In this video, we're going to explore the incredible power of gedankenexperiments, or thought experiments, and how they can fundamentally change the way you think.Do you want to unlock your creativity, sharpen your critical thinking skills, and foster a deeper sense of curiosity? Thought experiments are powerful mental tools used by the greatest minds in history, from Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton to Werner Heisenberg and Niels Bohr. They are mental simulations designed to explore the implications and consequences of a hypothesis without a real-world setup. They force you to confront your assumptions and challenge your preconceived notions. It's the ultimate exercise in problem solving.Think about Isaac Newton's cannon: he imagined a cannonball fired from a mountain to understand orbital mechanics. This simple hypothetical laid the groundwork for our understanding of gravity. Or consider Schrödinger's cat, the "zombie cat" paradox proposed by Erwin Schrödinger. He used this bizarre scenario not to suggest a cat could be both alive and dead, but to highlight the strange interpretation of quantum mechanics. It's a brilliant example of using an outlandish idea to provoke deeper inquiry.The most famous moral dilemma of all is the trolley problem. You see a runaway trolley speeding toward five people. You can pull a lever to divert it, killing only one person. This scenario has no easy answer; it's designed to make you examine your own ethical frameworks and understand concepts of responsibility.The book "Learn to Think Using Thought Experiments" by Patrick King is a comprehensive guide to mastering this invaluable skill. It's a practical guide to using these mental tools for your own cognitive development and intellectual growth. You'll learn how to create your own thought experiments and use them to improve everything from your career to your personal relationships. Imagine using a thought experiment to test a new business idea or to make a difficult life decision. The book equips you with the tools for these mental simulations.The book delves into a wide range of thought experiments, from those of physicists like Werner Heisenberg and Niels Bohr to philosophical puzzles that challenge our understanding of consciousness and free will. It even touches on concepts from other fields, such as the famous Geiger counter, used in a way to illustrate randomness and probability.This isn't about memorizing facts; it's about cultivating metacognition—the ability to think about your own thinking. By using thought experiments, you learn to question everything, explore every possibility, and think like a philosopher. You'll move beyond simple facts and into the realm of deeper understanding, honing your imagination and learning to see the world not just as it is, but as it could be.If you're ready to expand your mental horizons, improve your problem-solving skills, and ignite your...
From a falling apple to the fabric of spacetime, how did humanity unravel the rulebook of the universe? This episode of The Human Odyssey takes you on a journey through the most profound revolution in the history of human thought: the story of physics. We begin in the clockwork universe of Isaac Newton, a world of certainty and predictability where the same laws governed the planets and a cannonball. For centuries, it seemed we had solved the puzzle of creation. But as the 19th century closed, cracks began to appear in this perfect edifice. We'll explore the baffling puzzles, like the "ultraviolet catastrophe" and the "photoelectric effect," that classical physics couldn't solve, setting the stage for a radical new understanding. Join us as we witness the two great upheavals of the 20th century. We'll follow Max Planck and Albert Einstein as they take the "quantum leap," revealing a bizarre subatomic world of probability and uncertainty. Then, we'll journey with Einstein again as he completely rewrites our understanding of space, time, and gravity with his theory of general relativity. Finally, we arrive at the frontier of modern physics—the quest for a unified theory, the "unfinished symphony" that seeks to connect the world of the very large with the world of the very small. This is the story of how our conception of reality was shattered and rebuilt, time and again, by humanity's relentless curiosity.

David Carson from Dumbify delves into the intriguing concept that embracing "dumb" thinking can often lead to innovative solutions. We explore how society has cultivated a reluctance to ask seemingly foolish questions, thereby stifling creativity and potential breakthroughs. Our conversation is enriched by anecdotes illustrating how historical figures, like Isaac Newton, harnessed the power of curiosity and unorthodox thinking to arrive at revolutionary ideas. We also reflect on personal experiences and methodologies that advocate for a shift in mindset—encouraging individuals to welcome and cultivate their "dumb" thoughts as a pathway to discovery and success. Takeaways: Throughout history, the concept of 'dumb' has surprisingly provided solutions to complex problems. As individuals gain more knowledge, they often realize how much they still do not know. Encouraging the asking of seemingly 'dumb' questions can lead to significant creative breakthroughs. Creative thoughts often stem from individuals attempting to replicate others but failing, thereby generating originality. Rewarding curiosity in educational settings can foster a more open and innovative learning environment. The practice of intentionally thinking 'dumb' can lead to the development of new and effective solutions.

