Editor's note: CuspAI raised a $100m Series A in September and is rumored to have reached a unicorn valuation. They have all-star advisors from Geoff Hinton to Yann Lecun and team of deep domain experts to tackle this next frontier in AI applications.In this episode, Max Welling traces the thread connecting quantum gravity, equivariant neural networks, diffusion models, and climate-focused materials discovery (yes, there is one!!!).We begin with a provocative framing: experiments as computation. Welling describes the idea of a “physics processing unit”—a world in which digital models and physical experiments work together, with nature itself acting as a kind of processor. It's a grounded but ambitious vision of AI for science: not replacing chemists, but accelerating them.Along the way, we discuss:* Why symmetry and equivariance matter in deep learning* The tradeoff between scale and inductive bias* The deep mathematical links between diffusion models and stochastic thermodynamics* Why materials—not software—may be the real bottleneck for AI and the energy transition* What it actually takes to build an AI-driven materials platformMax reflects on moving from curiosity-driven theoretical physics (including work with Gerard ‘t Hooft) toward impact-driven research in climate and energy. The result is a conversation about convergence: physics and machine learning, digital models and laboratory experiments, long-term ambition and incremental progress.Full Video EpisodeTimestamps* 00:00:00 – The Physics Processing Unit (PPU): Nature as the Ultimate Computer* Max introduces the idea of a Physics Processing Unit — using real-world experiments as computation.* 00:00:44 – From Quantum Gravity to AI for Materials* Brandon frames Max's career arc: VAE pioneer → equivariant GNNs → materials startup founder.* 00:01:34 – Curiosity vs Impact: How His Motivation Evolved* Max explains the shift from pure theoretical curiosity to climate-driven impact.* 00:02:43 – Why CaspAI Exists: Technology as Climate Strategy* Politics struggles; technology scales.

