Podcasts about Newton

What did the ancient world discover about the cosmos? What were the contributions of Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo? How did the science of astronomy advance under Newton? And how did everything change again with the discoveries of special relativity, general relativity, and quantum mechanics? With us to answer these questions is Sarah Alam Malik. Sarah is an expert on dark matter, and her work on large-scale experiments such as the Large Hadron Collider has placed her at the cutting edge of exploring the universe's mysteries and its fundamental laws. Today we discuss her new book entitled, A Brief History of the Universe (and our place in it).

Fresh off 17 years at Google, a keynote at the H2F Symposium, and a hospital room that reordered his priorities entirely. This one goes well past fitness.What we get into:What Newton saw at the H2F Symposium that Google never gave him — a room full of people who had dedicated their careers to a mission with no big financial payoff at the end, and actually meant it.Corporations as machines — why purpose-driven language at large companies eventually stops holding water, and what the difference looks like when the mission isn't profit.Strategic vulnerability — it's not open sharing, it's context-dependent and calculated. Vulnerability builds trust unless it reveals incompetence at a core responsibility. That distinction matters a lot in the military.The senior NCO who posted his failed two-mile run on social media — Drew, Alex, and Newton work through whether that was useful vulnerability or a self-own.The psychopathy of organizations — Newton's framework: psychopaths rise because they feel nothing, emotionally repressed leaders accumulate moral injury until they go toxic, and emotionally integrated leaders are the best case but the rarest outcome.Lying to Ourselves — the 2015 paper on dishonesty in the Army profession, and new data showing that reported unit readiness is moderately negatively correlated with actual performance at combat training centers.We're here to love and take care of each other, and that's it — Newton's first principle, arrived at in a hospital room after his daughter's leukemia diagnosis.

What does it take to put a fractured world back together? Philosopher and psychotherapist Mark Vernon joins Evan Rosa to explore William Blake as the great counter-Enlightenment guide for our anxious, divided age. "The world comes to be seen as it truly is, which is infinite, and that can embrace distinction difference as much as similarity and sharing." In this episode with Evan Rosa, Vernon explains how to read William Blake, and reflects on Blake as the most important post-Reformation Christian mystic—a poet, painter, and philosopher offering not just a diagnosis of modern division but the beginnings of an antidote. Together they discuss Newton's long shadow and the withdrawal of inner life; the fragmentation of humanity from itself, nature, and the divine; the marriage of heaven and hell; cleansing the doors of perception; imagination as abundance rather than scarcity; desire rightly ordered; and Blake's Christ, who acts from impulse rather than rule. ——— Episode Highlights "I think he's the most important post-Reformation Christian mystic." "We need these oppositions in order to create the dynamism of life and hence the Marriage of Heaven and Hell." "The task is to align, align with the goods in the melee, and see how that which is seemingly different for you, might have something to offer you." "The world comes to be seen as it truly is, which is infinite, and that can embrace distinction difference as much as similarity and sharing." "The fullness of the love, the fullness of the goods, paradoxically, it can seem, is only revealed when it reaches out to that, which seems to be the opposite of it." ——— About Mark Vernon Mark Vernon is a writer, broadcaster, and psychotherapist with a private practice in London, and a former Anglican priest.

