Utes and SUVs make up 9 out of 10 of the most popular cars on our roads - but a new study has revealed the safety risks they pose. Research from the journal Injury Prevention shows that a pedestrian or cyclist is 44 percent more likely to be fatally injured if they are hit by an SUV or light truck (LTV), compared with smaller passenger cars. For children, the stats are even more bleak - a child hit by a SUV or LTV is 82 percent more likely to be killed than a child hit by a passenger car. Physicist and science writer Laurie Winkless explains further. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Could our reality be a simulation? Tom Campbell, a Physicist, lecturer, and author, joins us today to challenge the notion of reality as we perceive it, explaining his groundbreaking Theory of Everything (“My Big T.O.E”) and how our perception of the world may be part of a vast simulation. Get ready to explore the nature of free will, entropy, our connection to a larger consciousness system, and how this gives purpose and meaning to our existence.OUR GUESTTHOMAS W. CAMPBELL (born December 9, 1944) is a physicist, lecturer, and author of the trilogy My Big TOE (Theory of Everything), which aims to unify general relativity, quantum mechanics, and metaphysics along with the origins of consciousness. His work is based on the simulation argument, proposing that reality is both virtual and subjective. In 2017, Campbell and his co-authors published the paper "On Testing the Simulation Theory" in the International Journal of Quantum Foundations, suggesting several experiments to test this hypothesis.Campbell holds both a B.S. and an M.S. in Physics. He started but did not complete a PhD in experimental nuclear physics, with a thesis on low-energy nuclear collisions. He worked as a systems analyst with U.S. Army technical intelligence for a decade before moving into the R&D of technology supporting defensive missile systems. For nearly 30 years, he worked within the U.S. missile defense community as a contractor to the Department of Defense. Most recently, he worked for NASA's Ares I program (the successor to the Shuttle), assessing and solving problems of risk and vulnerability to ensure mission and crew survivability and success.TOM CAMPBELL

IS DARK MATTER FROM BEFORE THE BIG BANG? 7/8: The Elephant in the Universe: Our Hundred-Year Search for Dark Matter by Govert Schilling (Author), Avi Loeb (Foreword) https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/a64379333/dark-matter-older-than-universe/ https://www.amazon.com/Elephant-Universe-Hundred-Year-Search-Matter/dp/0674248996 In The Elephant in the Universe, Govert Schilling explores the fascinating history of the search for dark matter. Evidence for its existence comes from a wealth of astronomical observations. Theories and computer simulations of the evolution of the universe are also suggestive: they can be reconciled with astronomical measurements only if dark matter is a dominant component of nature. Physicists have devised huge, sensitive instruments to search for dark matter, which may be unlike anything else in the cosmos―some unknown elementary particle. Yet so far dark matter has escaped every experiment. Indeed, dark matter is so elusive that some scientists are beginning to suspect there might be something wrong with our theories about gravity or with the current paradigms of cosmology. Schilling interviews both believers and heretics and paints a colorful picture of the history and current status of dark matter research, with astronomers and physicists alike trying to make sense of theory and observation. 2007 HUBBLE FIELD

Welcome to today's episode, where we delve into the captivating world of Cynthia Sue Larson—a best-selling author, physicist, and a trailblazer in the realm of quantum realities.
To the best of our scientific knowledge, 70% of our universe is made up of a mysterious force we call ‘Dark Energy'.Since its discovery in the 1990s, it has been assumed that this accelerating force would continue to expand the universe until everything was so far apart that the whole thing would come to a very cold, and very quiet end.However, new findings have called all of that into question.Shane Bergin is a Physicist & Assistant Professor in Science Education at UCD. He joins Seán to discuss.
It doesn't take much mass, just a fleck of paint, to punch a hole into a satellite or an intercontinental ballistic missile. This week's guest thinks the technology for an AI-controlled space-based kill vehicle, that is also small and lean enough to make room for the fuel needed for speed, is close at hand if the Department of Defense wishes to seize it. Laura Winter speaks with Arno Ledebuhr, a physicist, who worked on the Strategic Defense Initiative's space-based ballistic missile defense system Brilliant Pebbles, at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, under Lowell Wood and Edward Teller.