Which is you have digital processing units and then you have physics processing units. So it's basically nature doing computations for you. It's the fastest computer known, as possible even. It's a bit hard to program because you have to do all these experiments. Those are quite bulky, it's like a very large thing you have to do. But in a way it is a computation and that's the way I want to see it. You can do computations in a data center and then you can ask nature to do some computations. Your interface with nature is a bit more complicated. But then these things will have to seamlessly work together to get to a new material that you're interested in.[01:00:44:14 - 01:01:34:08]Brandon: Yeah, it's a pleasure to have Max Woehling as a guest today. Max has done so much over his career that I've been so excited about. If you're in the deep learning community, you probably know Max for his work on variational autocoders, which has literally stood the test of prime or officially stood the test of prime. If you are a scientist, you probably know him for his like, binary work on graph neural networks on equivariance. And if you're a material science, you probably know him about his new startup, CASPAI. Max has a long history doing lots of cool problems. You started in quantum gravity, which is I think very different than all of these other things you worked on. The first question for AI engineers and for scientists, what is the thread in how you think about problems? What is the thread in the type of things which excite you? And how do you decide what is the next big thing you want to work on?[01:01:34:08 - 01:02:41:13]Max: So it has actually evolved a lot. In my young days, let's breathe, I would just follow what I would find super interesting. I have kind of this sensor. I think many people have, but maybe not really sort of use very much, which is like, you get this feeling about getting very excited about some problem. Like it could be, what's inside of a black hole or what's at the boundary of the universe or what are quantum mechanics actually all about. And so I follow that basically throughout my career. But I have to say that as you get older, this changes a little bit in the sense that there's a new dimension coming to it and there's this impact. Going in two-dimensional quantum gravity, you pretty much guaranteed there's going to be no impact on what you do relative, maybe a few papers, but not in this world, this energy scale. As I get closer to retirement, which is fortunately still 10 years away or so, I do want to kind of make a positive impact in the world. And I got pretty worried about climate change.[01:02:43:15 - 01:03:19:11]Max: I think politics seems to have a hard time solving it, especially these days. And so I thought better work on it from the technology side. And that's why we started CaspAI. But there's also a lot of really interesting science problems in material science. And so it's kind of combining both the impact you can make with it as well as the interesting science. So it's sort of these two dimensions, like working on things which you feel there's like, well, there's something very deep going on here. And on the other hand, trying to build tools that can actually make a real impact in the world.[01:03:19:11 - 01:03:39:23]RJ: So the thread that when I look back, look at the different things that you worked out, some of them seem pretty connected, like the physics to equivariance and, yeah, and, uh, gravitational networks, maybe. And that seems to be somewhat related to Casp. Do you have a thread through there?[01:03:39:23 - 01:06:52:16]Max: Yeah. So physics is the thread. So having done, you know, spent a lot of time in theoretical physics, I think there is first very fundamental and exciting questions, like things that haven't actually been figured out in quantum gravity. So that is really the frontier. There's also a lot of mathematical tools that you can use, right? In, for instance, in particle physics, but also in general relativity, sort of symmetry space to play an enormously important role. And this goes all the way to gauge symmetries as well. And so applying these kinds of symmetries to, uh, machine learning was actually, you know, I thought of it as a very deep and interesting mathematical problem. I did this with Taco Cohen and Taco was the main driver behind this, went all the way from just simple, like rotational symmetries all the way to gauge symmetries on spheres and stuff like that. So, and, uh, Maurice Weiler, who's also here, um, when he was a PhD student, he was a very good student with me, you know, he wrote an entire book, which I can really recommend about the role of symmetries in AI and machine learning. So I find this a very deep and interesting problem. So more recently, so I've taken a sort of different path, which is the relationship between diffusion models and that field called stochastic thermodynamics. This is basically the thermodynamics, which is a theory of equilibrium. So but then formulated for out of equilibrium systems. And it turns out that the mathematics that we use for diffusion models, but even for reinforcement learning for Schrodinger bridges for MCMC sampling has the same mathematics as this theoretical, this physical theory of non-equilibrium systems. And that got me very excited. And actually, uh, when I taught a course in, um, Mauschenberg, uh, it is South Africa, close to Cape Town at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences Ames. And I turned that into a book site. Two years later, the book was finished. I've sent it to the publisher. And this is about the deep relationship between free energy, diffusion models, basically generative AI and stochastic thermodynamics. So it's always some kind of, I don't know, I find physics very deep. I also think a lot about quantum mechanics and it's, it's, it's a completely weird theory that actually nobody really understands. And there's a very interesting story, which is maybe good to tell to connect sort of my PZ back to where I'm now. So I did my PZ with a Nobel Laureate, Gerard the toft. He says the most brilliant man I've ever met. He was never wrong about anything as long as I've seen him. And now he says quantum mechanics is wrong and he has a new theory of quantum mechanics. Nobody understands what he's saying, even though what he's writing down is not mathematically very complex, but he's trying to address this understandability, let's say of quantum mechanics head on. And I find it very courageous and I'm completely fascinated by it. So I'm also trying to think about, okay, can I actually understand quantum mechanics in a more mundane way? So that, you know, without all the weird multiverses and collapses and stuff like that. So the physics is always been the threat and I'm trying to apply the physics to the machine learning to build better algorithms.[01:06:52:16 - 01:07:05:15]Brandon: You are still very involved in understanding and understanding physics and the worlds. Yeah. And just like applications to machine learning or introducing no formalisms. That's really cool.[01:07:05:15 - 01:07:18:02]Max: Yes, I would say I'm not contributing much to physics, but I'm contributing to the interface between physics and science. And that's called AI for science or science or AI is kind of a super, it's actually a new discipline that's emerging.[01:07:18:02 - 01:07:18:19]Speaker 5: Yeah.[01:07:18:19 - 01:07:45:14]Max: And it's not just emerging, it's exploding, I would say. That's the better term because I know you go from investments into like in the hundreds of millions now in the billions. So there's now actually a startup by Jeff Bezos that is at 6.2 billion sheep round. Right. Insane. I guess it's the largest startup ever, I think. And that's in this field, AI for science. It tells you something that we are creating a new bubble here.[01:07:46:15 - 01:07:53:28]Brandon: So why do you think it is? What has changed that has motivated people to start working on AI for science type problems?[01:07:53:28 - 01:08:49:17]Max: So there's two reasons actually. One is that people have been applying sort of the new tools from AI to the sciences, which is quite natural. And there's of course, I think there's two big examples, protein folding is a big one. And the other one is machine learning forest fields or something called machine learning inter-atomic potentials. Both of them have been actually very successful. Both also had something to do with symmetries, which is a little cool. And sort of people in the AI sciences saw an opportunity to apply the tools that they had developed beyond advertised placement, right, or multimedia applications into something that could actually make a very positive impact in society like health, drug development, materials for the energy transition, carbon capture. These are all really cool, impactful applications.[01:08:50:19 - 01:09:42:14]Max: Despite that, the science and the kind of the is also very interesting. I would say the fact that these sort of these two fields are coming together and that we're now at the point that we can actually model these things effectively and move the needle on some of these sort of science sort of methodologies is also a very unique moment, I would say. People recognize that, okay, now we're at the cusp of something new, where it results whether the company is called after. We're at the cusp of something new. And of course that always creates a lot of energy. It's like, okay, there's something, it's like sort of virgin field. It's like nobody's green field. Nobody's been there. I can rush in and I can sort of start harvesting there, right? And I think that's also what's causing a lot of sort of enthusiasm in the fields.[01:09:42:14 - 01:10:12:18]RJ: If you're an AI engineer, basically if the people that listen to this podcast will be in the field, then you maybe don't have a strong science background. How does, but are excited. Most I would say most AI practitioners, BM engineers or scientists would consider themselves scientists and they have some background, a little bit of physics, a little bit of industry college, maybe even graduate school that have been working or are starting out. How does somebody who is not a scientist on a day-to-day basis, how do they get involved?[01:10:12:18 - 01:10:14:28]Max: Well, they can read my book once it's out.[01:10:16:07 - 01:11:05:24]Max: This is basically saying that there is more, we should create curricula that are on this interface. So I'm not sure there is, also we already have some universities actual courses you can take, maybe online courses you can take. These workshops where we are now are actually very good as well. And we should probably have more tutorials before the workshop starts. Actually we've, I've kind of proposed this at some point. It's like maybe first have an hour of a tutorial so that people can get new into the field. There's a lot out there. Most of it is of course inaccessible, but I would say we will create much more books and other contents that is more accessible, including this podcast I would say. So I think it will come. And these days you can watch videos and things. There's a huge amount of content you can go and see.[01:11:05:24 - 01:11:28:28]Brandon: So maybe a follow-up to that. How do people learn and get involved? But why should they get involved? I mean, we have a lot of people who are of our audience will be interested in AI engineering, but they may be looking for bigger impacts in the world. What opportunities does AI for science provide them to make an impact to change the world? That working in this the world of pure bits would not.[01:11:28:28 - 01:11:40:06]Max: So my view is that underlying almost everything is immaterial. So we are focusing a lot on LLMs now, which is kind of the software layer.[01:11:41:06 - 01:11:56:05]Max: I would say if you think very hard, underlying everything is immaterial. So underlying an LLM is a GPU, and underlying a GPU is a wafer on which we will have to deposit materials. Do we want to wait a little bit?[01:12:02:25 - 01:12:11:06]Max: Underlying everything is immaterial. So I was saying, you know, there's the LLM underlying the LLM is a GPU on which it runs. In order to make that GPU,[01:12:12:08 - 01:12:43:20]Max: you have to put materials down on a wafer and sort of shine on it with sort of EUV light in order to etch kind of the structures in. But that's now an actual material problem, because more or less we've reached the limits of scaling things down. And now we are trying to improve further by new materials. So that's a fundamental materials problem. We need to get through the energy transition fast if we don't want to kind of mess up this world. And so there is, for instance, batteries. That's a complete materials problem. There's fuel cells.[01:12:44:23 - 01:13:01:16]Max: There is solar panels. So that they can now make solar panels with new perovskite layers on top of the silicon layers that can capture, you know, theoretically up to 50% of the light, where now we're at, I don't know, maybe 22 or something. So these are huge changes all by material innovation.[01:13:02:21 - 01:13:47:15]Max: And yeah, I think wherever you go, you know, I can probably dig deep enough and then tell you, well, actually, the very foundation of what you're doing is a material problem. And so I think it's just very nice to work on this very, very foundation. And also because I think this is maybe also something that's happening now is we can start to search through this material space. This has never been the case, right? It's like scientists, the normal way of working is you read papers and then you come up with no hypothesis. You do an experiment and you learn, et cetera. So that's a very slow process. Now we can treat this as a search engine. Like we search the internet, we now search the space of all possible molecules, not just the ones that people have made or that they're in the universe, but all of them.[01:13:48:21 - 01:14:42:01]Max: And we can make this kind of fully automated. That's the hope, right? We can just type, it becomes a tool where you type what you want and something starts spinning and some experiments get going. And then, you know, outcome list of materials and then you look at it and say, maybe not. And then you refine your query a little bit. And you kind of do research with this search engine where a huge amount of computation and experimentation is happening, you know, somewhere far away in some lab or some data center or something like this. I find this a very, very promising view of how we can sort of build a much better sort of materials layer underneath almost everything. And also more sustainable materials. Our plastics are polluting the planet. If you come up with a plastic that kind of destroys itself, you know, after, I don't a few weeks, right? And actually becomes a fertilizer. These are things that are not impossible at all. These things can be done, right? And we should do it.[01:14:42:01 - 01:14:47:23]RJ: Can you tell us a little bit just generally about CUSBI and then I have a ton of questions.[01:14:47:23 - 01:14:48:15]Speaker 5: Yeah.[01:14:48:15 - 01:17:49:10]Max: So CUSBI started about 20 months ago and it was because I was worried about I'm still worried about climate change. And so I realized that in order to get, you know, to stay within two degrees, let's say, we would not only have to reduce our emissions to zero by 2050, but then, you know, another half century or even a century of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, not by reducing your emissions, but actually removing it at a rate that's about half the rate that we now emit it. And that is a unsolved problem. But if we don't solve it, two degrees is not going to happen, right? It's going to be much more. And I don't think people quite understand how bad that can be, like four degrees, like very bad. So this technology needs to be developed. And so this was my and my co-founder, Chet Edwards, motivation to start this startup. And also because, you know, we saw the technology was ready, which is also very good. So if you're, you know, the time is right to do it. And yeah, so we now in the meanwhile, we've grown to about 40 people. We've kind of collected 130 million investment into the company, which is for a European company is quite a lot. I would say it's interesting that right after that, you know, other startups got even more. So that's kind of tells you how fast this is growing. But yeah, we are we are now at the we've built the platform, of course, but it's for a series of material classes and it needs to be constantly expanded to new material classes. And it can be more automated because, you know, we know putting LLMs in as the whole thing gets more and more automated. And now we're moving to sort of high throughput experimentation. So connecting the actual platform, which is computational, to the experiments so that you can get also get fast feedback from experiments. And I kind of think of experiments as something you do at the end, although that's what we've been doing so far. I want to think of it as what I would call a sort of a physics processing unit, like a PPU, right, which is you have digital processing units and then you have physics processing units. So it's basically nature doing computations for you. It's the fastest computer known as possible, even. It's a bit hard to program because you have to do all these experiments. Those are quite, quite bulky. It's like a very large thing you have to do. But in a way, it is a computation. And that's the way I want to see it. So I want to you can do computations in a data center and then you can ask nature to do some computations. Your interface with nature is a bit more complicated. But then these things will have to seamlessly work together to get to a new material that you're interested in. And that's the vision we have. We don't say super intelligence because I don't quite know what it means and I don't want to oversell it. But I do want to automate this process and give a very powerful tool in the hands of the chemists and the material scientists.[01:17:49:10 - 01:18:01:02]Brandon: That actually brings up a question I wanted to ask you. First of all, can you talk about your platform to like whatever degree, like explain kind of how it works and like what you your thought processes was in developing it?[01:18:01:02 - 01:20:47:22]Max: Yeah, I think it's been surprisingly, it's not rocket science, I would say. It's not rocket science in the sense of the design and basically the design that, you know, I wrote down at the very beginning. It's still more or less the design, although you add things like I wasn't thinking very much about multi-scale models and as the common are rated that actually multi-scale is very important. And the beginning, I wasn't thinking very much about self-driving labs. But now I think, you know, we are now at the stage we should be adding that. And so there is sort of bits and details that we're adding. But more or less, it's what you see in the slide decks here as well, which is there is a generative component that you have to train to generate candidates. And then there is a digital twin, multi-scale, multi-fidelity digital twin, which you walk through the steps of the ladder, you know, they do the cheap things first, you weed out everything that's obviously unuseful, and then you go to more and more expensive things later. And so you narrow things down to a small number. Those go into an experiment, you know, do the experiment, get feedback, etc. Now, things that also have been more recently added is sort of more agentic sort of parts. You know, we have agents that search the literature and come up with, you know, actually the chemical literature and come up with, you know, chemical suggestions for doing experiments. We have agents which sort of autonomously orchestrate all of the computations and the experiments that need to be done. You know, they're in various stages of maturity and they can be continuously improved, I would say. And so that's basically I don't think that part. There's rocket science, but, you know, the design of that thing is not like surprising. What is it's surprising hard to actually build it. Right. So that's that's the thing that is where the moat is in the data that you can get your hands on and the and actually building the platform. And I would say there's two people in particular I want to call out, which is Felix Hunker, who is actually, you know, building the scientific part of the platform and Sandra de Maria, who is building the sort of the skate that is kind of this the MLOps part of the platform. Yeah. And so and recently we also added sort of Aaron Walsh to our team, who is a very accomplished scientist from Imperial College. We're very happy about that. He's going to be a chief science officer. And we also have a partnerships team that sort of seeks out all the customers because I think this is one thing I find very important. In print, it's so complex to do to actually bring a material to the real world that you must do this, you know, in collaboration with sort of the domain experts, which are the companies typically. So we always we only start to invest in the direction if we find a good industrial partner to go on that journey with us.[01:20:47:22 - 01:20:55:12]Brandon: Makes a lot of sense. Over the evolution of the platform, did you find that you that human intervention, human,[01:20:56:18 - 01:21:17:01]Brandon: I guess you could start out with a pure, you could imagine two directions when you start up making everything purely automatic, automated, agentic, so on. And then later on, you like find that you need to have more human input and feedback different steps. Or maybe did you start out with having human feedback? You have lots of steps and then like kind of, yeah, figure out ways to remove, you know,[01:21:17:01 - 01:22:39:18]Max: that is the second one. So you build tools for you. So it's much more modular than you think. But it's like, we need these tools for this application. We need these tools. So you build all these tools, and then you go through a workflow actually in the beginning just manually. So you put them in a first this tool, then run this to them or this with sithery. So you put them in a workflow and then you figure out, oh, actually, you know, this this porous material that we are trying to make actually collapses if you shake it a bit. Okay, then you add a new tool that says test for stability. Right. Yeah. And so there's more and more tools. And then you build the agent, which could be a Bayesian optimizer, or it could be an actual other them, you know, maybe trained to be a good chemist that will then start to use all these tools in the right way in the right order. Yeah. Right. But in the beginning, it's like you as a chemist are putting the workflow together. And then you think about, okay, how am I going to automate this? Right. For one very easy question you can ask yourself is, you know, every time somebody who is not a super expert in DFT, yeah, and he wants to do a calculation has to go to somebody who knows DFT. And so could you start to automate that away, which is like, okay, make it so user friendly, so that you actually do the right DFT for the right problem and for the right length of time, and you can actually assess whether it's a good outcome, etc. So you start to automate smaller small pieces and bigger pieces, etc. And in the end, the whole thing is automated.[01:22:39:18 - 01:22:53:25]Brandon: So your philosophy is you want to provide a set of specific tools that make it so that the scientists making decisions are better informed and less so trying to create an automated process.[01:22:53:25 - 01:23:22:01]Max: I think it's this is sort of the same where you're saying because, yes, we want to automate, yeah, but we don't see something very soon where the chemists and the domain expert is out of the loop. Yeah, but it but it's a retreat, right? It's like, okay, so first, you need an expert to tell you precisely how to set the parameters of the DFT calculation. Okay, maybe we can take that out. We can maybe automate that, right? And so increasingly, more of these things are going to be removed.[01:23:22:01 - 01:23:22:19]Speaker 5: Yeah.[01:23:22:19 - 01:24:33:25]Max: In the end, the vision is it will be a search engine where you where somebody, a chemist will type things and we'll get candidates, but the chemist will still decide what is a good material and what is not a good material out of that list, right? And so the vision of a completely dark lab, where you can close the door and you just say, just, you know, find something interesting and then it will it will just figure out what's interesting and we'll figure out, you know, it's like, oh, I found this new material to blah, blah, blah, blah, right? That's not the vision I have. He's not for, you know, a long time. So for me, it's really empowering the domain experts that are sitting in the companies and in universities to be much faster in developing their materials. And I should say, it's also good to be a little humble at times, because it is very complicated, you know, to bring it to make it and to bring it into the real world. And there are people that are doing this for the entire lives. Yeah. Right. And it's like, I wonder if they scratch their head and say, well, you know, how are you going to completely automate that away, like in the next five years? I don't think that's going to happen at all.[01:24:35:01 - 01:24:39:24]Max: Yeah. So to me, it's an increasingly powerful tool in the hands of the chemists.[01:24:39:24 - 01:25:04:02]RJ: I have a question. You've talked before about getting people interested based on having, you know, sort of a big breakthrough in materials, incremental change. I'm curious what you think about the platform you have now in are sort of stepping towards and how are you chasing the big change or is this like incremental or is there they're not mutually exclusive, obviously, but what do you think about that?[01:25:04:02 - 01:26:04:27]Max: We follow a mixed strategy. So we are definitely going after a big material. Again, we do this with a partner. I'm not going to disclose precisely what it is, but we have our own kind of long term goal. You could call it lighthouse or, you know, sort of moonshot or whatever, but it is going to be a really impactful material that we want to develop as a proof point that it can be done and that it will make it into the into the real world and that AI was essential in actually making it happen. At the same time, we also are quite happy to work with companies that have more modest goals. Like I would say one is a very deep partnership where you go on a journey with a company and that's a long term commitment together. And the other one is like somebody says, I knew I need a force field. Can you help me train this force field and then maybe analyze this particular problem for me? And I'll pay you a bunch of money for that. And then maybe after that we'll see. And that's fine too. Right. But we prefer, you know, the deep partnerships where we can really change something for the good.[01:26:04:27 - 01:26:22:02]RJ: Yeah. And do you feel like from a platform standpoint you're ready for that or what are the things that and again, not asking you to disclose proprietary secret sauce, but what are the things generally speaking that need to happen from where we are to where to get those big breakthroughs?[01:26:22:02 - 01:28:40:01]Max: What I find interesting about this field is that every time you build something, it's actually immediately useful. Right. And so unlike quantum computing, which or nuclear fusion, so you work for 20, 30, 40 years and nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing. And then it has to happen. Right. And when it happens, it's huge. So it's quite different here because every time you introduce, so you go to a customer and you say, so what do you need? Right. So we work, let's say, on a problem like a water filtration. We want to remove PFAS from water. Right. So we do this with a company, Camira. So they are a deep partner for us. Right. So we on a journey together. I think that the breakthrough will happen with a lot of human in the loop because there is the chemists who have a whole lot more knowledge of their field and it's us who will help them with training, having a new message. And in that kind of interface, these interactions, something beautiful will happen and that will have to happen first before this field will really take off, I think. And so in the sense that it's not a bubble, let's put it that way. So that's people see that as actual real what's happening. So in the beginning, it will be very, you know, with a lot of humans in the loop, I would say, and I would I would hope we will have this new sort of breakthrough material before, you know, everything is completely automated because that will take a while. And also it is very vertical specific. So it's like completely automating something for problem A, you know, you can probably achieve it, but then you'll sort of have to start over again for problem B because, you know, your experimental setup looks very different in the machines that you characterize your materials look very different. Even the models in your platform will have to be retrained and fine tuned to the new class. So every time, you know, you have a lot of learnings to transfer, but also, you know, the problems are actually different. And so, yes, I would want that breakthrough material before it's completely automated, which I think is kind of a long term vision. And I would say every time you move to something new, you'll have to start retraining and humans will have to come in again and say, okay, so what does this problem look like? And now sort of, you know, point the the machine again, you know, in the new direction and then and then use it again.[01:28:40:01 - 01:28:47:17]RJ: For the non-scientists among us, me included a bit of a scientist. There's a lot of terminology. You mentioned DFT,[01:28:49:00 - 01:29:01:11]RJ: you equivariance we've talked about. Can you sort of explain in engineering terms or the level of sophistication and engineering? Well, how what is equivariance?[01:29:01:11 - 01:29:55:01]Max: So equivariance is the infusion of symmetry in neural networks. So if I build a neural network, let's say that needs to recognize this bottle, right, and then I rotate the bottle, it will then actually have to completely start again because it has no idea that the rotated bottle. Well, actually, the input that represents a rotated bottle is actually rotated bottle. It just doesn't understand that. Right. If you build equivariance in basically once you've trained it in one orientation, it will understand it in any other orientation. So that means you need a lot less data to train these models. And these are constraints on the weights of the model. So so basically you have to constrain the way such data to understand it. And you can build it in, you can hard code it in. And yeah, this the symmetry groups can be, you know, translations, rotations, but also permutations. I can graph neural network, their permutations and then physics, of course, as many more of these groups.[01:29:55:01 - 01:30:01:08]RJ: To pray devil's advocate, why not just use data augmentation by your bottle is in all the different orientations?[01:30:01:08 - 01:30:58:23]Max: As an option, it's just not exact. It's like, why would you go through the work of doing all that? Where you would really need an infinite number of augmentations to get it completely right. Where you can also hard code it in. Now, I have to say sometimes actually data augmentation works even better than hard coding the equivariance in. And this is something to do with the fact that if you constrain the optimization, the weights before the optimization starts, the optimization surface or objective becomes more complicated. And so it's harder to find good minima. So there is also a complicated interplay, I think, between the optimization process and these constraints you put in your network. And so, yeah, you'll hear kind of contradicting claims in this field. Like some people and for certain applications, it works just better than not doing it. And sometimes you hear other people, if you have a lot of data and you can do data augmentation, then actually it's easier to optimize them and it actually works better than putting the equivariance in.[01:30:58:23 - 01:31:07:16]Brandon: Do you think there's kind of a bitter lesson for mathematically founded models and strategies for doing deep learning?[01:31:07:16 - 01:31:46:06]Max: Yeah, ultimately it's a trade-off between data and inductive bias. So if your inductive bias is not perfectly correct, you have to be careful because you put a ceiling to what you can do. But if you know the symmetry is there, it's hard to imagine there isn't a way to actually leverage it. But yeah, so there is a bitter lesson. And one of the bitter lessons is you should always make sure your architecture is scale, unless you have a tiny data set, in which case it doesn't matter. But if you, you know, the same bitter lessons or lessons that you can draw in LLM space are eventually going to be true in this space as well, I think.[01:31:47:10 - 01:31:55:01]RJ: Can you talk a little bit about your upcoming book and tell the listeners, like, what's exciting about it? Yeah, I should read it.[01:31:55:01 - 01:33:42:20]Max: So this book is about, it's called Generative AI and Stochastic Thermodynamics. It basically lays bare the fact that the mathematics that goes into both generative AI, which is the technology to generate images and videos, and this field of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, which are systems of molecules that are just moving around and relaxing to the ground state, or that you can control to have certain, you know, be in a certain state, the mathematics of these two is actually identical. And so that's fascinating. And in fact, what's interesting is that Jeff Hinton and Radford Neal already wrote down the variational free energy for machine learning a long time ago. And there's also Carl Friston's work on free energy principle and active entrance. But now we've related it to this very new field in physics, which is called stochastic thermodynamics or non-equilibrium thermodynamics, which has its own very interesting theorems, like fluctuation theorems, which we don't typically talk about, but we can learn a lot from. And I think it's just it can sort of now start to cross fertilize. When we see that these things are actually the same, we can, like we did for symmetries, we can now look at this new theory that's out there, developed by these very smart physicists, and say, okay, what can we take from here that will make our algorithms better? At the same time, we can use our models to now help the scientists do better science. And so it becomes a beautiful cross-fertilization between these two fields. The book is rather technical, I would say. And it takes all sorts of things that have been done as stochastic thermodynamics, and all sorts of models that have been done in the machine learning literature, and it basically equates them to each other. And I think hopefully that sense of unification will be revealing to people.[01:33:42:20 - 01:33:44:05]RJ: Wait, and when is it out?[01:33:44:05 - 01:33:56:09]Max: Well, it depends on the publisher now. But I hope in April, I'm going to give a keynote at ICLR. And it would be very nice if they have this book in my hand. But you know, it's hard to control these kind of timelines.[01:33:56:09 - 01:33:58:19]RJ: Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Great.[01:33:58:19 - 01:33:59:25]Max: Thank you very much.

