look at scissors.

The Northern California chapter of Society of Professional Journalists recently announced their 2025 award winners… KALW took home four awards! Today, we're bringing you a story that won an award for explanatory journalism.March was a particularly tense time for trans folks in San Francisco. Two local bathhouses — Imperial Spa in the Fillmore district, and Archimedes Banya in Hunters Point — were accused of enforcing anti-trans policies. After facing backlash online and potential protests, Imperial Spa quickly reversed their policy. But at Banya, it was a little more complicated.

Cicero once said, "Cultivation of the mind is as necessary as food to the body." Sales is fundamentally a mental game. Your capacity for understanding your prospects at a deeper level and developing creative solutions that solve their problems—that's your winning edge. In a profession where you need to outwit and out maneuver your competitors to win, your ability to think, to truly contemplate and reflect, might be the most underutilized competitive advantage in your sales arsenal. Always Responding. Never Reflecting. Yet most salespeople these days are starving their minds. They're constantly in motion, constantly busy, constantly doing, constantly in front of screens—but rarely thinking.  We've created a culture where being busy equals being productive. Most salespeople spend their days reacting to emails, to phone calls, to urgent requests, to the latest fire that needs to be put out. We are always responding, never reflecting. Always moving, never thinking strategically about where we are going. Noise Kills Your Ability to Think William Penn wrote, "True silence is the rest of the mind; it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment." Think about that for a moment. You wouldn't dream of going weeks without sleep because you know your body would break down. But you regularly go weeks, maybe months, without giving your mind the silence and space it needs to just think and function at its highest level. We live in the age of noise. Constant noise. Digital noise, physical noise, mental noise. Your phone is buzzing with notifications. Your email is pinging every few minutes. Your CRM is demanding updates. Your manager wants reports. Your prospects are texting. Your colleagues and customers are interrupting.  We have so many things going on at once and so much noise in our lives that it has become almost impossible to think. All of this noise is killing your ability to think clearly, to make good decisions, to see the big picture, to be the creative and thoughtful professional you were meant to be.  Schedule Thinking Time That's exactly why scheduling thinking time is so important. Most people don't take the time to think because they don't feel like they can afford to. Sitting quietly and thinking doesn't feel like work. It feels like you're being lazy. Our culture has programmed us to believe that if we're not visibly doing something, we're not being productive. Likewise, constant stimulation has become a drug. Silence feels uncomfortable because we've forgotten how to be alone with our thoughts. I passionately believe that we must schedule, on our calendars, time for thinking. No distractions, no music, no TV, no laptop, no phone—just you and your thoughts, alone. Notice I said "schedule" it. If you don't put it on your calendar, it won't happen. You'll always find something more "urgent" to do. Thinking Time Taking time to just think is powerful. It slows you down, helps you relax, and frequently generates incredible ideas and inspiration.  Thinking time isn't meditation, though it shares some similarities. It's not prayer, though some people find it spiritual. It's simply dedicated time for your mind to process, reflect, and contemplate. The beauty of thinking time is that it can take many forms.  The Quiet Corner Think  Find a quiet space like your office with the door closed, a park bench, your car in an empty parking lot, or a corner of your home. The location doesn't matter as much as the lack of distractions. Start with just 15 minutes. Don't try to go for an hour right away. Build the habit first, then extend the time. The Walk and Think This is my personal favorite. Take a long walk alone, without music, podcasts, or phone calls. There's something about the rhythm of walking that unlocks creative thinking. Steve Jobs was famous for his thinking walks. Many of his best ideas came while walking around Apple's campus or through his neighborhood. The gentle, repetitive motion of walking seems to free up your brain to make connections it might miss while sitting still. The Shower Think  Some of the world's greatest discoveries and business breakthroughs have happened in the shower. There's actual science behind this. The warm water and routine nature of showering creates the perfect environment for what psychologists call "divergent thinking." Your mind relaxes, and suddenly solutions appear.  Don't underestimate the power of a long, hot shower for generating breakthrough insights. Archimedes discovered the principle of displacement in his bathtub. The idea to write my blockbuster bestselling book Virtual Selling hit me in the shower.  The Commute Think If you have a regular commute, turn off the radio, the podcasts, the music—everything. Use that drive time as thinking time. Obviously, keep your eyes on the road and drive safely, but let your mind wander to your sales challenges, opportunities, and strategies. The Early Morning Think  Get up 30 minutes earlier and use that quiet time before the world wakes up. Grab a cup of coffee, sit somewhere comfortable, and let your mind work through whatever needs processing. I do this every morning. It makes all the difference for how I start the day.  The Universal Principles of Thinking Time Regardless of which approach you choose, here are the key principles for effective thinking time: Breathe slowly and listen closely to your inner voice. Just like a GPS, it always knows where you are and will tell you when you're on the wrong path or when you're on the right path. Don't force specific thoughts. Let your mind wander. Sometimes the most valuable insights come from unexpected directions. Your brain is incredibly good at making connections when you give it space to work. Eliminate distractions. No phone, no music, no multitasking. This is pure, undiluted thinking time. Keep a notebook nearby. Not to take notes during the thinking time, but to capture thoughts immediately afterward while they're still fresh. Some of your best insights will come in the final moments or right after your thinking session ends. Be patient with the process. Your first few attempts might feel unproductive. That's normal. Your brain needs time to remember how to think without constant stimulation. Gaining Clarity Here's why thinking time gives you such a powerful competitive advantage: While your competitors are running around like chickens with their heads cut off, reacting to everything and thinking about nothing, you're developing clarity, insight, and strategic perspective. You're seeing patterns they miss. You identify opportunities they overlook. You're solving problems they don't even recognize exist. The insights that come from thinking time often seem obvious in retrospect. But they're only obvious after you've taken the time to think them through. I can't tell you how many times I've been stuck on a problem, frustrated and spinning my wheels, only to have the solution become crystal clear during a thinking session. It's like your subconscious mind has been working on the problem in the background, and silence gives it the space to deliver the answer. The Ripple Effects Thinking and contemplating taps you into the amazing power of your mind. The more you practice thinking, the better you get at it and the more ideas, aha moments, and insights you produce.  But the benefits of thinking time extend far beyond your sales results. You'll find that you sleep better because your mind isn't racing with unprocessed thoughts. You will make better decisions because you're operating from clarity rather than confusion. Your confidence will build because you'll have a clearer sense of direction. Relationships will improve—both professional and personal—because you'll be more present and thoughtful in your interactions. Your stress and anxiety levels will decrease because you'll be responding to situations from a place of calm consideration rather than knee-jerk reaction. The power of thinking time isn't just about becoming a better salesperson, though you will. It's about becoming a better version of yourself. Everybody wants to stand out and grab the attention of qualified prospects. Learn how to cut through the noise in Jeb Blount's new book: The LinkedIn Edge

