A listener sent Dov a message. He said he loved the podcast. He also said he could not listen to it anymore. The writing had become unlistenable. Dov wrote back six sentences with no framework and no protection. Then he sat with what the listener had actually given him. This is the eighth episode of season two of The Polymathic Perspective. It is not another AI take. Not the "AI will save us" version. Not the "AI will end us" version. Both are exhausting, and both are doing the exact thing this series has been examining for eight episodes. They are running their own code. Anchored in Peter Weir's The Truman Show (1998). Christof was not a villain. He was a man who built the world Truman inhabited from his own unexamined code. That is what we are building now. At civilizational scale. In hiring algorithms. In visa flag systems. In performance review engines. In every mirror we build without first looking at the glass it is being built from. Dov also names, on record, where he found the mechanism running in himself. In real time. In the making of this series. The question is not whether AI is dangerous. The question is whether you can look at what the mirror is showing you. Or whether you would rather argue about the quality of the glass.

Wallace Thornhill returns to the show to talk with us about The Electric Universe. We discuss some of the new scientific discoveries and how they relate, their upcoming EU conference in June, the history of the solar system, the electic sun, and how all this relates to consciousness. Also, we lost connection a couple times near the end. I edited out those parts, but the edit isn't perfect, so if it seems things don't flow right a couple of times, that is why.Wallace Thornhill graduated in Physics at Melbourne University in 1964 and began postgraduate studies with Prof. Victor Hopper's upper atmosphere research group. Before entering university, he had been inspired by Immanuel Velikovsky through his controversial best-selling book, Worlds in Collision. Wal experienced first-hand the indifference and sometimes hostility toward a radical challenge to mainstream science. He realized there is no career for a heretic in academia.Wal worked for 11 years with IBM Australia. The later years were spent in the prestigious IBM Systems Development Institute in Canberra, working on the first computer graphics system in Australia. He was the technical support for the computing facilities in the Research Schools at the Australian National University, which gave him excellent access to libraries and scientists there.Wal was initially heavily influenced by the then revolutionary ideas of Immanuel Velikovsky of Princeton. Velikovsky proposed that mankind had been devastated in the past by cosmological events . Wal took these ideas and with his deep knowledge of astronomy and, plasma physics began his own questioning of scientific dogma. Paramount was the place of electro magnetism, as distinct from gravity, in the formation of the universe . This slowly but surely led to his and other colleagues (such as David Talbot, Donald Scott, and Anthony Peratt) questioning such ingrained theories as the big bang, black holes and Einstein's theory of relativity. This group in particular contend that many scientific “proofs “are theory laden or mathematically concocted. An insistence on empirical data from observations and experiments gives their work true integrity.

What if the key to reducing chronic pain, improving mobility, sleeping better, and even slowing the effects of aging has been hiding in plain sight? In this fascinating episode of The Girlfriend Doctor Podcast, Dr. Anna Cabeca welcomes back naturopathic physician and quantum biology expert Dr. Catherine Clinton, author of Optimize, for a deep dive into one of the body's most overlooked healing systems: fascia. Together, they explore why fascia has been called the body's "Cinderella organ"—overworked, underappreciated, and essential for healthy movement, energy production, nervous system regulation, and longevity. Dr. Clinton explains how chronic stress, trauma, inflammation, hydration, mitochondrial function, and even our thoughts influence this remarkable connective tissue network. Dr. Anna also shares her personal journey through PTSD, insomnia, heart coherence, equine therapy, and a profound experience with dry fasting that transformed her understanding of the body's electrical nature and healing potential. You'll discover practical ways to support your fascia and nervous system through movement, light exposure, hydration, gratitude, circadian rhythms, and simple daily habits that help your body shift from survival mode into true healing. Whether you're dealing with frozen shoulder, stiff joints, chronic inflammation, autoimmune challenges, burnout, or simply want to optimize your health as you age, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on the future of medicine—one that begins by helping the body feel safe enough to heal. Key Timestamps 00:00 – Why frozen shoulder, joint pain and stiffness may be connected to fascia 04:45 – Trauma, chronic stress, inflammation and the nervous system 11:50 – Heart coherence, gratitude and retraining the brain for healing 18:10 – Can the body truly heal if it doesn't feel safe? 23:20 – Dr. Anna's equine therapy experience and what horses reveal about our nervous system 31:10 – What fascia really is—and why it's far more than connective tissue 39:30 – Piezoelectricity: how fascia generates the body's electrical energy 49:15 – Why hydration, mitochondria and movement keep fascia healthy 58:30 – Structured water, minerals and optimizing cellular hydration 1:09:20 – Daily habits for optimizing energy, longevity and healing through quantum biology 1:17:30 – Final takeaways: reconnecting with nature, joy and the body's innate healing intelligence Memorable Quotes Dr. Catherine Clinton: "Trauma really is defined by anything the system can't handle. It's not the event—it's what overwhelms the system." Dr. Catherine Clinton: "The body needs to feel safe before it can shift into rest, repair, and healing." Dr. Catherine Clinton: "Pain, inflammation, and disease can be viewed as a loss of electrical charge within the body." Dr. Catherine Clinton: "Movement hydrates fascia. When fascia is hydrated, it glides, communicates, and generates electrical energy more effectively." Dr. Catherine Clinton: "Each relationship we build with nature is an invitation back to safety, resilience, and healing." Dr. Anna Cabeca: "Healing is so much bigger than chasing symptoms." Dr. Anna Cabeca: "Your energy doesn't lie. You may think you're holding it together, but your body tells the truth." Dr. Anna Cabeca: "If it brings you joy, you're on the right track." Dr. Anna Cabeca: "Investing in your physical health is investing in your physical wealth." Dr. Anna Cabeca: "Don't be overwhelmed. Just choose one next right step toward healing."

