Some of the sharpest minds in physics have sat down in The Basement, each pushing at the edges of what we understand about reality. We start with the fundamentals, the Higgs boson, the Planck scale, the search for gravitons. Theories tested, published, and confirmed. From there, things get stranger. Entanglement, the double-slit experiment, the idea that reality itself is a simulation, and the possibility that the future is shaping the past right now. Physicists, astrophysicists, and researchers wrestling with the same question. Where does the universe stop making sense, and what happens after that. Learn more about your ad choices.

We conclude our series on the standard model with an introduction to gauge theory. We discuss how the requirement of local gauge invariance generates interaction terms in the Lagrangian, and introduce the U(1) x SU(2) x SU(3) group structure of the standard model. We also consider the problem of massive W and Z bosons, and how this was resolved by the introduction of the Higgs field and the mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking.

At Spirit Fest in Virginia Beach, Will and Karen "sit down" with Doron Shalev, a chemistry professor, crystallographer, and self-described skeptic who found his way into energy healing through an unlikely source: a stack of pandemic reading that started with crystal science and ended with a Reiki master teacher certification. Doron makes the scientific case for "woo," walking through the statistical thresholds researchers use to validate findings like the Higgs boson, and why many energy-healing studies actually clear a higher bar of statistical significance than science is willing to credit. The conversation turns personal when Doron describes healing his own arthritis through distance Reiki, a technique he says works better on himself than hands-on healing ever did. He also shares his shift from traditional Reiki symbols to Kabbalistic healing, using one of the 72 names of God in place of the Cho Ku Rei symbol, and describes how he reads chakra energy to figure out whether what he's sensing is emotional or physical. It's a rare conversation between a scientist and two skeptics-turned-believers, all circling the same question: what happens when the data starts pointing somewhere science hasn't caught up to yet. Guest: Doron ShalevFind him: https://doronshalev.com and at https://modernmysticproject.podia.comNew Reality TV is where this conversation lives alongside hundreds more just like it.

Women's health has long been underserved by research, leaving many women without the information they need to understand their own bodies. On this week's episode of the WHOOP Podcast, WHOOP Global Head of Human Performance and Principal Scientist Dr. Kristen Holmes sits down with Dr. Elina Berglund Scherwitzl, Co-Founder & CEO of Natural Cycles° and Nobel Prize-winning particle physicist. The conversation explores how data is transforming women's reproductive health.After helping discover the Higgs boson, Dr. Berglund Scherwitzl turned her expertise in physics and data science toward her own health journey by creating the world's first and only FDA-cleared birth control app. Together, Dr. Holmes and Dr. Berglund Scherwitzl discuss how wearable technology and physiological data are giving women unprecedented insight into fertility, pregnancy planning, menstrual health, and perimenopause.The conversation explores the new WHOOP and Natural Cycles° integration, designed to make women's health feel less overwhelming and more intuitive by combining continuous wearable data with advanced insights on fertility, hormonal health, and perimenopause. Dr. Holmes and Dr. Berglund Scherwitzl discuss how body temperature and other biomarkers reveal hormonal changes, why perimenopause often begins earlier than many women realize, and how passive, personalized insights can reduce uncertainty, ease mental load, and empower women to make informed decisions about their health at every stage of life.(00:00) Cold Open (00:37) Meet The Scientist Behind Natural Cycles°(01:00) Why Dr. Berglund Scherwitzl Started Natural Cycles°(04:35) The Only FDA-Cleared Birth Control App(05:54) The WHOOP x Natural Cycles° Partnership(07:51) The Early Signs of Perimenopause (And How To Track Them)(13:08) What Really Happens To Your Hormones Over Time(17:34) Why Understanding Your Body Changes Everything(19:09) Your Sleep Could Reveal Early Signs of Perimenopause(22:03) The Small Habits That Make A Big Difference(24:14) The Most Common Menstrual Cycle Myths(26:09) What Your Wearable Can Tell You About Your Hormones(27:07) The Truth About Fertility Timing(29:16) Knowing Which Symptoms Matter Most(31:36) HRT: What Women Should Know(34:10) What You Can Expect From The WHOOP x Natural Cycles° Partnership(37:05) The Future of Women's HealthFollow Dr. Elina Berglund Scherwitzl:LinkedInWebsiteFollow Natural Cycles°:InstagramYouTubeWebsiteSupport the showFollow WHOOP:Sign up for WHOOP Advanced LabsTrial WHOOP for Freewww.whoop.comInstagramTikTokYouTubeXFacebookLinkedInFollow Will Ahmed:InstagramXLinkedInFollow Kristen Holmes:InstagramLinkedInFollow Emily Capodilupo:LinkedIn

