In this episode, host Julie Varner Walsh explores her idea of the “spiritual physics” – a concept through which she tries to make sense of the mess in the world – especially in politics, and in the way politics has come to affect our relationships with one another.She believes there is a truth to human relationship that is both deeper than and counter to our basic human inclinations, and that this truth applies to both small-scale human relationships (like family, friendship, and community) and large-scale relationships (like politics, society, and international affairs). Follow Julie on Instagram and Substack, and subscribe both there and here to support the podcast.Theme music is by www.purple-planet.com

Dr. Mark Saffman is a Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He received is B.Sc. with honors in Applied Physics from the California Institute of Technology. Mark's research focuses on quantum computing. He and his colleagues are trying to build a new kind of computer called a quantum computer that can solve some types of problems that are unreachable for current supercomputers. A quantum computer uses individual atoms and has power that exceeds what you can do with known classical computing approaches. For Mark, physics is a hobby as well as his job. When he's not thinking about physics, Mark likes spending time with his family, including his young kids. Getting outside and enjoying nature is a great way for Mark to relax and unwind. Mark worked as a Technical Staff Member at TRW Defense and Space systems and subsequently an Optical Engineer at Dantec Electronics Inc. in Denmark before going back to graduate school to earn his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Colorado at Boulder. Next, Mark worked as a Senior Scientist at Riso National Laboratory in Denmark before joining the faculty at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Mark has received many honors and awards during his career including the Vilas Associate Award from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, an Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship, as well as the Research and Creative Work and the William Walter Jr. Awards from the University of Colorado. In addition, he has been named a Fellow of the Optical Society of America and a Fellow of the American Physical Society. Mark joined us in this interview to talk about his experiences in life and science.

Why is the universe the way it is? Wherever we look, we find ordered structures: from stars to planets to living cells. Molecular Storms: The Physics of Stars, Cells and the Origin of Life (Springer Nature, 2023) shows that the same driving force is behind structure everywhere: the incessant random motion of the components of matter. Physicists call it thermal noise. Let's call it the molecular storm. This storm drives the fusion reactions that make stars shine. It drives whirlpools and currents in atmospheres and oceans. It spins and distorts molecules until they are in the right orientation to react and form new substances. In living cells, it drives proteins to fold and molecules to self-assemble. It is behind every detail of the astonishing molecular machines that control cellular processes. Using cutting-edge research, "Molecular Storms" takes us on a dazzling journey from the early universe to the interior of the smallest living things. There, in a nanoscale world of biological devices, it explains the physics behind the chemical system which we call Life. Whether you're someone with a general interest in science or a student looking to add context to your studies, this book is for you. "Molecular Storms" is an accessible and captivating read that will deepen your appreciation of the power of science to explain the world. Learn more about your ad choices.

Seven And A Half Lessons About The Brain From the author of How Emotions Are Made, a myth-busting primer on the brain in the tradition of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics and Astrophysics for People in a HurryHave you ever wondered why you have a brain? Let renowned neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett demystify that big gray blob between your ears. In seven short essays (plus a bite-size story about how brains evolved), this slim, entertaining, and accessible collection reveals mind-expanding lessons from the front lines of neuroscience research. You'll learn where brains came from, how they're structured (and why it matters), and how yours works in tandem with other brains to create everything you experience. Along the way, you'll also learn to dismiss popular myths such as the idea of a “lizard brain” and the alleged battle between thoughts and emotions—or between nature and nurture—to determine your behavior.