In 2020, Andrea Ghez shared the Nobel Prize for her observations of a supermassive compact object at the center of the Milky Way galaxy—an object that has all the hallmarks of a supermassive black hole. Ghez had developed techniques that allowed her to peer through galactic dust clouds with the Keck telescopes and observe the movements of stars orbiting the galactic center. Measuring their velocity and orbits provided information about the galactic core. She joins Host Flora Lichtman to talk about this game-changing discovery, what we've learned about the galactic center, and her own orbit in science. Guest: Dr. Andrea Ghez is a Nobel Laureate in Physics (2020) and a professor of physics & astronomy at UCLA.

A life transition like divorce can also be a time to make other changes and shifts. Whether you're considering a career change, launching a business, or turning a lifelong passion into an income stream, today's technology offers opportunities that simply didn't exist a few years ago.In this episode of The D Shift, Mardi Winder sits down with business strategist Dr. Steven Kirch to explore how artificial intelligence can become a valuable thinking partner for anyone rebuilding their professional life after divorce. Rather than replacing human creativity, AI can help organize ideas, explore possibilities, challenge assumptions, and support better decision making. Together they discuss practical ways AI can help evaluate business ideas, create business plans, brainstorm marketing strategies, identify blind spots, and even prepare for conversations with potential investors. They also explain why AI should always be viewed as a tool to support your thinking rather than replace your judgment, and why reviewing and verifying information remains essential. Whether you're dreaming about a side business, returning to the workforce, or exploring an entirely new direction after divorce, this conversation will give you practical ideas for using AI to support your next chapter.In this episode you'll learn:• How AI can become a brainstorming and strategic thinking partner. • Ways to explore new business ideas before investing significant time or money. • How AI can help organize business plans and identify potential gaps. • Why asking better questions produces better AI responses. • What AI hallucinations are and why you should always verify important information. • Privacy considerations when using AI for business planning. Artificial intelligence is changing how entrepreneurs work, but success still depends on thoughtful planning, critical thinking, and informed decision making.About the Guest:Dr. Steven Kirch's path to Profit Minds began with a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, followed by more than 25 years in high tech, first at IBM, where he pioneered Focused Ion Beam techniques for failure analysis, before moving to Intel. His roles at Intel were many and varied, among them, running an analytical lab, serving as Chief of Staff to the VP managing Intel's most productive factory, and leading a 40-person international team. And along the way, he became a co-inventor on 10 U.S. patents across 5 technical fields, most of them earned as a manager contributing outside his own domain of expertise. After Intel, he founded Business Culture Advantage and then Profit Minds in 2020, where he has now served 50+ clients ranging from solopreneurs to mid-market firms.Now partnering with his daughter, Suzy, at Profit Minds, they have shifted the focus to help businesses transform through the power of AI. Steve's mission is to take what he learned inside two of the most demanding companies on earth and put it to work for the leaders and teams of small and mid-sized businesses.