This episode we look at Blade Runner (1982) (dir. Ridley Scott) and its sequel Blade Runner 2049 (2017) (dir. Denis Villeneuve), two films that imagine a world where the line between human and machine, creation and creator, has all but vanished. Ridley Scott's 1982 classic depicted a rain-soaked dystopia where “replicants”—bio-engineered beings—fight for recognition, identity, and life itself. Denis Villeneuve's 2017 sequel deepens that vision. Law operates in the shadows across both films: as surveillance, classification, and control. The “blade runners” themselves enforce a form of administrative violence that exposes the limits of legal personhood. What does it mean to have rights without recognition, or to be alive without legal existence? And conversely, what are the implications of recognizing rights and legal personhood in robots? In this episode, we'll examine these and other themes around artificial intelligence, migration, colonization, and bioethics as well as the way films themselves can contribute to and shape public perceptions about these issues. Timestamps:0:00     Introduction2:45      Emotion and memory in robots8:08      Slave labor and robot rebellion9:54      Generative AI and other changes since the first Blade Runner 15:16      Robots giving birth20:19     Robot rights24:17      A new category of companion32:56    Filmic depictions of AI38:01     “Time to Die”43:21     The political economy of AI development47:22     A dystopian vision of data and surveillance52:18     A positive post-human future?57:58     Concepts of immortalityFurther reading:Almog, Shulamit, “When a Robot Can Love – Blade Runner as a Cautionary Tale on Law and Technology,” in Ius Gentium: Comparative Perspectives on Law and Justice (Jan. 1, 2013)Birhane, Abeba, van Dijk Jelle, and Pasquale, Frank, “Debunking Robot Rights Metaphysically, Ethically, and Legally,” 29(4) First Monday (2024)Darling, Kate, The New Breed: What Our History with Animals Reveals about Our Future with Robots (2021)Dick, Philip K., Do Androids Dream of Sheep (1968)Lewis, C.S., Abolition of Man (1943)Oliver, Kendra H., Higgs, Oliver S., and Clayton, J., “The End of Genetic Privacy in the Blade Runner Canon,” 14 (1/2) Journal of Literature and Science 108 (Dec. 2022)Pasquale, Frank, “Cultural Foundations for Conserving Human Capacities Amidst Generative Artificial Intelligence: Toward a Philosophico-Literary Critique of Simulation,” in Being Human (B.

Durante décadas, fomos ensinados a acreditar que Ciência e Espiritualidade caminhavam em direções opostas. A ciência seria responsável por explicar o mundo tangível e material, enquanto a espiritualidade ficaria relegada aos campos do inexplicável.

Hoje, neurocientistas, físicos e os maiores gênios do Vale do Silício estão reavaliando o que realmente sabemos sobre a realidade. Neste vídeo inédito, mergulhamos nas descobertas da física moderna, como o Bóson de Higgs — a famosa "Partícula de Deus" — e o entrelaçamento quântico, que evidenciam que o universo não é um vasto vazio, mas um campo invisível e altamente conectado.

On October 27, 2008, Jodi Lynne Torok was at her Crofton, MD home talking on the phone with her close friend, Blair Wolfe, when a man, purporting to be a salesman, knocked on her front door. Jodi ended the call to respond to the so-called salesman, but thereafter never called Ms. Wolfe back or answered any of Wolfe's subsequent telephone calls. Growing increasingly concerned, Ms. Wolfe telephoned the victim's roommate, and requested that she leave work and return home to make sure that the victim was safe. Upon arriving at the residence that she shared with the victim, Ms. Higgs found the front door unlocked and the victim lying on the foyer, unconscious and bleeding from a gunshot wound to her head. At the time, she was two months pregnant. As a result of the gunshot wound, the victim's pregnancy was terminated, and she suffered severe and disabling injuries. The State developed a theory that, Charles Martin was in a relationship with the victim and upon learning of Torok’s refusal to obtain an abortion, solicited a friend to kill Torok and assisted Burks in the murder. The State charged Martin with solicitation of murder and accessory before the fact to attempted murder in the first degree. He was convicted and sentence to life in prison.