Aflevering 26 van de PZC Voetbal Podcast begint met nieuws. Timo Lijbers, middenvelder van Hoek, vertelt voor welke club hij komend seizoen gaat spelen. De 25-jarige Vlissinger maakte afgelopen zomer de overstap van Goes naar de tweededivisionist, maar komt vooralsnog weinig aan spelen toe. Lijbers zit aan tafel met Barry van der Hooft en Jan Dagevos en vertelt onder meer over zijn rol bij Hoek en hoe moeilijk het vaak is om in te vallen. Voorafgaand aan dit seizoen had hij andere verwachtingen. ,,Vorig seizoen speelde ik twee keer supergoed tegen Hoek", vertelt Lijbers. ,,Met de middenvelders die Hoek toen had, durfde ik de strijd wel aan te gaan." De technische commissie van Hoek haalde echter ook nog spelers als Hamza Bouihrouchane, Robbie Van hauter en Noah Aelterman binnen. Stuk voor stuk goede spelers, zegt Lijbers. Welke medespeler heeft dit seizoen de meeste indruk op hem gemaakt? Dat vertelt de lange middenvelder tijdens het gesprek in onze studio in Middelburg. We bespreken ook de verrichtingen van zijn nieuwe club Kloetinge en zijn oude club Goes. Beide ploegen gingen afgelopen weekend onderuit in de derde divisie B. We blikken ook vooruit op komend weekend, wanneer vrijwel alle Zeeuwse ploegen weer in actie komen. We sluiten af met bijzonder droevig nieuws over voormalig PZC-medewerker Peter van Kouteren.Support the show: https://krant.nl/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Op de maandag na het carnavalsweekend schuiven twee broers aan bij de PZC Voetbal Podcast. In aflevering 25 gaan Barry van der Hooft en Jan Dagevos in gesprek met Goes-verdediger Eys Murre (25) en Hoek-doelman Finn Murre (22). ,,Ik heb een blauw-wit hart gekregen", zegt de jongste van de twee. Hoe kijken de broers naar elkaar als voetballers? Hoe is het om op te groeien in een gezin met in totaal vier jongens? En zijn hun ouders kritische volgers? Of juist niet. Finn blijkt een groot fan te zijn van Cristiano Ronaldo. ,,Misschien wel de grootste", zegt de keeper. Zijn vierde seizoen bij de Zeeuws-Vlaamse club wordt vrijwel zeker ook zijn laatste. Dat de doelman zich dit seizoen in de picture heeft gespeeld bij clubs uit het betaalde voetbal, is geen geheim meer. Zijn overstap naar een club uit de Keuken Kampioen Divisie is ook zo goed als zeker. ,,Ik moet alleen nog medisch gekeurd worden", vertelt Finn. Broer Eys moest de 'sneeuwwedstrijd' tegen FC Rijnvogels zondag vanwege een lichte blessure aan zich voorbij laten gaan. ,,Ik heb al een tijdje last van mijn kuit, dus het was beter om even een keertje over te slaan." Gaat hij zich zonder deelname aan de nacompetitie met Goes handhaven in de derde divisie? Het antwoord is kort en bondig: ,,Ja." Broer Finn kan met Hoek opnieuw een prijs pakken. Na het kampioenschap van afgelopen seizoen in de derde divisie, is hij nu met Hoek koploper in de tweede divisie. Wordt Hoek opnieuw kampioen? ,,Vorig seizoen had ik dat gevoel al na vier wedstrijden", bekent Finn. ,,Maar nu komt er misschien nog wel een mindere fase aan. In de tweede divisie is iedere wedstrijd moeilijk."Support the show: https://krant.nl/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Red Sea has become the centre of a geopolitical crisis. How to secure one of the world's most crowded trade routes? With, amongst others, NATO-Chief of Staff Geoffrey van Leeuwen we speak about proxy wars, maritime strategy and trade.Every year, roughly 33% of global containerised trade passes through the Red Sea. At its narrowest point, just 26 kilometres wide, the sea is one of the world's most critical maritime chokepoints. The attacks in the last years by the Yemen-based Houthis have once again demonstrated the vulnerability of this geostrategic corridor. By sinking four vessels and hijacking another with relative ease, the Houthis have found an effective means to exert political leverage and managed to decrease maritime traffic through the passage from November 2023 onwards with 55%, bringing international trade through the Red Sea effectively to a standstill.With the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the Suez Canal no longer viable routes for most shipping companies, vessels traveling between Europe and Asia have increasingly diverted around Africa. For the EU, particularly for a maritime trading nation like the Netherlands, this divergence significantly complicates supply chains, increases costs, and critically exposes strategic vulnerabilities. As the cessation of Houthi attacks appears contingent on the fragile ceasefire in Gaza, European shipping companies ask whether a return to the strait is a realistic option at all.During this event we think through a set of interrelated questions: what geopolitical stakes are at play in the Red Sea region, what conditions are required to ensure safety and security, who are the key actors shaping developments in this strategically vital corridor, and specifically what role does NATO take on in its naval strategy?About the speakersGeoffrey van Leeuwen is NATO-Chief of Staff and Director of the Office of the Secretary General. Before taking over as Chief of Staff and Director of the Office of the Secretary General, Geoffrey van Leeuwen served as Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation for the Netherlands, after having spent several years as National Security Advisor to Prime Minister Mark Rutte.Benedetta Girardi is Programme Coordinator of the HCSS Europe in the Indo-Pacific programme and Strategic Analyst at HCSS. Her research focuses on the role of Europe in the Indo-Pacific, with specific attention to supply chains of energy, critical raw materials, and semiconductors as well as avenues for engagement between European and Indo-Pacific states. Paul van Hooft is expert on international security, nuclear deterrence and strategy, US-European relations, and the Indo-Pacific. He is a research leader at RAND Europe.Máté Szalai is a Research Fellow at the Conflict Research Unit of Clingendael. As a member of the Middle East group, he specializes in the international relations and the domestic political economic systems of the broader Gulf region.Programme editor: Senna FeliusModerator: Yoeri AlbrechtIn cooperation with: JASON InstituteZie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Het was het weekend van twee gemiste strafschoppen in de derde divisie. In aflevering 24 van de PZC Voetbal Podcast kan onze gast ook meepraten over het missen van een strafschop. Din Sula zag zijn inzet vanaf elf meter vorige week gestopt worden, maar daarna scoorde hij alsnog twee keer. De topscorer van Hoek schuift aan bij presentator Barry van der Hooft. Samen nemen ze in vogelvlucht de carrière door van de 27-jarige Sula, die onlangs voor de eerste keer vader werd. ,,Ik werd in de nacht van vrijdag op zaterdag om half 3 's nachts wakker gemaakt door mijn vrouw", vertelt hij. ,,We zijn naar het ziekenhuis in Antwerpen gereden maar ik had mijn spullen van Hoek mee. Onze dochter werd om kwart over één 's middags geboren dus de wedstrijd tegen Spakenburg kon ik niet meer halen." Sula staat na vijftien wedstrijden in de tweede divisie op elf goals. Hij duidt het verschil tussen voetballen in Nederland en België, voelt mee met de langdurig uitgeschakelde Steve Schalkwijk en kijkt terug op de wedstrijden van dit seizoen in de KNVB beker. ,,Na de wedstrijd tegen FC Eindhoven kreeg ik in de auto op weg naar huis flashbacks", zegt Sula. Met promovendus Hoek is hij nog steeds koploper van de tweede divisie. De voorsprong op nummer twee Quick Boys bedraagt vier punten. Is het realistisch om met Hoek voor de titel te gaan? ,,Het belangrijkste is dat we blijven doen wat we al een hele tijd doen", zegt Sula. ,,We moeten niet met ons hoofd in de wolken gaan lopen."Support the show: https://krant.nl/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Op de eerste maandag van februari bespreken Barry van der Hooft en Jan Dagevos het afgelopen weekend in het Zeeuwse amateurvoetbal. Barry zag Hoek mede dankzij een rode kaart voor Jong Sparta winnen in Rotterdam, terwijl Jan zag hoe Kloetinge tegen Blauw Geel’38 genoegen moest nemen met een punt. In aflevering 23 van dit seizoen komt ook Goes aan bod. De Bevelandse ploeg ging pijnlijk onderuit bij Scheveningen en lijkt in de derde divisie B naar beneden te moeten kijken. Buurman Kloetinge is nog altijd de koploper in die divisie en belgde afgelopen week een sponsorbijeenkomst. Wat werd daar allemaal besproken? Hoek is door de overwinning op Jong Sparta weer koploper van de tweede divisie. Aan het eind van dit seizoen ziet de club centrale verdediger Wout den Engelsman vertrekken naar Spakenburg. De inwoner van Sint-Annaland komt zelf aan het woord over zijn transfer naar één van de grootste en meest succesvolle amateurclubs van Nederland. De nederlaag van Steen komt aan bod, net als de tweede overwinning van dit seizoen van VCK op Terneuzense Boys. In de derde klassen deden de titelkandidaten wat er van ze verwacht mocht worden: winnen. Richting het einde van de podcast hebben Barry en Jan het nog kort even over muziek, waarbij Frans Bauer en Oasis aan bod komen.Support the show: https://krant.nl/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Modern motherhood can make "detox" feel like the answer—especially when you're exhausted and convinced you just need the right protocol to get your body back. Eva Hooft unpacks why the do-more, cleanse-harder mindset can keep women stuck, and how real healing starts with safety, not force. We talk detox through a nervous system + mineral lens: how stress shuts down digestion and drainage, why aggressive "pulling" can backfire when you're depleted, and what it looks like to rebuild your terrain with simple, foundational support. We also get real about the emotional side—when wellness becomes obsession, why slowing down can be the most powerful biohack, and how simplicity helps you get your energy and resilience back for the long game.

