You have free will. You have no choice. What sounds like a paradox is actually a gateway to deeper understanding in this conversation between Dr. Bernard Beitman and physicist Samir Varma. Together, they explore how a deterministic universe still allows for genuine unpredictability—creating a space where consciousness and free will can thrive.Pre-order Dr. Beitman's newest book "Life-Changing Synchronicities: A Doctor's Coincidences and Serendipities" at Simon & Schuster, Barnes and Noble, Inner Traditions, Amazon, Books-a-Million, Bookshop.org (May 2025).Samir Varma is a physicist, entrepreneur, and author with a PhD in Particle Physics from the University of Texas and a BS in Electrical Engineering from Columbia University. His career spans finance, technology, and scientific research, with multiple patents in fields ranging from advertising to medicine. Varma manages two investment funds utilizing proprietary algorithms and has spent years exploring the intersection of physics, computation, and consciousness. In his book "The Science of Free Will," he presents a groundbreaking framework showing how deterministic physics creates unpredictability and practical free will. His work bridges fundamental science with everyday human experience through an accessible, thought-provoking lens. www.samirvarma.com https://vsasset.com/publications/ The two dive into the role of attention, the nature of meaningful coincidences, and how AI mirrors our own limitations and potential. Coincidences only become significant when you bring your perspective to them. No one else is going to tell you what it means. You are the final decider. Are you ready to carry that responsibility?Learn more about Samir at samirvarma.com and explore his work at https://www.vsasset.com/publications.

Dr. Jamal Mimouni takes us on an astronomy journey through Africa starting with his long-standing, active group in Algeria.   Dr. Mimouni is an Algerian astrophysicist, who received his higher education partly in Algeria (B. Sc. in Theoretical Physics in 1977 from Algiers University) and partly in the States (Ph. D. in Particle Physics in 1985 from the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia). He is also an actor on the science, society, and the cultural dimension of the scientific debate in the Arab-Muslim world and has developed a keen interest in the philosophy of contemporary science, as well as to spreading scientific culture in societies of the developing world.    On the ‘ground', he has acted as adviser and resource person to amateur astronomy associations in Algeria and is the head of the well-known Sirius Astronomy Association. He has been elected last year as President of the African Astronomical Society (AfAS) based in Cape Town, SA. He has been working closely with the Algerian Ministry of National Education as a scientific adviser, and has conceived and directed various regional training workshops for both elementary school and high school physics teachers: “From Geography to the Cosmos”. Finally, he has authored along with N. Guessoum a popular science book in Arabic “The Story of the Universe: from Early Conceptions to the Big Bang” for an University educated readership, and contributed to an academic collective book “Science and Religion in Islam”.   Mike Simmons is the founder of Astronomy for Equity ( https://bmsis.org/astro4equity/ ).

In this mind-expanding episode, Kelly unpacks the foundational science of creation through Keylontic particle physics, exploring how partiki, the smallest conscious energy units, form the fabric of all matter, consciousness, and morphogenetic structure in the cosmos of external creation. She breaks down the Three Primal Life Force Currents—ManU (neutral), EirA (magnetic), and ManA (electrical)—which give birth to the partiki, and how these particles evolve into particum and partika through a process of fission-fusion known as Partiki Cycling. This cycling not only drives manifestation but also initiates a backflow current—the energetic pathway back to Source.Kelly also explains how partiki units form Partiki Strands and Grids, the invisible carpet of living light and sound that connects all beings to God-Source and to each other.From there, she dives into Keylons—crystalline structures of sound and light that form the morphogenetic templates for the human body, DNA, and multidimensional identity—and Keylon Codes, the complex patterns that “flesh out” the energy architecture behind all manifest forms.This episode is a profound journey into the divine mechanics of creation and a reminder that you are made of living, intelligent light and sound.Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/DKFs2ZX-VzsFollow Kelly:https://kellydillon.com/https://www.instagram.com/kelldillon/https://www.facebook.com/kellydillontv/https://twitter.com/kelly_dillonhttp://tiktok.com/@kelldillonUpcoming Classes Kelly is teaching: https://kellydillon.com/classes/The truth will truly set us free.

My research focuses on looking at black holes. Some black holes are so energetic, that they tear up the bright hot matter spinning around them and funnel it into jets shooting out their top and bottom. And once in a while, we luck out and a few black holes are oriented so that the jets are pointed straight towards the earth! We call these kinds of black holes Blazars, and it's my job to look at their most energetic and extreme cases and try to figure out if there are any neutrinos in those jets! If we can find neutrinos coming out of them, we can follow their trail back to what in the jet created them and learn more about black holes themselves!

As with all episodes of this podcast there are spoilers ahead! Earlier this year I approached a brilliant theoretical physicist about whether she would like to come on the podcast to speak about her favourite science fiction film but instead she wanted to speak to me about the science of the film Interstellar (2014). I apologise in advance for my own level of understanding of physics which is a mix of decades old lessons in school, a tiny handful of pop science books and a number of science fiction films. Interstellar was released ten years ago in November 2014. Theoretical physicist Kip Thorne was the main consultant to director Christopher Nolan on the science of the film which is packed with scientifically accurate scenarios (and a few scientifically fantastical ones too). The Guest Claudia de Rham is a theoretical physicist at Imperial College, London. Her expertise lies at the interface between Quantum Field Theory, Gravity, Gravitational Waves, Cosmology, Particle Physics, Numerical Simulations and Theoretical Mathematical Physics. She is also the author of the book The Beauty of Falling: A Life in Pursuit of Gravity.