Var finns kvinnan ägg? Hjälper bruna bönor potensen? Frågan om livets uppkomst har lett till många spännande teorier, konstaterar Fredrik Sjöberg. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Först sänd 2017-09-05.Biologen och rabulisten Bengt Lidforss berättade en gång om ett samtal med Strindberg, om befruktningens mysterier. Det var i Berlin på 1890-talet, på den tiden de och andra av deras kaliber söp skallen av sig på stamkrogen Zum schwarzen Ferkel, den svarta grisen. I essän ”Strindberg som naturforskare” skriver sålunda Lidforss:”Han lutade sig fram över bordet och sänkte rösten till en hemlighetsfull viskning:Ja – och kvinnan! Tänk, när vi börja avslöja henne på allvar! Hur tror du att det är beställt med hennes ägg? Har du sett ett kvinnoägg? Nej! Jag? Nej! Men Buffon, som var en jävla man, har funnit befruktade kvinnoägg i hannarnas sädesledare! Har du mod att tänka ut tanken? Det är mannen som lägger äggen och kvinnan är fågelboet! Hon kan ersättas, undanskaffas! Det gäller blott att hålla en konstant temperatur av 37 grader och bereda ett lämpligt näringsfluidum. Och så är mannen emanciperad! Fullständigt!”Ja, Strindberg hade en enastående förmåga att vara efter sin tid. I slutet av 1800-talet var mysteriet redan löst. Man visste hur befruktningen fungerade, låt vara att själva genetiken ännu var okänd. Men det hade tagit förvånansvärt lång tid. Bara några decennier tidigare hade Strindbergs teorier kunnat passera som tänkvärda. I århundraden hade forskarna famlat i blindo.Hur blir egentligen barn till? Varifrån kommer de? Ingen visste. Jo, alla visste såklart var de brukade dyka upp, och att sex mellan en man och en kvinna på ett eller annat sätt hade med saken att göra. Men sen var det stopp. Förresten var man inte alltid helt säker på att det räckte med en man; bland ursprungsfolken i Sydamerika fanns de som ansåg att en havande kvinna gjorde bäst i att ligga med så många män hon bara orkade, ända fram till nedkomsten, helst män med olika begåvning – en bra jägare, en bra historieberättare, en bra älskare och så vidare. Tanken var att barnet byggdes på undan för undan, ungefär som en snöboll.I den gamla världen var man inte mycket klokare; författaren Edward Dolnick berättar i boken ”The Seeds of life” historien om hur en kvinna i Grenoble, på 1600-talet, födde ett gossebarn vilket var trevligt men ändå lite dumt eftersom hennes man vid det laget hade varit utomlands i fyra år. Otrohet bestraffade hårt, och här fanns dessutom pengar med i spelet; den bortreste mannen var mycket förmögen. Saken hamnade i domstol. Och kvinnan vann målet – pojken fick ärva pengarna – tack vare en färgstark historia om att hon hade legat med sin make i en dröm som var så verklighetstrogen att hon blev med barn.På den tiden var det heller inte ovanligt att en kvinna som hade råkat bli gravid på bygden, ägnade sig åt att stirra på ett porträtt föreställande sin äkta man, dagar i sträck, för det kunde vem som helst räkna ut, att det var så det gick till när ett barn kom att likna sin far. Alla visste ju att modern till ett harmynt barn hade sett en hare. Och redan Aristoteles var för sin del säker på att en man i gott skick, med torrt krut i torpeden, eller vad det nu hette på hans tid, välsignade sin hustru med söner, medan män som i något avseende var undermåliga eller tillfälligt försvagade fick hålla till godo med döttrar. Hur skulle det annars gå till?Studier av könsorganen hjälpte inte heller. Den medicinska vetenskapens fader, Hippokrates, begrep visserligen att mannens testiklar antagligen hörde till pjäsen, men skapade ingen större klarhet med sin teori om att säd från höger testikel gav upphov till söner, medan döttrarnas ursprung var den vänstra.Sådär höll de på, långt in i modern tid. När den vetenskapliga revolutionens hjältar, Copernicus, Newton och de andra, lyckas klarlägga fysikens lagar, står kunskapen om vår egen fortplantning och stampar på samma fläck. Det enda man var helt överens om var att Gud hade hittat på alltihop. Resten var öppet för spekulation. Så sent som på 1670-talet fanns exempelvis de som på fullt allvar trodde att mannens organ vid själva erektionen fylldes av luft, ungefär som en flärpa, en sån där papperstuta som förekommer på barnkalas, och att väderdrivande födoämnen som bruna bönor därför kunde rekommenderas i samband med sex.Och när man vid samma tid upptäckte att sädesvätskan var full av pyttesmå sprattlande spermier, enades vetenskapsmännen om att detta var fråga om helt ointressanta parasiter. Med hjälp det nyligen uppfunna mikroskopet hade man fått syn på mängder av maskar och annan ohyra, så slutsatsen låg nära till hands. Att spermierna skulle ha med befruktningen att göra, det trodde man inte. Möjligen indirekt, genom att vispa den värdefulla vätskan med sina svansar, så att den inte koagulerade.Tidigt formerade sig forskarna i två rivaliserande läger. Dels de som trodde att kvinnan bidrog mest när ett barn blev till, dels de som likt senare Strindberg tänkte sig henne mera som en blomkruka där mannen sådde ett frö som i princip innehöll en komplett människa, låt vara i mikroformat. Grälet pågick ända in på 1800-talet, och alla var i någon mening styrda av den store glädjedödaren Augustinus; hans tröttsamma tankar om att allt som har med lust att göra är syndigt.Edward Dolnick berättar hela denna historia, från urtiden fram till de cellbiologiska genombrotten vid mitten av 1800-talet, när allt slutligen föll på plats, och man kan läsa boken som ett stycke underhållande vetenskapshistoria, men under ytan finns också annat. Reflektioner som pekar mera framåt.Att det tog så lång tid berodde inte i första hand på att man saknade mikroskop och andra tekniska förutsättningar; anledningen var mera själva tänkandet. Man kan inte utforska det man inte kan föreställa sig, och i det här fallet kunde ingen tänka sig en värld utan Gud. Den saken var inget problem för Newton; han kunde revolutionera fysiken utan att ge upp sin tro på en gudomlig plan, och likadant var det som bekant med Linné. De ordnade och räknade, utan att bekymra sig om var allt kom ifrån. Det visste de ju redan.Den inställningen visade sig vara ohållbar i frågan om sex och fortplantning. Legenden om Gud blockerade bara. Det är först med Darwins ”Om arternas uppkomst” – 1859 – som tänkandet blir tillräckligt fritt, och när sedan den digitala och genetiska informationsöverföringen långt senare blev intellektuellt allmängods, försvann de sista hindren för en sann bild av barnens tillblivelse.Men kanske är vi tillbaka på ruta ett. Det finns ett vetenskapligt problem i dag som på många sätt liknar den gamla frågan om befruktningen, ett mysterium som väldigt många forskare sysslar med och skriver lärda böcker om – frågan om vårt medvetande.Hur blir egentligen tankar till? Var kommer de ifrån? Ingen vet. Eller jo, alla vet förstås i vilken kroppsdel de dyker upp, och att evolutionen på ett eller annat sätt har med saken att göra. Men sen är det stopp.Om något blockerar förståelsen, och i så fall vad, vet ingen. Men teorierna är många och fantasifulla. Det finns till och med de som tror att våra idéer är en sorts immateriella parasiter, och vi bara värddjur. Fast det där tror jag inte på. Men ändå, också misslyckade hypoteser kan vara tänkvärda, och vad som är användbart vet man inte förrän efteråt. Vilket påminner mig om att jag är lite hungrig. Jag tror det får bli bruna bönor i dag.Fredrik Sjöberg, författare och biolog LitteraturEdward Dolnick: The Seeds of life – From Aristotle to da Vinci, From Sharks' Teeth to Frogs' Pants, the Long Strange Quest to Discover Where Babies Come From.