Mind Matters News, January 8, 2023 http://bit.ly/3kwt70GThe discussion explores physicist Marcelo Gleiser's argument against the possibility of reality being a simulation. The panelists express skepticism, noting that such claims often rely on unfalsifiable assertions rather than scientific evidence. They critique the logic behind simulation theory, pointing out its similarities to religious arguments—particularly the claim that "we can't prove we're not in a simulation," which mirrors arguments for the existence of God. Teo dismisses the theory as an infinite regress problem, arguing that if a simulation exists, it would require a simulator, which would also need a creator, leading to an endless cycle of simulated realities. August finds the idea intriguing but remains unconvinced without tangible evidence, likening it to the Fermi Paradox, where people speculate about extraterrestrial life without direct proof. Phoebe criticizes proponents of the theory for their lack of critical thinking, comparing it to conspiracy theories like lizard people running governments. The conversation shifts to implications of simulation theory on concepts like free will. August highlights how the idea could challenge autonomy, likening it to debates over determinism. Teo humorously introduces "theocentric theory," proposing that the universe revolves around himself, poking fun at the egocentric nature of some philosophical arguments. Jason performs an experiment by telling everyone to raise their arms, joking that their compliance proves his control over them. Ultimately, the panelists find simulation theory entertaining but unconvincing. They agree that without evidence, it remains speculative fiction rather than a scientific hypothesis.The Non-Prophets, Episode 24.10.4 Phoebe Rose, Jason Sherwood, August and Mateo Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support.

Simon Cullen and Nicholas DiBella discuss how to equip students to dialog across differences using an AI Guide they've created on episode 560 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode Most of my students have not heard cogent arguments on the other side of whatever they whatever their own position is because they've been so siloed. -Simon Cullen In every one of these classes the point is to try and confront students with the strongest arguments I can find, ideally for the thing they don't believe. -Simon Cullen The first thing they hear from me is if you wish to avoid the risk of being offended, then you should probably not be taking this class. -Simon Cullen In philosophy, we always embrace disagreement. -Nicholas DiBella We have designed the guide is to be as neutral as possible. -Nicholas DiBella Resources Sway Website Experimental results Student feedback Transcripts of Real Chats From Students and Experimental participants Feedback From Students About Simon's Dangerous Ideas Carnegie Mellon Course In Praise of Ignorance: To have a chance at solving our problems we must not condemn each other for openly stating our ignorance, by Simon Cullen Mike Caulfield's SIFT Over or Under: We Asked a Physicist to End the World's Great Toilet Paper Debate, by VICE Staff AI is Unavoidable, Not Inevitable, by Marc Watkins I want your attention.

Stephen Wolfram answers questions from his viewers about business, innovation, and managing life as part of an unscripted livestream series, also available on YouTube here: https://wolfr.am/youtube-sw-business-qaQuestions include: Physicists that "could code" used to be the hot commodity; is it helpful now? Seems like CS/ML people are more in demand than physicists now—why? - I find that building simple frameworks in software GREATLY helps understanding of the underlying material. Mathematics especially, but I don't think it's limited to hard sciences. - I kind of doubt my trying to self-teach cryptanalysis is going to be very transferrable. - Would you consider "science communicator" a career? What skills would be most important? - How would you think about approaching school in the age of AI and LLMS? Should I, as a university student, embrace AI and LLMs? Or should I avoid them to eliminate risks of being too dependent on technology? - I did specialized things for the government and just got laid off. There are no similar jobs in the public sector. How can/should I pivot? - Is it better to stay at one job and "move up the ladder" over decades like our parents did or adopt this trend of staying at a company for no more than three years before salary-shopping elsewhere? - Do you see any solution to the "iron law of oligarchy" on the scale of generations? - Interesting point; so how do we break the mold? I'm northeast England, a deprived region—any advice to get my children (15F, 20F) to realize their potential? - What about economic barriers to "success" and fields where someone can be successful needing expensive education? - What would you say to someone who could change the world but who lacks any resources or academic backing, so nobody wants to help?
Chuck is out of action this week COVID, so we are featuring past interviews with upcoming guests who all have new books coming out on the days we are scheduled to interview them in upcoming weeks. Today's episode features two guests whose work imagine a more emancipatory, dignified, sustainable future should socialist imperatives govern the future of human development.
