Welcome, dear listener, to this sacred source of becoming —where philosophy meets spirit, where ancient wisdom breathes through modern awareness. Today, we journey into one of the deepest questions ever asked: What is the nature of existence? No we will not be discussing Higgs-Boson particles or string theory or 11 dimensional geometry, parallel universes or anything like that. Instead, pause for a moment. Feel your breath. Notice your awareness. The very fact that you are here—listening, perceiving, questioning—is itself part of the great mystery we're exploring.  Why are we here? What is our purpose? How are we supposed to live? Existence is not merely something we observe. It is something we are. We will experience this and many other ontological concepts Here on the SASO podcast.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into the foundations of belief, authority, and the very nature of reality itself. Beginning with a challenge to external authority and dogmatic belief systems, the conversation moves through science, spirituality, and philosophy to uncover a single, liberating truth: what we seek outside of ourselves is already within.The journey starts with a recognition of how belief can imprison us. To hold too tightly to ideology - whether religious, political, or philosophical - is to risk surrendering our internal authority to external systems. From there, the exploration unfolds into a discussion of the “Matrix” of control and the ways in which government, religion, corporations, and even technology act as projections of what we have forgotten about ourselves.From science, we explore the neutrino field as an informational network, carrying energy that imprints us from the moment of our birth. We enter the Higgs Boson, often called the “God particle,” as a metaphor for manifestation. Through vivid imagery - the Higgs Boson entering a crowded room, slowed and condensed by attention - we discover how intention pulls energy into form. What appears as thin air becomes matter, illustrating how consciousness itself participates in creation.This episode also tackles the concept of reincarnation from a perspective beyond religion. Rather than accepting it because prophets and sages taught it, we approach reincarnation as a hypothesis that yields the most benevolent results. If we are destined to return, then every action taken now shapes the future world we inherit. From this standpoint, reincarnation becomes an ecological ethic, urging us to build a utopia today for the generations - and the future selves - who will live in it.At the core of the teaching is a powerful statement: “What we are looking for is what we are looking with.” External authorities - governments for safety, corporations for creativity, religion for peace, banks for freedom, AI for knowledge - are shadows of what we already carry within. They are projections, copies of the original source, but never as powerful as what was copied. The body itself is revealed as a bridge, a four-layer bio-suit that channels consciousness both inward and outward.The episode closes with a return to goodness - not the duality of good versus bad, but the realization that consciousness itself is good. To be alive, to perceive, to think, to feel - this is evidence of the unlimited nature of who we are. Seeking authority or truth outside of ourselves is an illusion. Freedom lies in remembering that everything we need has always been within us.This conversation is both a dismantling and a rebuilding: dismantling the external structures we give power to, and rebuilding trust in our own consciousness. It is a call to reclaim authority, embrace responsibility, and recognize the infinite potential that resides within.Listen in, brother, and remember: what you're looking for is what you're looking with.

In de Diepte is terug! Vanaf volgende week hoor je de eerste twee afleveringen van het derde seizoen. Na Terug naar de Oerknal met Govert Schilling en Baan door het Brein met Iris Sommer is het nu tijd voor een nieuw avontuur: Reis naar de kern. Een fascinerende duik in de wereld van de allerkleinste deeltjes, waar de allergrootste vragen worden beantwoord. Waar is alle materie uit opgebouwd, en welke wetten volgen die deeltjes om alles op aarde en de rest van het heelal vorm te geven? Wat is antimaterie, en wat heeft quantumtheorie daarmee te maken? Je denkt misschien dat dat ver van je normale belevingswereld afstaat, maar al deze inzichten worden dagelijks gebruikt. Van de GPS op je telefoon, tot de scanners in ziekenhuizen. Reis naar de kern wordt gepresenteerd door Ivo van Vulpen, deeltjesonderzoeker bij CERN in Genève en verbonden aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam. In vijf afleveringen zoomen we in op de wereld van het atoom, de quantummechanica, antimaterie en de ontdekking van het Higgs Boson.

We use the idea of the multiverse as a prop to somehow comfort us into thinking there may be an overlap of quantum material that comes into existence and then somehow disappears, and collective memory becomes faulty. This is what we call the Mandela Effect. Most scholars who call the Mandela Effect the Quantum Effect say that this phenomenon began around 2012, which is the same time scientists at CERN discovered the God Particle or the Higgs-Boson. What if these memories only appear identical, and the differences are so insignificant that realities are indistinguishable from one another?

The Higgs Boson, also called the "God Particle," is like the secret glue holding the universe together! Scientists first theorized it decades ago, but it wasn't actually discovered until 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider. Without it, atoms wouldn't have mass, meaning everything—stars, planets, even you—might not exist the way we do now.

The existence of the Higgs Boson, a particle that had eluded scientists for over 40 years, was finally proven. You know what? I feel that this elusive quest is very similar to our own pursuit in the world of service design: proving the undeniable business value of design. We see its impact all around us, but providing it with hard evidence remains a struggle. Our guest this week, Ryan Rumsey, may hold the key that gets us closer to unlocking this mystery. One reason the Higgs Boson took so long to find was that the researchers were unsure where to look. As former Apple executive, author of "Business Thinking for Designers," and founder of the Chief Design Officer School, Ryan proposes that we, just as the researchers at CERN, may have been looking in the wrong place all along. Many companies, he argues, don't actually need (good) design to turn a profit, which makes it difficult to isolate its added value. But fear not, there are tested and tried methods to uncover the correlation between our work and its impact on the bottom line. As you'll hear in this episode, it might not be as complex as we sometimes are made to believe; it could simply be a matter of putting in the work. The discovery of the Higgs Boson faced similar challenges, requiring unwavering determination and persistence. This is an episode about business speak, statistics and our self-worth. And somehow, it's still quite entertaining if you ask me. So if you're even remotely interested being able to clearly articulate the value you bring to your organization, you don't miss out on this one! I echo Ryan's argument that every design professional, even those in-house, should embrace an entrepreneurial spirit. Understanding marketing, positioning, and even sales can be immensely beneficial. Ryan is truly one of a kind, and I'm always grateful to be able to learn from him. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did. ~ Marc --- [ 1.