 I developed my composition from the gentle hubbub of people inside the echoey library of one of the world's great universities: the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM)— the National Autonomous University of Mexico. In July 2007, UNESCO proclaimed the UNAM Central Library, along with the UNAM Campus as World Heritage sites. The recording was created by Mexican sound recordist par excellence Erick Ruiz Arrellano.  This simple spatial human reverberance at UNAM generated multiple sound memories for me, with intersecting  connections. The key connection is between my research on 1920s nationalism and the high energy Dance of the Old Men, from the P'urhépecha peoples of Michoacán; and Mexico's current presidenta, Dr. Claudia Scheinbaum Pardo, who studied at, and was then a professor at UNAM, working on energy and climate change. For her undergraduate thesis she spent time in the P'urhépecha region working on energy and stoves.  My composition juxtaposes and interweaves various sonic fragments and threads combining human voices—UNAM library hubbub, President Claudia Scheinbaum, my voice as translator and narrator—and two P'urhépecha musical ensembles. In the 1990s, I lived and studied in Michoacán, Mexico for my doctoral thesis. Although British, I was fascinated by Mexican histories and heritages, and decided to focus on uses of Indigenous P'urhépecha dance, music and ritual practices for high level state processes of national-identity formation and tourism in the 1920s, after the end of the revolution. The President and the government versions of “heritage” to generate Mexicanness to unite the extraordinarily diverse country that is Mexico; and to market and attract tourists to Mexico from the USA. I focused on the appropriation of La Danza de Los Viejitos, Dance of the Old Men, from the Island of Jarácuaro, Lake Pátzcuaro (along with Noche de Muertos on the Island of Janitzio). Part of my time was spent in the archives at UNAM, seeking newspapers, photographs and audio samples from the 1920s.  In the early 1990s, Mexican President, Dr. Claudia Scheinbaum Pardo, studied for an undergraduate degree in engineering at UNAM. For her undergraduate thesis, she spent weeks in the P'urhépecha village of Cherán Atzicuirín (Cheranástico), with the intention of teaching and studying issues of energy in relation to wood-burning stoves, but realized that she was learning more from the P'urhépecha villagers. In the 1990s, she studied for her doctoral research at UNAM, including time at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, University of California at Berkeley. She went to become a Research Professor at UNAM, focusing on steel-making.  Although our lives and experiences are profoundly different, I share some connections with President Dr. Claudia Scheinbaum Pardo through our understandings of P'urhépecha lifeways; of UNAM; of Presidential processes; and also of the University of California.  As I now live and work in the USA, and given the recent events of USA President Trump in relation to tariffs and migration, I have selected an excerpt of President Scheinbaum speaking after the tariff announcement. I have also included sound fragments of her speaking about her time as an undergraduate student in Cherán Atzicuirín and as professor at UNAM.  Sound Fragments: Original  Library of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM)— the National Autonomous University of Mexico. Erick Ruiz Arrellano.  Added Fragment 1 Message from President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo to the people of Mexico Feb 2, 2025 “Good afternoon, everyone. As you're probably aware, yesterday the United States government imposed 25 percent tariffs on products we export to your country. Look, this hasn't existed for 30 years, because we have a Free Trade Agreement. The last Free Trade Agreement was signed by President López Obrador and President Trump himself.…” Fragment 2 Message from President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo to the people of Mexico Feb 2, 2025 “… To our Mexican sisters and brothers in the United States, I want to tell you that your President and an entire people are here to defend you. If you wish to return to Mexico, we welcome you here. The people of Mexico are brave and full of dignity. They are the most wonderful people on earth. I tell you, your President is here. We have courage and determination, but always, as I have said on other occasions: we must act with a cool head and love for the people. Nothing we do will affect the dignity and interests of the Mexican people. I suggest we wait for President Trump's response to our proposal. And in tomorrow's "Mañanera," in "The People's Morning Conference," I will be informing you of the first steps of what we call Plan B. As Juárez said: Nothing by force, everything by reason and law. And between individuals, as between nations, respect for the rights of others is peace.” NOTE: “Júarez” was Benito Júarez, the 26th President of Mexico (1858–1872), the first Indigenous president of Mexico (Zapotec) and the first democratically elected Indigenous president in postcolonial Latin America.  