Isaac Newton est l'un des noms les plus connus de toute l'histoire des sciences. Mais derrière la légende du savant solitaire et de la fameuse pomme, il y a un homme bien plus complexe. Dans cette vidéo, on remonte au XVIIe siècle pour comprendre son époque, ses obsessions, et la manière dont il a posé les bases de la physique moderne.De ses débuts à Cambridge à son isolement pendant la peste, des expériences sur la lumière et les couleurs jusqu'à l'invention du calcul différentiel, on suit pas à pas le parcours d'un esprit obsédé par l'idée de relier le ciel et la Terre sous les mêmes lois. On explore aussi ses côtés méconnus : sa fascination pour l'alchimie, ses rivalités féroces, et sa quête presque maladive de contrôle et de reconnaissance.De la gravité universelle aux Principia Mathematica, de ses conflits avec Hooke et Leibniz à son rôle à la Royal Mint, Newton n'a pas seulement découvert des lois : il a inventé une manière de faire de la science qui nous accompagne encore aujourd'hui. Et si Einstein a redéfini certains de ses concepts, l'ombre de Newton plane toujours sur tout ce que nous calculons, prévoyons et comprenons de l'univers.
Love him or hate him, many consider Elon Musk to be a modern-day genius. He co-founded PayPal, which transformed how people purchase things. He became the CEO of Tesla, which revolutionized electric vehicles—and made it cool to drive them. He founded SpaceX, accomplishing what only superpower nation-states have previously. And he is working to make our species interplanetary—maybe in a few years, we'll be doing this podcast on Mars. To many, these acts make Elon Musk a genius, perhaps the most important genius in history. But it's worth asking: What exactly makes him a genius? Is it a particular set of qualities, or is Elon Musk just particularly adept at playing the role of genius? Or at least what we've come to expect of geniuses? Is his offensive behavior excused by his genius, or the result of it? And why do human beings value genius, even to the point of deifying it? All of these questions are raised in Helen Lewis's new book, The Genius Myth. And not just with regard to Musk, but to so many of the figures our culture venerates as geniuses: Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo, William Shakespeare, Isaac Newton, Pablo Picasso, Albert Einstein, and Steve Jobs. Lewis asks: Were these people actually geniuses? Or was their genius based on a myth? And more importantly, how does our perception of “genius” confuse and distort our understanding of success—and how we value, or don't value, other human beings? Today on Honestly, Bari asks Helen Lewis if some people belong to a special and superior class, what it means to be a genius, and if she believes in geniuses at all.

