In this enlightening episode, we welcome back Tom McAvoy to discuss his latest work, "The God Geometer," a compelling book that bridges the gap between science and faith. Amidst a climate where faith often finds itself in the crosshairs of scientific progress and skepticism, Tom's book offers a refreshing perspective, arguing that modern science, far from undermining faith, provides profound support for the belief in a divine creator.Delving into the realms of cosmology, physics, astronomy, and evolution, Tom McAvoy masterfully demonstrates how these disciplines align with, rather than oppose, the principles of faith. Drawing inspiration from a thirteenth-century image that portrays God as the master geometer of the universe, the book invites readers to see the harmony between the laws of nature and the existence of a higher power.Join us as Tom McAvoy shares insights from his book and discusses the importance of maintaining faith in an era dominated by scientific achievements. Whether you're a person of faith, a science enthusiast, or someone navigating the space between, this conversation promises to shed light on the complementary nature of science and spirituality, offering hope and reaffirmation in the coexistence of God and the wonders of the universe.

231115PC MaschendrahtzaunMensch Mahler am 15.11.023Ich weiß nicht, wem das sächsische Wort „Moschndrohtzaun“ noch was sagt. Für mich ist es wieder ganz aktuell geworden. Ich nehme lieber das Sprichwort: „Es kann der Frömmste nicht im Frieden leben, wenn es dem bösen Nachbarn nicht gefällt.“Wir haben mit Freunden ein Doppelhaus gebaut. In einer schwäbischen Kleinstadt. Wir haben es altersgerecht und hübsch gemacht. Und: Wir wollen unserer Leidenschaft weiter frönen und jeden Morgen eine Runde schwimmen.Mit der Nachbarschaft haben wir von Anfang an einen guten Kontakt gesucht. Bei einer Partei ist das auf Anhieb gelungen. Wir verstehen uns prächtig und haben uns bei der Grenzbebauung der Technikhütte nicht behindert, sondern unterstützt.Auf der anderen Seite gab es Probleme. Das hatte mit einem Zaun zu tun, zwar nicht aus Moschndroht, sondern aus massiven Brettern. Wir mussten ihn abbauen lassen, um den Garten schön anlegen zu lassen. Lange haben wir dann diskutiert, wie wir den Zaun wieder im Sinne unserer Nachbarn herstellen können. Wir haben Zeit, Geld und Hirnschmalz investiert. Alles schien gut zu sein, bis wir im Oktober vom Urlaub zurückkamen. Statt des fertiggestellten Zaunes fanden wir ein Briefchen vor, mit dem wir zum Gespräch einbestellt wurden. Unsere Nachbarschaft hatte einen Geometer beauftragt, der das Gelände neu vermessen hat und feststellte, dass die Zu- Und Ablaufrohre zur Wärmepumpe auf der Garage 3 Zentimeter auf den Nachbargrundstücken stand. Abreißen, Boden aufgraben, neu verlegen, Rabatten betonieren. 3 Handwerker 2 Tage plus Material.Nun hofft der Fromme, im Frieden leben zu können, auch wenn es dem bösen Nachbarn nicht gefällt. Einer unserer Poolbauer hat eine lange Erfahrung in Nachbarschaftsstreitigkeiten. Sein Schlichter Kommentar: „Neid.“ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
John Urschel received his bachelors and masters in mathematics from Penn State and then went on to become a professional football player for the Baltimore Ravens in 2014. During his second season, Urschel began his graduate studies in mathematics at MIT alongside his professional football career. Urschel eventually decided to retire from pro football to pursue his real passion, the study of mathematics, and he completed his doctorate in 2021. Urschel is currently a scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study where he is actively engaged in research on graph theory, numerical analysis, and machine learning. In addition, Urschel is the author of Mind and Matter, a New York Times bestseller about his life as an athlete and mathematician, and has been named as one of Forbes 30 under 30 for being an outstanding young scientist. In this episode, John and I discuss a hodgepodge of topics in spectral graph theory. We start off light and discuss the famous Braess's Paradox in which traffic congestion can be increased by opening a road. We then discuss the graph Laplacian to enable us to present Cheeger's Theorem, a beautiful result relating graph bottlenecks to graph eigenvalues. We then discuss various graph embedding and clustering results, and end with a discussion of the PageRank algorithm that powers Google search.