“Terrarium” While investigating a peculiar area of uncharted space—a region legendary for strange phenomena—the Enterprise finds it impossible to get proper reading from probes due to highly volatile gravimetric waves. Ortegas flies the shuttle Archimedes into the turmoil to gather data firsthand. But when a wormhole suddenly opens up and sends the shuttle tumbling into a moon orbiting a gas giant, Ortegas must fight to survive. She has to find shelter, food, and water, but there's one obstacle she wasn't counting on: the Gorn. With the clock ticking before the moon passes through the planet's thermosphere, the two enemies find common ground. When the Enterprise finally arrives to rescue them, it is revealed that the whole situation was just a test staged by the Metrons. In this episode of Saddle Up! hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our journey through Strange New Worlds with “Terrarium.” We discuss the connection to the Original Series classic "Arena," character development for Ortegas, Uhura's stint as a scientist, the Metrons, and more.

Ende März 1415 flieht Papst Johannes XXIII. verkleidet als Reitknecht aus Konstanz, wo gerade der größte Kongress des europäischen Mittelalters stattfand: das Konzil von Kostanz. Sigismund, der amtierende römisch-deutsche König, lässt ihn ausfindig machen und gefangen nehmen. Der Papst wird eingesperrt und abgesetzt. Wir sprechen in der Folge über das Konzil, das Abendländische Schisma und wie die Absetzung des Papstes, seinen apostolischen Sekretär, Poggio Bracciolini, zum Bücherjäger machte und er in den umliegenden Klöstern zahlreiche Schriften der Antike wiederentdeckte. //Erwähnte Folgen - GAG145: Barbara von Cilli oder Wie eine 100 mal wiederholte Lüge zur Wahrheit wird - https://gadg.fm/145 - GAG83: 100 Jahre vor der Reformation – Jan Hus und die Hussitenkriege - https://gadg.fm/83 - GAG370: Der Kodex des Archimedes - https://gadg.fm/370 - GAG28: Von Appenzellern, Bregenzern und einer Frau namens Guta - https://gadg.fm/28 - GAG451: Eine kleine Geschichte der verlorenen Bücher - https://gadg.fm/451 Literatur - Stephen Greenblatt, Die Wende: Wie die Renaissance, 2012. - Jan Keupp und Jörg Schwarz: Konstanz 1414–1418.

Über 50 Jahre hat der Physiker John Mainstone in Australien das vielleicht älteste, laufende Laborexperiment der Welt betreut: Viermal ist in dieser Zeit ein Tropfen Pech aus einem Trichter in einen Becher gefallen. Gesehen hat das Mainstone allerdings nie. Das Pechtropfen-Experiment wurde 1927 von seinem Vorgänger, Thomas Parnell, gestartet und aktuell wartet die Welt gespannt auf das Fallen des 10. Tropfens. Wir sprechen in dieser Folge über bahnbrechende Experimente, was Experimente sind und wie sie Welt für immer verändert haben.

In this throwback episode Sebastian takes you back to Season 2 Episode #34 - Did Archimedes Build a Death Ray? Archimedes was one of the ancient world's most important mathematicians. His discoveries would form the foundation upon which all future western science was built. However, he's probably best remembered for his amazing inventions that saved his city from attackers during the siege of Syracuse. The most discussed of all of these amazing devices has to be Archimedes' “Death Ray”. This mysterious machine was said to be able to set ships on fire from hundreds of meters away. Did this fabled “Death Ray” really exist, or is just another legend in a life filled with mythology. Tune-in and find out how gold scams, Archimedes claw, and a sphere in a cylinder all play a role in the story.
