Could a pandemic business-plan lesson for a bored kid spark the next breakout fast-casual brand?This episode moves fast — because Rob Gresham's career has never slowed down. Chris Ressa sits with the restaurant veteran who went from washing dishes at 15 to helping architect the early operational engine behind CAVA's meteoric growth from zero to 80 stores.Rob shares the wild ride: running a steakhouse kitchen as a teenager, getting recruited by Chipotle to fix troubled locations, learning the business side under industry giants, and joining CAVA before it was a household name — building systems, opening markets, and helping scale a brand that eventually went public.Then the pandemic hit. Consulting work vanished. His son was bored. So Rob turned a homeschool project into something much bigger: a business plan for a scratch-made, allergen-conscious chicken concept. When it came time to name it, Rob's son delivered the winner: Isaac's — inspired by Isaac Newton, who invented calculus and discovered gravity while quarantined during the plague. “He changed the world in quarantine,” his son said. “You created a restaurant. Name it Isaac's.”Today, Isaac's Poultry Market has two booming locations, a cult following, and the DNA of a future fast-casual standout. Rob's story is momentum, grit, and timing — the kind Retail Retold was made for.What You'll Hear:How Rob went from washing dishes at 15 to helping scale CAVA into an 80-unit national powerhouseThe pivotal career moves — and mentors — that shaped his operator mindsetWhy he left CAVA at its peak and walked straight into entrepreneurshipThe pandemic moment that sparked Isaac's Poultry Market (and how his son named it)What it really takes to open a restaurant during supply-chain chaos and skyrocketing construction costsHow Rob chose his first two locations — and the real-world negotiation battles behind themWhy exclusives matter, how fast-casual operators think about competition, and the markets he's targeting nextThe scratch-made, allergen-friendly philosophy behind Isaac's menuAnd the big question: Is Isaac's positioned to become the next major fast-casual brand?Chapters00:00 — From Dish Pit to DriveHow a 15-year-old dishwasher discovered his path — and his ambition — in the restaurant world.02:00 — Learning the Business Beyond the KitchenThe mentors and moments that pushed Rob from chef to full-scale operator.04:45 — Chipotle, CAVA, and Fixing What's BrokenRob's early role in stabilizing stores and helping build CAVA's operational backbone from day zero.06:30 — Building a Rocketship BrandCross-country construction sprints, tiny founding teams, and opening stores at breakneck speed.09:00 — The Decision to Walk AwayWhy Rob left CAVA at its peak and refused to transition into an office role.13:00 — Pandemic Curveball → Entrepreneurial BreakthroughHow a business-plan lesson with his son turned into the foundation for Isaac's Poultry Market.14:00 — Naming Isaac's: A Quarantine Stroke of GeniusThe Isaac Newton inspiration that became a bold, meaningful brand name.17:00 — Building Location #1 in a Broken Supply ChainConstruction chaos, blown budgets, and the reality of opening a restaurant during COVID.22:00 — The Battle for Location #2Inside the seven-month negotiation to secure exclusives and protect the emerging brand.29:00 — The Future of Isaac's Poultry MarketHow Rob is approaching growth, second-gen spaces, and...

In this episode, we continue our conversation with Matt Herrero, Joel Chapman, Weston Gaylord, Ken Savage, and Jessia Hoffman about their musical GRAVITY: A Newtonian Musical. When physics prodigy Sophie is accidentally catapulted back in time, her meet-cute with 23 year-old Isaac Newton prevents him from discovering gravity—trapping Sophie in 1666. To return home, Sophie must restore history and navigate the Enlightenment, where Natural Philosophers are the pop stars of their day. Along the way, she encounters historical luminaries such as up-and-comer Edmond Halley, Isaac's rival Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz, and the unknown author Margaret Cavendish, who is embroiled in her own quest for fame and scientific recognition.  GRAVITY is a hilarious romantic comedy, smashing together madcap time travel mayhem and delightfully remixed history. This episode features the songs, “Let Us Enlighten You”, performed by Marcus Jamal Paige, Dave Abrams, Nathaniel Rothrock, and Weston Gaylord, as well as “In My Own Time” performed by Taylor Iman Jones and Matt Herrero.