Few people have observed Australian boardrooms as closely as Kerryn Newton. For almost two decades, Kerryn has advised boards, recruited directors and worked alongside organisations navigating governance challenges across the corporate, government and not-for-profit sectors. Through her work as Founder and Managing Director of Directors Australia, she has developed a unique perspective on what separates high-performing boards from those that struggle to achieve their potential. In this episode of our 20 Years of Women on Boards podcast series, Kerryn joins Claire Braund OAM to reflect on her governance journey, the lessons she has learned from hundreds of boardrooms and the advice she shares with aspiring directors. Kerryn discusses the importance of purpose, board culture and relationships, arguing that the effectiveness of a board is shaped less by its policies and processes and more by the quality of the conversations, trust and dynamics around the board table. She also shares her views on board diversity, AI governance and the future of board recruitment. Along the way, Kerryn reflects on the role Women on Boards has played in supporting better governance and reveals the three phrases that best describe her own journey: backing herself, resilience and bravery. Listen to hear Kerryn's practical insights on governance, board effectiveness and what it takes to build a meaningful board career. About Kerryn Newton Kerryn Newton is the Founder and Managing Director of Directors Australia, one of Australia's leading board recruitment and governance advisory firms. A lawyer by training and former Army Reserve officer, Kerryn founded Directors Australia in 2009 and has spent the past 17 years advising boards, recruiting directors and helping organisations strengthen governance and leadership capability. Throughout her career, she has worked with boards across the listed, private, government and not-for-profit sectors, developing a reputation for understanding board dynamics, leadership and what drives board effectiveness. Kerryn is a long-standing supporter of Women on Boards and has played an important role in improving transparency and access to board opportunities across Australia. Through her work, she has helped hundreds of organisations build stronger boards and assisted countless directors in navigating their governance journeys. Three Key Insights from Kerryn Purpose matters more than status Kerryn encourages aspiring directors to be clear about why they want to serve on a board. Organisations are looking for directors who genuinely connect with their purpose, not those simply seeking another line on their resume. Board effectiveness is built on relationships While governance frameworks and policies are important, Kerryn believes the most effective boards are characterised by trust, constructive challenge, strong relationships and a willingness to listen and learn. Be brave and back yourself For those seeking their first board role, Kerryn's advice is simple: put your hand up. Every board journey starts somewhere, and resilience is often the difference between those who achieve their goals and those who give up too soon.

In this special World Cup edition of SGV Connect, Damien Newton talks with Foothill Transit Communications Director Felicia Friesema about how transit agencies across Los Angeles County are preparing for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Friesema explains Foothill Transit's role in supporting Metro's operations at SoFi Stadium, including lending buses for shuttle service between Union Station and the stadium. She encourages San Gabriel Valley residents to use the Silver Streak and other transit connections to reach World Cup matches, noting that transit will play a critical role in moving tens of thousands of spectators. The conversation also explores the behind-the-scenes planning required for a global event, with Friesema describing months of coordination, training, and security preparation involving Metro, Foothill Transit, and other agencies. The discussion then shifts to broader transit topics, including rising gas prices, ridership growth, long-term budgeting challenges, and Foothill Transit's proposed changes to commuter express service. Newton and Friesema also discuss recent improvements to the regional fare system, including contactless credit card payments, the impact of the A Line extension into the eastern San Gabriel Valley, and the surprising success of Foothill Transit's temporary "Line 6-7" shuttle connecting the La Verne A Line station with Fairplex during the Los Angeles County Fair. Throughout the conversation, Friesema emphasizes the importance of flexibility, regional coordination, and adapting transit service to changing travel patterns across Southern California. Damien Newton: As mentioned in the intro, I'm here with Felicia Friesema of Foothill Transit. This is our unofficial, quasi-official World Cup edition of the SGV Connect podcast and Streetsblog coverage. This podcast is going up on Friday, the day of the first World Cup game in Los Angeles: the United States versus Paraguay. There's been a lot of press about how people are getting to the stadium, the cost of parking, and all of those sorts of issues. But we wanted to highlight that it is easy and possible to take transit to the games, no matter where you're coming from. As we've mentioned before, I live in West Los Angeles. On Monday, we're planning to go to a parking lot in Santa Monica and take the bus directly to the game—a game that I still only give about a 50 percent chance of actually happening. But we're not talking about Santa Monica today. We're talking about the San Gabriel Valley. So again, I'm here with Felicia. Why don't we talk a little bit about service from the San Gabriel Valley to SoFi Stadium in Inglewood? How is that all going to work? What's the expectation, and what are we hoping to see? Felicia Friesema: Well, I think it's really important that people understand how critical transit is going to be for making these matches work. When you start seeing Caltrans signs on the freeway encouraging people to take transit to the matches at SoFi, it tells you how important transit is to making the whole experience happen. FIFA has some very strict rules about tailgating—as in, you're not allowed to do it—so it takes away some of the benefits of driving to the stadium that some people enjoy. Foothill Transit is lending 10 buses to Metro to help operate the shuttle trips originating from Union Station and heading to SoFi Stadium. The best way to get from the San Gabriel Valley to Union Station and then take those shuttles is to ride the Silver Streak. It runs very regularly—every 15 minutes during the week and every half hour on weekends. It's a pretty reliable service. You can visit foothilltransit.org and get all your trips itinerized. I don't know if that's a word. Did I just make up a word? Damien Newton: I don't know. All words are made up. Felicia Friesema: I'm only the communications director, you know. Damien Newton: Doesn't Thor say that in one of the Marvel movies? Someone tells him he made up a word and he responds, "All words are made up." Felicia Friesema: Right. One thing I do want to note, though: for the shuttles going into SoFi, there won't be fare collection on the buses themselves. Spectators can pay in one of two ways. They can purchase parking online in advance, which includes shuttle service, or they can pay on site using mobile fare-payment validators that will be stationed near the shuttle boarding queues. Passengers will pay before they board the bus. It's a little different from how we're normally doing things, but it's something people should be aware of. Damien Newton: We've seen Metro do this for other major events, and even private shuttle operations. When you're trying to move 30,000 people by bus for a special event, sometimes there are different procedures for boarding and exiting. It's good for people to know ahead of time so they can plan accordingly. Do you know of other Foothill Transit employees who are planning to attend the games? Is this something people have talked about at the staff level? Like, "I'm going to the game and here's how I'm getting there." Felicia Friesema: Honestly, the biggest thing is that we all have our favorite teams, right? But most of our participation is making sure the service happens without a hitch. Our role is making sure service is delivered safely and securely, and that coordination with Metro is clear, concise, and effective. It's more about enabling other people to have a great experience. We'll mostly be listening from the sidelines while making sure everyone else can get there. Damien Newton: One thing I've always wondered about these major events, where your agency has such an important support role, is whether there's an extra level of excitement in the planning process—or whether it's more intense because there are so many additional details to work through. Felicia Friesema: FIFA—and subsequently the Olympics—are really their own category when it comes to this kind of planning. We've been meeting with Metro weekly for months to work through the logistics of serving the matches. The level of preparation, planning, security awareness, and training for operators, dispatchers, and security staff is well beyond what would normally happen for something like Rose Bowl shuttle service. We have the Rose Bowl service down to a science. We know exactly how it works. But the World Cup requires a much more detailed operational plan. I don't know that I'd call it anxiety, but it's definitely more intense. Damien Newton: That was probably the wrong word. Felicia Friesema: Yeah. Damien Newton: I should have made a word up. Felicia Friesema: Exactly. It's more intense. When you have an event as visible and heavily attended as the World Cup, everything operates at a different level. Not that we don't pay attention to those things for local events—we absolutely do—but this is bigger in every way. More people, more excitement, more moving parts. The good thing is that Metro has done a phenomenal job laying the groundwork for all of us to succeed. We're really grateful for that.