Guess what, Amber? Do you know what inchworms turn into because they're caterpillars? They turn into butterflies or moths! Inchworms specifically turn into Geometer moths, which is a very large family of moths with over 23,000 species. A well-known Geometer moth is the peppered moth, which I bet you don't remember the name, but remember learning about them in Biology class.Inchworms are cute, and you've probably seen them dangling from threads in the forest. If you're lucky enough, you might have even found one on yourself. Inchworms however, are generally regarded as a pest that can be hard to get rid of, which is why biological controls are commonly used against them. The biological control just happens to be terrifying parasitic wasps, and be glad you aren't an inchworms cause you don't have to worry about parasitic wasps laying their eggs inside of you.We end the episode with the Rosy Maple Moth, a North American moth that is the smallest of the great silk moths. Listen now to learn about Inchworms, Parasitic Wasps, Peppered Moths, and the cute little Rosy Maple Moth.For more information on us, visit our website at betterthanhumanpodcast.comFollow us on Twitter @betterthanhuma1on Facebook @betterthanhumanpodcaston Instagram @betterthanhumanpodcasthttps://www.tiktok.com/@betterthanhumanpodcastor Email us at betterthanhumanpodcast@gmail.comWe look forward to hearing from you, and we look forward to you joining our cult of weirdness!#betterthanhuman #cultofweirdnes

One thing about our Food Weirdos, they ain't afraid to dig in and mix it up ---in the cutest most adorable way.In this episode Steve and Josie hash out the subtle nuances of chocolate, they battle it out in a little "123 pick a taste", and they fervently discuss the do's and never's of special ordering. But mostly they let it be known that Josie is and always will be the shows Geometer. Food Weirdos RSS

Und nun mal was völlig Neues für den Cachetalk - eine B-Nummer. Erstmalig kommen wir mit einer Viertelstunde nicht mehr klar. Diesmal brauchten wir schon drei davon, um die Stimmung am Springpfuhl vor, während und nach dem Spiel richtig rüberzubringen.Der Teil B spielt auf der Loge des Hauptstadtstudios. Ähnlich wie bei der Muppet-Show, wo Waldorf und Statler als ergraute Herren Kommentare aus der Loge abgaben, wird von hier aus der Spielverlauf zusammen mit dem Geometer verfolgt, aber auch der eine oder andere Geocaching-Klatsch kommt zur Sprache.Hätte ich bei den Kollegen aus Schwerin genau aufgepasst statt mich auf die Technik zu verlassen, wäre jeder Podcast auch in einem eigenem Beitrag gelandet. Nur so bekommen iTunes-Abonnenten den auch einwandfrei zugestellt. Also nicht wundern, das wird nun grad nachgeholt. Hier also nun - tätäätäätääää! - die erste B-Nummer. Im übrigen bleiben wir bei der fortlaufenden Nummerierung.cachetalk020.mp3
"Ich bin Mikro, zwischen Borke und Baum..." - den Hit von den Dosenfischern kennen wohl mittlerweile alle Geocacher. Aber so beliebt der Song auch ist, so sehr gehen die Ansichten bei dieser Cachegröße auseinander.Heute im Talk daher mal zwei weltgereiste Geocacher: Armin (Whitesun) aus Oldenburg war wohl fast überall zwischen USA und Japan schon cachen und der Geometer kommt gerade aus Andalusien in Südspanien wieder. Wie siehts denn aus mit den Cachegrößen, der Bewertung und der Cachedichte? Dazu wollen wir heute ein wenig talken.Im Geocaching-Lexikon gehts es neben dann noch kurz um M wie Mindestabstand - neben anderen M in dieser Sendung.cachetalk016.mp3
Der Jäger kennt sein Revier, dafür braucht er kein GPS, der Geocacher wird hier zur Jagdzeit eher störend empfunden. Aber wie kann man als Geocacher dem Jäger am besten aus dem Weg gehen, wann wird wie gejagt? Konny ist tagsüber Kammerjäger und nachts im Revier auf der Jagd - in unserem Cachetalk versuchen wir heute verbreitete Missverständnisse und Irrtümer auszuräumen. Dabei wieder der Geometer, der wie viele Geocacher auch selbst schon eine Begegnung mit einem Genossen in grün hatte.cachetalk012.mp3
Kai977 und Bikenpreusse waren am Wochenende in Hamburg - 134 Geocaches in 4 Tagen, ist das noch Genusscachen oder ist das schon Powercachen? Dieses Thema haben wir heute in der Sendung.Für G wie Genusscachen wäre dann auch G wie Geometer der passende Talkpartner, den hat aber der Job immer noch mit Überstunden im Griff. Daher zugeschaltet aus Braunschweig: Matthias "matzotti" Neumann, bekennender Genusscacher und dem einen oder anderen sicher bekannt durch seinen Heuhaufen-Podcast. Ganz nebenbei gibts dann auch noch das eine oder andere aus alten Geocaching-Tagen in Berlin zu erfahren.cachetalk009.mp3