Een aantal competities in het amateurvoetbal is hervat en dus is ook de PZC Voetbal Podcast terug. Tijdens de winterstop gebeurde er van alles en dat bespreken chef sport Barry van der Hooft en Jan Dagevos in de 21ste aflevering van dit seizoen, vanaf de redactie in Middelburg. Het waren onderhoudende en enerverende weken, inclusief een berg sneeuw, die werden gevolgd door een bijzonder voetbalweekend. Dies Janse en invaller Tika de Jonge wonnen met FC Groningen van rivaal Heerenveen en Feyenoord-Sparta, met de sterk spelende Marvin Young, zorgde ook voor gespreksstof. Net als de bizarre ontknoping van de Afrika Cup in Marokko... De Zeeuwse top drie slaagde er niet om in te winnen. Goes verloor zondag met 3-0 van laagvlieger UNA en dat was een flinke tegenvaller voor de Bevelandse derdedivisionist. Bij Kloetinge heerste een vergelijkbaar gevoel. De ploeg van Rogier Veenstra verloor weliswaar niet van TOGB (2-2) maar baalde wel enorm dat het - onnodig - twee dure punten had laten liggen. Door een 2-1-nederlaag in Haarlem, tegen Koninklijke HFC, raakte Hoek de koppositie in de tweede divisie kwijt aan Quick Boys. Daarnaast viel sterkhouder Wout den Engelsman, die over belangstelling van andere clubs niet te klagen heeft, uit met een flinke blessure. Moet de technische commissie van Hoek deze maand nog de transfermarkt op? Of zat een nieuwe aanwinst vorige week al op de tribune tijdens het oefenduel met Ninove. Er is dus genoeg te bespreken en dat doen Van der Hooft en Dagevos dan ook. Heb je tips over de podcast of voor de sportredactie?