We explore how space and time form a single fabric, testing our daily beliefs through questions about free-fall, black holes, speed, and momentum to reveal what models get right and where they break. To help us, we're excited to have our friend David Theriault, a science and sci-fi afficionado; and our resident astrophysicist, Rachel Losacco, to talk about practical exploration in space and time. They'll even unpack a few concerns they have about how space and time were depicted in the movie Interstellar (2014).Highlights:• Introduction: Why fundamentals beat shortcuts in science and AI• Time as experience versus physical parameter• Plato's ideals versus Aristotle's change as framing tools• Free-fall, G-forces, and what we actually feel• Gravity wells, curvature, and moving through space-time• Black holes, tidal forces, and spaghettification• Momentum and speed: Laser probe, photon momentum, and braking limits• Doppler shifts, time dilation, and length contraction• Why light's speed stays constant across frames• Modeling causality and preparing for the next paradigmThis episode about space and time is the second in our series about metaphysics and modern AI. Each topic in the series is leading to the fundamental question, "Should AI try to think?" Step away from your keyboard and enjoy this journey with us.

Kita sering menganggap "sains" sebagai sebuah entitas tunggal yang selalu ada, sebuah pencarian kebenaran abadi tentang alam semesta. Namun, Peter Dear dalam The World as We Know It mengungkap sebuah cerita yang jauh lebih kompleks dan menarik. Ia membawa kita kembali ke masa ketika para pemikir seperti Isaac Newton tidak menganggap diri mereka "ilmuwan," melainkan "filsuf alam." Bagi mereka, memahami kosmos bukan hanya soal rumus matematis, tetapi soal mengungkap tatanan ilahi dan kebijaksanaan Sang Pencipta. Buku ini adalah kronik memukau tentang pergeseran fundamental—bagaimana pencarian makna yang bersifat filosofis dan teologis ini secara perlahan berubah menjadi praktik yang terukur, terinstitusionalisasi, dan profesional yang kita kenal sebagai sains modern. Perjalanan dari filsafat alam ke sains modern bukanlah cerita tunggal, melainkan sebuah mosaik yang kaya dari berbagai disiplin yang berjuang menemukan identitasnya. Dear dengan ahli membawa kita menyaksikan bagaimana listrik berubah dari "efek amber" yang aneh di salon-salon Eropa menjadi kekuatan fundamental yang diatur oleh hukum-hukum presisi. Kita mengikuti para naturalis, dari Carl Linnaeus yang terobsesi mengklasifikasikan setiap tanaman hingga Georges Cuvier yang membuktikan adanya "dunia yang hilang" melalui fosil. Ini adalah kisah tentang bagaimana para pemikir bergulat dengan keragaman alam yang luar biasa—mulai dari nebula di langit, afinitas tersembunyi dalam reaksi kimia, hingga tatanan dalam dunia kehidupan. The World as We Know It pada akhirnya adalah sebuah biografi tentang cara berpikir modern. Peter Dear berargumen bahwa sains bukanlah sesuatu yang kita temukan dalam keadaan jadi, melainkan sesuatu yang kita bangun—sebuah praktik yang dibentuk oleh penemuan teleskop, perdebatan sengit di akademi, dan pergeseran institusi dari klub para bangsawan menjadi laboratorium universitas yang didanai dengan baik. Jika Anda pernah bertanya-tanya mengapa dunia kita didominasi oleh para ahli, bagaimana konsep "hukum alam" itu sendiri muncul, dan mengapa kita begitu memercayai metode ilmiah, buku ini memberikan jawaban yang mendalam dan penting untuk memahami fondasi dunia kita saat ini.

