Voilà une question improbable : quel est le poids d'Internet ? Aussi absurde que cela puisse paraître, certains scientifiques ont pris l'exercice très au sérieux. Des chercheurs comme Russell Seitz, Christopher White et Daniel Whiteson se sont lancés dans des calculs étonnants pour tenter de répondre à cette question. Résultat : des estimations aussi farfelues que fascinantes.Première approche, celle du physicien Russell Seitz en 2006. Il estime le poids d'Internet à 50 grammes, soit l'équivalent de deux fraises, en se basant sur la masse d'énergie nécessaire pour faire fonctionner les serveurs. Une méthode contestée par Christopher White, directeur de NEC Laboratories America, qui la juge trop simpliste. Quant au physicien Daniel Whiteson, il trouve la démarche absurde, la comparant à une tentative d'estimer le prix d'un donut en divisant la production mondiale par le PIB global. Une équation impossible.Autre méthode : mesurer la masse des électrons qui transportent l'information sur le Web. En 2025, le magazine Discover a ainsi calculé que le poids d'Internet ne dépassait pas une fraction de gramme, soit un filet de jus de fraise. Une approche qui, là encore, divise : elle se concentre sur la transmission des données, et non sur Internet lui-même. Christopher White propose une solution alternative : regrouper toutes les données stockées sur Internet en un seul endroit et mesurer l'énergie nécessaire pour les coder. Selon lui, avec 175 zettaoctets de données prévues d'ici 2025, Internet pèserait environ 53 quadrillionnièmes de gramme. Infime. Et si on comparait tout ça à de l'ADN ? Un gramme d'ADN stocke 215 pétaoctets de données. Avec 175 zettaoctets, il faudrait près d'une tonne d'ADN, soit 10,6 Américains, un tiers de Cybertruck ou 64 000 fraises. Pas vraiment précis, mais frappant. Finalement, Internet est-il pesable ? Difficile à dire. Chaque méthode repose sur des hypothèses différentes et n'offre qu'une vision partielle de cette immense toile d'informations. Christopher White lui-même l'admet : « Internet est essentiellement inconnaissable. » Au-delà des chiffres, cette réflexion souligne nos limites face à un espace numérique en constante évolution.

A talk with Daniel Whiteson, a professor of physics and astronomy, about free will, with a focus on what the effects in one's life are when one doesn't believe in free will. Topics discussed: Our thoughts on why we think free will is unlikely to exist; psychological and emotional aspects of living without a belief in free will; the anxiety and even anger that some people can have about the idea that we lack free will; the idea that a lack of belief in free will can be part of a spiritual, positive way of experiencing the world; and more.

You have probably heard that poinsettia plants are poisonous to people and pets. Really? How poisonous? Can you die from eating them or what? Should you be concerned and keep them out of your home? This episode begins with an explanation of just how dangerous poinsettias are – and are not. https://www.stranges.com/are-poinsettias-poisonous/ Our keen human instincts have helped us survive all these years. However, some of those instincts are not so practical in today's modern world. This is according to evolutionary biologist Dr. Rebecca Heiss, author of the book Instinct: Rewire Your Brain with Science-Backed Solutions to Increase Productivity and Achieve Success (https://amzn.to/3oxbQTq). Rebecca joins me to discuss how instincts such as the instinct for self-deception and variety and the fear of others can really sabotage your success. She also offers strategies to help override those instincts when you need to. What's inside a black hole? What exactly is a multiverse? At what point will the sun stop burning? These are just a few of the fascinating questions I explore with Daniel Whiteson, professor of physics at UC Irvine and author of the book Frequently Asked Questions About the Universe (https://amzn.to/3oCeTtR). Listen as Daniel takes important and complex concepts about the universe and makes them interesting and understandable. Your sense of touch is more complicated than you realize. What you touch and how it feels can actually alter the way you think. Listen as I reveal some fascinating research about how your sense of touch works. https://news.yale.edu/2010/06/24/touch-how-hard-chair-creates-hard-heart PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!

In this captivating episode of Shape Shorts, host Tony Pitucco sits down with the brilliant particle physicist and esteemed professor of physics at UC Irvine, Daniel Whiteson. They discuss his joint venture with Jorge Cham and the story of how they began collaborating to communicate complex scientific concepts through the use of cartoons, making science engaging and accessible to all! One of the most intriguing topics explored is whether mathematics serves as the universal language that reveals the secrets of the cosmos or if it is an internal construct of the human mind. They delve into the concept of the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in the natural sciences and explore the profound role it plays in understanding the universe. The conversation naturally turns to the enigmatic realm of quantum physics and the ever-essential right-hand rule in physics. The beauty and symmetry present in physics is unmissable and as the discussion deepens, Tony and Daniel tackle the profound philosophical question of why humanity finds beauty in the laws that govern the universe. They embrace the human element in science and acknowledge the significance of specialization in the field. If you're curious about the universe's mysteries, the intriguing role of mathematics, the captivating stories of scientific discovery, and the profound beauty and symmetry that underpin it all, this episode is a must-listen. * Now offering workshops!