I think this was one of my most enjoyable dialogues in our What's new series. Maybe Sabine and I are getting more used to each other's cadence and interests or maybe it was the subject matter. Either way, I think you will find this to be a fascinating and provocative discussion of science at the forefront, and at the not-so-forefront, because that science is interesting too!We began our discussion describing a new finding of a Giant Ring of galaxies billions of light years across in the sky. The key questions are: Is it real? And is it surprising? We both have slightly different takes on this.Next we described a new measurement of the strength of gravity on scales from 80 to 800 million light years in distance. And guess what? Gravity falls off just like Newton predicted! This may seem like a big yawn, but one of the most popular models that claims to do away with dark matter would imply that Gravity would fall off differently on these scales. Does this new result kill that idea? Stay tuned.Microsoft, which has cried wolf a number of times so far when it comes to something called Majorana qubits as the basis of a new viable quantum computer just published a new paper claiming they finally have it. Sabine and I discuss why we are both still skeptical, but why the effort is worth it.Next, CERN, the large European particle physics laboratory, and the world particle physics community seem to have converged on plans for building a huge new accelerator in the current CERN site.. this time involving an underground ring 91 km in circumference, in which electrons and positrons would collide to explore the detailed properties of the Higgs particle. Is the effort worth it? Again, Sabine and I have slightly different takes on this.Fusion power, which we have talked about in a number of earlier episodes, continues to tempt humanity with the promise of unlimited energy. Many people, myself included, have tended to argue that fusion seems to be 25 years in the future, and may always be 25 years in the future. But many new efforts are underway, so who knows. Unfortunately, a group of economists has analyzed fusion in the context of other large energy programs and have argued that even if we can achieve it, it may not be as economically viable as many claim. Finally, one day Richard Feynman went to a Thai restaurant with his young companion Ralph Leighton, and wondered what he should order. Should it be the same old dish he loved or something new. An equation filled napkin later, and he had the answer. Fifty years later some cognitive scientists resurrected Feynman's napkin and explained it, and argued it might have important implications in other social situations. Such is the power of science.As always, an ad-free video version of this podcast is also available to paid Critical Mass subscribers.

El Bosón de Higgs, también llamado la "Partícula de Dios", es como el pegamento secreto que mantiene unido al universo. Los científicos lo teorizaron por primera vez hace décadas, pero no fue descubierto realmente hasta 2012 en el Gran Colisionador de Hadrones. Sin él, los átomos no tendrían masa, lo que significa que todo—estrellas, planetas, incluso tú—podría no existir de la forma en que lo hacemos ahora.

God Bless the Great People of Iran! – @realDonaldTrump (Apr 07, 2026, 6:06 AM) Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE! The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East. We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated.

Matt Trump returns to CERN for a deep dive into the latest announcement from the Large Hadron Collider, where scientists claim to have discovered a new “doubly charmed” heavy proton. He walks through what this particle actually is, how it fits into quark theory, and why discoveries like this are considered incremental rather than revolutionary within the current standard model of physics. Along the way, Matt breaks down complex concepts like energy, particle composition, and how physicists use familiar words in highly specific ways that can easily confuse non-experts. He also revisits earlier discussions on CERN, the Higgs boson, and the broader narrative surrounding particle physics, separating foundational science from the folklore and speculation that often surrounds it.

We give to those in need. We serve God. We do not worry. We treat others how we want to be treated. We pray. We walk the narrow road. We bear Godly fruit. We have a firm foundation. In This House is a 13 week sermon series through the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7), where Jesus shows the crowds what life in the Kingdom of God truly looks like. More than rules or religion, these teachings reveal a transformed way of living—shaped by grace, integrity, trust, and wholehearted devotion to God. The scripture for week 5 is John 15:18-25, Matthew 5:43-48, and Titus 2:11-14.

Luis and Angelo dive into one of the most important scientific discoveries in modern history – the Higgs boson, often called the “God Particle.”  In 2012, after decades of theory and trillions of high-speed particle collisions at the world's largest lab in Switzerland, a global team of more than 10,000 scientists confirmed the existence of an invisible field that gives fundamental particles the mass necessary to form the reality around us.  But what exactly is the Higgs field, and why does it matter for the existence of atoms, stars, and life itself?  The guys break down the Large Hadron Collider, the decades-long race to uncover the final missing piece of particle physics, and the deeper mysteries that remain – including dark matter, the origins of the universe, and whether reality itself – including consciousness – may be far more complex than we imagine.