Hello, Voices of the Bench community. This is Casey Baldwin with Ivoclar. If you've been curious about fast-firing zirconia to improve efficiency but aren't convinced it can deliver predictable, high-quality results, I'd encourage you to connect with us. Our new IPS emax Zirconia, offers multiple fast-fire protocols designed to help you save valuable production time while maintaining consistent outcomes. Time is money in every lab. Don't wait. Reach out today and discover how IPS emax Zirconia can help streamline your workflow. As full-arch dentistry continues to grow, so do the demands on today's dental laboratories. That's why Knight Dental recently launched SimplyARCH Studio, a dedicated production environment built exclusively for full-arch restorations. To support this specialized workflow, Knight invested in an XTCERA milling system and carefully evaluated multiple CAM software solutions before choosing hyperDENT. The decision came down to exceptional milling quality, minimal hand finishing, and impressive production efficiency. But what truly set hyperDENT apart was the implementation process. From the very beginning, the team provided more than software training—they shared the knowledge and experience needed to build an optimized workflow for complex full-arch cases. With proven expertise in advanced milling strategies and laboratory production, hyperDENT helped ensure SimplyARCH Studio was designed for long-term success from day one. This week, Elvis and Barb are coming to you from the FDLA Symposium at the GPS Digital RPD booth with two conversations that prove one thing: dental technology never stops evolving. First up, Chris Bradley from SmileLine USA returns to the podcast alongside technician, educator, and lab owner Richard Wodzinski, with Dawn Roniger from GC America joining the discussion. What starts as a conversation about "sexy brushes" quickly turns into a deep dive into one of the most intriguing shade-matching workflows you'll hear about. Richard explains how the OptiShade camera and Matisse software work together to create incredibly accurate shade recipes for everything from monolithic zirconia to layered ceramics and even gingiva. They also discuss the latest Creation Magic Color system, hands-on education, custom shade appointments, and why reducing remakes isn't just good for labs—it's better for doctors and patients too. Add in some FDLA leadership talk and a shared passion for education, and you've got a conversation packed with practical ideas and plenty of laughs. Then Elvis and Barb sit down with Kaveh Shams, Branch Manager for Zirkonzahn Canada, whose journey into digital dentistry spans London, Italy, and Canada. Kaveh shares how his admiration for Enrico Steger and Zirkonzahn eventually led to his dream job, while also offering a fascinating look into the company's history, philosophy, and commitment to education. From the origins of Exocad and custom CAM strategies to modular milling systems, open architecture, and Zirkonzahn's incredible Military School program that trains the next generation of technicians, this conversation is full of insight into what makes one of dentistry's most respected digital companies tick. It's an inspiring story of passion, persistence, and why great technology always starts with great technicians.Special Guests: Chris Bradley, Dawn Roniger , Kaveh Shams, and Rich Wodzinski.

Is life the product of chance alone, or does its existence point toward deeper scientific or philosophical questions? In this thought-provoking episode of The ‘X' Zone, Rob McConnell welcomes physicist, author, and science educator Robert Piccioni to explore the fascinating question: Can Life Really Be Merely an Accident? Drawing upon his background in physics and cosmology, Dr. Piccioni examines the scientific principles surrounding the origin of life, the apparent fine-tuning of the universe, probability, evolution, and the fundamental laws of nature. He discusses how science approaches these profound questions while distinguishing between evidence, theory, and philosophical interpretation. Throughout the conversation, Rob and Dr. Piccioni explore topics including cosmology, biology, the conditions necessary for life, and the ongoing dialogue between science, philosophy, and theology. Rather than offering simple answers, the discussion encourages listeners to think critically about one of humanity's oldest and most compelling questions. Whether you're interested in physics, cosmology, biology, philosophy, or the origins of life, this episode offers an engaging exploration of the scientific and philosophical ideas that continue to shape our understanding of existence.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

How do extraterrestrial craft actually move through space — and what does quantum entanglement have to do with it? Adam Apollo, physicist, galactic ambassador, and consciousness researcher, unpacks the real science behind spacetime bubbles, wormhole networks, and why warp drive is a dead end. But that's just the beginning. This conversation goes deep into the science of the aura (proven at NASA), how energetic cords form between people, what intentional psychic hooking actually looks like, why dark magic carries a threefold karmic backlash, and how holding space for someone's wound is the most powerful thing you can do — even for the most dangerous people in the room. About the Guest Adam Apollo is a physicist, futurist, galactic consciousness researcher, and the founder of the Resonance Academy for Unified Physics. A self-described Sirian ambassador and ancient dragon in human form, Adam has spent over two decades bridging cutting-edge physics with ancient wisdom traditions, indigenous initiatory knowledge, and extraterrestrial contact. His work spans unified field theory, light body development, sacred geometry, and planetary stewardship. He is also the creator of Core Nexus — a next-generation AI-powered platform launching in 2025 that combines social intelligence, course creation, and impact-driven philanthropy into one ecosystem.