Send us a textWelcome to the latest episode of Living Proof, our podcast produced in collaboration with Plus.maths.org– you can find all the content from the collaboration here.On May 30th 2024 seminar goers at Princeton University witnessed a thrilling moment. The mathematician Zhouli Xu of the University of California, LA, announced that, together with colleagues he had sorted out the 126th dimension. Not in general, but in regards to a problem that has taunted mathematicians since the 1960s. The problem involves strange shapes and is called the Kervaire invariant problem, after the mathematician Michel Kervaire.In this episode, Zhouli takes us on a trip into higher dimensions, giving us a gist of what this long-standing problem is all about and retracing some of the long, and sometimes arduous, journey towards a proof. We met Zhouli when he visited the Isaac Newton institute for Mathematical Sciences (INI) in Cambridge to take part in a research programme called Equivariant homotopy theory in Context.To find out more abut the topics discussed in this podcast see:Maths in a minute: TopologyThe hypersphere in four dimensionsTelescope topology
The Royal Observatory at Greenwich has been one of the most important skywatching sites in history – not so much for what it told us about the stars, but for its role right here on Earth. Its location marked the starting point for measuring longitude – the position east and west on the globe. It also marked the time standard for the entire world: Greenwich Mean Time. The observatory was established on today’s date in 1675, by King Charles II. It was built on a hill near London, overlooking the Thames. Greenwich was created to provide highly accurate maps of the stars, and to measure the motions of the Sun, Moon, and planets. The work was designed to help sailors determine their longitude. Establishing longitude at sea was extremely difficult – and dangerous; many ships crashed because their navigators didn’t know where they were. The observations also played a key scientific role: they helped confirm that the motions of the Sun, Moon, and planets were governed by Isaac Newton’s laws of gravity. In 1833, the observatory began a “time service.” It dropped a ball from a tall pole at precisely 1 p.m. That allowed mariners to set their clocks before they sailed. Greenwich later transmitted the time to the whole country by telegraph, then radio. The observatory was moved in the 20th century, and closed in 1998. Today, the Greenwich site is a museum – preserving an important part of world history. Script by Damond Benningfield

Gabriella Greison"Dove tutto può accadere"Dirac, la fisica quantistica, l'arte, i sogni impossibili e altre cose cosìMondadori Editorewww.mondadori.itCircolo dei LettoriVenerdì 4 luglio 2025, ore 18:00Salotto Letterario, Via Principessa Clotilde 10, MoncalieriC'è un filo invisibile che unisce tutto?Dove l'acqua è più blu | nell'ambito di Moncalieri d'estate, con il sostegno di Smat | Con Gabriella Greison“Con il principio di indeterminazione di Heisenberg diciamo che non tutto si può misurare, con l'equazione di Schrödinger possiamo affermare che non c'è nulla di definitivo nelle cose che non vediamo, con il principio di esclusione di Pauli possiamo sostenere che tutto è fatto di vuoto, con l'equazione di Dirac riempiamo quel vuoto e diciamo che il mondo è tutto ciò che accade e anche tutto ciò che può accadere. L'insegnamento ultimo che mi hanno lasciato è uno solo: non voglio niente di meno del massimo della luce.” Prendendo a prestito la voce della figlia Monica, Gabriella Greison racconta la bizzarra esistenza e le ancor più straordinarie intuizioni di uno dei padri della fisica quantistica, Paul Dirac, fisico premio Nobel 1933. Dirac è stato un fisico geniale e un uomo strambo e meticoloso, costantemente impegnato a elaborare formule, fra cui quella meraviglia grazie alla quale è entrato nella storia della scienza e che lo indica sulla lapide nell'Abbazia di Westminster a fianco di Isaac Newton: i? + ?? = m?. Nel suo contributo fondamentale al progresso dell'umanità, Dirac ha messo in connessione la meccanica quantistica con la relatività ristretta, scrivendo la formula che spiega l'Universo e che predice l'esistenza dell'antimateria, quindi l'esistenza in natura di coppie, come l'elettrone e il positrone, che fanno tandem fisso in ogni mondo e in ogni pianeta, stupefacente metafora dell'unione degli opposti. Dove tutto può accadere intreccia l'esistenza e il lavoro scientifico di Dirac con l'adesione alla rivoluzione culturale della scena inglese degli anni Sessanta della figlia Monica, che ha “lasciato l'Università per andare a scoprire i Beatles”, mescolando fisica quantistica, musica, bellezza e Kandinskij. Un viaggio originale e sorprendente in cui Greison riesce da par suo a unire scienza e arte, invitandoci a capire che ogni sogno, anche il più impossibile, è realizzabile: lo certifica l'equazione di Dirac.Gabriella Greison è fisica, scrittrice, attrice, divulgatrice scientifica e soprattutto narratrice di meccanica quantistica. Laureata in Fisica nucleare all'Università Statale di Milano, ha lavorato, tra l'altro, all'École Polytechnique di Parigi. Definita dal “Corriere della Sera” e dalla stampa americana “la rockstar della fisica”, è autrice di tredici libri di divulgazione sulla fisica quantistica e per Mondadori ha pubblicato Ucciderò il gatto di Schrödinger, Guida quantistica per anticonformisti, La donna della bomba atomica. Da ogni libro ha tratto un monologo o uno spettacolo teatrale. Ha ideato e condotto podcast, programmi radio e tv, tra cui “Pillole di fisica” sulla Rai, “Il favoloso mondo della fisica quantistica” su Mediaset, “La teoria di tutte” su Sky Italia.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLE ascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.