Witness to Yesterday (The Champlain Society Podcast on Canadian History)

Nicole O'Byrne speaks with Gabriel Arsenault about his book The Higgs Years. Blaine Higgs was the premier of New Brunswick from 2018 to 2024. Leading his Progressive Conservative Party through six years of headline-making policy, in September 2024 he called an election, trying and failing to become the first premier since Liberal leader Frank McKenna to win three consecutive terms in that province. The Higgs Years analyzes Higgs's premiership, particularly in terms of his party's electoral pledge fulfillment record. Contributors portray Higgs as both a unifier and a divider: he successfully reduced New Brunswick's public debt, implemented ambitious governance reforms, and managed the province's response to the COVID-19 pandemic in a bipartisan manner. Yet he also intensified ethnic and linguistic divisions, embraced an executive style of governance, and emphasized wedge issues, such as abortion restrictions and gender identity in schools. While Higgs largely avoided divisiveness in critical areas such as housing, health care, and the environment, he was nonetheless known to alternate between being a unifying and a polarizing leader. Drawing on original data from the Polimeter, a nonpartisan tool that measures whether politicians keep the promises they make, The Higgs Years raises vital questions about the integrity of the relationship between voters and their government in New Brunswick. Gabriel Arsenault is associate professor of political science at the Université de Moncton and associate researcher at the Donald J. Savoie Institute.

Dünyanın Sonuna Yolculuk'un yedinci bölümünde Can Öz ve Ümit Alan, modern fiziğin en rahatsız edici ihtimallerinden birini masaya yatırıyor: sahte vakum çökmesi. Bu teoriye göre evren, hiçbir uyarı olmadan, ışık hızında yayılan bir süreçle bir anda yok olabilir. Vakum kavramının fizikte ne anlama geldiği, Higgs alanının evrenin kararlılığındaki rolü, kuantum tünelleme ve yarı kararlı bir evrende yaşadığımız ihtimali bölümün ana eksenini oluşturuyor. 1970'lerden bu yana tartışılan bu senaryonun 2024'te laboratuvar ortamında nasıl test edildiği ve bu tür bir yok oluşun neden bir patlama değil mutlak bir sessizlik olduğu, bilimsel merakla varoluşsal tedirginlik arasında ele alınıyor.

New Year's Eve always comes with that familiar urge to clean the slate, toss out what didn't hold up, and keep what actually earned its place. That's basically the spirit of our latest “What's New in Science” episode with Sabine Hossenfelder.We began with the season's favorite shiny object: wormholes. The headlines have been everywhere, but we talked through why most of these stories quietly slide from “a speculative tool in a model” to “a virtual phenomenon that might be useful in calculations.” Traversable wormholes of course still run straight into hard constraints like negative energy and the time machine problem.From there we moved to something much more grounded: CERN. ATLAS has now observed the Higgs decaying into muon pairs, which is exactly the kind of precise confirmation you want for the Standard Model, and while it is yet another remarkable confirmation of how well the fundamental feature of the Standard Model works, it once again sharpens the contrast with the inexplicable nature of the only feature that doesn't seem to fit: neutrino masses. And it leaves us hanging about where to look next.We next spent time on what the future might look like for big particle collider projects and what it says about the field's priorities, including the signal sent by China's latest five-year plan, which no longer features a massive circular collider proposal. We touched on a smaller CERN result as well, and used it to reflect on a broader point: some of the most stubborn, interesting physics lives in regimes that are messy rather than glamorous.Then we took a quick detour into a quantum gravity-adjacent proposal about whether the way we average quantities in general relativity could matter for quantum corrections, and finally landed on a genuinely satisfying closer: OSIRIS-REx's Bennu samples. Finding ribose alongside other prebiotic building blocks makes it harder to dismiss the idea that the chemistry of life might be widespread, and not a once-only cosmic fluke.I hope you enjoy the episode, and I hope you're welcoming the new year surrounded by friends and family.

Certain features of our universe seem unnatural to us. These include "constants of nature" such as the cosmological constant and the mass of the Higgs boson, as well as features of the initial conditions like the curvature of space and the initial entropy. But they can't truly be "unnatural" -- they are literally features of Nature itself. Some have turned to the anthropic principle and the multiverse, while others look to theism for an explanation. I talk here about my views on the various attitudes one might take toward these apparent fine-tunings, and why it is important to think about them.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025/10/06/331-solo-fine-tuning-god-and-the-multiverse/Support Mindscape on Patreon.Some readings of relevance:Livio and Rees, Fine-Tuning, Complexity, and Life in the MultiverseCarroll, In What Sense Is the Early Universe Fine-Tuned?Barnes, A Reasonable Little Question: A Formulation of the Fine-Tuning ArgumentGoff, Our Improbable Existence Is No Evidence for a MultiverseNeal, Puzzles of Anthropic Reasoning Resolved Using Full Non-indexical ConditioningSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