In 1848, a 13-pound iron rod exploded through Phineas Gage's skull, destroyed half his brain, and flew out the other side—but instead of dying, he sat up, spoke clearly, and walked nearly a mile to see a doctor... and that's just the beginning of the story!Support our Halloween “Overcoming the Darkness” campaign to help people with depression: https://weirddarkness.com/HOPEIN THIS EPISODE: I've covered numerous stories here in the podcast on people gone missing, never to be seen again. But it's much more rare to have a story about a corpse going missing, never to be seen again. (How Daniel Murdock Saved on Funeral Expenses) *** One thing that has always been a constant in human history is adultery; as is the jilted spouse always being angry about it. One thing that has not been a constant is how society judges those involved in the infidelity. In 1885, there were different opinions about both adulterers as well as the one who murders a homewrecker. (Shot By a Jealous Husband) *** Part of the tablet's translation, according to Isaac Newton, states: “By this means you shall have the glory of the whole world and thereby all obscurity shall fly from you. Its force is above all force, for it vanquishes every subtle thing and penetrates every solid thing.” Cryptic yes, but it appears to indicate immense power for the one who understands and wields it. It comes from the Emerald Tablet – and it's no surprise there are many now who want to know where it is. (The Mystery of the Emerald Tablet) *** The Shimokubo Dam in Japan is unique in that it is supposedly haunted. I've heard of haunted lakes, and haunted roads that go around lakes or past lakes, but I've never heard of a lake that was created by a haunted dam. Shimokubo Dam is supposedly so haunted, that Japan says the stream of ghost hunters and paranormal enthusiasts is out of control. (Japan's Haunted Dam) *** A mysterious creature is reported to be living near a bridge in Zimbabwe which has killed numerous men. What is the Beast of Gwanda Town? (Beast of Gwanda Town) *** A year before the infamous Lizzie Bordon was born, came the birth of Lizzie Halliday – who, though becoming less well known, went on to commit atrocities that would've made Lizzie Bordon's stomach turn. (The Worst Woman on Earth) *** 
His story is legendary. One day while working on the railroad, Phineas Gage tapped on an iron rod that set off an explosion which sent the iron spike through his skull, destroying parts of his brain… yet he lived. But it changed his life… his personality… and it changed the medical and psychological world forever.

Calculus Reordered: A History of the Big Ideas (Princeton UP, 2019) takes readers on a remarkable journey through hundreds of years to tell the story of how calculus evolved into the subject we know today. David Bressoud explains why calculus is credited to seventeenth-century figures Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz, and how its current structure is based on developments that arose in the nineteenth century. Bressoud argues that a pedagogy informed by the historical development of calculus represents a sounder way for students to learn this fascinating area of mathematics. Delving into calculus's birth in the Hellenistic Eastern Mediterranean—particularly in Syracuse, Sicily and Alexandria, Egypt—as well as India and the Islamic Middle East, Bressoud considers how calculus developed in response to essential questions emerging from engineering and astronomy. He looks at how Newton and Leibniz built their work on a flurry of activity that occurred throughout Europe, and how Italian philosophers such as Galileo Galilei played a particularly important role. In describing calculus's evolution, Bressoud reveals problems with the standard ordering of its curriculum: limits, differentiation, integration, and series. He contends that the historical order—integration as accumulation, then differentiation as ratios of change, series as sequences of partial sums, and finally limits as they arise from the algebra of inequalities—makes more sense in the classroom environment. Exploring the motivations behind calculus's discovery, Calculus Reordered highlights how this essential tool of mathematics came to be. David M. Bressoud is DeWitt Wallace Professor of Mathematics at Macalester College and Director of the Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences. His many books include Second Year Calculus and A Radical Approach to Lebesgue's Theory of Integration. He lives in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Johannes Kepler est l'un des grands noms de l'astronomie, célèbre pour avoir formulé les trois lois qui décrivent le mouvement des planètes autour du Soleil. Travaillant à partir des observations précises de Tycho Brahe, Kepler a montré que les orbites ne sont pas parfaitement circulaires, mais elliptiques, une découverte qui a marqué un tournant majeur dans la compréhension du système solaire.Dans cette vidéo, nous plongerons dans le parcours de Kepler, depuis ses débuts modestes jusqu'à son rôle central dans la révolution scientifique. Nous évoquerons son approche méthodique, sa recherche constante d'harmonie mathématique dans les lois de la nature et la manière dont ses travaux ont inspiré Isaac Newton.Nous verrons aussi comment Kepler, en combinant observation et théorie, a su dépasser les préjugés de son époque pour établir des lois encore valables aujourd'hui. Ses découvertes ne sont pas seulement des résultats scientifiques : elles sont l'expression d'une vision du cosmos où l'ordre et la beauté se rejoignent.