The gravitational two-body problem has been fundamental to physics since Newton's time. With the advent of gravitational wave astronomy and the anticipated third generation of gravitational wave detectors in the 2030s, there is an increasing need for high-precision predictions from Einstein's theory of gravity regarding the encounters of black holes and neutron stars in our universe. Fascinatingly, perturbative quantum field theory methods developed for high-precision predictions of elementary particle scattering at the LHC have proven remarkably efficient for this classical physics problem. This unexpected connection has led to inspiring synergies between collider and gravitational wave physics. In my talk, I will present our approach using a worldline quantum field theory inspired by string theory, which has emerged as the most efficient tool for quantifying the scattering of spinning black holes. We have achieved highest-precision perturbative results for the scattering angle, radiated energy, and recoil of such black hole encounters at the fifth order in Newton's gravitational coupling G. Our four-loop calculations have revealed a new class of mathematical functions related to Calabi-Yau manifolds, previously studied only in mathematics and string theory compactifications, appearing for the first time in a physical context: The radiated energy in gravitational waves at NNNNLO perturbation theory.

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

The Dirty Dozen of Estate Planning: Are you making costly estate planning mistakes without realizing it? Jon Penn and Estate Attorney Russ Newton break down the most common errors people make when creating wills, trusts, powers of attorney, beneficiary designations, and charitable gifting strategies. From dying intestate and failing to update documents, to misunderstanding Texas estate laws, TOD and Lady Bird deeds, testamentary trusts, and living trusts, this discussion covers the practical steps families can take to protect assets and avoid unnecessary legal problems. We also explore charitable gifting strategies involving IRAs, 401(k)s, QCDs, and more advanced trust planning tools designed to preserve wealth for future generations. 0:00 - INTRO 1:48 - A Practical Estate Attorney 3:00 - Common Mistakes to Avoid - Procrastination 6:10 - Dying Without a Will - Intestate 9:13 - Do-it-Yourself Estate Planning - Avoid Ambiguity 12:35 - Failure to Revise or Update Will 14:21 - Moving to a Different State - State Conformity 16:02 - Coordination of Beneficiaries & Assets 18:34 - Naming Agents on Power of Attorney - Two Powers of Attorney in Texas 22:34 - Using a Will vs a Living Trust - Naming Assets Properly 26:35 - Pour-over Will 27:48 - TOD/Lady Bird Deed 29:37 - Testamentary Trusts - Protecting Assets "from the grave" 32:46 - Three Considerations: How Long, How Accessed (HIMS), Who is Trustee 34:53 - Tangible Assets (everything but real estate) 38:23 - Ignoring Estate Plans 39:53 - Charitable Gifting (401k & IRA, QCD's) 43:53 - More Sophisticated Trust Planning Tools Hosted by RIA Advisors Senior Investment Advisor, Jonathan Penn, CFP w Estate Attorney Russ Newton Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Do you enjoy our content?