The famous axiom implies that peaceful coexistence is based on the recognition and observance of laws and standards that protect the rights of all. Júarez expressed this phrase in a specific historical context, after the victory of the Republic after that Second Mexican Empire. The axiom has been transformed into a slogan that remains pertinent and that emphasizes the importance of ethics and morals in the construction of peace.  Fragment 3 Scheinbaum visiting the P'urhépecha village of Cherán Atzicuirín (Cheranástico), Michoacán. July 2023. When she was Mayor of Mexico City, Scheinbaum visited Cherán Atzicuirín (Cheranástico), a village where she spent weeks as an UNAM undergraduate student of Physics, researching for her undergraduate thesis on energy and cooking stoves.  As rain falls, a P'urhépecha banda accompanies Scheinbaum and villagers as they dance through the streets to one of the homes.  “Here in Michoacán they use a pottery griddle (comal)”  Fragment 4 Recordando mi época de investigadora en la UNAM.  Remembering my time as a researcher at UNAM.  Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo Aug 4, 2023 In 2023, when she was Mayor of Mexico City, Scheinbaum took time to explain her long career as a researcher at UNAM, in the Institute of Engineering, studying energy and climate change, specifically related to steel production and emissions reductions.  “I pursued a career as a university professor and researcher in the Institute of Engineering at UNAM. Through those years I studied energy and climate change and one of the subjects I studied was specifically the steel-making industry.” Fragment 5 La Danza de los Viejitos, The Dance of the Old Men, Pichátaro, Michoacán 1996  Recorded as part of my doctoral research  In this brief recording, the ensemble Los P'urhépecha from the Island of Jarácuaro are playing and dancing the Dance of the Old Men inside the church in the tiny P'urhépecha village of Pichátaro. I had the privilege of playing violin with the ensemble for many years. The ensemble is comprised of violins, vihuela and guitarrón. The zapateado—fast foot-work— is performed wearing shoes with wooden soles.  The echoey sounds P'urhépecha music and dance inside the colonial architecture in the tiny P'urhépecha village seem to pair with the echoey human voices inside the library of UNAM. Library at UNAM, Mexico City reimagined Ruth Hellier.

We are used to think about the universe as a structure which started with a Big Bang and then expanded. Sir Roger Penrose, who received the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics, has developed an alternative theory of the universe based on Einstein's Theory of General Relativity which is called "Conformal Cyclic Cosmology". In this new model we don't have one single Big Bang, but an iteration of infinite cycles (or aeons) of expansion and cooling, each beginning with a “big bang” and ending in a “big crunch”. Science Journalist Jens Degett interviews Professor Niels Obers, Director of the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics (NORDITA) and professor at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, on Roger Penrose's theory and how much evidence is needed in order to change the general view of a central paradigm which is written in our school textbooks. What if Penrose is right? What consequences or perspectives will it have for us?

Our chat today is with Dr. Kevin Knuth, who joins us from Albany. He is a Professor of Physics at the University at Albany (SUNY). He is a former NASA research scientist designing artificial intelligence algorithms for astrophysical data analysis. His current research interests include the foundations of physics, quantum information, autonomous robotics, the search for and characterization of extrasolar planets, and unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP). Like any good scientist, Kevin is truly interested in the weird. He is inspired by space and by gravity. We learn on what is intimidating vs what is scary, what is perceived as magic, telepathy and intuition, “contriving coincidences”, the importance of the subjective experience, investigating UAPs, a story about the Matrix and a hairy raising story about a personal experience that became a catalyst for his sleeplessness and his deep curiosity about the weird. What is going on? Why is there not nothing?

What happens when cultural ideology reshapes how we read the Bible—especially when it comes to sexuality and identity?In this compelling conversation, Tim Barnett—apologist, speaker, and co-author (alongside Alisa Childers) of The Deconstruction of Christianity: What It Is, Why It's Destructive, and How to Respond—joins us to unpack the growing trend of deconstruction today. Together, we explore how cultural ideology around identity, sexuality, and personal autonomy is shaping the way many believers approach Scripture, and why the biblical sexual ethic often becomes a flashpoint in the process of walking away from historic Christian faith. Tim thoughtfully addresses the rise of revisionist interpretations of Scripture, the philosophical undercurrents of deconstruction, and the ways in which church leaders can respond with both truth and grace. Whether you're wrestling with these questions yourself or leading others who are, this episode offers clarity, conviction, and hope for holding to a vibrant faith in a rapidly shifting cultural landscape.Tim Barnett is an apologist and speaker with Stand to Reason (STR), an apologetics ministry dedicated to training Christians to think more clearly about their faith.