Tonight, we have the privilege of welcoming physicist Don Lincoln as our special guest. He is here to share his groundbreaking work utilizing the Large Hadron Collider located in Switzerland, also known as CERN.   You can get his book The Large Hadron Collider: The Extraordinary Story of The Higgs Boson and Other Stuff That Will Blow Your Mind on Amazon. An insider's history of the world's largest particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider: why it was built, how it works, and the importance of what it has revealed. Since 2008, scientists have conducted experiments in a hyperenergized, 17-mile supercollider beneath the border of France and Switzerland. The Large Hadron Collider (or what scientists call "the LHC") is one of the wonders of the modern world―a highly sophisticated scientific instrument designed to re-create in miniature the conditions of the universe as they existed in the microseconds following the big bang. Among many notable LHC discoveries, one led to the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics for revealing evidence of the existence of the Higgs boson, the so-called God particle.  Picking up where he left off in The Quantum Frontier, physicist Don Lincoln shares an insider's account of the LHC's operational history and gives readers everything they need to become well informed on this marvel of technology.  Writing about the LHC's early days, Lincoln offers keen insight into an accident that derailed the operation nine days after the collider's 2008 debut. A faulty solder joint started a chain reaction that caused a massive explosion, damaged 50 superconducting magnets, and vaporized large sections of the conductor. The crippled LHC lay dormant for over a year, while technical teams repaired the damage. Lincoln devotes an entire chapter to the Higgs boson and Higgs field, using several extended analogies to help explain the importance of these concepts to particle physics. In the final chapter, he describes what the discovery of the Higgs boson tells us about our current understanding of basic physics and how the discovery now keeps scientists awake over a nagging inconsistency in their favorite theory. As accessible as it is fascinating, The Large Hadron Collider reveals the inner workings of this masterful achievement of technology, along with the mind-blowing discoveries that will keep it at the center of the scientific frontier for the foreseeable future.

When it comes to the eventual end of our universe, cosmologists have a few classic theories: the Big Crunch, where the universe reverses its expansion and contracts again, setting the stars themselves on fire in the process. Or the Big Rip, where the universe expands forever—but in a fundamentally unstable way that tears matter itself apart. Or it might be heat death, in which matter and energy become equally distributed in a cold, eventless soup.These theories have continued to evolve as we gain new understandings from particle accelerators and astronomical observations. As our understanding of fundamental physics advances, new ideas about the ending are joining the list. Take vacuum decay, a theory that's been around since the 1970s, but which gained new support when CERN confirmed detection of the Higgs Boson particle. The nice thing about vacuum decay, writes cosmologist Dr. Katie Mack in her book The End of Everything: (Astrophysically Speaking), is that it could happen at any time, and would be almost instantaneous—painless, efficient.The End Of Everything is our SciFri Book Club pick for April—you can join in on the community conversation and maybe even win a free book on our book club page. In this interview from 2020, Mack joins Ira to talk about the diversity of universe-ending theories, and how cosmologists like her think about the big questions, like where the universe started, how it might end, and what happens after it does.Also, Nobel Prize-winning psychologist Dr. Daniel Kahneman died this week at the age of 90. His work turned many traditional ideas about economics upside-down, arguing that people often make bad decisions that go against their own self-interest. It's something he continued to study throughout his career, and that he wrote about in the 2022 book Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment. At the end of this segment, we revisit an interview from 2022 with Kahneman in remembrance of his long career studying cognitive biases.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

The Gulf Stream, also known as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), is essential to stable global climate, and the reason we have moderate temperatures in Northern Europe. Now, a new modelling study suggests that this circulation could, at some point, be at a tipping point and collapse. We hear from one of the minds behind the model, post-doctoral researcher René van Westen from Utrecht University. But how likely is it that this will actually happen in the real world? Presenter Victoria Gill speaks to Jonathan Bamber who cautions that a gulf stream collapse is not imminent, and that it may just weaken slowly over time. Every summer in the Hudson Bay, on the Eastern side of Arctic Canada, the sea ice melts and the region's polar bears head inland. But that ice-free season is getting longer, depriving the bears of that frozen platform that they use to pounce on their favourite prey – seals. So what do the bears do all summer? Research Wildlife Biologist Karyn Rode shares how she and her colleagues put a collar with video cameras on 20 polar bears, and what it revealed about their lives. Is CERN finally going to get a gigantic new particle accelerator? Almost exactly one decade ago, Roland Pease reported from Switzerland about the very first meeting about the successor of the Large Hadron Collider which was used to discover the Higgs Boson. Now there's an update to the story. Roland is back to tell Vic how far along CERN is with their plans, and how much more time and money it will take to build the Future Circular Collider. Lovers of certain famous, creamy French cheeses could be in for a bit of a shock. Camembert and Brie are facing extinction as we know them! The Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) in Paris has stated that, over the last 100 years, the food and farming industry has placed too much pressure on the production of these types of cheeses. Now, the fungus traditionally used to grow the famous, fluffy white rinds has been cloned to a point where the lack of diversity in its genetic makeup means it can no longer be reproduced. Turophiles must learn to appreciate more diversity of tastes, colours and textures to protect the cheeses' future.