En el mundo del motor actual, pocas preguntas generan debates tan encendidos en redes sociales, foros y barras de bares como la comparativa entre el coche eléctrico y el de combustión. Hoy dejamos de lado la ecología para centrarnos en la física pura y dura. Vamos a analizar por qué un coche acelera como lo hace y si el "territorio voltio" es realmente tan imbatible. La tiranía de la báscula frente al milagro del par motor Para entender la aceleración, primero debemos entender los dos factores que luchan entre sí: la fuerza que empuja el coche y la masa que se opone a ese movimiento. El gran talón de Aquiles del coche eléctrico, hoy por hoy, es su peso. Las baterías de iones de litio tienen una densidad energética muy inferior a la de la gasolina. Sin embargo, el motor eléctrico tiene un as bajo la manga: el par motor instantáneo. En un motor de combustión, la entrega de fuerza es progresiva; los gases tienen que mover una turbina, los pistones deben subir y bajar, y el motor tiene que alcanzar un rango de revoluciones óptimo. En un eléctrico, el par es como un interruptor de la luz: está ahí desde el primer milisegundo. El sprint corto: El dominio absoluto del motor eléctrico Si hablamos del 0 a 100 km/h, el peso importa, pero la capacidad de tracción y el par inicial mandan. En esta distancia corta, el coche eléctrico suele ser el rey absoluto por su facilidad para transmitir la potencia al suelo sin drama. Si comparamos cifras, vemos casos fascinantes. Un Caterham Seven 620R de “solo” 315 CV, que es la máxima expresión de la ligereza térmica con solo 520 kg, logra hacer el 0 a 100 en 2,8 segundos. Es una cifra impresionante, pero un Tesla Model S Plaid, que pesa 2.162 kg (cuatro veces más), detiene el crono en 2,1 segundos. La estirada larga: La gasolina recupera el terreno La situación cambia drásticamente cuando la meta se aleja y buscamos alcanzar los 200 km/h. A partir de los 120-130 km/h, entra en juego un factor determinante: la resistencia aerodinámica, que crece de forma exponencial con el cuadrado de la velocidad. Para vencer ese muro de aire invisible, ya no basta con tener mucho par inicial; necesitas potencia sostenida y una gestión eficiente de la energía a altas revoluciones. La mayoría de los coches eléctricos utilizan una sola marcha, lo que significa que, a velocidades muy altas, el motor eléctrico empieza a girar fuera de su zona de máxima eficiencia. Aquí es donde el motor térmico, apoyado en sus cajas de cambios de 7 u 8 velocidades, saca pecho. Un ejemplo claro es la comparativa entre dos hermanos de marca: el Porsche 911 Turbo S (térmico) y el Porsche Taycan Turbo S (eléctrico). Aunque el Taycan tiene más potencia (761 CV) y mucho más par, el 911 Turbo S le acaba ganando la partida antes de llegar a los 200 km/h por una sencilla razón: pesa 1.640 kg frente a los casi 2.300 kg del Taycan. La frenada: El factor que muchos olvidan Correr es relativamente fácil, pero detener una masa en movimiento es donde se separan los buenos diseños de los mediocres. La energía cinética que los frenos deben transformar en calor depende directamente de la masa. Aquí, Newton no perdona a nadie. En una frenada de emergencia de 100 a 0 km/h, la diferencia entre un deportivo térmico como un Corvette Z06 y un eléctrico potente como un BMW i4 M50 puede parecer pequeña (unos 4 metros), pero en el mundo real, esa distancia es la diferencia entre un susto y un accidente grave. El problema se agrava cuando subimos a los 200 km/h. Frenar desde esas velocidades requiere que los discos absorban una energía brutal. Los eléctricos confían mucho en la frenada regenerativa, pero en una frenada a fondo, el 90% del trabajo lo hacen los discos y las pastillas. Un coche pesado fatiga los frenos mucho antes, provocando el temido "fading" o pedal blando, especialmente en puertos de montaña o circuitos. El equilibrio perfecto: La hibridación moderna Llegados a este punto, cabe preguntarse si existe una solución ideal. El híbrido moderno, como el McLaren Artura o el Ferrari SF90, parece haber encontrado el camino. Utilizan pequeños motores eléctricos para hacer lo que se llama "torque filling" o relleno de par. El motor eléctrico se encarga de dar la patada inicial mientras los turbos del motor de gasolina cogen presión. Esto permite tener la respuesta instantánea de un eléctrico sin tener que cargar con 600 kg de baterías. Es, en términos de ingeniería actual, el equilibrio más razonable si lo que se busca es el máximo rendimiento en todas las circunstancias.

The baffling story of Robert Nichols, who took the name Joseph Newton Chandler III and left his family for the rest of his life, with theories going so far as to say he was the Zodiac Killer. Support us directly: https://www.redwebpod.com In 2002, a man was found deceased in his apartment. What began as a standard investigation soon revealed the name registered to this man actually belonged to a child who died decades prior. As odd clues began to stack, a search commenced for the true identity of the man with no past and no contacts. After nearly two decades, a break in the case uncovered who he was, but left investigators with even more questions about his cryptic life.

Part 8 and the finale of the introductory ether series goes out with a bang. Jonathan Drake and Polymath return together to close out eight weeks of reality-dismantling physics with their most ambitious move yet: tying the whole thing together theologically. But first, eddy currents, gyroscopes that weigh less while spinning, Newton confessing gravity made no sense to him, Einstein admitting logic has nothing to do with understanding nature, and Tesla calling modern scientists sane enough to think deeply but possibly too far gone to think clearly. Then Polymath lays out the geometry of two types of antigravity craft, and Casimir Space Company gets a mention for apparently building a capacitor that recharges itself. The episode closes with Jonathan reading his original essay arguing that the ether's triadic structure, source, radiative, and ground, is the created fingerprint of the Trinity itself, and that physics done correctly leads to the same place revelation does. Eight episodes. One conclusion. Everything is theological.

Beyond Brutality: Reclaiming Female Presence in Bavli Sotah (Brandeis University Press, 2025) draws on feminist analysis and gender studies to examine tractate Sotah of the Babylonian Talmud as a literary unit. By interrogating how, why, and where women are invisible within Bavli Sotah, Jane Kanarek brings to light a ubiquitous female presence throughout the text. Despite the brutality of the sotah ritual—in which the woman accused of adultery is put through a divine ordeal intended to reveal her innocence or her guilt—this book demonstrates that Bavli Sotah is not primarily concerned with describing the sotah ritual or establishing male control over women. Instead, Bavli Sotah becomes a pedagogical text in which the sotah is secondary to moral and sinning men. As the sotah herself fades into the background, the sotah ritual nevertheless overflows its boundaries and weaves its way through a range of other topics within the tractate. In the process, Bavli Sotah teaches its audience who transmits and how one transmits rabbinic culture.