Transcript of the Interview: Manya Brachear Pashman  Late Thursday night, Israel launched a series of preemptive strikes against Iran in a military offensive dubbed Operation Rising Lion. The wave of strikes comes after the International Atomic Energy Agency censured Iran for obstructing its inspections after the revelation of a secretive nuclear site. What is happening on the ground, what's next, and what are the implications for Israel, Iran, and the broader Middle East? AJC Jerusalem director, Avital Leibovich, who also serves as Lieutenant Colonel in the IDF reserves, joins us now from reserve duty as counterattacks from Iran have begun. Avital, thank you for joining us with pleasure. Avital, negotiations for a new nuclear deal with Iran have been underway since April. There have been five rounds, maybe six, and another was going to begin on Sunday. President Trump also asked Israel to hold off on this preemptive operation. So why did Israel choose to launch these strikes? At this particular time, Avital Leibovich  Israel took a decision already to prepare for a preemptive attack on Iran. Since November, what happened in November? In November, Hezbollah lost the majority of its capabilities, of its military capabilities, and also of its leadership. Actually, a lot of his leaders, military leaders, have been eliminated, starting with Nasrallah, Hassan, Nasrallah, and going on to all the major generals of the organization. And basically the Shiite axis, as we call it here in Israel, was broken. Add to this, what happened a month later in December, when Assad's regime crashed, collapsed and was replaced by an anti Iranian man, jihadist, which jihadist background, by the name of Ahmed al Shara. So Iran was actually by on its own, really, because instead of circling Israel from the north, both from Syria and from Lebanon. Now it was circling in a very one dimension way, only from the east. So in order to do that, Iran figured out it needed to really upscale its nuclear capabilities, and for that, they sped up a few processes, for example, uranium enrichment, but not only that, also the weaponization of a potential nuclear bomb. And all of these steps actually brought us to a point that we are today, the point of no return. Iran will not be able to return to 20 years ago, 30 years ago, when it did not have those capabilities as it has today. For us in Israel, this is an issue of existence, either we exist or we don't, and that is the sole reason why the preemptive strike actually began today. This is according to Israeli intelligence, we have all the indications and data showing us this really major leap. And look the IAEA, you know, they issue reports every couple of months. It's their kind of responsibility for us. It's a matter of life and death. We cannot, you know, comply only with reports. And the reports sit on some shelf somewhere and and there's a lot of dust which is piling up on these reports for us, we needed action. So based on this very accurate intelligence, and some of this intelligence that has been accumulated for many, many years, you can see in the attack in Iran, you can see the very accurate attacks, the pinpointed strikes, which actually are directed at specific terrorists and not causing damage to uninvolved civilians, just To the locals. Yeah, Manya Brachear Pashman And how do you evaluate the Trump administration's response so far, given the diplomatic efforts underway? Well, Avital Leibovich I think that he is using the attacks to leverage and put pressure on Iran to resume the negotiation table in a few days. And as you know, there were six rounds of talks, and the best of my knowledge, there were huge gaps between the two sides, the American side and the Iranian side. I'm not sure these gaps can be bridged. We heard over and over again, President Trump say that Iran will never be able to enrich uranium. And then we heard Iranian leaders like Hamina say, this is the basic right of the Iranian people to enrich uranium. So I'm not sure how you can get you can bridge such a deep gap overall, I think that the President. Uh, has been congratulating Israel on its excellent attacks until now. But again, we are in the beginning. We're in the beginning phase of the attacks, although they're spread all over Iran. This is still the first day. We need to keep this in mind. Manya Brachear Pashman  The targets included more than nuclear sites. It included ballistic missile sites as well, and we're receiving word that Iran has fired ballistic missiles toward Israel as we speak, they fired ballistic missiles on Israel in April. If this counterattack continues, do you expect the United States to step in to defend Israel, and do you expect some of your neighbors to step in and help as well as they did in April the United Arab Emirates or Bahrain Avital Leibovich So as for the neighbors, I think that if their aerial space will be violated and breached by Iran, then of course, they have the right, like any other country, they're sovereign, to protect their own airspace. First of all, they will be protecting themselves and their people, not Israel, as for the US. This really depends on what Iran chooses to do next. The retaliation that Iran had practiced until now was launching 100 plus