Episode: 1603 Galileo: An old man grieves his daughter and writes his last book. Today, an old man writes his most important book.
Physics-of-failure models are often presented as the ultimate solution for predicting reliability—but are they always necessary? In this episode, Chris and Fred explore a listener's question about finding reliable references for physics-of-failure models, particularly for electronics and PCB assemblies. The discussion highlights the spectrum of available models, from simple empirical equations to highly detailed simulations requiring extensive material and manufacturing data. More importantly, they explain why engineers should start by defining the decision they need to make before searching for increasingly sophisticated models. If you're trying to improve reliability, select materials, design accelerated tests, or understand failure mechanisms, this episode offers practical guidance on when physics-of-failure modeling adds value and when simpler approaches may be more effective.
Send us Fan MailThere are moments in life when we realize that the harder we push, the more stuck we seem to be.What if the answer isn't more effort, but a different understanding of how life itself works?In this conversation, we explore what it really means to get out of our own way, the difference between effort and flow, why so many people feel stuck despite doing everything "right," and how understanding the deeper principles that govern life can transform the way we approach health, business, relationships, and purpose.My guest Jennifer Hough is a #1 international bestselling author of UNSTUCK: The Physics of Getting Out of Your Own Way, a TEDx speaker, CEO of The Wide Awakening, and an International award-winning trainer.Jennifer has spent decades helping doctors, educators, CEOs, and organizations understand what she calls the physics of flow — the principles that govern not only our health and well-being, but also our abundance, leadership, and fulfillment.If you've ever felt stuck in life, this conversation is for you.I absolutely loved it and I hope you will too!CONNECT WITH JENNIFER: Website: http://www.thewideawakening.com/Email: support@thewideawakening.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewideawakening/Book: UnstuckDownload my FREE eBook: A Weekend of Feeling GreatIf you enjoyed this episode, please FOLLOW, RATE, REVIEW & SHARE!!

