    Dr. Cynthia Li joins us to talk about her new book, The Medicine of Flow. Trained as an internist, Cynthia developed an autoimmune condition and then chronic fatigue and dysautonomia, illnesses largely dismissed at the time as being in her head. Her own body pushed her out of the paradigm she was trained in and into functional medicine, qigong, and intuitive healing. A decade later, a second crisis took her back to housebound and taught her what all her effort hadn't: coherence, and what she calls embodied flow. We talk about surrender that isn't passivity, why nervous system regulation is only part of the picture, and how coherence moves between bodies. Guest Cynthia Li, MD, is a physician who moved from public health to integrative medicine and intuitive healing, with earlier work at Kaiser Permanente's HIV/AIDS group, San Francisco General Hospital, St. Anthony Clinic, and Doctors Without Borders in rural China. A certified qigong teacher and healer since 2014, she has served as faculty for Rachel Remen's Healer's Art program at UCSF, and her story appeared in Dr. Kelly Turner's Radical Remission documentary.

    What if love, resonance, and political courage were not separate conversations, but facets of the same underlying reality?In this new episode of The Rose Woman Podcast, Christine welcomes back philosopher, environmental lawyer, and homesteader Tamlyn (Tam) M. Hunt to explore how consciousness, AI, renewable energy, and tropical panpsychism all meet in a single resonance-based view of the world. From Hawaii's ʻāina to the AI tsunami, from back-to-the-land experiments to a “resonance model of politics,” they trace how a deeper understanding of consciousness might change the way we do policy, leadership, and love itself.Tamlyn M. Hunt applies a unique blend of expertise in different but related fields to lead discussions on big picture trends. Tamlyn's decades of work as an environmental lawyer focused on renewable energy law and policy have given him tools to frame the necessary conversations on how we can make wise changes.Coupled with his academic work in philosophy, spirituality, and cognitive science, Tamlyn explores how we can use a deeper understanding of consciousness to relate to ourselves and our world in a more beneficial way.Through his work as a writer, scholar, and speaker, Tamlyn seeks to bridge connections across the gap between science and spirit. He is co-developer of the General Resonance Theory of consciousness, with Prof. Jonathan Schooler, and has published a number of peer-reviewed articles fleshing out the details of this rigorous approach to the study of consciousness.Tamlyn is also a novelist, working on his second novel, Leilani, set on the Big Island of Hawaii where he has lived since 2016.Listen in as Christine and Tam follow the thread from “it's all vibrations, man” to the AI reckoning, resilience politics, and ontological loveand invite you to feel how “the many become one and are increased by one” in your own life.(00:00:00): Introduction and Chapter Five of The Hippies Were Right (00:04:59): Overview Of General Resonance Theory and How “Everything Vibrates” Becomes A Theory Of Consciousness(00:08:39): Tam's Run For Hawaii State House and The Authenticity Tension In Modern Politics(00:13:06): Tam Explores Identity and Cultural Dynamics In Hawaii Politics (00:14:31): Tropical Panpsychism(00:16:02): Tam Examines The Inherent Salesmanship And Authenticity Tension In Politics (00:19:12): Framing The “Resilience Candidate” and The Polycrisis Of AI, Climate, And Governance(00:21:53): Tam Connects Social Movements, Virality, and Resonance In Politics (00:25:02): Origin Of The Hippies Were Right as a Memoir Plus Consciousness Philosophy(00:27:05): General Resonance Theory and The Changing Academic View Of Consciousness (00:31:13): Core Claims Of GRT: Universal Vibration, Tiny Units Of Awareness, and “The Many Become One”(00:35:49): Love As Ontological Reality and Entheogenic Experience(00:38:48): Indigenous Knowing and Green Ethics Of Reverence (00:42:35): Love For ʻĀina, Climate Law, And The Urgency Of Energy Transition (00:44:25): AI's Exploding Energy Demand Versus Its Huge Practical Upsides For Work and Creativity(00:53:03): Honoring Feminine Labor, Back-To-The-Land Women, and The Unseen Work That Sustains Movements(00:55:45): The Real Work Of Homesteading and The Need For Community-Scale, Shared-Resource Living(00:59:23): Three Core Takeaways: It's All Love, It's All Consciousness, and We Need System-Level Change NowHelpful links:Tam Hunt - Author of The Hippies Were Right!: About Consciousness and Everything Else available now on AmazonThe Hippies Were Right: It's All about Vibrations, Man!