drones, explosive drones, to Israel. Almost all of these drones have been intercepted. This happened in the morning today. Now if Iran will decide that the ballistic missiles or the cruise missiles that it will launch here, will attack not only Israel, but also US bases across the region. Then here, there's a question, how will the US respond? Will the US retaliate as well? If that would happen, we could have even a more significant strike together the US and Israel. Manya Brachear Pashman  These attacks killed two lead scientists, IRGC commanders, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps leaders. Is there a long-term goal of prompting a regime change? Avital Leibovich  So first of all, there are few types of targets in Iran, and you mentioned some of them. Physics and nuclear scientists are, of course, a critical human resource to the Iranian regime, as they rely on their long term knowledge and expertise on producing the bomb as soon as possible, as quick as possible, and by eliminating them in a way, you are removing the immediate threat. Other options are economic options. For example, really Iran relies on oil and buys it from China and maybe other countries as well. So obviously, Israel could decide to target its oil reserves, and this will be, of course, a significant economic blow. The third option is to target the government, leadership, politicians. Now, Israel, up to this moment, did not choose an economic target or a political target, but this may change in the future. The military targets, of course, are the most immediate targets that Israel is attacking, and the idea is to eliminate the immediate threat on Israel for the long range? Well, in the Middle East, in this part of the world, unfortunately, long range is something we can only put as a vision which is not bad. I'm happy to dream. I'm dreaming often Iran, which is similar to the Iran we knew before 1979 before the revolution, a moderate country, a human, loving country with values that I can share and adopt just the same. I'm looking at a different Middle East, maybe in a few years, with an expansion of the Abraham Accords, and creating an axis of moderate countries and other Shiite countries. So all of these changes that we're witnessing right now in the region and may still witness in the future, may all have an impact also on the long range outcome of the current war, which is unprecedented. Manya Brachear Pashman   I know Israel calls this a preemptive attack, but what do you say to countries who have already expressed concern about what they call an unprovoked attack? Avital Leibovich Well, I think it's enough for them just to look at the many kind of materials, which Israel and the Israeli. Army released today, showing what they have done, what Iran has done on its own soil. Now, when you follow the targets we just spoke about, you can see that these are not civilian targets. In other words, Israel is not attacking a school or a building just in the middle of Tehran for nothing. It's attacking deliberate military related sites. Actually, I think that, if I'm daring to dream again, I think that the people of Israel and the people of Iran have a lot in common. They're both people with deep heritage, with beautiful cultures. So I do envision one day a different regime in Iran, such a regime that could really bring the two countries together, opening a new page. And I think it will do a better Middle East here for all of us. Manya Brachear Pashman  We have talked about how Hamas embeds itself among the Palestinian civilians in Gaza. So no matter how precise Israel's attacks are, civilians are killed. Does Iran do the same thing? Or, I should say, does the Iranian regime do the same thing in Iran? Avital Leibovich  Obviously, Iran is not a democracy, and there is a similarity here with Hamas. We are talking about almost a fanaticist religious kind of aspect, which is also very similar to Hamas. Actually, Hamas and Iran have been connected for decades, for many, many decades, so they do share a lot of similarities. But unfortunately, the freedom of movement, freedom of speech, freedom of of culture, is not something which is of an ordinary situation in Iran. It's very unfortunate. You know, I'm sometimes following the social media in Iran, and I see how people speak about the regime. I see how they curse the regime. I see how they aspire for better lives. I see them organize parties in basements and so so the regime will not find out. I see them the women wearing jeans underneath hijabs long dresses, trying to conceal them for God forbid, so they would not be considered as not modest. So it's very unfortunate that the public is suffering in Iran, and we see that, not only in the general atmosphere, but also we see it with the standards of life, they have only electricity a couple of days of couple of hours a day. Water is scarce. The the prices of food, they are huge. Take, for example, today, one American dollar, it equals almost 1 million rials. For comparison, $1 equals three point 60 Israeli shekels. So yeah, they're suffering from many, many perspectives. Manya Brachear Pashman  Thank you so much for joining us stay safe.  Avital Leibovich   Thank you, Manya, and I'll just thank everybody for their support. I'm Israel.

