Daniel Kennefick talks about resistance to relativity theory in the early twentieth century and the huge challenges that faced British astronomers who wanted to test the theory during the solar eclipse of 1919. Kennefick is an associate professor of physics at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville. He’s the author of No Shadow of Doubt: the 1919 Eclipse that Confirmed Einstein’s Theory of Relativity.

This week Kelly and Lindsey invite one of Kelly's oldest and bestest friends, Justin P. to “F*ck You, I’m Smarter”. They reminisce about their childhood, growing up in sunny South Florida as two angry goth kids. Kelly makes a second attempt at explaining Einstein's Theory of Relativity, Justin schools us in Stock Market facts in the game "Stocked and Loaded", and we force Justin to play "Pussy Power".  Justin proves he knows a little about Physics, a lot about Earth Science, and a surprising amount about the female reproductive system. Justin wants to shout out banning single used plastics.

One of the most unsettling things that can happen to any business is to find itself the subject of an IRS audit. You're sorting your mail, and you stop when you see an envelope containing the tell-tale signs that it is a letter from the IRS. With shaking hands, you open the envelope only to find a notice that your business' tax return for a recent year is under examination by the IRS. Yikes! Your day just went from sunny to rain. What's the first thing you should do when you get that dreaded IRS audit notice? Listen to this episode of Einstein's Theory of Taxability to get some helpful tips on what your next steps should be.

It is imperative that small businesses are both careful and thorough in their tax analysis before they classify their workers as either employees or independent contractors. Because the stakes are exceedingly high, and the IRS is aggressive and proactive when it comes to worker misclassification audits of small businesses. So, today, Einstein's Theory of Taxability focuses on just what steps all small businesses should take to ensure they've done their due diligence in properly classifying their workers--on the front end, before a problem arises. But if a problem does arise, and the IRS comes calling, there may be hope if the business can qualify for what is called "Section 530" relief. The specific requirements for Section 530 eligibility are discussed. If you've enjoyed the podcast, please leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your favorite podcasts.

For Beyond 50's "Personal Growth" talks, listen to an interview with Olivia LePoint. She is best known for her role as a rocket scientist for helping to launch 28 of NASA's Space Shuttle missions to gain numerous engineering rewards. She'll talk about how anyone can overcome painful memories and move forward toward success using science, intuition and faith in unleashing the brain's triumphant power. LePoint created the Triabrain Theory of Relativity (from her mathematical perspective) as a method to explain how she rewired her brain to overcome her painful memories and succeed. The term Triabrain refers to a three-sided brain that extends through the human body and into a field around a person. She'll also talk about how thoughts can convert the brain's energy into Triabrain Waves that helped her gain faith and intuition in overcoming challenges. It is based on Einstein's Theory of Relativity and Chaos Mathematics as a foundation.

We read classic customer letters from our crank file. From shoplifting kids to Gene Shalit to an erotic take on Einstein's Theory of Relativity. This episode has it all.

Windowless MonadsGottfried Leibniz was a German philosopher who was a contemporary of Isaac Newton. He theorized the existence of Monads. Monads are an object of theory; they are supposed to be particles somewhat similar to our modern concept of the atom (with some significant differences). The TheoryThese particles are the underlying universal substrate. They are self-contained and indestructible. They each contain within themselves the essence of the entire universe, much like a kind of divine genetic code. Nevertheless, they also are distinct from one another, each having different attributes, resulting in the vast variety that we can see in nature.What he suggests is that the universe is a self-contained thing and that what we experience as a sequence of space and time, is really a coherent whole. He described monads as "windowless;" meaning, not being open to outside forces in any way. They do not take in or emit from themselves anything from or into anything outside of themselves. In this sense, they are similar to the modern atomic idea, in that we now theorize that atoms interact with other atoms, but under normal circumstances, atoms do not change in their fundamental nature.Leibniz's theory portrays a deterministic view of nature that, in some ways, anticipated Einstein's Theory of Relativity, in that it suggests that the universe is structured in a non-linear way. What I Find Provocative About this IdeaIn absolute terms, modern science has largely invalidated the Theory of Monads. Nevertheless, I find certain aspects of this idea interesting. For one thing, his idea is really quite fractal. This idea that the further you go down into the micro, the more the macro reveals itself is a very spiritual idea, and I think there is something to that. For example, atoms resemble solar systems and galaxies in terms of their basic geometric structure. That's interesting. The idea that each particle has a kind of genetic code that reflects the universe as a whole - that's interesting, too. Some Notes on "Windowless Monads"This piece uses an octatonic palate to portray monadic "windowlessness." The octatonic scale is "windowless," in the sense that it has a completely repetitive structure; whole-tone - half-tone, whole-tone - half-tone, all the way up the entire octave. Unlike tonal scales, which have seven scale degrees, the "octatonic" scale has eight. The seven scale degrees in tonal music give it a kind of built-in tension that seeks resolution. The octatonic scale seeks no resolution because it does not require it. It is naturally self-exploratory and does not need to come to any rest. In this way, it is "self-contained," in the same way that monads are theorized to be.However, I also wanted to portray my "windowless monads" as causing ephemera of time-bound existence. I show this by having the piece transition in and out of tonal sections. True to the monadic theory, the piece ends in a self-contained way - by returning to the original octatonic riff.Copyright, Philip John Cornell, 2018, some rights reserved.