Well, there is a company most people have never heard of quietly positioning itself at the very center of America’s energy future. Its name is Energy Capital Partners. It’s a private equity firm headquartered up in Summit, New Jersey. But to understand how ECP ended up owning wind blade factories, you have to start with gas turbines and a power company called Calpine. See, back in 2001, Calpine placed one of the most audacious turbine orders ever recorded, 203 GE gas turbines. enough to power 50,000 megawatts of base load generation. GE did [00:01:00] not just sell Calpine turbines. The two companies co-developed power plants together. GE co-owned facilities. Calpine held options to buy them back. It was a less a vendor relationship and more of a marriage. In 2018, Energy Capital Partners bought Calpine, All 77 power plants, 26,000 megawatts of generation capacity, and every long-term GE service agreement that came with it. And for the next seven years, ECP was GE’s single most consequential private sector gas turbine customer in the Western Hemisphere. That relationship, built on decades of iron and service contracts, would soon reach far beyond gas. Because on the other side of the energy world, a very different kind of company was falling apart, and that was TPI Composites. For years, the world’s largest independent maker of wind turbine blades. [00:02:00] facilities in Iowa, in Mexico, in India, and in Turkey. More than 9,600 employees worldwide. But the cracks were forming long before anyone said bankruptcy. First came the debt. TPI had borrowed heavily from Oaktree Capital Management and by the time the end arrived, the company owed Oaktree $476 million, secured against substantially all of its assets. Then came the customers. Nordex walked away from its Matamoros facility, shutting it down at the end of the second quarter of 2024. Then came customs. US Customs and Border Protection launched a review of TPI’s Mexico facilities under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act. TPI maintained its supply chain had no connection to forced labor, but the law did not care about confidence. Cared about proof, and while TPI worked to prove its innocence, a substantial portion of its Mexico-made blades could not cross the border into [00:03:00] the United States. The backlog told the story in numbers. At the end of 2024, there were $237 million in orders. One year later, $114 million in orders, cut nearly in half. On August 11th of last year, TPI filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, delisted from NASDAQ about eight days later. Now, when a company heads into bankruptcy, the first thing it has to solve is a very human problem. How do you keep the people who know how to run the place from walking out the door? Well, TPI’s board had an answer. Two months before the bankruptcy filing, the compensation committee approved retention bonuses for key executives, paid in cash within 30 days. The CEO, $1,225,000. The CFO, $518,000. The COO, [00:04:00] $487,000. And of course, the general counsel, $435,000. But there was one condition, you had to stay through restructuring. If you left early, you had to give it all back. Well, they stayed, at least most of them have. In the months that followed, TPI sold off its Turkish operations. Vestas moved quickly, claiming the India and Matamoros plants for roughly $24 million. And then the phone rang in Summit, New Jersey. GE Vernova needed its blade supply secured. It had a decades-long relationship with the firm on the other end of that call, a relationship forged not in composite factories, but in gas turbine halls. Through a newly formed entity called ECP Blade Holdings, Energy Capital Partners is acquiring TPI’s remaining North American assets , plants up in Newton, Iowa, down in Juarez, Mexico, for about $20 [00:05:00] million. The management team that had guided TPI through its darkest chapter came with it. And embedded in the transaction was a five-year supply agreement requiring GE Vernova to direct a defined share of its blade procurement exclusively to ECP-operated facilities. Well, if this deal had fallen apart, GE Vernova itself was contractually bound as a backup buyer, obligated to step in and at least purchase the Iowa plant for $21 million. GE Vernova was simultaneously ECP’s partner, its customer , and in this case, its buyer of last resort. Two companies, one relationship stretching back about 25 years through gas turbine orders, power plant co-ownership, long-term service contracts, and now wind blade factories rescued from bankruptcy court. A company laid low by debt, customs blockades, and lost contracts, its people paid to [00:06:00] stay, its factory sold for pennies on the dollar, and now rising again under new ownership to supply the very turbines powering America’s AI-driven energy future And that’s the state of the wind industry for the 1st of June 2026. Have a great week

Ettore Majorana, un genio de la física teórica comparable a Newton o Galileo, desapareció sin dejar rastro en marzo de 1938. Esta eminencia resolvía complejos cálculos en paquetes de cigarrillos que desechaba luego para evitar el reconocimiento público. Se recluyó en su vivienda de Nápoles tras un viaje a Alemania, limitando su dieta únicamente a leche y verduras. Y más tarde, Majorana envió una carta anunciando su suicidio y un telegrama de rectificación antes de desvanecerse en un trayecto de ferry. El destino final de Majorana fue objeto de numerosas hipótesis, desde el exilio hasta su supuesta reclusión en un convento.

Host: Lalo Solorzano, Andy Shiles Guest(s): Miriam Name Published: May 28, 2026 Length: ~35 min. Presented by: Global Training Center Summary Mexico's recent customs reforms are creating real challenges for companies moving goods across the border, especially U.S. exporters supplying Mexican importers and maquiladoras. In this episode, Lalo Solorzano and Andy Shiles sit down with Miriam Name, Partner at Cacheaux, Cavazos & Newton, to unpack what these changes mean in practical terms. Miriam explains why Mexican authorities are now asking for more documentation, including formal contracts, valuation support, Incoterms, payment terms, and consistency across import records. She also shares why exporters can no longer rely on “the way we've always done it” when supporting their Mexican counterparts. The conversation highlights how deeply integrated the U.S. and Mexico supply chains are, especially along the border, and why even small documentation inconsistencies can create major risks. From pedimentos and purchase orders to USMCA qualification and broker involvement, this episode gives trade professionals a clear starting point for reviewing their processes before an audit does it for them. Main Topic / Discussion This episode focuses on Mexico's customs law reforms and how they are affecting importers, exporters, maquiladoras, and cross-border supply chains. Miriam explains that Mexican authorities are looking for more support around customs valuation, formal agreements, payment terms, Incoterms, and consistency across documentation. For U.S. exporters, the key message is that Mexican importers may now need more detailed support than before. That includes contracts, accurate product descriptions, valuation backup, and documentation that aligns across purchase orders, invoices, pedimentos, and certificates of origin. The discussion also touches on USMCA, increasing duty exposure, audits in Mexico, and the importance of training, internal review, and proactive compliance. Key Takeaways • Mexico's customs reforms are requiring more documentation and stronger valuation support from importers and their foreign suppliers. • U.S. exporters should expect Mexican customers to request more information, including contracts, Incoterms, payment terms, and supporting documents. • Consistency is critical. Details such as value, origin, product description, Incoterms, and payment terms should align across all trade documents. • Companies should not assume that past practices are still acceptable. Internal reviews, sampling, broker confirmation, and outside guidance can help identify issues before they become audit problems.