In this powerful episode, Kevin takes you on a deep dive into the true nature of reality and the fundamental rules of the game we call life. Most people live trapped inside what Kevin calls the “Matrix” — the small, visible portion of reality that we can see, hear, touch, taste, and smell. But this matrix makes up less than 1% of all that exists. The other 99% is the endless realm — an invisible energetic dimension of consciousness, thought, and spiritual DNA that governs the cause behind every effect we experience in the physical world.Kevin explains the concept of cause and effect through the famous butterfly effect: how the flap of a butterfly's wings on one side of the world can set off a chain of events leading to a tornado thousands of miles away. This illustrates how everything is connected energetically, even if we cannot perceive it directly. Our everyday actions, even as small as slamming a car door, ripple through this unseen realm to create effects far beyond what we imagine.The challenge for most of us is that we live focusing only on the matrix — the shadows on the wall — trying to change our lives by adjusting surface-level events. But true, lasting transformation can only happen when we connect to the endless realm, the spiritual source where the root causes lie. Kevin uses the analogy of a shadow on the sidewalk: you cannot move a person's arm by touching their shadow; you must reach the arm itself to create real change.Throughout history, great minds like Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, and spiritual leaders such as Jesus, Muhammad, Moses, and Siddhartha have tapped into this endless realm to bring forth life-altering inventions, ideas, and teachings. They accessed the alpha state — the true source of power and creation — enabling them to shape reality beyond the physical.Kevin invites listeners to recognize the two basic realities we live within: the matrix (the limited physical world) and the endless realm (the vast energetic dimension). To win the game of life, you must learn to live fully in the world without being trapped of the matrix. By expanding your awareness beyond the less than 1% and stepping into your alpha state — your true spiritual DNA — you gain the ability to see clearly, act consciously, and create meaningful change.This episode is a call to awaken from the illusion of limited perception and to elevate your consciousness. It offers a foundational understanding of why most people feel stuck, powerless, or disconnected, and shows how connecting with the endless realm is the key to breaking free and mastering the game of life.Join Kevin on this journey as he guides you to lift the fog, find clarity, and harness the unseen forces shaping your reality. Elevate your alpha — your true power lies beyond the matrix.
In today's culture, openly identifying as a religious person often invites skepticism. Such individuals are frequently perceived as naïve, unsophisticated, or even unintelligent idiots. There is a prevailing belief that faith is a relic of childhood, while intellect demands a rejection of religion. Intelligence, after all, is often measured by the IQ—or Intelligence Quotient—with the average score being 100. For context, Albert Einstein scored around 160, Charles Darwin 165, Galileo 185, and Isaac Newton an extraordinary 190. Currently, the person widely regarded as having the highest recorded IQ is an American named Christopher Langan, often referred to as “the world's smartest man.” In a recent interview, Langan was asked a profound question: “What should someone do with their life?” His response surprised many: “Search for God. Ask God to establish a personal relationship with you. It's available. If you're not receptive, you're cutting yourself off from God. And once you do that, you do not share the identity of reality itself. You're done. Once your physical body expires, there is nothing that will carry you because you have denied it and rejected it.” Coming from someone of such immense intellect, his words challenge the common narrative that faith and intelligence are incompatible. Perhaps, instead of seeing religion as a weakness of the mind, we might begin to consider it as a strength of the soul—a pursuit not of ignorance, but of ultimate truth. In this Sunday's gospel passage Jesus says, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid”* (John 14:27), He is offering something far deeper than mere comfort. The peace of Jesus is not the fragile calm the world offers—dependent on circumstances or fleeting moments of ease—but a profound, enduring presence rooted in divine love. His peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of God in the midst of it. It is a gift anchored in trust, in the knowledge that we are not alone, even when life feels uncertain or overwhelming. This peace is spiritual and eternal. It doesn't promise a life free of pain, but it does promise that pain will never have the final word. Jesus speaks these words as He prepares to face betrayal, suffering, and the cross—yet He chooses to reassure His disciples. He knows fear is natural, but He calls them to look beyond it, to a peace that comes from knowing Him. It's the kind of peace that quiets the soul during storms, that gives courage in the face of fear, and hope in the presence of despair. To live in this peace is to trust that God's love sustains us through every trial. Jesus invites us not just to believe in Him, but to rest in Him—to lay down anxiety and rise with calm hearts, not troubled or afraid, but confident in the promise that He is always with us. The smartest thing we can do is to put our trust in Jesus Christ. Or simply put, be religious you idiots. --- Help Spread the Good News --- Father Brian's homilies are shared freely thanks to generous listeners like you.