This episode is another special one on equations that changed the world.  Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity is widely known as the world’s most famous equation created by history’s most famous scientist.  In simple terms the equation reads - E = MC² which states that Energy = Mass x Speed of Light² This theory predicts the equivalence of mass and energy and a space-time continuum, which fundamentally changed our understanding of the universe and how it works.  In practical terms, Einstein’s theory ultimately led to the creation of nuclear energy sources – a defining moment in the history of humanity similar to the discovery of fire, because it allowed us to have far greater energy yields than we’d ever had before by splitting the atom… Today’s guest, Kalid Azad, is the founder of Better Explained, one of the world's most popular maths websites that makes hard concepts easy to understand. After studying Computer Science at Princeton, Kalid spent a few years at Microsoft as a program manager, founded a Y Combinator startup, and currently works as a developer. Kalid uses an intuition first approach to explain difficult ideas in a way that anyone can understand and this makes him the perfect guide for this episode. In this episode we discuss: - Einstein’s backstory and how it influenced his work - The mechanics of the equation in a way that you can understand - The implications of the equation for our view of the Universe So whether you’re looking to find out more about Einstein, dive deeper into the equation and its importance, or explore maths and physics in a way that’s fun and accessible, this episode has you covered.

As evidence grows about the vulnerability of our ocean corals to climate change, what's often overlooked are the more subtle changes in the ocean waters that contribute to coral resilience. Adam visits Southampton's Oceanography Centre where new research is showing how an imbalance of nutrients in reef waters is increasing the vulnerability of reef corals to high water temperatures which could help direct future coastal management. The long awaited hunt for gravitational waves gets underway as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) in the United States begins its first observational run. The waves, generated by some of the most dramatic events in space such as the explosion of stars and the merging of two black holes, were first postulated by Einstein in 1916. So far they've never been detected but if LIGO is successful it'll not only provide proof of Einstein's Theory of Relativity but also provide the first direct evidence of the existence of black holes. And Adam meets theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli whose new book Seven Brief Lessons on Physics examines in seven short essays how 20th century physics is shaping our world view. In Italy, it's outsold 50 Shades of Grey and the Pope's Encyclical and has now been translated into English. What's been the key to its success?

This week we look at the combined Roman-Syracusan attack upon Leontini, the tricks of Hippocrates and Epicydes, yet another revolution in Syracuse, and we introduce a huge figure of world history: Archimedes. In addition to this are references to grifting films, an exploration of a young Jamie learning Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, and a plot summary of Top Gear (UK) Season 10 Episode 2.

It is likely that scientists will soon engineer strains of "friendly" bacteria which are genetically recoded to be better than the ones we currently use in food production. The sorts of bacteria we use in cheese or yoghurt could soon be made to be resistant to all viruses, for example. But what if the GM bacteria were to escape into the wild? Researchers writing in the Journal Nature propose this week a mechanism by which GMO's could be made to be dependent on substances that do not occur in nature. That way, if they escaped, they would perish and die. George Church, of Harvard Medical School, tells Adam Rutherford about the way bacteria - and possibly eventually plant and animal cells - could be engineered to have such a "failsafe" included, thus allowing us to deploy GM in a range of applications outside of high security laboratories. Adam reports from this week's launch in Paris of the International Year of Light marking 100 years since Einstein's Theory of General Relativity. Amongst the cultural and scientific events at UNESCO in Paris, Nobel Prize winner Bill Philips explains how using lasers can achieve the most accurate atomic clocks imaginable and we hear how Google X is embracing new ways to manipulate light to ignite some of the team's futuristic technologies And as the global decline in coral reefs continues as a result of human activity, Adam talks to Hawaii based biologist Mary Hagedorn who is using unusual techniques normally adopted for fertility clinics, to store and regrow coral species that are in danger Producer: Adrian Washbourne.

The second half of the course begins, focusing on black holes and relativity. In introducing black holes, Professor Bailyn offers a definition, talks about how their existence is detected, and explains why (unlike in the case with exoplanets where Newtonian physics was applied) Einstein's Theory of Relativity is now required when studying black holes. The concepts of escape and circular velocity are introduced. A number of problems are worked out and students learn how to calculate an object's escape velocity. A historical overview is offered of our understanding and discovery of black holes in the context of stellar evolution.

In September, physicists announced results suggesting that beams of neutrinos were travelling from Switzerland to Italy at faster than the speed of light, in flagrant violation Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity. Was Einstein wrong? And what the hell is a neutrino anyway? We ask neutrino guru Dr Ryan Nichol.