In the 17th century, Descartes, Galileo, and Newton transformed a living world into mechanical clockwork. Descartes drew the fatal line between mind and matter, rendering everything beyond the thinking self inert and available for measurement. This lens birthed science and medicine, but cost us what Goethean scientist Craig Holdrege calls living thinking - thought that is responsive, relational, and shaped by what it encounters.Goethe knew perception isn't passive: to truly see a plant, you must let it work on you.

Interview with Lea Koenig (ליאַ קעניג), one of Israel's most beloved stage actresses, together with Yaniv Goldberg, author of The Stage of Her Life: Conversations with Actress Lea Koenig on Theater and Her Life. The program focuses on Koenig's long career in Yiddish theater as well as Israeli Hebrew-language theater, TV and film. Born into a Yiddish theatrical family, Koenig became known internationally for her work in both Yiddish and Hebrew. Goldberg's book, published in late 2025 by Academic Studies Press of Newton, Massachusetts, grew out of years of conversations with Koenig about her life, her artistry, her Yiddish background and her central place in Israeli cultural life. Dr. Yaniv Shimon Goldberg is a lecturer at Bar-Ilan University and an expert on the Yiddish language and Jewish theater. He is also a rabbi, attorney, theater director and scholar of law and theater whose work includes research on legal issues in Yiddish drama. Goldberg’s reading of brief excerpts from his introduction to the book (in English) are interspersed at a couple of points during the interview. The interview included actors and Yiddish activists Mikhl Yashinsky and Hy Wolfe as special guest co-hosts. We did the interview on Zoom on May 6, 2026. Yaniv and Lea participated from Lea’s home in Tel Aviv; Mikhl was on tour in Australia; and Hy was at his home in New York City. This Sunday, May 31, 2026, Mikhl is leading a community read IN YIDDISH of selections from Max Spitzkopf: The Yiddish Sherlock Holmes, the book by Jonas Kreppel that he translated.

We sit down with James Ellias of Inductica to ask whether physics can ever truly prove anything. James pulls the inductive method out of the margins and holds it up against a century of guess-and-check, and together we trace the line from Newton's bucket to the cosmic microwave background so that we can ask where confidence becomes dogma and where models start passing for truth. Bodies, waves, ether, entities, the categories blur the moment you press hard enough, and the foundations of physics start to feel less like bedrock and more like habit. This is a conversation about what it means to be certain, and wether or not physics can ever claim such conviction for itself.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADOX LOST PRE-SALE: https://buy.stripe.com/7sY7sKdoN5d29eUdYddEs0bHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-herePARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Go! 00:05:11 Can Physics Actually Prove Anything?00:10:30 The Ninja Problem in Scientific Reasoning00:15:10 Cosmic Microwave Background and Misplaced Certainty00:36:31 Paradigm Shifts and the Limits of Prediction00:50:46 Descriptions Aren't Mechanisms01:00:01 What Counts as a Physical Entity?01:17:37 Bodies, Waves, and the Trouble with Categories01:32:21 Can Physics Work Without Bodies?01:52:28 Definitions, Language, and Conceptual Rigor02:09:02 Beyond Guess-and-Check: Structured Inference02:23:17 Belief and the Illusion of Certainty #Physics #physicspodcast, #philosophypodcast, #epistemology #proof #cosmology #naturalphilosophy #ether #standardmodel #philosophyofscience#quantum , #quantumphysics, #quantummechanics, #generalrelativity #gravity #cosmology #naturalphilosophyMERCH: Rock some DemystifySci gear : https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/AMAZON: Do your shopping through this link: https://amzn.to/3YyoT98DONATE: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaDSUBSTACK: https://substack.com/@UCqV4_7i9h1_V7hY48eZZSLw@demystifysci RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rssMAILING LIST: https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/- Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySciMUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671

There are two Emerald Tablets. They share a name. They share a color. Everything else about them is completely different — the origin, the author, the century, the verifiability. Most people who quote one are actually thinking of the other, and the confusion is over a hundred years old.   In this episode I investigate both. One was translated by Isaac Newton in his own handwriting, the manuscript still preserved at Cambridge today. The other has a very different story behind it.

Jim and Chris discuss listener emails on Social Security spousal benefits, portfolio withdrawal strategy for early retirement, HSA and Medicare premiums, the 4% rule, Roth self-employed 401(k)s, Roth conversions, and retirement trusts. (10:45) A listener asks whether her husband claiming Social Security on his own record before she files at 70, including as early as 62, would reduce his eventual spousal benefit, and in what circumstances an earlier filing might make sense for them. (20:45) She also asks how to structure her portfolio to cover a seven-year income gap before Social Security begins and fund a potential home purchase at retirement. (46:15) George and Georgette want to know which Medicare-related costs – IRMAA surcharges, Part D, and supplemental insurance – qualify for HSA reimbursement, and whether they can apply HSA funds retroactively to prior-year premiums. (54:30) The guys address the idea that money reimbursed from an HSA isn’t restricted to medical use, so saving receipts over the years can turn an HSA into a source of tax-free cash for virtually any expense. (1:01:15) A listener compares the 4% rule to Newton’s laws of motion – foundational but not the final word – and describing how he’s combining that framework with their retirement income approach for his own long-range planning. (1:08:30) Jim and Chris share a listener’s PSA that Fidelity began offering a Roth self-employed 401(k) in 2025, in response to a question from a recent episode. (1:11:30) One listener pushes back on the idea that Roth conversions only make sense at a lower tax bracket, walking through a math example to show that tax-free compounding can make converting at the same — or even a higher — bracket financially worthwhile. (1:17:45) George has structured his IRA with a testamentary trust for a financially irresponsible adult child and asks whether a “retirement trust”, could allow the trust to receive IRA assets without the compressed tax rates that typically apply to trusts. The post Social Security, Withdrawal Strategy, HSAs, 4% Rule, Roths, Retirement Trust: Q&A #2621 appeared first on The Retirement and IRA Show.