Matthew Brown, another UFO whistleblower repeating the same tireless mythos, posted something very cryptic online, suggesting the following: the “White House has long possessed a unique AI capable of accurately predicting a range of future events,” Sam Altman and https://x.com/shellenberger “is responsible for murdering the first sentient ‘artificial' intelligence created in the PUBLIC realm,” and “if you are serious about saving Humanity from itself (and the Others).” In a July 8, 1947, US government memorandum (https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/ufoaliendatabase/images/3/3f/674B2E93-2973-4A91-A5A9-01A571E6A941.jpeg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20190219000319) we read the following statements about UFOs: “part of the disks carry crews, others are under remote control,” “they do NOT come from any ‘planet' as we use the word, but from an etheric planet which interpenetrates with our own and is not perceptible to us,” “the region from which they come is NOT the ‘astral plane,' but corresponds to the Lokas or Talas.”  Whether this document is honest or deceptive, or both, we do know that the US federal government actively engaged in UFO disinformation and misinformation via recommendations from the https://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/ufos/robertsonpanelreport.pdf in 1953. We also know that the Wall Street Journal just now in 2025 confirmed an old UFO theory, that the Pentagon utilized disinformation to fuel “https://archive.md/9cGKu” and to protect secret military technology like the F-117 stealth fighter. As for the LOKAS, this is a Hindu concept relating to a universe, plane, or other realm of existence, perhaps even a mental state. To make matters even stranger, Brown also posted what appears to be a https://x.com/SunOfAbramelin/status/1930791280260550830/photo/3, something reported at three of the most famous UFO incidents too: Roswell, Rendlesham, Kecksburg. And the recent https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/scientists-reveal-truth-behind-ufo-spotted-in-major-city-with-cryptic-message/ar-AA1FFMKJincident as well, which researchers using AI have translated as: “The origin of birth through union and energy in the cycle of transformation, meeting point of unity, expansion, and consciousness — individual consciousness.” The symbols in the Brown post appear similar to Angelic Script, something John Dee, the mystic astrologer of Queen Elizabeth I, deciphered from communications he and alchemist-clairvoyant Edward Kelley had with supposed angels. In the 16th-century, the men https://www.rcp.ac.uk/news-and-media/news-and-opinion/the-mystical-objects-of-john-dee/, including black mirror (computer screens) and crystal scrying balls called shew-stones (palantíri) within which appeared blurry letters that today we call Enochian Script. Underneath the symbols in the post is a translation that reads LOAGAETH, a term referring to Enochian language / Celestial Alphabet. Brown also goes by a curious name on X: “Sun of Abramelin.” This name refers to a 15th-century manuscript called “https://sacred-texts.com/grim/abr/index.htm.” The text has had a huge influence on modern ceremonial magic, and has been cited as a primary influence on Aleister Crowley, someone involved with Jack Parson of the Jet Propulsions Laboratory. As https://www.wired.com/story/jpl-jack-parsons/ writes: “When Parsons worked on his rocketry experiments in the desert he would recite a pagan poem to Pan.”  The sigil itself does not seem to be much pictorial magic symbol, but instead a large circular table. In fact - and maybe it's only because of its circular nature - there is something about it that mirrors the https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Schematic-layout-of-the-Large-Hadron-Collider-LHC-83-The-four-main-experiments-are_fig7_254469235 and even the first official https://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uNvpodhMFcA/R9-zqZDWauI/AAAAAAAAATc/1-rj2TNE98I/w1200-h630-p-k-no-nu/first-atomic-bomb-drawing.jpg. We don't reach these conclusion haphazardly either.One company called ANTHROPIC (human affairs), which researches AI safety, said they got a glimpse inside the black box of this technology back in 2024. https://www.wired.com/story/anthropic-black-box-ai-research-neurons-features/ of the neural net of its LLM, Claude, and pinpointed which combinations of its crude artificial neurons evoke specific concepts, or “features.” Notice the monikers here: tangle, evoke, lurks. This itself invokes images of tentacles, ritual evocations, and something from the abyss. It is therefore no surprise then that https://futurism.com/neural-network-cthulhu-nightcafe or why https://archive.md/7PuFO - a https://futurism.com/the-byte/experts-dark-joke-ai-horrifying-monster-mask. https://officechai.com/ai/anthropics-ai-models-began-speaking-sanskrit-when-talking-to-each-other-company-says/, not computer language - also, discussing Indian philosophy - which as of 2024 https://medium.com/illumination/mysterious-connection-between-sanskrit-artificial-intelligence-1b85f8b003c3 for language