Late last Autumn, I asked you to send me one photograph you made in 2025. Not a greatest hit and not something that had done well online, just the one you kept coming back to when nobody else was watching. The one you might show a friend and say, "Yeah, this really means something." What arrived was more than I expected. Over a hundred pictures came in, each with a story attached, some short, some long, some so open it made me pause. The level of trust that this show evokes never feels normal, and this project really brought that home. THE ONE was never meant to be a competition. There was no ranking, no winners, no pecking order. The pictures we talk about are simply the ones that made me stop, sometimes because of the image, sometimes because of the story that sat behind it.  I invited 10 photographers over two weeks to talk about their work, and this is the second of those two special editions. If your picture isn't included in these two episodes, it doesn't mean it was missed. This grew bigger than anyone expected, and THE ONE now has a home on the website, ready to be returned to throughout the year. John Lancaster talks about a health scare that pushed him to look at both life and photography differently. Wendy Brandon takes us out onto the water, finding calm among whales and ice. Jan van der Hooft shares a deeply personal story of love, loss, and what it means to keep making pictures. Michael Tenbrink brings his blurred, dreamlike landscapes into the mix, while Gene Westberg reminds us that some of the best images happen when you wander off the main path. Read more about our photographic adventures on our photography travel website, The Journey Beyond. Links to all guests and features will be on the show page, my sincere thanks to our Extra Milers, without whom we wouldn't be walking each week and Arthelper.ai, giving photographers smart tools to plan, promote, and manage your creative projects more easily.

Hey everybody! In this episode, I spoke with Eva Hooft. Eva has an interesting story of being diagnosed with a number of childhood ailments that persisted into adulthood. After following a career in modeling she began to become disillusioned by her diagnoses and began a search into more holistic and integrative therapies. We spoke about her journey and a number of topics including her background, yoga, somatics, liver detoxification, mineral balancing, functional medicine, the power of the mind and beliefs, and much more. It was a really interesting conversation and I think her knowledge from her own discoveries, many interests, and what she has found working with others really shines.

What if fine lines, breakouts, and flare-ups are not just skin issues, but the body replaying old experiences it never got to resolve? In this episode, we explore how nervous system patterns, unresolved emotion, and the way we hold stress in the body can quietly shape how our skin ages over time. We look at the skin as a boundary, a canvas, and a reflection of how safe we feel in the world.We talk with practitioner Eva Hooft about psychosomatics, face mapping, and the cell danger response, and how a chronically dysregulated system keeps inflammation and premature aging on a loop.

In aflevering 20 van de PZC Voetbal Podcast is Hoek-trainer Gérard de Nooijer te gast. De oud-prof werd dit weekend met zijn team winterkampioen en gaat dinsdag de strijd aan met Eredivisieclub Telstar in de tweede ronde van de Eurojackpot KNVB-Beker. Presentator Juriën Dam en sportjournalist Barry van der Hooft willen uiteraard alles weten over het seizoen van de tweededivisonist. Net als Hoek werd in de derde divisie ook Kloetinge winterkampioen. Op dat niveau werd zijn elftal vorig jaar eerste en De Nooijer refereert daar nog even aan. ,,Het team dat wij vorig jaar hadden had totaal niet meegekund in deze tweede divisie.” Zaterdag wonnen de Hoekenezen van De Treffers waar coach Theo Janssen zich zowel negatief als positief uitliet over de Zeeuwse formatie. Kritisch blijven ook altijd de sponsoren bij Hoek, en daar had De Nooijer na afloop in een vol sponsorhome wel iets tegen te zeggen. Toch is vooral hosanna bij de koploper, waar zaterdag het laatste wedstrijdticket voor het treffen met ‘de Witte Leeuwen’ uit Velsen voor een mooi bedrag werd geveild. De Nooijer, die volgend seizoen ook bij JVOZ zegt te blijven, praat onder meer over de kunst van het geven en nemen bij Hoek, over tribuneklanten in de kleedkamer, de bankzitter die zich met de warming-up mag bemoeien en de eventuele rol van doelman Finn Murre - die tegen Telstar reserve is - in een penaltyserie. Verder gaat het over de districtsbeker, waar er een eerlijke vlagger was bij Terneuzense Boys en een strafschoppenkiller bij buurman Terneuzen.Support the show: https://krant.nl/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In aflevering 19 van de PZC Voetbal Podcast is Arnemuidendaar Marinus Baas te gast. De voormalig spits houdt zich tegenwoordig bezig met andere voetbalgerelateerde zaken, waarover hij komt vertellen. Chef-sport Barry van der Hooft en presentator Juriën Dam zijn de overige tafelgasten. Barry volgde live voor de buis de verrichtingen van Hoek, waar het lange seizoen zijn sporen nalaat. Bij Goes werd het zondag dan weer een lange middag en bij Kloetinge werd een dag eerder de sliding van het jaar genoteerd. Bij Kloetinge speelde Baas een jaar lang succesvol in de spits. De bonkige aanvaller gaat nog even kort in over zijn rigoureuze vertrek van destijds. Eerder mocht hij eens op stage bij Helmond Sport, terwijl hij dat voetbalseizoen nog bij Arnemuiden 2 begon. Baas, die in zijn spelerstijd buiten het veld soms ook al furore maakte als zanger, is zijdelings nog altijd bij het voetbal betrokken.Bij een bedrijfsongeval in 2019 verloor hij bijna zijn duim en kwam een jaar thuis te zitten. In die tijd ontdekte hij zijn nieuwe passies: tekenen en fotografie. Baas maakt tegenwoordig voetbalkunst; foto’s bewerkt hij digitaal tot levensechte illustraties: ‘een Baas’. Ook vertelt hij over zijn cursus fotografie, waarbij plots Barry in beeld kwam. Ook gaat het nog even over Baas’ speciale tatoeages. Verder gaat het over een verloren foto van Barry, het directe vertrek van trainer Carlo van Grimberghe bij Hontenisse en daarnaast gaat Barry ook verder in op het toekomstig afscheid van Pieter Roelse bij Bruse Boys. Opvallend was trouwens dat voor alle nog ongeslagen Zeeuwse teams de winterstop net iets te laat kwam. Support the show: https://krant.nl/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In aflevering 17 van de PZC Voetbal Podcast is de aanvoerder van de eerste Zeeuwse kampioen te gast. Lucas de Bruine won zaterdag als aanvoerder van Kloetinge onder 23 de titel op het hoogste niveau. Chef-sport Barry van der Hooft en presentator Juriën Dam zijn de andere tafelgasten. Met De Bruine gaat het over de rol van het opleidingsteam, over zijn vader en Kloetinge-voorzitter Jan-Kees (blijft hij nou wel of geen voorzitter?) en over een mogelijke promotie. Dan zouden de Kloetinge-talenten volgend seizoen weleens uit kunnen komen tegen profclubs. Ook de prestaties van het eerste komen aan bod. Barry hoopt dat een ‘interne transfer’ het tij binnenkort kan keren, ondanks de koppositie.Zaterdagavond was het behoorlijk druk op de Veerse Poort in Middelburg, waar een echte derby gaande was. De titelstrijd in de derde klasse ligt helemaal open nadat Dauwendaele stadsgenoot Zeelandia Middelburg de baas was. De zaalvoetballers van ZVV Middelburg speelden een dag eerder dan weer een derby tegen Groene Ster Vlissingen, in een ouderwets bomvolle Baskensburg. Na afloop werd er online nog even een steekje uitgedeeld. Barry zat deze week kort op Hoek, waarop het trainingsveld een lichte vorm van arrogantie werd bespeurd. Goudhaantje Din Sula werd intern ook nog even getriggerd. De spits hapte begin dit seizoen wel toe op het aanbod van Hoek, waar anderen hun neus ophaalden. Barry: ,,Die gasten vragen nu of er misschien toch nog interesse is.” Andersom tonen clubs ook interesse in Hoek-spelers, weet de sportjournalist.Verder gaat het onder meer over een terugspeelbal bij Terneuzense Boys, de transfer van Bradley de Nooijer naar België en de zogenaamde blijdschap bij een goal van Goes.Support the show: https://krant.nl/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Het was dé week van Hoek, dat na de heroïsche bekerwinst tegen FC Eindhoven en competitiezege tegen ACV Assen volgens de stand nu de beste amateurclub van Nederland is. PZC-sportjournalist Barry van der Hooft en presentator Juriën Dam geven hun blik op deze glansprestatie. ,,Je moet er toch niet aan denken dat Hoek kampioen wordt...” Hoek-trainer Gérard de Nooijer voorspelde enkele weken terug drie opeenvolgende overwinningen en die kwamen er ook. En hoe. De winnende goal van Din Sula tegen FC Eindhoven werd door sommigen wel tien keer teruggekeken, zo vertelt Barry. Ook imiteert hij de linksback van die profclub, gaat het over het partijtje knokken en vertelt Barry dat rond half drie ‘s nachts het licht pas uitging in Hoek. Grote smet op de bekeravond was het uitvallen van aanvoerder Steve Schalkwijk. De spits vertelt in deze podcast over zijn zware blessure en hoe hij zijn toekomst bij de tweededivisionist nu ziet. De bekerloting was live te zien bij ESPN en mede daardoor werd Nico Boussen (voorzitter van de sponsorcommissie) het gehele weekend Frans (van Seumeren) genoemd. Hoek werd vrijdag aan Eredivisieclub Telstar gekoppeld en waarom zal de algemeen directeur van ‘De Witte Leeuwen’ vast heel blij zijn dat hij terug mag keren in Hoek? Het huidige succes wordt gekoesterd, maar toch gaat het alweer over de toekomst: de (nieuwe) tribunes en het feit dat Spakenburg een verdediger bij Hoek zou willen ophalen. Verder gaat het over de Turkse versie van Scorito, is er een nieuwe Zeeuwse profvoetballer en wordt er verteld naar welke Zeeuwse clubs je moet gaan kijken als je doelpunten wilt zien.Support the show: https://krant.nl/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kan links weer een factor van betekenis worden? Kun je als liberaal nog bij de VVD terecht? Hoe stevig staat de democratie? Aan de vooravond van de verkiezingen buigen Bas Heijne, Simon van Teutem (De Correspondent), Coen van de Ven (De Groene Amsterdammer) en Amber Wiznitzer (NRC) zich over de kantelpunten in de Nederlandse politiek. In een ultieme poging de kiezer te mobiliseren, kiest links voor een onbestemd gezamenlijk avontuur. Ondertussen verkeren de liberalen van de VVD na hun samenwerking met radicaal-rechts in een vrije val. De traditionele middenpartijen ondergaan een onmiskenbare transformatie – en daarmee neemt het Nederlandse politieke landschap nieuwe vormen aan.Hoe stevig staan vrijheid, gelijkheid en broederschap nog overeind als pijlers van onze democratie, nu de traditionele vertegenwoordigers van die waarden zich op een kantelpunt bevinden? En is de democratie zelf als waarde nog intact in een tijd waarin steeds meer mensen aangeven een ‘sterke leider' ook wel te zien zitten?Over de sprekersBas Heijne (1960) is schrijver en essayist. Voor zijn beschouwende proza ontving hij in 2017 de P.C. Hooft-prijs. Heijne schreef Voor de democratie (Prometheus), een essay over de actualiteit van Perikles' beroemde grafrede, waarin hij de kernwaarden van de Atheense democratie prijst.Simon van Teutem (1997) schrijft voor De Correspondent en Our World in Data over politiek en samenleving. Als PhD-student aan de Universiteit van Oxford onderzoekt hij de groeiende steun voor radicaal-rechts.