Se la tua crush continua a investire in cripto nonostante il tuo cenno alla "Bolla dei tulipani" (puntata 45) e ti propone “un'opportunità pazzesca in una società emergente”, guardala negli occhi e ricordale che anche Isaac Newton si è fatto fregare dalla speculazione finanziaria. E lui ha scoperto il teorema binomiale a 23 anni, mentre lei è al sesto anno della triennale in economia aziendale.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Easter Sunday, 1475, in the city of Trent, a 2-year-old boy named Simon was found dead. This one act triggered a wave of anti-Semitism that wiped out a community of Jewish males and threatened the power of a pope. All from the death of one child.

" Alexander Campbell said these words on June 21, 1877 shortly before his hanging. And true to his word, the handprint he left behind refuses to fade away – no matter how hard people try to remove it. (The Reappearing Handprint) *** A century ago, in July 1920, The Illustrated Police News, ran a single story on its front page, complete with a drawing of a man lying on top of a woman, both surrounded in blood.

(A Case of Criminal Neglect) *** In October you can find haunted house attractions on just about every street corner, with a multitude of themes – haunted asylums, ghost hospitals, zombies in cellars, and hell houses. But in 1905, visitors to Coney Island were treated to a different kind of Hell attraction all year long, not just in October. It was a boat ride that, for the cost of one dime, was meant to literally scare the hell out of you. (Coney Island's Hell Gate) *** What type of person raises a young girl, telling everyone she is their daughter, and then years later marries her? That's just part of “The Disturbing Story of Sharon Marshall.” *** A man wakes up one morning to find his entire family has been handcuffed – and the paranormal is to blame! (Ghost Handcuffs Family) *** It has happened to all of us. Something will disappear, and then come back later or relocate to somewhere else before we find it again. It could be car keys or a wallet, or maybe an important paper. Why does this happen?