    Thanks to our Partners, Pico Technology, and AutelWatch Full Video EpisodeA monologue from Jelly Roll prompted a simple but powerful idea: It is never too late to do the right thing.That does not mean “the right thing” is always obvious. People can look at the same situation from different perspectives, reach different conclusions, and each possess part of the truth. The challenge is remembering that the client, employee, employer, or competitor across from us is a human being before they are a problem to solve or a category to assign.In this episode, Matt considers how quickly automotive professionals can label a client as a “price shopper” when price may simply be the only part of the conversation the client understands. He also discusses clients arriving with information from Google or artificial intelligence, and how shops can use that information to create a better conversation about the time and access genuinely required for diagnostic testing.The episode then turns toward leadership, accountability, and hindsight. If we recognize that we mishandled a situation yesterday, last year, or many years ago, the passage of time does not prevent us from acknowledging it, apologizing, or trying to make it right.Finally, a physics thought experiment involving a bouncing ball and two reference frames illustrates how two observers can accurately describe the same event differently. Understanding another person's perspective does not require agreeing with it, but it may help us judge them less quickly and respond more thoughtfully.Topics include:Why clients often default to asking about priceInformation asymmetry between repair professionals and vehicle ownersResponding constructively when clients bring in AI-generated informationWhy diagnostic testing takes more time than a list of possible causes suggestsThe difference between understanding someone and agreeing with themRevisiting past decisions as a leaderApologies, accountability, and making amendsHow perspective changes what we observeRemembering the humanity of clients, coworkers, employers, and competitorsDoing the right thing for others and for yourselfAre you chasing elusive automotive problems?

    Today, we have a conversation about time, memory, and the bittersweet geography of human sorrow. Georgi Gospodinovis widely considered one of the most daring voices in contemporary European literature. His acclaimed novel, The Physics of Sorrow, won the prestigious Jan Michalski Prize in 2016, blending ancient myth and quantum physics to chronicle the delicate realities of post-socialist Eastern Europe. Joining him is Angela Rodel, a brilliant linguist, musician, and translator whose profound artistic empathy carries the flowing cadences of the Bulgarian language into vivid English. Together, this extraordinary creative duo made history by winning the 2023 International Booker Prizefor Time Shelter—the first book written in Bulgarian to ever receive the honor.Time Shelter is a masterfully dark, funny, and prescient novel. It begins with an enigmatic psychiatrist opening a clinic that treats Alzheimer's patients by meticulously recreating past decades to match their internal clocks. But the experiment quickly escapes the clinic walls, triggering a pan-European crisis where entire nations hold democratic referendums to choose which era of the past they will retreat into. It is a book that holds up a mirror to our own world, exploring what happens when a civilization faces a deficit of meaning and tries to weaponize nostalgia.(0:00) The Trap of Nostalgia(1:22) The Nonlinear Approach to Storytelling(3:53) Translating the Atmosphere(4:31) The Pandemic of the Past(6:37) Death and the Gardener(9:49) The Translators Calling(11:00) Slowing Down Time(13:14) Storytelling vs Propaganda(15:54) Translating the Atmosphere(18:19) What makes a good life?

His current interest is in open quantum systems and the application of quantum mechanics in biology. He is a prominent author and broadcaster. He is a regular presenter of TV science documentaries, such as the Bafta nominated Chemistry: a volatile history, and he hosts the long-running weekly BBC Radio 4 program, The Life Scientific.  He has written 15 books on popular science and the history of science, between them translated into twenty-six languages. His new book is On Time: The Physics That Makes the Universe Tick. In this episode, we focus on On Time. We discuss what time is, according to Physics; whether time has a direction; what it means that time is relative; how gravity affects time; what it would be like to fall into a black hole; how we measure time; whether time has a beginning and an end; and whether the Universe is deterministic. We also talk about whether it is possible to reconcile quantum mechanics, relativity, and thermodynamics. Finally, we discuss whether time travel is possible, and we talk about unanswered questions in the physics of time.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