Hebreos 11:3.Isaac Newton era un científico curioso por los fenómenos del mundo. Quería descubrir los secretos de cómo funciona el planeta, e incluso el universo. Desde niño, le gustaba observar la naturaleza y analizar los detalles de las plantas, de los animales, de la lluvia, del trueno y de los días de sol también.Se cuenta que, al observar una manzana que caía de un árbol, notó que había una fuerza en la Tierra que atrae siempre a las cosas hacia abajo. El nombre de esa fuerza es la «gravedad» y tú puedes probar eso al soltar un lápiz de tus manos. Bien, sugiero que hagas esa prueba ahora. Yo espero...¿Qué sucedió? No te estoy viendo hacer la prueba, pero estoy segura de que el lápiz cayó al suelo cuando lo soltaste. El lápiz no podría ir hacia arriba o hacia el costado, justamente porque existe la gravedad. Esa fuerza es muy importante, porque sin ella estaríamos volando, sin firmeza en los pies, al igual que los astronautas en el espacio.Dios planificó cada detalle del universo. Creó todo y también elaboró las fuerzas que permiten que exista la vida en este mundo.Mi oración: Mi Creador, gracias por crear la fuerza de la gravedad y por cuidarme con fuerza y amor.

I thought I might share a few random bits and bobs from my little life for you to ponder today, starting with various interviews.Here I am on the mighty James Delingpole's podcast, talking about most subjects, though squabbling about conspiracy theories.Then there is this interview with Jasmine Birtles for the Money Magpie podcast, talking mostly about gold and property. (Audio on Spotify; video on YouTube). Also this radio interview with ABC Australia, I was quite pleased with. Here it is.And, if bitcoin is your thing, here I am on the Discovering Bitcoin podcast.Right. That's all the interviews done.A Thief in our MidstTurning to matters closer to home, there is a beautiful cat, pictured below, which belongs to a Chinese lady, who lives three doors up. She visits my garden every morning (the cat not the Chinese lady) as I am getting my 15 minutes of sun, purrs seductively, gets stroked, and then wanders off on its day to do who knows what. If I leave the back door open, she will come into my house and visit me at my desk, stretch out luxuriantly and, if I pick her up, start padding my chest pleasantly. I thought we had become friends.Well, you can't trust anyone.I now discover this feline fiend has been sneaking into my son's room to steal his socks, which it then brings back to its owner three doors up. Here it is. Caught red handed.A Rare Trip to the TheatreOn Wednesday I went to see The Comedy About Spies in the West End. It's not something I would have normally gone to watch, but my friend Tom Woods had some tickets he couldn't use and so off I went with my next door neighbour. I thought it was terrific. Thank you Tom!I'm obsessed with farce. Always have been since I first watched Fawlty Towers as a little boy. (I actually did my university thesis on Fawlty Towers). It's my favourite form of theatre by a country mile. I love the precision of it, along with the heightened emotion and panic. Done well there is no better narrative form, in my opinion. Films like Midnight Run and TV series like Curb Your Enthusiasm, in my view, embrace farcical plot schemes. But if you want a farce in its purest form on film, watch What's Up Doc. Just the best.The premise of The Comedy About Spies is a little bit forced, but the jokes are fab, there are hundreds of them, one after the other, they are brilliantly executed and with incredible precision - it's wonderful to see a show this tight. By the end I even found myself moved by the characters. I LOLed many times. What can I say? It's really good. What's your favourite farce? Let me know in the comments.The South Africanisation of EverythingIn other, less positive news, on Tuesday evening I found myself walking down the Kilburn High Road for the first time in about 25 years. It was always a bit rough around the edges - up there with Elephant & Castle and Streatham High Road as one of London's most worst thoroughfares - but my God it was eye-opening as to