Aerodynamics expert David Wheater is our podcast guest
Somewhere between the thing you can touch and the number that only points back at it, physics keeps a question it rarely says out loud, which is what actually counts as real. We built a simple chart to drag that question into the light, a two axis map where every idea has to declare itself, structure or relation, physical or nonphysical, a body sitting at a location or a placeless thing made of pure math. Watch energy, spacetime, the wavefunction, and the long gone aether stagger up to the grid and try to prove they still point back to the world of bodies, and watch the audience push back in real time. This is philosophy of physics played out loud, ontology and metaphysics with the house lights up, an open invitation to see the hidden scaffolding under everything we call real.#Physics #Metaphysics #Ontology #Spacetime #quantumphysics Pre-order our upcoming book, Paradox Lost: https://buy.stripe.com/7sY7sKdoN5d29eUdYddEs0bPATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciHOMEBREW 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-show#ParadoxLost #quantumphysics #quantummechanics #quantum #atom #physics #PhilosophyMERCH: 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
First episode in separate studios! Went well, and we had a fun discussion about the recent JRE Eric Weinstein episode, with the possibility that the science of physics has been stalled, or purposefully distracted, by the beautiful but seemingly useless mathematics of String Theory. Is it possible that "real physics" simply went "black"...that work is being done in secret that is actually making progress in unlocking the secrets of the universe?You can support us through Paypal or Patreon by heading over to our support page on our website: https://www.brothersoftheserpent.com/support
Hey Team! I've been on a bit of a break this summer, but I wanted to help celebrate International ADHD Awareness Day by dropping a new episode. We often think that achieving big things requires feeling miserable during the process. We buy into the myth that if a task isn't agonizing, it isn't worth the time we put into it. My guest today is Jia Jiang, an expert in rejection resilience, a Duke MBA graduate, and the founder of Wuju Learning. After stepping away from a stable corporate career at Dell and LinkedIn to launch a tech startup, Jia realized his deepest bottleneck wasn't a lack of talent, but a profound fear of rejection. Fueled with this insight, he launched 100 Days of Rejection Therapy and filmed himself requesting absurd things from strangers daily. And this is actually when I first came across Jia 11 years ago, so it was quite the treat to get to talk with him and learn about his new book, Easy Discipline. Jia brings a unique lens to the table because he's battled his own severe, late-understood ADHD and procrastination loops since growing up in Beijing when ADHD just wasn't considered a thing. In this episode, we talk about shifting away from transactional, anxiety-inducing task completion and moving toward what he calls the "Artist Mindset." We also break down how masking and over-indexing on how other people perceive us turns into a form of self-sabotage, where we pre-reject ourselves before we even give our true traits a chance. Jia's Easy Ambition substack- https://substack.com/@jiajiang Jia's New Book- Easy Discipline: An Unconventional Way to Achieve Ambitious Things If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at HackingYourADHD.com/303 YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/y835cnrk Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HackingYourADHD This Episode's Top Tips Stop declaring war on your own brain by trying to grind through tasks using sheer willpower. Willpower is a finite biological resource that inevitably runs out, and relying on it just triggers a cycle of broken resolutions and self-blame. Instead, shift your strategy to working with your human nature by building environment-based systems that remove structural friction from the start. If your daily routine constantly feels like Sisyphus endlessly pushing a heavy boulder up a mountain, you are fighting psychological gravity. Instead of forcing yourself through tasks with external pressure, anchor the process in intrinsic enjoyment so the activity becomes your default state. When you flip the physics this way, the boulder starts rolling downhill, meaning it actually takes more active energy to stop your momentum than to keep going. Masking and over-analyzing how others perceive you creates an intense cognitive tension that completely paralyzes the ADHD brain. Break out of this by adopting the "Artist Mindset"—reframing stressful interactions or projects not as rigid transactions where you need approval, but as unreplicable opportunities to express your authentic presence. Focusing on full creative expression in the moment completely bypasses the perfectionism trap and lowers social anxiety.
Dr. Simon Sponberg is Dunn Family Professor and Assistant Professor in the School of Physics and the School of Biological Sciences, as well as Adjunct Assistant Professor in Biomedical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech). Through his research, Simon is interested in understanding how the brain works with muscles to make bodies move. Animals move gracefully in nearly all environments on Earth, and many types of movement can be difficult to perform in robotics and other created systems. Simon uses animal models to study how the body and the muscles inform the brain in terms of the information we take in and how we react to the environment. When he's not doing science, Simon loves to cook. Cooking is an excellent creative outlet, it allows him to experience and understand other cultures, and it's fun to cook with people and enjoy the results together afterwards. Simon is also a big fan of hiking and spending time outdoors. He received his B.A. in physics and biology from Lewis & Clark College and his Ph.D. in Integrative Biology from the University of California, Berkeley. Afterwards, Simon conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Washington before joining the faculty at Georgia Tech. He has been the recipient of an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biological Informatics, the University of Washington Postdoctoral Mentoring Award, the Young Investigator Award from the International Society for Neuroethology, an NSF Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award, a Klingenstein-Simons Fellowship in the Neurosciences, and a Hertz Fellowship. In our interview, Simon shares more about his life and science.

In this episode, the network-topologist-turned-gravity-theorist explains her "Gravity from Entropy" action, which treats matter and geometry symmetrically through a geometric quantum relative entropy (not the horizon entropy of Verlinde or Jacobson). She details why it reduces to Einstein's equations at low energy while predicting a dynamical, always-positive dark energy term (the "G field"), how it may avoid black hole singularities and reproduce the area law without invoking holography, and why she believes understanding the brain may be harder than understanding quantum gravity. We close with her advice for young researchers. I hope you enjoy.