    Erald Kolasi returns to the podcast to remind us that AI doesn't simply exist weightlessly in the ephemeral cloud. Drawing on his research into its global energy and emissions impact, Erald traces AI's vast material infrastructure, from mining, semiconductors, water, energy, and logistics to data centers and power generation. His life-cycle analysis reveals a monster-sized ecological footprint, in contrast to conventional estimates that focus narrowly on electricity consumed at data centers.But this goes deeper than technology. Steve and Erald examine AI through the dynamics of capital accumulation, monopoly power, financial speculation, imperialism, and the intimate relationship between corporations and the capitalist state. Its explosive growth reflects decisions about who controls society's resources and what they are used for. The conversation closes by imagining a radically different trajectory: publicly controlled technology directed toward reducing necessary labor and meeting human needs rather than enriching private capital and accelerating ecological destruction. What kind of political economic system would this require?AI is the subject, but capitalism is the story.Erald Kolasi is a writer and researcher focusing on the nexus between energy, technology, economics, complex systems, and ecological dynamics. His book, The Physics of Capitalism, came out from Monthly Review Press in February 2025. He received his PhD in Physics from George Mason University in 2016.

    Vad händer om vi börjar mixtra med det förflutna? Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Tidsresor är ett ständigt återkommande tema inom science fiction. Men frågan om tidens natur och huruvida vi skulle kunna manipulera den gäckar även verklighetens filosofer och fysiker.

    What does it mean to live faithfully in an unfinished universe - one in which creation is still evolving and Christ is still drawing all things toward communion?In today's episode, Matt sits down with Dr. Ilia Delio, Franciscan sister, theologian, Josephine C. Connelly Endowed Chair in Theology at Villanova University, founder of the Center for Christogenesis, and author of more than twenty books, including "The Christian Mutation".Drawing from the work of Bonaventure, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Carl Jung, and modern physics, Dr. Delio explores what Christianity might look like if we took evolution, science, and the deeply relational nature of the universe seriously.Together, Matt and Dr. Delio discuss moving from original sin toward original love, why relationship may be at the very foundation of reality, and what it means to understand sin as a resistance to relationship. They also explore the decline of institutional religion, the questions younger generations are asking, artificial intelligence, the problem of evil, and whether Christianity itself must continue to evolve.At the center of the conversation is a provocative possibility: What if love isn't simply something we feel or something Christianity teaches, but something woven into the very fabric of existence? And if the universe is still becoming, what would it mean for the church to become with it?In this episode:- Teilhard de Chardin and the relationship between science and faith- Bonaventure, Thomas Aquinas, and two ways of understanding Christianity- Original sin versus original love- Physics, interconnectedness, and the relational nature of reality- Sin as a resistance to relationship- Why younger generations are leaving institutional religion- Whether Christianity is answering questions people are no longer asking- Artificial intelligence and the future of humanity- Love, evil, and human transformation- What the church might become if it took evolution seriously- Whether love can endure even if the universe itself eventually diesLearn more about Dr. Ilia Delio: https://wisrinstitute.org/about/ilia-delio/

    Latent Space: The AI Engineer Podcast — CodeGen, Agents, Computer Vision, Data Science, AI UX and all things Software 3.0