In aflevering 13 van de PZC Voetbal Podcast is Goes-trainer Giovanni Siereveld te gast. Presentator Juriën Dam en sportjournalist Barry van der Hooft praten met de coach van de derdedivisionist over tal van onderwerpen. Kloetinge veroverde dit weekend de periodetitel en Rudy Boogert (Rudestats) geeft in de uitzending aan waarom dit zomaar eens heel nadelig zou kunnen zijn. Bij de koploper liep Giovanni vorig seizoen stage in het kielzog van trainer Rogier Veenstra. Welk voorbeeld vond hij het meest opvallende over diens aanpak? Na het voltooien van zijn trainersopleiding en tal van bijkomende buddy-bezoeken staat Giovanni dit seizoen op eigen benen. Hij zag zijn elftal winnen van ASWH, mede doordat Sjoerd Verhulst goed naar Barry had geluisterd in de podcast van vorige week. Met de oefenmeester gaat het over het trainersvak maar ook over menselijkheid, waarbij hij spreekt over het fenomeen ‘strakke gast’. Ook gaat het nog even over kruiden uit Angola die hij een speler onlangs voorschreef. Ook was Barry dit weekend bij Hoek, waar het woord ‘opstelling’ heel vaak werd uitgesproken. Het zijn gloriedagen op ‘Denoek’, ziet ook Giovanni, die het niveau nog hoger vindt dan in zijn tijd als Hoek-speler. Er wordt vooruitgeblikt op de bekerclash tussen Hoek en profclub FC Eindhoven en ook wordt er al uitgekeken naar het weekendvoetbal van volgend seizoen in de tweede en derde klasse. En waarom kan FC Dauwendaele beter eens met de rustbespreking beginnen?Support the show: https://krant.nl/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In aflevering 12 van de PZC Voetbal Podcast praten presentator Juriën Dam en sportjournalist Barry van der Hooft iedereen weer bij over het Zeeuwse voetbal. Barry was bij drie Zeeuwse wedstrijden aanwezig en ook is er de eerste Zeeuwse trainerswissel. Dat het Zeeuwse voetbal leeft vertelde FC Groningen-speler Dies Janse vorige week al in De Volkskrant. Dat er op een vrijdagavond in Vlissingen 1500 mensen op de been waren om JVOZ JO17 het in bekerverband op te zien nemen tegen de leeftijdsgenoten van Ajax bevestigde dat beeld. Een dag later speelde Hoek voor 3500 mensen in Katwijk tegen Quick Boys. We horen van Quick Boys-trainer Adrie Poldervaart dat zijn spelers best wat blijer hadden mogen zijn met de winst tegen de Zeeuws-Vlamingen. Ook Hoek-trainer Gérard de Nooijer horen we over het parkeren van de bus en hij blijkt hij vol vertrouwen te zijn over de komende wedstrijden… Kloetinge speelde een paar kilometer verderop tegen Rijnvogels, waarbij er voor de wedstrijd bij de spelers even de nodige paniek heerste. Desondanks wonnen de Bevelanders de topper, al is het volgens Barry ‘een wonder dat Kloetinge bovenaan staat en de eerste periodetitel kan grijpen.’ En moet men wel zo blij zijn als het daadwerkelijk zo ver is? Ook was de sportjournalist aanwezig bij Goes, al kon die wedstrijd hem niet echt boeien. Verder gaat het over de schande bij Kozakken Boys, competitiegenoot van Hoek. Ook komt de emotionele week van Rick van Drongelen (Samsunspor) ter sprake, vertelt Barry wat Nathan Rutjes vindt over zijn ex-pupil Marvin Young (de speler van Sparta die vorige week debuteerde bij Jong Oranje) en staat er bij een Zeeuws-Vlaamse club al een nieuw gezicht voor de groep.Support the show: https://krant.nl/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Het Zeeuwse nieuws werd afgelopen week gedomineerd door de zedenzaak die ook het regionale voetbal betrof. Onder meer over dit onderwerp gaat het in aflevering 10 van de PZC Voetbal Podcast, met deze week presentator Juriën Dam en de PZC-sportjournalisten Barry van der Hooft en Jan Dagevos. De mannen aan tafel vertellen geraakt te zijn door het nieuws, verrast ook. Bij JVOZ werd donderdag ook niet getraind, een dag nadat bekend werd dat hun ex-jeugdtrainer en scout Robin J. ervan wordt verdacht jarenlang in de kleedkamers stiekem beelden te hebben gemaakt van naakte jeugdspelers. Ook wordt hij verdacht van seksueel misbruik van één oud-leerling. Barry maakte deze week een verhaal over deze zaak en spreekt zich erover uit. Gelukkig gaat ook gewoon over voetbal, en hardlopen. Diverse ex-voetballers verdienden hun sporen dit weekend tijdens de Kustmarathon. Eén ervan maakte vorig seizoen zelfs nog deel uit van de selectie van Kloetinge. Dat elftal toonde zaterdag volgens Jan een enorme volwassenheid in de gewonnen topper tegen VVSB. Vrijdag speelt het de de derby tegen Goes, dat dit weekend nog gelijkspeelde tegen het SteDoCo van Dennis de Nooijer. Dennis wordt gebeld, vlak nadat hij de beelden nog eens heeft terugkekeken. Broer Gérard boekte met Hoek een overwinning en daar verdiende hij volgens Barry zeker de credits voor. Ook gaat het nog over twee Zeeuwse jeugdspelers die meetrainen bij NAC 1 en de prestatie van Tika de Jonge tegen datzelfde NAC. Ook gaat het over de keepersoplossing bij Groede, de lange middag van Vogelwaarde en de competitievervalsing in de derde klasse zaterdag.Support the show: https://krant.nl/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In aflevering 9 van de PZC Voetbal Podcast is oud-profvoetballer Istvan Bakx te gast. Actuele zaken en mooie anekdotes passeren de revue als de trainer van zaterdag-tweedeklasser MZC’11 in gesprek gaat met PZC-journalist Barry van der Hooft en presentator Juriën Dam. De bekeravonturen van Kloetinge en Hoek van vorige week komen al snel ter sprake. Met FC Eindhoven komt er in oktober weer een profclub naar Hoek. Profclubs in Zeeland: het brengt Barry bij begin deze eeuw, toen Kloetinge het in de beker opnam tegen FC Groningen en er volgens de website transfermarkt ene Arjen Robben meedeed op het Wesselopark. Din Sula schoot Hoek trouwens naar de volgende bekerronde en zaterdag was de spits weer heel belangrijk. Wat vond Barry trouwens van Sula’s gebaren na zijn eerste goal? En waarom gaat Alp Aslantas volgens Istvan nog wel vaker scoren voor Goes?Met de ‘Google-spits’ gaat het verder over zijn eerste maanden in Zierikzee, waar hij het gevoel heeft soms een training te missen. Toch koos hij overtuigend voor MZC’11, terwijl hij in het verleden gesprekken voerde met clubs als Feyenoord en Club Brugge om er als jeugdtrainer aan de slag te gaan. In België is Bakx nog altijd bekend, zo blijkt uit een fragment van 2024 uit een populaire podcast…Er komen ook nog mooie anekdotes aan bod. Welke teamgenoot van Hoek kwam Bakx ooit tegen in een schimmig hotel in Werkendam terwijl hij er in het geheim gesprekken voerde met Spakenburg?