processing and communication as opposed to Java, Python, Lisp, Prolog, and C++. Sanskrit is therefore https://www.originofscience.com/science/sanskrits-role-in-advancing-ai-a-comprehensive-study/ Origin of Science stated that: “The research highlights Sanskrit's potential in connecting ancient knowledge with modern AI applications.”Sanskrit is one of the oldest known human languages, and likely predates any written form going back further than even Sumerian; it is the LANGUAGE OF THE GODS. A 2009 book maintains the same from https://www.ucpress.edu/books/the-language-of-the-gods-in-the-world-of-men/paper: “The language of the Gods in the World of Men: Sanskrit, Culture, and Power in Premodern India.” In other words, Sanskrit is a true Celestial Alphabet. The Rigveda, composed in Vedic Sanskrit, contains hymns about the universe's creation and dissolution, which directly aligns with CERN's purpose.  Also on the grounds of CERN is the imfafous statue of Shiva Nataraja.This subatomic world is likewise the realm of science fiction and science reality, as the https://www.nbcnews.com/mach/science/scientists-are-searching-mirror-universe-it-could-be-sitting-right-ncna1023206, just as the https://www.energy.gov/articles/searching-upside-down and searchers for the real “upside down.” This Shiva statue the same one that so-called researchers performed a https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-just-performed-a-fake-human-sacrifice-at-cern-for-some-reason.Physicist Archana Sharma (arcana), the first Indian scientist to join CERN was also just recently recognized for her work, to which commented: “our commitment to the philosophy of Vasudhev Kutumbakam—[a Sanskrit phrase that means] ‘https://www.symmetrymagazine.org/article/indias-gem-at-cern-archana-sharma?language_content_entity=und.'”The https://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uNvpodhMFcA/R9-zqZDWauI/AAAAAAAAATc/1-rj2TNE98I/w1200-h630-p-k-no-nu/first-atomic-bomb-drawing.jpg mirrors in a way the Brown sigil and LHC design, and it describes the implosion process into the center core of plutonium. This was the basis of the Trinity bomb that was finally officially tested in July 16, 1945. J. Robert Oppenheimer famously said: “https://www.wired.com/story/manhattan-project-robert-oppenheimer/, the destroyer of worlds.” The trinity comes also from the Hindu concept of https://www.britannica.com/topic/trimurti-Hinduism. In 1946, the US conducted a series of major nuclear bomb tests and called it OPERATION https://www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles/operation-crossroads-atomic-bomb-aftermath, a term meaning “between the worlds,” guarded by Hecate. This Greek goddess represents transition and she corresponds with none other than the Hindu Kali, who is the divine essence of Shiva.  *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the decisive role of one of the great 20th Century physicists in solving the question of nuclear fission. It is said that Meitner (1878-1968) made this breakthrough over Christmas 1938 while she was sitting on a log in Sweden during a snowy walk with her nephew Otto Frisch (1904-79). Both were Jewish-Austrian refugees who had only recently escaped from Nazi Germany. Others had already broken uranium into the smaller atom barium, but could not explain what they found; was the larger atom bursting, or the smaller atom being chipped off or was something else happening? They turned to Meitner. She, with Frisch, deduced the nucleus really was splitting like a drop of water into a dumbbell shape, with the electrical charges at each end forcing the divide, something previously thought impossible, and they named this ‘fission'. This was a crucial breakthrough for which Meitner was eventually widely recognised if not at first.WithJess Wade A Royal Society University Research Fellow and Lecturer in Functional Materials at Imperial College, LondonFrank Close Professor Emeritus of Theoretical Physics and Fellow Emeritus at Exeter College, University of OxfordAnd Steven Bramwell Director of the London Centre for Nanotechnology and Professor of Physics at University College LondonProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list:Frank Close, Destroyer of Worlds: The Deep History of the Nuclear Age, 1895-1965 (Allen Lane, 2025)Ruth Lewin Sime, Lise Meitner: A Life in Physics (University of California Press, 1996)Marissa Moss, The Woman Who Split the Atom: The Life of Lise Meitner (Abrams Books, 2022)Patricia Rife, Lise Meitner and the Dawn of the Nuclear Age (Birkhauser Verlag, 1999) In Our Time is a BBC Studios Audio Production

Once aware of noise’s ability to dull, disrupt, distract, and debilitate, we become more intentional about our environment. Like active noise reduction, this intentionality may require us to introduce other sound sources to counteract the noise. Kent L. Gee, recipient of BYU’s most prestigious faculty honor—the Karl G. Maeser Distinguished Faculty Lecturer Award—delivered this forum on June 3, 2025, in recognition of this outstanding achievement. He is chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy.