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 10-02-2025: Dr. Dawn opens by explaining how blood pressure treatment guidelines have been corrected back to 140/90 after the problematic 2015 SPRINT study temporarily changed recommendations to 120/80. That study used ideal measurement conditions - five minutes of quiet sitting, perfect cuff sizes, compliant patients - creating unrealistic targets that caused elderly patients to faint and break hips. The Veterans Administration and major cardiology organizations now recommend treating to 140/90, with statins only for LDL above 190 or 12% ten-year cardiovascular risk. An emailer asks about claims linking Tylenol to autism. Dr. Dawn thoroughly debunks this, explaining that Swedish studies of 2.5 million children found no association when controlling for sibling comparisons. She notes autism rates remained flat from 1960-1990 despite widespread Tylenol use, then spiked after DSM-4 in 1994 and DSM-5 in 2013 broadened diagnostic criteria. Recall bias skews studies since mothers of autistic children are asked leading questions about past Tylenol use during pregnancy when fever treatment was medically necessary. She discusses RFK Jr.'s mixed positions, comparing him to Isaac Newton who excelled at physics but believed in astrology. While criticizing vaccine misinformation, Dr. Dawn strongly supports RFK's stance on ultra-processed foods. She describes NIH researcher Kevin Hall's studies showing people consume 500 extra calories daily on ultra-processed diets versus whole foods, even when nutrients are matched. The US produces 15,000 calories per person daily, with the food industry engineered to promote overconsumption through hyper-palatable fat-sugar-salt combinations. A caller asks about Healthcare 4.0 plans for biometric tracking bracelets and digital twins. Dr. Dawn discusses privacy concerns around constant health monitoring and data collection, noting that while early disease detection could be valuable, mandatory participation raises serious civil liberties issues. She acknowledges voluntary research projects like the Million Man Study but emphasizes the importance of consent and protection against unauthorized data access by advertisers or government agencies. An emailer shares research on ultrasound brain stimulation helmets as alternatives to surgical electrode implants. Dr. Dawn explains how 256-element phased ultrasonic arrays can target brain regions like the visual cortex with high precision mechanical perturbation, potentially treating Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and depression without surgery. The technology remains experimental, requiring MRI guidance, but could become portable and dramatically improve quality of life for neurological conditions currently requiring invasive deep brain stimulation. A caller with adrenal cancer asks about fasting-mimicking diets. Dr. Dawn explains that 14-hour fasting before chemotherapy improves outcomes because healthy cells can downshift metabolism while cancer cells cannot. Cancer cells rely only on glycolysis without mitochondrial function, making them vulnerable during fasting states. She recommends chronotherapy - scheduling treatments during fasting periods - and expresses optimism about new cancer therapies like CAR-T cells and CRISPR technologies. An emailer asks about inulin fiber for fatty liver disease. Dr. Dawn explains how this fiber found in chicory, Jerusalem artichokes, and root vegetables stimulates gut bacteria to break down fructose before it reaches the liver, preventing fructose-induced hepatic lipogenesis. Inulin supplementation protects against fatty liver disease, increases antioxidant production, and helps with obesity by reshaping the gut microbiome to better process dietary sugars.

DescriptionMoralistic Therapeutic Deism (MTD) didn't just appear out of nowhere—it's the product of centuries of American religious and cultural development.

Philip Wadler is a well known, celebrated and recognized researcher in the field especially for his unique ability to explain complex ideas in a simple and elegant way. He got his Bachelor in 1977 at Stanford, his Masters in 1979 and his PhD in 1984 both at CMU. In 2023, he was awarded the distinguished honor of being elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, joining the ranks of scientific greats such as Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin. Wadler describes himself as someone who likes to bring theory into practice, and practice into theory. In this episode, we talk about his prolific research, the story behind Monads and Type Classes, Category Theory and Homotopy Type Theory. Throughout our conversation, in response to my eagerness to understand the philosophy and method behind his remarkable papers, he repeatedly emphasizes that the whole point of science is clearly communicating ideas so that others can build upon them.