Jarenlang bevonden de Europese landen zich veilig onder de nucleaire paraplu van de VS. Maar de betrouwbaarheid van deze ultieme veiligheidsgarantie staat sinds de terugkeer van Donald Trump naar het Witte Huis meer dan ooit ter discussie. Tegelijk test Rusland steeds openlijker het reactievermogen van de NAVO. Dat geeft een grote urgentie voor Europa om zijn eigen afschrikking op orde te krijgen. In deze aflevering van de Atlantische Blik bespreken we met Paul van Hooft, kernwapenexpert van RAND Europe, wat daarvoor nodig is.

In aflevering 7 van de PZC Voetbal Podcast is Wesley Mieras te gast, lid van de technische commissie van HSV Hoek. Sinds zijn aanstelling hebben er de nodige positieve veranderingen plaatsgevonden bij de tweededivisionist. PZC-sportjournalist Barry van der Hooft en presentator Juriën Dam gaan met hem in gesprek. De bijzondere middag in Hoek, met een staking in de twaalfde minuut van de wedstrijd, kwam voor Barry toch enigszins als een verrassing. De bezoekers van ACV Assen konden niet lachen met het nieuws dat ze de verste busreis van het seizoen in november nog eens moeten maken. In 2015 overkwam VC Vlissingen zo ongeveer hetzelfde. Over Vlissingen gesproken; de talenten van Ajax Onder 17 komen daar binnenkort op een vrijdagavond op bezoek. In Kloetinge, dat dit seizoen nog geen (oefen)wedstrijd verloor, werden harde maar succesvolle keuzes gemaakt. Voor Hoek-concurrent Quick Boys was er dan weer een hard gelach; de doelman van tegenstander De Treffers wist het bijna onmogelijke te doen. Met Mieras gaat het eerst over zijn eigen tijd als speler bij Hoek 1, waar hij stiekem hoopte om niet te hoeven in te vallen. Ook de communicatie met zijn vader en rasechte Hoek-supporter komt aan bod. En hoe overwon de jonge dertiger de twijfel bij de achterban over zijn aanstelling en op welke manier wonnen hij en zijn kompanen het vertrouwen bij een beleidsbepaler als Nico Boussen? De technische commissie van Hoek zag alleen al dit seizoen veertig teams aan het werk. Maar hoe zit het qua continuïteit voor de komende jaren, hebben ze nog iets aan voetbalforums en welke speciale sponsor verschijnt er binnenkort op de nieuwe uitshirts?Support the show: https://krant.nl/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In aflevering 6 van de PZC Voetbal Podcast praten sportjournalist Barry van der Hooft en presentator Juriën Dam je bij over de afgelopen Zeeuwse voetbalweek. Barry vertelt onder meer over de waarschuwing die hij uitdeelde. Dat laatste gebeurde in Goes, waar een toeschouwer zijn duidelijke mening over het Nederlands elftal en Jan Paul van Hecke ventileerde. Op eigen veld won Goes van Scheveningen, waardoor het van de hatelijke nul af is. Ondanks de matige competitiestart oogt de ranglijst zo slecht nog niet voor de ploeg van trainer Giovanni Siereveld. Kloetinge won eerder deze week in de KNVB beker van DVO, en volgens een journalist van De Limburger werken de Bevelanders wel met een enorme ruime begroting. Er wordt gesproken over de topper tegen Blauw Geel’38, de nieuwe fase waarin Kloetinge zit en over het scorend vermogen. Hoek speelde in een allesbehalve saaie wedstrijd met 0-0 gelijk tegen Jong Sparta. De Zeeuwse doelman Rik Suur blonk uit bij de Rotterdammers en hem laten we ook aan het woord. De Spartanen spelen al sinds 2016 op het niveau van de tweede divisie. Toen maakten twee Zeeuwen deel uit van die selectie, en ook twee spelers die later iets minder goed in het nieuws kwamen. Ook gaat het nog over Zeeuwse dames in de Eredivisie, de warming-up die Barry ooit liep in Spakenburg en ook komen ook de namen van Marvin Young, Memphis Depay en Alexander Büttner voorbij.Support the show: https://krant.nl/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Aan tafel deze week: Demissionair minister van Defensie Ruben Brekelmans, demissionair minister van Financiën Eelco Heinen, hoogleraar Internationale Politiek Koert Debeuf, onderzoeksleider veiligheid en defensie RAND Europe Paul van Hooft en M-O correspondent  Ralph Dekkers  Presentatie: Twan Huys  Wil je meer weten over de gasten in Buitenhof? Op onze website vind je meer informatie. Daar kan je deze aflevering ook terugkijken en je vindt er natuurlijk nog veel meer gesprekken:   https://bit.ly/buitenhof-15-juni-25  Met operatie ‘Rising Lion' begon Israël vrijdag met aanvallen op nucleaire installaties van Iran. Met grote schade als gevolg, meerdere hooggeplaatste generaals en commandanten die zijn gedood en een escalatie voor een regionale oorlog dreigt. Demissionair premier Schoof 'betreurt' de Israëlische aanval op Iran en heeft 'grote zorgen over de escalatie'. In deze Buitenhof, geheel in het teken van de laatste ontwikkelingen in het Midden-Oosten:   Demissionair minister van Defensie Ruben Brekelmans. Deze week werd ook bekend dat demissionair kabinet Schoof heeft de nieuwe voorgestelde NAVO-norm omarmt. Er gaan de komende jaren miljarden extra naar Defensie. Hoe gaat dat besteed worden? En hoe gaan de voorbereidingen van de NAVO-top volgende week in Den Haag?   Welke gevaren liggen er op de loer wat onze economie betreft nu de geopolitieke situatie met de dag ingewikkelder lijkt te worden? Hierover Eelco Heinen, demissionair minister van Financien. Waar haalt hij al het geld vandaag dat nodig is om die nieuwe NAVO-norm te halen?   Hoe staan de geopolitieke machtsblokken in het conflict tussen Israël en Iran en hoe groot is het risico op verdere escalatie? Een analyse met hoogleraar internationale politiek Koert Debeuf, onderzoeksleider veiligheid en defensie RAND Europe Paul van Hooft en vanuit Tel Aviv Midden-Oosten correspondent voor de Telegraaf Ralph Dekkers.