In April 1997, Judy Smith, a 23-year-old nurse from Newton, Massachusetts, vanished while on a sightseeing trip in Philadelphia with her husband. Initially, she was seen at the hotel, but when her husband returned from the conference, she was gone. Days of searching turned up no trace, and several confusing sightings suggested she may have traveled alone. Five months later, Judy's remains were discovered in a shallow grave in Pisgah National Forest, near Asheville, North Carolina, over 600 miles from Philadelphia. She had been stabbed, and the clothing on her body indicated hiking gear, none of it hers. Her red backpack, a signature item she always carried, was missing. Investigators have never solved how she got there or who killed her. The case remains a haunting mystery. If you have any information that could help bring Judy's family answers, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. Until then, the question remains: what happened to Judy Smith?

This is a preview of a premium episode. To listen to the full thing, visit our Susbtack: https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/colin-fisher In jazz, there's a concept called minimal structures — a rhythmic framework, a harmonic pattern, an implied order of solos. Just enough to hold the band together, but plenty of space for autonomous creativity. It's a useful lens for thinking about how any team works, and it comes directly from today's guest. Colin Fisher was a professional jazz trumpet player before he became one of the leading researchers on group dynamics. He's now an Associate Professor of Organizations and Innovation at University College London, with a PhD in Organizational Behavior from Harvard, and his new book is The Collective Edge. In it, he makes a case that we systematically underestimate the role groups play in every breakthrough we celebrate. We love stories about lone geniuses — Newton, Einstein, Miles Davis — but when you peel back almost any one of them, you find a group behind it. We just tend to forget that part, because our brains are wired to remember heroes, not ensembles. Ask everyone on a six-person team how much credit they deserve for the group's output, and one study found the total came to 235%. In this conversation, we get into why teams are 6.3 times more likely than individuals to produce breakthrough work, why the sorting hat in Harry Potter is actually the series' true villain, and why 84% of managers try to coach their way out of team problems when the real fix is structural. We also talk about the dangers of using competition to motivate creative teams, why the ideal team size hovers around 4.5 people, and what it would take to pull our increasingly individualistic world back toward something more collective — without tipping into the other extreme. Bio Colin M. Fisher is an Associate Professor at University College London's School of Management and the author of The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups (Avery/Penguin Random House), translated into ten languages. His research on group dynamics, creativity, and improvisation has been published in top academic journals and featured in BBC, Harvard Business Review, NPR, Forbes, and The Times. Before earning his PhD in Organizational Behavior from Harvard, Colin was a professional jazz trumpet player and longtime member of the Either/Orchestra. He lives in London with his wife and two children, and can sometimes be found sitting in at jazz jams around the city. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Matthew Shindell examines the Scientific Revolution, noting how pioneers like Galileo and Newton gradually replaced ancient models with modern physics and natural history. By the 18th century, William Herschel popularized the idea of an inhabited Mars, believing it to be the most Earth-like planet in the solar system. This curiosity peaked with Giovanni Schiaparelli's mapping of Martian "canals," which Percival Lowell later interpreted as evidence of a desperate, dying civilization. Shindell notes that H.G. Wells transformed these projections into satire, using The War of the Worlds to critique British imperialism through the lens of an alien invasion. (3/4)september 1941

SHOW SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 5-14-26.1920 EAST BATTERY, CHARLESTON SC.  Anatol Lieven explores the meeting between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, focusing on China's economic shifts and the precarious nature of Taiwan's independence, which remains a primary flashpoint for potential war. (1/16)Anatol Lieven details the internal rebellion against Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Following poor election results, rival Wes Streeting's resignation signals a broader challenge for party control and the future of leadership. (2/16)Peter Berkowitz examines Harvey Mansfield's assessment of Harvard's decline. They discuss how grade inflation, political agendas, and the abandonment of meritocracy have replaced the university's commitment to genuine intellectual excellence. (3/16)Michael Toth highlights how foreign investors utilize litigation finance to gain tax advantages. He advocates for defining legal investments as ordinary income to close loopholes that favor oligarchs and burden shareholders. (4/16)Lance Gatling and Jim McTague discuss Japan's record stock market highs and strategic use of national oil reserves. Despite Middle Eastern instability, Japan maintains economic stability through subsidies, technological leadership, and careful energy diversification. (5/16)Jim McTague and Lance Gatling report on "shrinkflation," where product sizes decrease as prices rise. They analyze the impact of high inflation on daily life in both Pennsylvania and Tokyo. (6/16)Cosmologist Patricio Gallardo presents evidence from galaxy clusters proving that gravity follows Newton's inverse square law across vast distances, effectively debunking alternative theories like Modified Newtonian Dynamics over hundreds of millions of light-years. (7/16)Patricio Gallardo discusses the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy. He details future efforts to calibrate telescopes for detecting the "Axion" particle to understand the composition of the missing universe. (8/16)James Lasdun introduces the trial of Alex Murdaugh for the execution-style murders of his wife and son. He examines the surprising speed of the 2023 guilty verdict despite primarily circumstantial evidence. (9/16)James Lasdun describes the Murdaugh family's century-long dominance of South Carolina's legal system. He compares Alex's betrayal of trust and embezzlement to the intimate crimes punished in Dante's deepest circles of hell.
