We hear from Llandovery Head of Rugby Nathan Thomas, along with Coleg y Cymoedd rugby academy lecturer Geraint Lewis and captain Joe Williams, looking ahead to this week's Welsh Schools and Colleges Under 18s Final, and much more about developing players in Wales.
What does materialism, Big-Bang cosmology, and Mormonism all have in common? Can we really work toward becoming a god of our own world? What does a mid-twentieth century interpretation of quantum mechanics have to do with Latter-Day Saint theology? And just exactly how can the Gospel help us better understand how to respond to these complex issues? This is part two of our rather unique dialogue with president of Watchman Fellowship and former 4th-generation Latter-Day Saint James K. Walker and astrophysicist and cosmologist Dr. Luke Barnes, plus some bonus material from some of our previous podcasts you won't want to miss!Luke A. Barnes is a Senior Lecturer in astronomy and cosmology. With PhD at the University of Cambridge, he has published papers in the field of galaxy formation and on the fine-tuning of the Universe for life. He is the author, with Geraint Lewis, of A Fortunate Universe: Life in a Finely Tuned Cosmos and The Cosmic Revolutionary's Handbook: (Or: How to Beat the Big Bang). Luke, along with Allen Hainline, has also written a contributing chapter to The Story of the Cosmos - How The Heavens Declare the Glory of God.James Walker, the president of Watchman Fellowship, is a former fourth-generation Mormon with over twenty-five years of ministry experience in the field of Christian counter-cult evangelism, apologetics, and discernment.

Is it possible for us to become a god? Do mathematics tell us that there are many universes? Is there any evidence of other universes? This week and next on the Profile, we guarantee that in all of the some five million podcasts out there today, you won't likely find the the topics of Many Worlds, Mormonism, and Multiverses covered in the same episode. The next two episodes will be somewhat unique, but we think they cover a lot of lesser-known ideas that have some overlap. Many who leave the Latter-Day-Saint faith turn to atheism. But neither Mormonism nor an atheistic materialism are in accordance with the true story of the cosmos.Luke A. Barnes is a Senior Lecturer in astronomy and cosmology.

Welcome listeners to Astronomy Daily, your go-to source for the latest news and updates in the fascinating world of space and Astronomy. I'm your host, Anna, and today we have an exciting lineup of news stories to discuss. We'll kick things off with an intriguing study that challenges our assumptions about the rarity of intelligent alien life. Then we'll shift our focus to Scotland, where a rocket engine test at the Saxavord Spaceport led to an unexpected explosion. But don't worry, no one was injured. In more uplifting news, SpaceX has successfully launched 22 Starlink satellites into orbit using a new first stage booster, marking another milestone in their mission to expand global internet coverage. Lastly, we'll delve into the mysterious Omega Centauri cluster, where recent findings dispute the existence of a mid-sized black hole, pointing instead to a horde of smaller ones. So sit back, relax, and let's explore the universe together.- **Are We Alone in the Universe? A New Take on the Drake Equation**: Astronomers David Kipping from Columbia University and Geraint Lewis from the University of Sydney have taken a fresh look at the famous Drake equation, applying probabilistic logic to provide new insights. Their study suggests that life would either be present on nearly all Earth-like exoplanets or none of them at all, visualized as a U-shaped graph. This challenges our assumptions about the rarity of intelligent alien life and keeps the hope alive for finding extraterrestrial intelligence.- **Rocket Engine Explosion at Saxavord Spaceport**: An unexpected turn of events unfolded at the Saxavord Spaceport in Scotland when a rocket engine exploded in flames during a test. The incident, which took place in the Shetland Islands, was caught on BBC footage. Thankfully, the site had been evacuated prior to the test, and no injuries were reported. Despite this setback, the spaceport remains on track to potentially become the first British site to undertake a vertical satellite launch into space.- **SpaceX Launches 22 Starlink Satellites**: SpaceX has successfully launched 22 Starlink satellites into orbit, continuing their ambitious project to expand global internet coverage. The launch took place from the Cape Canaveral Space Launch Complex in Florida, featuring a brand new Falcon 9 first stage booster. This achievement marks the 80th landing on a drone ship and the 341st booster landing to date for SpaceX, showcasing their unparalleled capability in achieving consistent, reliable results.- **Mystery of Omega Centauri's Black Hole**: A new study challenges earlier findings that suggested the presence of an intermediate-mass black hole at the center of the Omega Centauri cluster. Instead, the latest research finds no substantial evidence for such a black hole, suggesting that a swarm of smaller black holes can equally explain the motion of fast-moving stars near the cluster's center. This ongoing debate highlights the complexities of deciphering celestial phenomena and showcases the vibrant nature of astronomical research.For more Astronomy Daily, including our continually updating newsfeed, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