Dissuaded from pursuing theoretical physics and deterred by the “long feedback loop” in experimental physics, the National Academy of Sciences member took inspiration from “polymath” Watt Webb and “visionary” Stephen Smith—and learned to work “completely outside his comfort zone.”

As an experimental facility, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva has been extraordinarily successful, discovering the Higgs boson and measuring multiple features of particle-physics interactions at unprecedented energies. But to theorists, the results have been somewhat frustrating, as we were hoping to find brand-new phenomena beyond the Standard Model. There is nothing to do but to keep looking, recognizing that we have to choose our methods judiciously. I talk with theoretical physicist Cari Cesarotti about what experimental results the modern particle physicist most looks forward to, and how we might eventually get there, especially through the prospect of a muon collider.Support Mindscape on Patreon.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2024/09/16/289-cari-cesarotti-on-the-next-generation-of-particle-experiments/Cari Cesarotti received her Ph.D. in physics from Harvard University.

Timmy Mallett, former DJ and 1980s children's TV presenter, is creating a social media storm, during a cycle tour around Northern Ireland, in tribute to his late brother, Martin who had Down's Syndrome. Timmy Mallett was a massive star on children's TV in the 1980s and 90s. He honed his zany style of presenting on Piccadilly Radio in Manchester. Amongst his helpers were a teenage Chris Evans and the Today programme's Nick Robinson. He then went on to breakfast television where he presented the Wide Awake Club with Michaela Strachan and then Wacaday. A generation of children grew up watching him and his trusty foam mallet, Pinky Punky which he used to bonk competitors on the head when they stumbled or hesitated in his word association game Mallett's Mallet. Nowadays, he's swapped the Mallet for the artist's palette and is as successful at art as he was at children's TV presenting. At the age of 68, he's cycling round Northern Ireland, giving mini history lessons and tour guides on TikTok whilst painting scenes of his travels in memory of his late brother.

The Nobel prize-winning British physicist Peter Higgs has died aged 94. The confirmation in 2012 of the existence of the Higgs boson particle, five decades after Higgs had first theorised its existence, paved the way for his 2013 Nobel win. Nicknamed ‘the god particle', the Higgs boson was part of an attempt to explain why the building blocks of the universe have mass.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the German physicist who, at the age of 23 and while still a student, effectively created quantum mechanics for which he later won the Nobel Prize. Werner Heisenberg made this breakthrough in a paper in 1925 when, rather than starting with an idea of where atomic particles were at any one time, he worked backwards from what he observed of atoms and their particles and the light they emitted, doing away with the idea of their continuous orbit of the nucleus and replacing this with equations. This was momentous and from this flowed what's known as his Uncertainty Principle, the idea that, for example, you can accurately measure the position of an atomic particle or its momentum, but not both.With Fay Dowker Professor of Theoretical Physics at Imperial College LondonHarry Cliff Research Fellow in Particle Physics at the University of CambridgeAnd Frank Close Professor Emeritus of Theoretical Physics and Fellow Emeritus at Exeter College at the University of OxfordProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list:Philip Ball, Beyond Weird: Why Everything You Thought You Knew about Quantum Physics Is Different (Vintage, 2018)John Bell, ‘Against 'measurement'' (Physics World, Vol 3, No 8, 1990)Mara Beller, Quantum Dialogue: The Making of a Revolution (University of Chicago Press, 2001)David C.

Should CERN be spending $17 billion on a new atom smasher whilst we face, climate change, the most pressing crisis of our time? Materials-turned environmental scientist Mark Miodownik and CERN physicist Kate Shaw debate the issue. One of the issues Mark argues more people should be tackling are the climate change driven forest fires which recently ravaged Chile and killed more than 100 people. Chilean climate scientist Raul Cordero discusses the factors which led to the devastating fires. And NASA physicist and oceanographer Susanne Craig explains their freshly launched satellite PACE, which hopes to get a better picture of our changing oceans and use this information to tackle climate change. A quest NASA manages to achieve whilst also trying to answer the big questions about our universe.

Einstein's theory of general relativity is distinguished by its singular simplicity and beauty. The Standard Model of Particle Physics, by contrast, is a bit of a mess. So many particles and interactions, each acting somewhat differently, with a bunch of seemingly random parameters. But lurking beneath the mess are a number of powerful and elegant ideas, many of them stemming from symmetries and how they are broken. I talk about some of these ideas with Chris Quigg, who with collaborator Robert Cahn has written a new book on the development of the Standard Model: Grace in All Simplicity.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2024/01/22/263-chris-quigg-on-symmetry-and-the-birth-of-the-standard-model/Support Mindscape on Patreon.Chris Quigg received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of California, Berkeley.