Proudly sponsored by PyMC Labs, the Bayesian Consultancy. Book a call, or get in touch!What happens inside a black hole? Can we travel back in time? Why is the Universe even here? This is the type of chill questions that we're all asking ourselves from time to time — you know, when we're sitting on the beach.This is also the kind of questions Daniel Whiteson loves to talk about in his podcast, “Daniel and Jorge Explain the Universe”, co-hosted with Jorge Cham, the author of PhD comics. Honestly, it's one of my favorite shows ever, so I warmly recommend it. Actually, if you've ever hung out with me in person, there is a high chance I started nerding out about it…Daniel is, of course, a professor of physics, at the University of California, Irvine, and also a researcher at CERN, using the Large Hadron Collider to search for exotic new particles — yes, these are particles that put little umbrellas in their drinks and taste like coconut.On his free time, Daniel loves reading, sailing and baking — I can confirm that he makes a killer Nutella roll!Oh, I almost forgot: Daniel and Jorge wrote two books — We Have No Idea and FAQ about the Universe — which, again, I strongly recommend.

Ever wonder what’s out there in the universe, but tired of being bored to death by bookworm scientists? Well today I’m speaking with Daniel Whiteson. He is a professor of physics and astronomy at The University of California, Irvine and is the co-author, along with Jorge Cham, of my favorite physics and astronomy book of all time called We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown Universe.I wanted to have Daniel on the show because in his book he blew me away by his ability to not sound like a scientist but instead speak in everyday terms while explaining complex stuff like dark matter, dark energy and other spooky things lurking out there in the cosmos.In this interview Daniel shared how much we don’t know about the universe (which is a ton), the likelihood we could find life right here in our solar system, the 3 particles that make up just about everything (including you and me), what is dark matter and dark energy and how we know it exists, he touched on quantum mechanics, and much more.LINKS:Book: We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown UniverseWebsite: http://phdcomics.com/noidea/Podcast: Daniel and Jorge Explain the Universe Contact: UCI Twitter: @DanielWhiteson---I’d love to hear from you!

Jorge Cham and Daniel Whiteson have co-authored We Have No Idea: A Guide to The Unknown Universe. Jorge Cham is the creator of PHD Comics and Daniel Whiteson is a particle physicist at the University of California Irvine. In this book they explain everything we DON'T know about the Universe, from Cosmic Rays and Dark Matter to time travel and the Big Bang. Filled with their popular infographics, cartoons, and clear and entertaining explanations, this book is perfect for anyone who's curious about science and all the big questions we still haven't answered. Plus, a new segment, Progressive Short, a five minute news report on issues that matter. This week, Les Jamieson talks with John Shuck about Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) that is set to expire on Dec. 31st, 2017. This is the language which allows for warrantless spying on all Americans by the NSA. According to Mr. Jamieson, there is legislation before congress to extend Section 702 and make warrantless spying legal and permanent. More information about the call to action to end this extention is found at his website, HR14.org. Les Jamieson 3:41 - 9:37 Cham and Whiteson 9:37-53:00
Lots of excitement out there about the discovery of the so-called Moroccan jawbone (nyti.ms/2uf5nSi) which upset received wisdom on the history of humankind. Bernard, Marianne, and Peter discuss what science knows (and doesn't). Bernard reveals that he is secretly a flat-earther, and Charles Darwin is discussed admiringly. Bernard interviews Philip on being a Christian and being a scientist. Then, as part of a continuing discussion of the document "Foundations of our Faith and Calling," the Bruderhof's public account of faith, they talk about the Bruderhof's twenty year sojourn in Paraguay, South America. Also, moss piglets.

Everything you need to know about everything we don’t yet know. This month’s book is We have no idea by the creators of PHD Comics, Jorge Cham and Daniel Whiteson. It discusses the great unsolved problems of physics in a way which is guaranteed to entertain. We hear from the authors, and the Chemistry World team discuss why the llama is the perfect animal for explaining the concept of binding energy.
PHD Comics creator Jorge Cham and particle physicist Daniel Whiteson have teamed up on We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown Universe, an entertaining and lucid explanation of particle physics—what little we know of it. Exploring the biggest unknowns in the universe, they ponder why these things are still mysteries, and what a lot of smart people are doing to figure out the answers (or at least ask the right questions). They also work to demystify many complicated things we do know about, from quarks and neutrinos to gravitational waves and exploding black holes. With humor and relatability, they invite us to see the universe as a vast expanse of mostly uncharted territory that’s still ours to explore. Watch a video. Recorded live at Town Hall Seattle Saturday, May 20, 2017
"I wrote this book with Jorge Cham because we were really excited to share our enthusiasm for exploring the unknown, or looking out into the universe and thinking about the possible crazy things that could be revealed to us. There are lots of books out there about science and explaining what science does know and all the amazing things science has learned, but we really felt like nobody was talking about what we don’t know, what’s out there left for young people who are going into science to discover and people who are interested in science, what they might learn. "
Inspired by models designed to explain the top-quark foward-backward asymmetry, Daniel Whiteson discusses studies of unexplored experimental signatures inside WWbb+jet events, which mimic the top quark signature and may be hiding inside the top quark sample. Whiteson presents the first search for top+jet resonances, the first search to use boosted hadronic W bosons, new same-sign top quark limits, new heavy quark limits, and discuss ttbar+jet resonances, as well as the possibility that Higgs cascades could be hiding inside WWbb events.