In Bosnië en Herzegovina is het Srebrenica Memorial Center voorlopig gesloten, omdat de veiligheid van bezoekers en medewerkers niet gegarandeerd kan worden. Intussen is een arrestatiebevel uitgevaardigd tegen Milorad Dodik, de leider van de Servische deelrepubliek, die met zijn separatistische wetten een ramkoers inzette tegen de landelijke regering. Hoe hoog lopen de etnische spanningen op? En wat moet de internationale gemeenschap doen? Daarover journalist en Balkankenner Marjolein Koster. (09:39) Europa aan de bom? Door het optreden van president Trump zijn de Europese landen in een paar weken tijd niet alleen heel onzeker over de steun aan Oekraïne, maar ook over de eigen veiligheid. Er wordt daarom hard gewerkt aan het versterken van de eigen defensie. En omdat ook aan de Amerikaanse nucleaire paraplu wordt getwijfeld, zijn kernwapens daarbij geen taboe. Zo bood Frankrijk al aan het eigen nucleaire arsenaal ‘te delen'. Duitsland staat daarvoor open, maar ook Polen. In het derde deel van onze geopolitieke serie De oplossing van het Westen: Putin, Xi en Trump in strijd met Europa, de vraag of Europa aan een eigen bom gaat. Daarover te gast: defensie-expert Paul van Hooft en hoogleraar internationale politiek Tom Sauer. Presentatie: Bram Vermeulen

Leonard Susskind is Felix Block Professor of Physics at Stanford University. Along with other accomplishments, he is among the fathers of such revolutionary concepts in physics as string theory, black hole complementarity, the holographic principle, and the string-theoretic landscape. He was also the guest on episode #217, where he and Robinson discussed the fine-tuning problem and the physics of the multiverse. In this episode, Leonard and Robinson get into another topic—black holes and the information paradox. More particularly, they talk about important figures like Stephen Hawking and Gerard 't Hooft, singularities, chaos, whether the cosmos is a hologram, the end of the universe, and more. For further details, check out Leonard's book on the title: The Black Hole War (Back Bay Books, 2009).The Black Hole War: https://a.co/d/3eTOHoZThe Theoretical Minimum: https://theoreticalminimum.comOUTLINE00:00 Introduction05:21 Black Holes and the War Between Relativity and Quantum Mechanics11:18 Is The Singularity at the Heart of a Black Hole Real?21:51 Demystifying the Puzzle of Quantum Information28:27 What Does The Famous Phrase “It From Bit” Mean?38:47 Can Information Be Stored on the Surface of a Black Hole?47:11 Was Stephen Hawking a Good Physicist?56:21 How Will The Universe End?1:00:49 What Is the Black Hole Information Paradox?1:10:47 What Is the Holographic Principle?1:20:01 How Leonard Susskind Won the Black Hole War Against Stephen Hawking1:25:09 What Is the Infamous AdS/CFT Correspondence?1:32:29 Is Physics in a Deep Crisis?1:39:29 Are String and M-Theory Totally Wrong?1:43:05 Is String Theory the Theory of Everything?1:47:43 Is String Theory a Failure?1:50:15 Does Our World Have Extra Dimensions?1:53:34 Could Our World Be a Hologram?Robinson's Website: http://robinsonerhardt.comRobinson Erhardt researches symbolic logic and the foundations of mathematics at Stanford University.

I'm Eva Hooft. I am a Certified Holistic Health Coach, NER Practitioner, CRT Practitioner, Soundbath and Breathwork Guide. I have called myself many things over the last years, but the one that lands the most, is "Alignment Coach".  After dealing with health issues for over 6 years, and meeting more and more people that were dealing with similar problems, it became clear to me. We're more disconnected from Nature and our intuition than ever. We've forgotten how to connect to our innate wisdom and how to honor the cycles of nature, whether it's the seasons, our moon cycle or the cycles of the day. It's harder than ever to know how to nourish our bodies, what to do when we are sick, and we're overstimulated through technology and fear all day everyday.  My goal is to help you quiet down the internal and external noises that prevent you from having clear communication with your inner knowing and learning the subtle language of your body, to find a space of inner and outer alignment, and manifest from that place.   Eva Hooft's Website: https://www.evahooft.com/   Work With Me: Mineral Balancing HTMA Consultation: https://www.integrativethoughts.com/category/all-products  My Instagram: @integrativematt My Website: Integrativethoughts.com   Advertisements:   Viva Rays: Use Code ITP for a Discount https://vivarays.com/   Zeolite Labs Zeocharge: Use Code ITP for 10% off https://www.zeolitelabs.com/product-page/zeocharge?ref=ITP Magnesium Breakthrough: Use Code integrativethoughts10 for 10% OFF https://bioptimizers.com/shop/products/magnesium-breakthrough Just Thrive: Use Code ITP15 for 15% off https://justthrivehealth.com/discount/ITP15 Therasage: Use Code Coffman10 for 10% off https://www.therasage.com/discount/COFFMAN10?rfsn=6763480.4aed7f&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=6763480.4aed7f   Chapters: 00:00 Introduction and Background 06:33 The Influence of Emotional Health on Physical Health 16:21 The Transformative Power of Enzyme-Based Cleanses 23:19 The Importance of Grounding and Balance in Health 28:22 Balancing the Physical and Non-Physical Aspects of Well-being 29:22 The Release of Liver Flukes and Parasites during Liver Cleanses 30:19 The Importance of Balancing the Internal Ecosystem 34:52 The Risks of Excessive Liver Flushing and Fasting 38:12 Supporting the Nervous System for Effective Detoxification 41:29 The Benefits of Mineral Balancing and Gut Cleansing 49:46 The Dangers of Neuroticism and Over-Reliance on Biohacking 53:53 The Dangers of Excessive Biohacking and the Importance of Listening to the Body 58:18 The Impact of Emotional Health on Relationships and Overall Well-being 01:06:50 The Role of Emotional Release and Processing in Healing and Transformation 01:09:16 Integrating Emotional Work with Physical Detoxification for Profound Healing 01:14:17 Clearing Subconscious Beliefs and Traumas for Inner Conflict Resolution   Takeaways: Emotional and psychological factors can have a significant impact on physical health. Enzyme-based cleanses, such as the Zen Cleanse, can be transformative for gut health and overall well-being. Grounding and balance are important in one's approach to health and detoxification. Addressing the emotional, mental, and energetic levels is just as important as focusing on the physical body for overall well-being. Liver cleanses can lead to the release of liver flukes and parasites, but it's crucial to balance and change the internal ecosystem before addressing parasites. Excessive liver flushing and fasting may have potential risks and can deplete the body of essential fluids and minerals. Supporting the nervous system is essential for effective detoxification and overall health. Mineral balancing and gut cleansing can be beneficial before embarking on more intense detox protocols. The health industry's obsession with biohacking practices can lead to neuroticism and over-reliance on external interventions. Excessive biohacking practices can be dangerous and lead to physical and emotional harm. Listening to the body's needs and finding a balance between different practices is crucial for overall well-being. Emotional release and processing are essential for healing and transformation, as stored emotions and trauma can impact physical health. Integrating emotional work with physical detoxification can lead to profound healing and increased energy. Clearing subconscious beliefs and traumas from the body can help resolve inner conflicts and improve relationships with oneself and others.   Keywords: health space, modeling industry, emotional health, physical health, detoxification, enzyme-based cleanses, Zen Cleanse, gut health, grounding, balance, physical body, emotional work, mental work, energetic level, liver cleanses, liver flukes, parasites, internal ecosystem, nervous system, mineral balancing, gut cleansing, fasting, detox, biohacking, biohacking, dangers, listening to the body, cold plunges, emotional release, processing, subconscious beliefs, traumas, physical detoxification, healing, transformation  

Patreon: https://bit.ly/3v8OhY7 Raphael Bousso is the Chancellor's Chair in Physics at the Berkeley Center for Theoretical Physics, where he leads the Bousso Group in research on quantum gravity and quantum information. He is a renowned string theorist famous also for his development of the string theoretic landscape and the Bousso bound in holography. In this episode, Robinson and Raphael discuss the groundbreaking work of Jacob Bekenstein, Stephen Hawking, Leonard Susskind, Gerard 't Hooft, and others on the black hole information paradox. They then turn to how this led to the formulation of the holographic principle, which has had profound implications for research on quantum gravity, especially for Raphael himself, who has recently been working on quantum information theory, quantum communication, and other ways in which classical gravity “knows about” and encodes its own quantum states.  The Bousso Group: https://lightsheet.berkeley.edu OUTLINE 00:00 Introduction 04:14 Working with Leonard Susskind and Stephen Hawking 6:29 Why Do Physicists Care About Black Holes? 19:11 Do Black Holes have a Temperature? 23:51 How Cold is a Black Hole? 27:32 The Black Hole Information Paradox 41:31 Do Black Holes Mean Quantum Mechanics Must be Thrown Out? 47:09 Black Hole Complementarity and Holography 54:09 What Is Quantum Gravity? 01:01:15 Why is Quantum Gravity a Low Energy Problem? 01:06:54 The Bottom-Up Approach to Quantum Gravity 1:11:12 On String Theory and Holography 01:16:00 What Are Bousso Bounds? 01:22:58 Is Gravity a Quantum Error-Correcting Code? 01:32:09 Is Gravity a Fundamental Force?  01:37:25 On String Theory and the Multiverse Robinson's Website: http://robinsonerhardt.com Robinson Erhardt researches symbolic logic and the foundations of mathematics at Stanford University.

In this week's episode of Loving Wellness, I'm chatting with Eva Hooft. Eva is a Holistic Health & Detox Coach, CRT Practitioner, Neo Emotional Release facilitator and Breathwork and Sound healer. In her work, she focuses on detoxing the mind, body, and spirit to bring people back into total body alignment through different holistic modalities such as intestinal, gallbladder and liver flushes, parasite & heavy metal cleanses, as well as the foundational emotional work. Her focus is on reconnecting you to your highest self and she is here to help you embody your true power. In the episode, we cover:  Detox 101- what is detoxification, why do we need to support it, and how it's much more than just going on a cleanse How to support your body's natural detox pathways Parasites- why are so many people talking about them and are they really the root cause to health issues? How to clear parasites out of the body without having to do a parasite cleanse & the terrain theory Why the way we talk to ourselves MATTERS and how to change your mindset around food from restriction to abundance How to determine if a health decision is out of love or out of fear Reconnecting back to your intuition so you can make health choices that work for you How to stop outsourcing your healing to others Neo-emotional release: what it is & why emotional healing is a key part of the healing journey Spiritual growth & how it relates to the physical body The spiritual ego and how to let go of it The importance of community and relationships for true healing ...and so much more!