There are still God-fearing, God-loving people attending Bethel Church. That's exactly what makes this episode hard to make. But in light of recent events, we have to ask: Have we reached the point of mark and avoid? This is a one-stop, 30-minute review of concerns with Bethel to see the patterns.ABOUT THIS EPISODE:Remnant Radio has kept an eye on Bethel for years - through the grave soaking scandal, through Bill Johnson's daughter-in-law describing the Holy Spirit as a "genie," through the New Age framework quietly baked into Physics of Heaven, through Culture of Honor, through Bob Jones and Kenneth Copeland getting platformed anyway, and now through Shawn Bolz. We have reviewed many of these practices and situations over the years, and our comments have grown firmer and sterner toward Bethel leadership.Now there's a new development, and it's not about doctrine. According to Mike Winger's sources, the people currently being let go at Bethel are the ones who kept asking the questions about transformation and change. If that's accurate, it isn't a staffing decision, but a pattern about the thinking and decision making of Bethel leadership.So Josh asks the question a lot of Bethel's own alumni have been asking quietly for months, and finally says out loud what he's suspected for a while: is this still a church working through its mistakes, or has leadership moved somewhere it can't recover from? Are we at mark and avoid?This isn't a pile-on. It's for the people who've genuinely loved this church and are trying to figure out what faithfulness looks like now that the pattern is this clear.0:00 – Introduction0:22 – Bethel Controversy Background3:55 – Grave Soaking & Genie Scandal5:34 – Michael Brown Interviews Bill Johnson6:20 – Winger's First Bethel Review7:21 – Physics Of Heaven Exposed8:32 – Kenneth Copeland Endorsement8:58 – Shawn Bolz Scandal Breaks10:03 – Winger Exposes Shawn Bolz13:56 – Bethel's Public Apology16:47 – Passion Translation Plagiarism17:23 – Layoffs And NDAs20:01 – NDA Rights And Scripture27:01 – PR Versus Real Repentance29:54 – Examine Your Own ChurchPLAYLIST ON POLICING THE CHARISMATIC MOVEMENT:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMsjeViSScFHSZqA1Q85VKxRrkvEYXBecPREVIOUS RR EPISODES OF BETHEL CHURCH:2020 - https://youtu.be/sOTdC5LnrVA2020 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soFFhiYZY-E2020 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMkKILXkKWs2020 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRvpVqmk5RU2020 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6k91pFZWVc2022 - https://youtu.be/w8b7y7mWIvg2022 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XlUPjWRqpc2022 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hseSRlFKzSM2022 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTcgjtvc91E2022 - https://youtu.be/9Bys8_ylGUk2026 - https://youtu.be/TN6UbN0Vq6E2026 - https://youtu.be/NSWzRCDTPNU2026 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7U1-rugrYZM2026 - https://youtu.be/PEKIozi7Cjc2026 - https://youtu.be/z0PTDwlpQPo2026 - https://youtu.be/AcXNqe4vg6ESubscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

Independent researcher Gary Leckey joins Gary Cocciolillo for a wide-ranging exploration of the patterns connecting consciousness, frequency, nature, technology, and ancient spiritual systems. They discuss Leckey's Harmonic Nexus model, artificial ionospheres and spacecraft shielding, emotional resonance between people, sacred geometry, cymatics, AI, simulation theory, reincarnation, and the possibility that consciousness is reality reflecting through different forms. This conversation moves from speculative physics to mysticism and asks one central question: Are the same underlying patterns repeating through nature, culture, technology, and consciousness?AppleSpotify

I began this lecture by saying I was daunted by what I was about to talk about. There are several reasons for this. First, I will lead you through the development of what was certainly most important theoretical development in the 19th century, and what could easily be considered the most important mathematical framework in all of physics. Second, this development affected our modern picture of the universe more than almost any other. Next, this development made our modern technological society possible. And finally, it allowed a calculation that ultimately unveiled the true nature of light. A calculation we will perform together during this lectureI am going to take you through what is often taught in a whole semester course in physics. So hold onto your hats. Take it step by step. I think the reward of understanding will be worth the effort. I hope at the end of this lecture you agree with me. This month I will be traveling with the Origins Project and a group of 27 intrepid travelers to Cyprus and Greece. So the next Origins podcast will not air until August. I hope your July is enjoyable. As always, an ad-free video version of this podcast is also available to paid Critical Mass subscribers. Your subscriptions support the non-profit Origins Project Foundation, which produces the podcast.

Is beauty a reliable indicator of scientific truth? Or is it merely a distraction?Some of the best scientists throughout history have equated beauty with truth. But is this a mistake? Join pioneering physicist Lisa Randall to discuss the allure and dangers of equating beautiful advances with scientific achievement. Specifically, the talk will cover the subjective nature of beauty, and instances where beauty succeeded and where it failed, bringing in notions of symmetry and symmetry breaking.One of the most daring theoretical physicists alive today, Lisa Randall is the Frank B. Baird, Jr. Professor of Science at Harvard University. Randall's books Warped Passages and Knocking on Heaven's Door have both been on the New York Times 100 notable books listsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

No other podcast has this! https://economist.com/TOE This podcast is about dark matter — and Professor Philip Mannheim thinks it isn't missing at all, just hiding in plain sight as the rest of the visible universe. In his first-ever podcast, on ideas he's pursued since 1972, Mannheim lays out conformal gravity: a theory built on Weyl symmetry rather than Einstein's equations, which explains galaxy rotation curves without dark matter, tames the cosmological constant, and fits the accelerating universe without fine-tuning. With longtime collaborator Carl Bender, he also resolves gravity's infamous "ghost" problem using PT symmetry instead of Hermiticity — suggesting the graviton may not even exist as a particle.