De día, Sir Isaac Newton era el guardián del Royal Mint, el genio de ojos fríos que clavó el universo a una pizarra con las leyes de la gravedad. Pero su verdadera pasión, el proyecto que consumió más años de su vida que la física, era un secreto. Estaba intentando convertir el plomo en oro. Newton no era un iluso. Era el hombre más inteligente del mundo, y entendió que la alquimia no era solo una búsqueda de riqueza, sino el intento de encontrar un atajo en las reglas de la realidad. El premio no era una ganancia, era reescribir el juego por completo. Arriesgó su salud y su fortuna en la persecución de un imposible que, si funcionaba, lo haría todo posible. Hoy, el espíritu del laboratorio secreto de Newton está vivo. Ha vuelto a una escala que él jamás habría podido imaginar. El plomo ahora se llama "datos". La Piedra Filosofal se llama "Inteligencia Artificial General". Y los nuevos Newtons son los titanes de Silicon Valley, invirtiendo fortunas que harían sonrojar a los reyes del siglo XVII en la misma y febril búsqueda de un atajo para el futuro. Pero mientras esta gran y deslumbrante apuesta se lleva todos los focos, ¿qué ocurre con el mundo de las cosas tangibles? ¿El mundo del plomo, por así decirlo? ¿Qué pasa con los fabricantes de coches cuando el oráculo financiero más famoso del mundo, Warren Buffett, vende de repente su participación en el mayor de ellos? ¿O con los bancos que libran una guerra tan encarnizada que han tenido que contratar a todo el ejército de mercenarios de Wall Street? ¿Y qué nos dice de la economía real que las ventas de una simple caja de pasta de los años 70 sean un indicador más fiable que cualquier informe gubernamental? El episodio de esta semana de Actualidad Semanal +D no es sobre tecnología. Es sobre la peligrosa y seductora psicología de la euforia. Exploramos qué tienen en común Isaac Newton, Mark Zuckerberg y un oso de peluche que vale más en bolsa que muchas empresas de IA. Es un viaje al corazón de la obsesión humana por transformar lo mundano en milagroso, y por qué las lecciones de un horno del siglo XVII podrían ser la mejor guía para navegar los mercados de hoy.

Los arcoíris son hermosos. Pero, ¿por qué ocurren? Isaac Newton en su famoso experimento demostró que la luz blanca es una mezcla de colores, que se pueden separar por refracción, o doblar, usando un prisma. La luz es igualmente refractada por gotas de agua de lluvia en la atmósfera, cuando la luz del sol brilla sobre ellas… To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1235/29

Posiblemente, te lleguen a la mente nombres como Stephen Hawking o Marie Curie, aunque quizás el científico más famoso de los últimos cien años es sin duda Albert Einstein. Pero el galardón al científico más importante de la historia se lo lleva otra persona. Alguien que sentó las bases sobre las que Einstein «construyó» su teoría de la relatividad general. Me refiero a Sir Isaac Newton, quien formuló las leyes de la mecánica clásica y la ley de la gravitación universal e inventó el cálculo.A pesar de su incomparable genio, Newton supo reconocer que había aprendido de otros. En una carta a Robert Hooke fechada en 1676, Isaac Newton escribió: «Si he llegado a ver más lejos que otros es porque me subí a hombros de gigantes». Sin embargo, esta frase no es original de Newton, sino de Juan de Salisbury, que escribió en el siglo XII que «somos como enanos sentados sobre los hombros de gigantes para ver más cosas que ellos y ver más lejos, no porque nuestra visión sea más aguda o nuestra estatura mayor, sino porque podemos elevarnos más alto gracias a su estatura de gigantes».¿Quieres crecer y llegar lejos en esta vida? La mejor forma de lograrlo es subir a hombros de gigantes mediante la lectura. ¿Por qué? Porque el crecimiento intelectual no sucede en el vacío, es un esfuerzo colectivo y continuo de muchas generaciones. La lectura te permite acceder al conocimiento acumulado de la humanidad y aprender de los que te han precedido. También amplía tu mente y te motiva a pensar por ti mismo y a desarrollar la creatividad.La lectura, especialmente de las Escrituras, también tiene grandes beneficios espirituales. No hay nada más efectivo para mejorar tu relación con Dios que leer la Palabra, pues mediante ella podrás subir a hombros de gigantes espirituales. Aprenderás a de la humildad de Moisés, de la valentía de David, de la sabiduría de Salomón y sobre todo, del amor de Jesús. Por eso no me sorprende que hace casi dos milenios Pablo le aconsejó a Timoteo: «Mientras llego, ocúpate de la lectura» (1 Timoteo 4:13). ¿Quieres crecer y ampliar tus horizontes? ¡Súbete a los hombros de los gigantes! 