    A few years ago, Caltech Prof. and co-founder of Accelerated Understanding, Anima Anandkumar set out to develop the first open-source weather model with AI. Talking to experts in the field, she was met with skepticism. Weather is chaotic, physics simulations are hard, have been developed for decades, and require supercomputers, the data just isn't there. Despite reservations, Anima went forth and built. Within a year her team had developed FourCastNet, a predictive model that is competitive with the best physics-based simulations available. Thanks to Anima, and her follow up work, anyone can now predict weather accurately over a short timescale using consumer grade GPUs. In the fifteen or so science episodes we've released on Latent.Space, we've covered atoms, molecules, materials, biology, and math. Anima is a pioneer in studying physical systems that are continuous. Weather, fusion, and fluid or heat flow are huge areas of science that are extremely difficult to model: they are large, chaotic, and fundamentally multi-scale. This is a field the AI community has somewhat neglected, but one we expect will grow fast. We plan to cover large physical systems more in coming episodes.One thing you can glean from Anima's work is that this area of AI resists the scaling ideas that have permeated the rest of the field. The data isn't there: open source datasets in many of these domains are limited to tens or hundreds of thousands of examples, far from what token-hungry transformers need. Even worse, the resolution that physics demands pushes the context length into the hundreds of billions, so you can't just throw more tokens at the problem. That isn't a ceiling though, just a slower road: progress here comes from building in structure and inductive biases. Sorry for all you bitter-lesson-pilled language modelers.“If each dimension is even a few hundred grid points, which is where industrial scale starts... we're talking hundreds of billions to even a trillion context length. So forget ever having a transformer for anything of this scale, all of the world's compute will not be enough.”The math underneathTo tackle these systems, Anima pioneered a technique known as Neural Operators, one of the most beautiful theoretical developments in AI of the last decade. These allow you to combine data and physical laws to enable multi-scale inputs and outputs. We're no longer modeling a grid, we're modeling a function that evolves over many scales. This allows Anima and crew to build in priors based upon physical intuition.To see how physical priors are still helpful for AI modeling, let's revisit the problem of weather forecasting on a global scale. The earth is a sphere, which meant that accurate modeling involved using the right basis set — the Spherical Harmonics. Run a weather model on a grid and it blows up fast. Move to the natural basis for the problem and it stays stable far longer, long enough to roll out months ahead instead of days. Anima's Fourier Neural Operator learns directly in this frequency domain, and its spherical variant powers FourCastNet 3, which models the weather across the whole globe and keeps running stably far into the future.The physical world is forgivingAnima explored Neural Operators across other physical domains too, and one striking observation is that the physical world is more forgiving than you'd expect. In fusion, a few thousand samples are enough to predict plasma disruptions, and to do it a million times faster than traditional simulation.None of this is a rejection of scale, it is a different route to it. Anima ultimately still wants to build a “foundation model for physics”, a model that spans many phenomena and does both simulation and design. You get there by building in the structure the physical world already has, not by waiting for data that will never exist. It is a start, and it will take longer than the token-driven parts of AI, because for the physical world tokens were never the answer.“All of the things that work with deep learning, let's take them, but make them a bit more principled.”Weather is only the beginningNeural operators and weather modeling were a personal passion of mine, so we've spent much of this blog and the episode exploring this work. Anima has done so much more! In the episode, we cover several other recent developments from Anima:* Anima has a series of works integrating neural networks and automated proof techniques. We talk about TorchLean, a new framework that lets you write PyTorch-style networks inside the proof assistant Lean and formally verify them. This is a major step for proving bounds on neural networks, something that would be really important for someone trying to, e.g., add a neural network as part of the control loop to their fusion reactor!* Anima was recently appointed to the United Nations Scientific Advisory Board! We talk with her about her goals of bringing evidence-based viewpoints to policy, and how AI in scientific domains can improve people's lives all over the world.This episode has something for every AI or science nerd!

    In this short podcast episode, Bryan and Roman Baugh talk about indoor air quality and microbial control, specifically MERV 15 filter physics and how it all works when bringing in outdoor air. We filter indoor air to keep dust and particles off the equipment and keep them from circulating through the air. However, we also need to filter fresh air. While indoor air has several pollutants, including dust and VOCs, that make outdoor air dilution a sensible solution, outdoor air also has spores and other pollutants we want to filter out, and its quality can be hard to evaluate. Roman had an ERV that fed his VRF system, and it had significant microbial growth inside; he had some MERV 6 filtration on it, but that didn't capture particles effectively enough. MERV ratings measure the ability to filter particles out, and we use a unit called microns to measure particle size; higher ratings indicate a greater filter surface area and a better ability to filter out smaller particles. ASHRAE 52.2 divides particles into three categories: E1 (ultra-fine particles between 0.3 and 1 micron in diameter), E2 (fine particles between 1 and 3 microns), and E3 (coarse particles between 3 and 10 microns in diameter). MERV 15 filters have a 90% capture rate of E2 particles and a 90%+ capture rate of E3 particles. Fungal spores tend to fall in the E2 or E3 category, and filtration can keep those from coming into the home with fresh air; bringing in fresh air to dilute indoor pollutants is good, but we need a nuanced approach, and good filtration (without bypass) is part of that equation. Filters can also capture much smaller particles due to the way those particles move. Smaller particles move via Brownian motion, which makes them move erratically and more likely to collide with filter media. However, filter use and design, as well as fresh air intake location, can also affect filter efficacy. Filters that don't fit well in the slot enable bypass, and some filters might be restrictive. Exhaust ventilation outlets also play a role, as wind can bring those pollutants back to fresh air intakes.   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