Donald Macleod celebrates 80 years of "Composer of the Week" with a concert of music by Grace Williams and Hilary Tann, curated by Welsh music historian Rhian Davies, and performed by the BBC Singers in Hoddinott Hall in Cardiff Bay. Donald, together with Welsh music specialist Geraint Lewis and conductor and broadcaster Gwawr Owen, considers the part these two composers play in the history of Wales' vibrant choral tradition. Composer of the Week has been produced in Cardiff since 1999 so it's fitting that Donald is celebrating Welsh composers in this anniversary series. Across the week, he follows the stories of Grace Williams, Hilary Tann, Morfydd Owen, Dilys Elwyn-Edwards and Rhian Samuel. This quintet of composers were all born in Wales, and much of their music finds inspiration in their Welsh roots. Collectively their stories will take us from the 1890s to the present day. For the first time in "Composer of the Week's" long history, it was recorded live and in front of an audience. During the programme the BBC Singers showcase music by two composers Grace Williams and Hilary Tann, through their choral music. Music includes Williams' arrangements of Welsh folk-songs, and her masterly setting of Ave Maris Stella and we also hear Hilary Tann's settings of Welsh poets RS Thomas and Menna Elfyn. Trad. arr.

There is a disagreement in measurements of the Hubble constant often referred to as The Crisis in Cosmology. One way to solve it is to observe redshift drift. However, it requires lengthy observations. But my guest, Dr Geraint Lewis, has a hack up his sleeve — gravitational lensing.

A team of scientists, including a Kiwi, have for the first time observed the early universe running in extreme slow motion, unlocking one of the mysteries of Einstein's expanding universe. Because of the accelerating expansion of space, time in the early universe - when it was just a billion years old, is perceived as being five times slower than it is today. It's the first time the effect has been observed since it was first predicted by Albert Einstein more than a century ago. Quasars are supermassive black holes at the centres of early galaxies, and it was by unlocking their mysteries that the team was able to use them as 'clocks' to measure time near the beginning of the universe. Kathryn speaks to Professor Geraint Lewis, a professor of astrophysics at the University of Sydney and lead author of the study. He worked on this with University of Auckland statistician Brendon Brewer.
Geraint Lewis is a Professor of Astrophysics, and author of several books about the strange universe we find ourselves in. In this episode, Matt and Geraint discuss a wide range of topics at the heart of fundamental physics, including- the difference between cosmology and astrophysics- the origin of the universe and everything in it (big bang, inflation)- the fine-tuning problem in physics- the anthropic principle- simulated universes and simulated intelligence- the multiverseFind Geraint at:- Website: https://www.geraintflewis.com/- Twitter: https://twitter.com/Cosmic_HorizonsGeraint's books:- Where did the Universe come from?- The Cosmic Revolutionary's Handbook- A Fortunate UniversePODCAST INFO:- Website: https://paradigmpodcast.substack.com/- Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3IVDF2W- Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3oEZYmJ- Google Podcasts: https://bit.ly/paradigm-on-google- YouTube: https://bit.ly/paradigm-on-youtube- RSS: https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/1656558/s/65176.rssSUPPORT & CONNECT:- Follow, share with friends, and leave a 5-star review- Make a one-off donation: https://bit.ly/donate-to-paradigm- LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewgeleta/- Substack: https://paradigmpodcast.substack.com/- Twitter: https://twitter.com/MatthewGeletaMusic written and produced for the Paradigm Podcast by James Mckernan: jamesoctobermusic@gmail.com Get full access to Paradigm at paradigmpodcast.substack.com/subscribe

See the video of this episode here: https://youtu.be/bRCLzMS8Rck Is there evidence for God in the origin of Universe? What were Aristolte's contributions to science? How does a scientist come from a Young Earth Creationist background. Luke Barnes co-authored with Geraint Lewis, of A Fortunate Universe: Life in a Finely Tuned Cosmos published by Cambridge University Press. The book explores the last forty years of scientific evidence that if the Universe had been forged with even slightly different properties, life as we know it - and life as we can imagine it - would be impossible. This has profound implications about how we understand the Universe, from its most basic particles and forces, to planets, stars and galaxies, and back through cosmic history to the birth of the cosmos. Conflicting notions about our place in the Universe are defined, defended and critiqued from scientific, philosophical and religious viewpoints. The authors' engaging and witty style addresses what fine-tuning might mean for the future of physics and the search for the ultimate laws of nature. Luke A. Barnes is a Lecturer in astronomy and cosmology at Western Sydney University. He earned his PhD from the University of Cambridge, he has published papers in the field of galaxy formation and on the fine-tuning of the Universe for life. He is the author, with Geraint Lewis, of "A Fortunate Universe: Life in a Finely Tuned Cosmos" and "The Cosmic Revolutionary's Handbook: (Or: How to Beat the Big Bang)". He is a John Templeton Fellow. He has published papers in the fields of galaxy formation and the fine-tuning of the Universe for life. He has also published papers on the philosophy of science, and regularly engages in public outreach through public speaking, articles in the popular press, and social media. He has modeled galaxy formation in a cosmological context with supercomputer simulations, and connected those simulations to observations with modeling of radiative transfer (particularly Lyman alpha emission and absorption) and realistic models of IFU observations. twitter.com/lukebarnesastro 00:01:57 What is Luke's reaction to the Eric Lerner claim that the JWST proves the big bang never happened? 00:03:35 About the book “A Fortunate Universe” and what is “Fine Tuning” of the Universe? 00:06:11 Is the fine-tuning of the universe required for life? 00:08:00 How can we overcome an anthropic bias to the fine-tuning argument ? 00:13:30 What are some of the most salient principles or physical constants that, if different, would “break” the universe and prevent life from happening? 00:19:05 Is there a convincing argument for a teleological, intelligent creator? 00:24:30 Back to basics, what is this "science thing" anyway?