where the UK is going / has gone.Litter everywhere, people off their faces, drugs being dealt openly on the street, beggars, a woman knocked over by a bloke cycling a Lime bike on the pavement, the bloke unapologetic, little trust between visible between people in this multi-cultural mayhem. Talk about lack of cohesion. (I drove through Harlesden the other night and that was bad too).It confirmed my theory of the South Africanisation of everything. (Actually it's my friend Alex's theory, but I have purloined it). It prompted me to dig up this piece from a couple of years back, which at one point was the most read piece on this ‘ere Substack. On re-reading it now, I'm rather proud of it. Recommended.The Secret History of GoldIn personal news, I am glad/relieved to say I submitted the final proofs for my new book on gold which comes out in August - the Secret History of Gold (I haven't actually announced it yet, which I will in due course). Writing a book is an enormous undertaking. Publicising it is an even greater one. I'm glad stage one is complete.How about this for a fact?In 1930 the price of gold was £4.25 per ounce, as it was in 1716 when Isaac Newton set the price over 200 years earlier. FOUR POUNDS 25p. Today it's £2,475 per ounce. From £4.25 to £2,475. That's how much we've been robbed by currency depreciation.How have they (successive governments) been able to get away with this?Because representative democracy does not work is why.Thank goodness for gold. Thank goodness for bitcoin. Speaking of which:As always, if you are looking to buy gold, the bullion dealer I use and recommend is the Pure Gold Company. Pricing is competitive, quality of service is high. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe or you can store your gold with them. Find out more here.The Mid-Year ReviewWearing my satirical comedy hat, I have a big gig coming up on May 20 in East London. These nights are usually pretty memorable - and for the right reasons.If you are free, come along. You can get tickets here. It would be great to see you.Finally, in case you missed this week's commentary, here it is:Have a lovely bank holiday weekend.Fun fact: Mayday - not as in the bank holiday, but as in the distress call for a ship or a plane is actually from the French, “M'aidez” - help me. May Day is an ancient festival to celebrate the beginning of summer (or as is the case in the UK this year, the end of summer), though socialists hijacked it with International Workers' Day. So now we are all crying “M'aidez” on May Day.Tell your friends about this entertaining catch up. This is a public episode.

Historically Thinking: Conversations about historical knowledge and how we achieve it
Albert Einstein died in 1955, the most influential scientist of the 20th century. Yet even in the 21st-century his intellectual presence remains – seven of the noble prizes awarded since 2000 stemmed directly from the work which he did in 1905 and 1915. More even than Isaac Newton's bewigged and apple-pelted image, Einstein's pervades popular culture, from that photo with his tongue sticking out to coffee mugs to intellectual exercises for your toddler. He has become so ubiquitous that perhaps we have come to forget that he was a real person, whose life is interconnected with the most important political and intellectual movements of his life, from Zionism to Nazism, from pacifism to nuclear weapons. In their beautifully concise new biography, Free Creations of the Human Mind: The World of Albert Einstein, Michael Gordin and Diana Kormos Buchwald present an Einstein who is embedded in his historical context, and who has a range of interests, passions, and ideas that are perhaps generally unappreciated. In the process they disentangle controversies, destroy myths, and provide a nuanced account of a remarkable life in turbulent times. Michael D. Gordin is Rosengarten Professor of Modern and Contemporary History at Princeton University, where he also serves as Dean of the College. Diana Kormos Buchwald, who could not be with us for the recording, is General Editor and director of the Albert Einstein Papers.