    The same mathematics that explains why a fridge magnet sticks to your refrigerator also explains why neural networks work when they have no right to. His group did the calculation. Nobody else had. Subscribe if you want science with evidence, not speculation. Goldenfeld is a Professor of Physics at UC San Diego, a Fellow of the Royal Society, and a Member of the National Academy of Sciences who spent 36 years at the University of Illinois applying condensed matter physics to problems everyone else had given up on: why the genetic code is optimal, why early life evolved impossibly fast, and why AI works despite being overparameterized beyond anything classical statistics can explain. The thread connecting all three is one idea: that what emerges from many things together is qualitatively different from the sum of its parts. That idea explains magnetism, AI, the origin of the genetic code, and why life may be inevitable wherever the laws of physics apply. He also argues that what is happening to science right now is not a disagreement about facts but a fracture in how people decide what is true, and that is a more dangerous problem. What you'll hear: -Why the same phase transition that explains magnetism also explains why AI works at all -Why Francis Crick concluded life must have come from outer space and what Goldenfeld found instead -What horizontal gene transfer has to do with how libraries work -Why Goldenfeld thinks Enceladus is a better bet for life than Europa -The purpose of life, stated as a thermodynamics problem -Why “different is more” is more useful than “more is different” “The impact you make is the ratio of what you do divided by what everybody else does.

    The conventional wisdom in AI is that the next breakthrough will come from more compute, more data, and larger models. But what if the next leap comes from somewhere else? In this episode, Max Welling—co-founder and CTO of CuspAI and professor at the University of Amsterdam—argues that physics may provide some of the ideas behind the next generation of AI systems. We begin with CuspAI's work using generative AI to design entirely new materials for semiconductors, batteries, carbon capture, and clean energy. Max explains how foundation models for chemistry, agentic workflows, simulation, and automated experimentation are dramatically accelerating the search for new materials and reshaping scientific discovery. The conversation then broadens into a deeper question. Beyond giving AI new scientific problems to solve, can physics also teach us how to build better AI? Max explores surprising connections between machine learning and thermodynamics, why waves may become a new computational primitive for neural networks, and how concepts like symmetry breaking and statistical physics could inspire AI architectures beyond today's scaling paradigm.

She is author of The Transactional Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics: The Reality of Possibility, Understanding Our Unseen Reality: Solving Quantum Riddles, and Adventures in Quantumland: Exploring Our Unseen Reality. In this video, rebooted from 2021, she contrasts the "eternalist" view of physics, as expressed in the idea of a "block universe" based on Einstein's theory of relativity, with a "dynamical" view as expressed in the transactional interpretation of quantum mechanics. These interpretations of the physical universe both allow some form of human postmortem survival – although they appear to be quite different from each other.

    When you think of physics, your mind might go to forces—like gravity, friction, and magnetism—or to astrophysics, like galaxies and exoplanets. But many of the same principles used to understand how the universe works can also be used to study Earth's climate systems. At its core, climate change is a physics problem. But traditionally, research institutions have kept climate science and physics separate. Morgan O'Neill has spent her career with one foot in the classical physics world and the other in climate change research. Now she's on a mission to invite more traditional physicists into the field of climate science. She speaks with Ira about the overlaps between the two fields and why more physicists should join in on climate research. Guest: Dr. Morgan O'Neill is an assistant professor at the University of Toronto and chair of the American Physical Society's group on the physics of climate.