We're gonna go ahead and apologize in advance for any stumbles through this one. Sir Isaac Newton possessed a kind of brilliance that is very hard for the majority of people to really wrapped their heads around, and that includes us. Known as the Father of Modern Physics he didn't just help shape our understanding of the science of the natural world (not nature but the laws that govern nature, gravity, optics, movement, etc) but he deciphered a lot of the mysteries within it. He developed calculus because the math of his time wouldn't help him solve the questions he had. He discovered that light is made of a spectrum of colors that exist at all times even if we can't see them, and he revolutionized the understanding of gravity and planetary rotation. He was also human, who suffered from human flaws, vindictiveness being a pretty evident one.  But as with most genius there can be a mania that lies beneath. Join us as we get Historically High on the smartest man we've covered to date.Support the show

When security guards spotted children in Victorian clothing dancing in circles at midnight on a muddy construction site, they approached to investigate - only to watch the kids vanish into thin air, leaving no footprints in the mud where they'd been playing.

Hello Poison Friends! We have discussed quite a few heavy metals, but not all of them. While we did mention Antimony awhile back, we did not give it the attention it deserves, so this would be a great time to do so. Before getting too deep into Antimony, however, a review on purging with emetics and the history there concerning the "rebalancing of humors" as well as the more modern "ridding oneself of toxins," is in order. One emetic that is more recent in our history is Ipecac. Technically, or medicinally, it went by the name Syrup of Ipecac. Parents, here in America at least, were told by the American Association of Pediatricians to keep a bottle in their homes at all times in case of children accidentally poisoning themselves. What we have learned since the late 1990s however is that not only is Ipecac not really effective at treating poisoning cases, but it is also toxic and can lead to its own complications including irritation of the GI tract and airways, seizures, and heart problems. There are now more efficient and safe ways to treat cases of poisoning that do not involve forced vomiting. Throughout history, people have leaned on various toxic substances to cause themselves to vomit or that would induce diarrhea as a way of healing or keeping oneself healthy. It doesn't sound pleasant but what they used made it even less so. Antimony does cause GI distress including vomiting and diarrhea and can also lead to muscle weakness, gastric ulcers, seizures, kidney disease, cardiovascular diseases, neurological disease, respiratory distress, and blistering of the skin if topically applied. It has also been found to be carcinogenic. Acute use at high dosages, or chronic use at any dose, could lead to poisoning and death. People used Antimony medicinally (as Tartar emetic, namely) for a number of different ailments including epilepsy, syphilis, tuberculosis, and GI distress of all sorts. It was even used for alcoholism, and in some countries, it still is. In centuries past, they even had accessories to go along with their toxic medicine. So let's go through the history of these substances and you know some interesting and familiar names will pop up along the way including a Biblical character/Babylonian king, Isaac Newton, a King of France, and a founding father with a penchant for excessive bleeding and purging.

Herzlich willkommen zu Ihrem morgendlichen Newsletter! „Wir schaffen das“ – mit diesem Slogan wollte Angela Merkel 2015 zur Bewältigung der Flüchtlingskrise motivieren. Was seither erreicht wurde und was nicht, betrachten wir in unserem ersten Artikel. Im zweiten Beitrag fragen wir, ob Leonardo da Vinci bereits 200 Jahre vor Isaac Newton die Schwerkraft entdeckt hat. Schließlich beschäftigen wir uns mit den Vor- und Nachteilen der Atomkraft und entdecken dabei auch überraschende Vorteile.

David travels to the award winning Farmyard Nurseries in Carmarthenshire where Richard Bramley shows him the large collection of fly eating Sarracenia. Greg Sachno reveals how he's created a small garden orchard on the windswept Ards Peninsula. It includes an apple unique to the local area called Ecklinville seedling and an apple genetically linked to the very one Isaac Newton sat under when he started thinking about gravity. On White Mountain, David visits Little Green Allotments, a diverse community of keen growers who are producing their own organic food. In studio Claire McNally joins David with seasonal inspiration and the all important answers to listeners' gardening questions. Email the programme at gardenerscorner@bbc.co.uk

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.

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.

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

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 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.