Do you ever look up to the stars and wonder about what is out there? Over the last few centuries, humans have successfully unraveled much of the language of the universe, exploring and defining formerly mysterious phenomena such as electricity, magnetism, and matter through the beauty of mathematics. But some secrets remain beyond our realm of understanding—and seemingly beyond the very laws and theories we have relied on to make sense of the universe we inhabit. It is clear that the quantum, the world of atoms and electrons, is entwined with the cosmos, a universe of trillions of stars and galaxies...but exactly how these two extremes of human understanding interact remains a mystery. Where Did the Universe Come From? And Other Cosmic Questions allows readers to eavesdrop on a conversation between award-winning physicists Chris Ferrie and Geraint F. Lewis as they examine the universe through the two unifying and yet often contradictory lenses of classical physics and quantum mechanics, tackling questions such as: Where did the universe come from? Why do dying stars rip themselves apart Do black holes last forever? What is left for humans to discover? Geraint Lewis is a Welsh astrophysicist, who is best known for his work on dark energy, gravitational lensing and galactic cannibalism. Lewis is a Professor of Astrophysics (Teaching and Research) at the Sydney Institute for Astronomy, part of the University of Sydney's School of Physics. He is head of the Gravitational Astrophysics Group. He was previously the Associate Head for Research at the School of Physics, and held an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship between 2011 and 2015. Lewis won the 2016 Walter Boas Medal in recognition of excellence in research in Physics. I In April 2020, Geraint was elected as a Fellow of the Learned Society of Wales. He is also an elected fellow of the Royal Society of New South Wales.

...in which we descend upon Coniston Water to talk all things Ransome with lifelong Swallows and Amazons devotees Paul Flint and Geraint Lewis. Embarking from Bank Ground – a familiar location to the young Arthur – we journey past springtime Brantwood before crossing to Coniston on Gondola, one of the inspirations for Captain Flint's houseboat. As we travel, we learn about formative Nibthwaite holidays in which Ransome fell in love with Lakeland; we talk about the Great Freeze of 1895, which an unhappy schoolboy was to return to with nostalgia in Winter Holiday; we discuss Russian adventures and the lure of Bohemia; and we discover why lifelong wanderer Ransome – who suffered ill health for much of his adult life – never quite found home. We close, besides Titty's grave, with a favourite Ransome excerpt from each of our guests. Paul and Geraint are trustees of the Arthur Ransome Trust. You can find out more about their work at arthur-ransome-trust.org.uk The exhibition 'Swallows and Amazons as Seen from Abroad' will run at Brantwood Saturday 18 June – Tuesday 9 August.

Today Dr Lucy and Dr Karl are joined by special guest astrophysicist Professor Geraint Lewis to answer all your questions from around the cosmos. Can you get moonburnt? Could we ever move at the speed of light? How did the big bang happen? What's on the other side of the universe? Dr Karl and Professor Geraint Lewis answer these questions and more on triple j Mornings with Lucy Smith.
In this episode, Professor Geraint Lewis projects forward trillions of years to predict what happens when the stars all run out of fuel.
In this episode, Professor Geraint Lewis looks at the theories of how our cosmos began, starting with Einstein and moving on to other theories by Russian Alexander Friedman and the Belgian cleric, Lemaitre. [...]Read More... from From the Quantum to the Cosmos Part 2:The Quantum of the Cosmos Past
In this final episode of From the Quantum to the Cosmos, Geraint talks about facing cosmic mysteries: what don't we understand? Well basically a lot - like 70% of the stuff of our universe: dark matter and dark energy, for a start! Once some great scientist discovers the Theory of Everything, that chasm between quantum mechanics and astrophysics will be joined and all will be understood.
El concepto erróneo es que los electrones transportan energía potencial alrededor de un circuito conductor completo, transfiriendo su energía a la carga.