This episode is a weighty one. Some might say massive. It's all about gravity. What is it? Why does it matter? Izzie and Dr Becky explore Einstein and Newton's different ideas on the subject, plus Izzie visits the Royal Society to see Isaac Newton's original manuscript for his works on gravity and the laws of motion. Special thank you to listener Hanna_m_e for suggesting this episode topic and to Professor Tessa Baker, at the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation at the University of Portsmouth, and to Keith Moore, head of collections at the Royal Society for appearing on the show.

Fifteen years later, things are starting to feel a little uncomfortable.The scientific method— common sense codified— is used for everything under the sun:Marketing? A/B tested.Ads? Split tested.Vaccines. Test Immune Response.Water Purification. PasteurizationFertilizer. Identify Kill BacteriaSpace travel? Rocket science.The scientific method dates back to the 16th and 17th centuries, with brilliant thinkers like Sir Francis Bacon and Isaac Newton laying the groundwork. It's shaped our world ever since.Yet when it comes to habit development—the stuff that changes lives...Where is the scientific method in habit development?Awkwardly, it seems behavioral science keeps directing us to the habit loop.Again. And again.Cue → Routine → Reward.If you're a rodent, a deer, or a cow, the habit loop is terrific.
En este programa, que coincidió con el Día Mundial del Teatro, os ofrecemos tres dramatizaciones de tres momentos importantes de la historia de la ciencia: escucharemos a Galileo Galilei conversar con Urbano VIII en el día en que se retractó de la teoría heliocéntrica, trataremos junto a Edmund Halley de usar los océanos para averiguar la edad de la Tierra y seguiremos a Évariste Galois en la noche más extraordinaria de la historia de las matemáticas. Para ello contaremos con el inigualable elenco actoral formado por Alberto Aparici, Santi García Cremades, Carlos Alsina y Begoña Gómez de la Fuente. Edmund Halley es un reincidente en esta sección: hablamos ya de él en el episodio s05e16, en el que explicamos que su mayor descubrimiento fue, en realidad, Isaac Newton. Este programa se emitió originalmente el 27 de marzo de 2025. Podéis escuchar el resto de audios de Más de Uno en la app de Onda Cero y en su web, ondacero.es
In the 1600s, Isaac Newton conducted a series of experiments to better understand the lights and colors that sometimes appear when your eyes are closed. If you've ever sat around an evening campfire or unintentionally glanced at the Sun, you may have noticed illuminated patterns briefly dance along your vision. So how do these visual illusions form? Paul Taylor explores the science of afterimages. [Directed by Sofia Pashaei, narrated by Alexandra Panzer, music by Cem Misirlioglu, WORKPLAYWORK]. Hosted on Acast.

On today's episode, McKay talks to the audience about the importance of faith, and begins by introducing the story of Desmond Doss and his unwavering faith and peaceful determination at Hacksaw Ridge. McKay frames faith as a commitment to a choice, and the more we act on that choice, the more we reinforce our faith - reminiscent of Isaac Newton's laws of motion. Moving forward and taking steps, no matter how small, keeps our momentum in the right direction.He next advises listeners to eliminate distractions since they only serve to slow us down and divert us from our faith and purpose. Fear can also skew faith; it can lead to feelings of helplessness and certainly loneliness, and that's why McKay talks so much about action and moving forward. He draws this episode to a close by urging everyone to feed their faith for at least 15 minutes everyday, noting that human potential is limitless, and to let that go to waste would be a shame. The Finer Details of This Episode:Desmond's faith at Hacksaw RidgeCommitment to choicesThe importance of moving forwardScottie Scheffler's Masters winEliminating distractions5 truths about fearsWhy human potential is limitlessFeeding your faithQuotes: “The more you act, the more faith you create. My faith is strong and grows when I am in an active state. When I am in a passive state, I lose my faith.”“In an active state, you learn, grow and feel like you are doing something within your control.”“Distraction is the great thief in life. It will divert your attention, capture your interest, and rarely return any value to your life. When you decide to do something remarkable in your life and place your faith in yourself and your decision, the first thing to do is to clear the path; remove any potential distractions.”“What we need to realize is that faith is a sales job. Each day we are selling to ourselves the thing in which we are placing our faith. That means the longer we go without acting on that thing, the less likely we are to act.”“Remember, action is the great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is the result of fear. Any action is better than no action at all. To prevent the law of diminishing intent, act now.”“Each day, set aside 15 minutes to feed your faith. It's a daily feeding time that will keep you focused and give you the wherewithal to keep your mind in the direction you should go.”Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

The astronomer Vicar who borrowed a massive telescope and propped it up on his church tower to change the way we thing about the universe. Oh and calculated something that had stumped Isaac Newton no less. Getting his neighbours to fire canons left, right and centre, but never neglecting his parishioners.

Quand le passé n'a jamais eu lieu. Périodes entières inventées, figures historiques imaginaires, événements majeurs falsifiés : le récentisme soutient que notre chronologie officielle a été construite de toutes pièces par des faussaires avides de pouvoir. Dans cet épisode, Gaël et Geoffroy démêlent les fils de cette théorie vertigineuse qui considère que l'Histoire est une gigantesque imposture. Des spéculations savantes d'Isaac Newton aux hypothèses radicales de François de Sarre, en passant par les équations chronologiques d'Anatoly Fomenko, ils explorent un récit alternatif qui bouleverse notre conception au temps et interroge notre rapport à la vérité et à la fabrication du réel.

The Enlightenment's Most Dangerous Woman: Émilie du Châtelet and the Making of Modern Philosophy (Oxford UP, 2024) introduces the work and legacy of philosopher Émilie Du Châtelet. As the Enlightenment gained momentum throughout Europe, Châtelet broke through the many barriers facing women at the time and published a major philosophical treatise in French. Due to her proclamation that a true philosopher must remain an independent thinker rather than a disciple of some supposedly great man like Isaac Newton or René Descartes, Châtelet posed a threat to an emerging consensus in the Enlightenment. The Enlightenment's Most Dangerous Woman highlights the exclusion of women from colleges and academies in Europe and the fear of rupturing the gender-based order.

On again, off again tariffs will impact beer pricesI don't know what to say about these tariffs. We record a show and talk about them going into effect, then they're paused again. We can't keep up. However, a lot of folks aren't buying the delays and making big changes to the way they do business. In the end, if they do go into effect, it's going to impact the price of your beer, and mostly likely everything else.Monster Beverage took a huge loss on their beer business. Good. They gobbled up some great breweries and did terrible things with them. Most of the people we cared about at these places have moved on. I don't wish ill will for any that remain, but Monster can go pound sand.We've always said, "It's OK, if it's an a 3-way." It's kind of our motto.

Sir Isaac Newton was an English polymath active as a mathematician, physicist, astronomer, alchemist, theologian, and author. Newton was a key figure in the Scientific Revolution and the following Enlightenment. His book Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, first published in 1687, achieved the first great unification in physics and established classical mechanics. While Newton pioneered the laws of motion and universal gravitation that formed the dominant scientific viewpoint for centuries, his first love was religious studies, specifically the issue of The Trinity, which he vehemently opposed in his secret writings. Peer down the telescope as Joel focuses on the hidden side of Isaac Newton's battle with the Catholic Church and what he deemed as the false doctrine of The Trinity. He then lays out the conflict between Athanasius and Arius, in which Newton took the side of Arius, who rejected the view of the Three in One. Joel then breaks down the Johannine Comma, which is the Trinity's most clear-cut verse, and whether or not it should have been included in the Bible.
