In this Worldviews episode, Jim talks with Iain McGilchrist about consciousness, matter, and the nature of reality. They discuss consciousness as the basis of everything we know, matter as a phase of consciousness that provides resistance and persistence, pan-experientialism and the belief that everything in the cosmos experiences in some form, the whirlpool metaphor for individual consciousness within a broader field, emergent naturalism and nested levels of organization, the question of whether the universe is continuous or granular at the Planck scale, consciousness in animals including chimps and corvids, language as the principal difference between human and animal consciousness, John Vervaeke's distinction between propositional and participatory knowing, the divided brain and how the left and right hemispheres attend to the world differently, the left hemisphere's focus on decontextualized abstractions versus the right hemisphere's grasp of interconnected wholes, how the left hemisphere deals with representations while the right hemisphere experiences presences, living in a world dominated by the relatively stupid left hemisphere, the relationship between consciousness and reality as an encounter rather than naive realism or idealism, relations coming before things, Lee Smolin's argument that time cannot be an illusion, assembly theory's challenge to the block universe, values as ontological primitives that cannot be derived from a valueless cosmos, the distinction between value and values, teleology as a lure rather than determinism using Waddington's creodes metaphor, the three elements of a fulfilled life (belonging to a coherent social group, belonging in nature, and belonging in the cosmos), the breakdown of collective sense making despite increased education levels, the decline in the caliber of political leaders, the distinction between information and wisdom, and much more.

La constante de Hubble devait être un simple chiffre. Une valeur stable, claire, qui décrirait l'expansion de l'univers. Et pourtant, derrière ce nombre apparemment anodin se cache aujourd'hui l'une des plus grandes énigmes de la cosmologie moderne. Deux méthodes, deux mesures, deux réponses. Et un désaccord qui persiste malgré les télescopes les plus puissants et les calculs les plus rigoureux.Dans cette vidéo, on remonte aux origines mêmes de cette constante, de la loi de Hubble aux outils modernes comme Gaia, James Webb ou encore Planck. On explore comment les astronomes mesurent l'expansion de l'univers, ce que signifie vraiment "mesurer le cosmos", et pourquoi les valeurs trouvées ne coïncident plus. 67 d'un côté, 73 de l'autre. Une divergence minuscule en apparence, mais immense dans ses conséquences.Est-ce une erreur de mesure ? Un biais invisible ? Ou bien le signe que quelque chose cloche dans notre compréhension même du réel ? Peut-être une nouvelle physique, une énergie inconnue, ou une faille dans le modèle standard du Big Bang ? Ce que révèle la tension de Hubble dépasse les chiffres : c'est une faille dans notre carte de l'univers. Et peut-être, une porte vers un tout nouveau chapitre.
Jeff Booth, Jack, and Nick explore a year-long paper linking Bitcoin to fundamental physics, framing Bitcoin blocks as discrete, quantized units of time.

Could ancient Romans really talk to the dead—and did they build a device to help them do it? In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro tumble headfirst into one of archaeology's strangest unsolved mysteries: the Roman dodecahedron. These small bronze objects—covered in holes, studded with knobs, and found almost exclusively in frontier regions of the Roman Empire—have baffled historians for centuries. No instructions. No records. No explanation. Just geometry… and silence. We explore a growing theory that these objects weren't tools or toys at all, but ritual devices used for necromancy. Drawing from documented Roman practices—curse tablets, grave rituals, offerings to the dead—we examine how light, fire, human remains, and sacred geometry may have combined to create controlled states of altered perception. Not summoning ghosts exactly… but thinning the veil just enough. From Plato's cosmic geometry to the eerie absence of these artifacts in Rome itself, the clues point toward forbidden practices quietly carried out on the edges of empire—where Roman order collided with older Celtic beliefs about the dead being nearby, accessible, and occasionally helpful. Along the way, the episode drifts (as it always does) into unexpected territory: midnight peanut-butter trauma, the strange comfort of reincarnated pets, and a surprisingly deep dive into how humans have measured time—from candle clocks and cow milkings to Planck time and absurdly large cosmic units. Because when you start talking about death, you inevitably end up talking about time… and how little of it we feel we have. It's a conversation about ancient fears, forbidden knowledge, and the unsettling possibility that some things were never written down because they worked just well enough to scare people into silence. Fly your freak flag proudly—and maybe don't peer too deeply into glowing bronze objects near a grave. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We also discuss a serious medical issue that has forced one of the crews aboard the International Space Station to return home early, and learn about the remarkable discovery that galaxies spin like clockwork.Dark Matter and Neutrinos: A Possible InteractionScientists are challenging the long-standing standard model of particle physics with new findings indicating that dark matter and neutrinos may interact. This groundbreaking research, reported in Nature Astronomy, provides a rare glimpse into the universe's hidden components. By analyzing data from both the early and late universe, researchers suggest that these elusive cosmic entities could influence the formation of galaxies and other structures, potentially addressing discrepancies observed in cosmological measurements.Medical Emergency Forces ISS Crew to Return EarlyNASA's SpaceX Crew 11 is returning to Earth ahead of schedule due to a medical concern involving one of the astronauts. While the situation is stable and not classified as an emergency, the decision was made to ensure the crew member receives comprehensive medical evaluation on the ground. This marks a historic moment, as it is the first time in 26 years of ISS operations that a medical issue has necessitated an early return.Galaxies Spin Like ClockworkRecent studies have confirmed that galaxies rotate approximately once every billion years, regardless of their size. This research, published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, reveals a consistent rotational pattern across different types of galaxies, enhancing our understanding of their mechanics and structure. The findings indicate that older stars exist even at the edges of galaxies, providing valuable insights into galactic formation and evolution.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesNature AstronomyMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical SocietyBritish Medical JournalBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.
Materia oscura y neutrinos podrían interactuar y cambiar el modelo actual del universo, según nuevos estudios cosmológicosPor Félix Riaño @LocutorCoHoy vamos a hablar de una idea que puede cambiar cómo entendemos el universo. Científicos están encontrando señales de que la materia oscura, esa sustancia invisible que sostiene a las galaxias, podría estar interactuando con los neutrinos, partículas diminutas que atraviesan todo sin detenerse. Esta posible relación aparece al comparar datos del universo temprano con observaciones actuales. Si se confirma, el modelo cosmológico que usamos desde hace décadas quedaría incompleto. Y cuando eso pasa, la ciencia avanza. La pregunta es sencilla: ¿y si dos de los grandes misterios del cosmos llevan miles de millones de años influyéndose entre sí?El modelo funciona… hasta que el universo no obedece.Empecemos por entender a los protagonistas. Los neutrinos son partículas extremadamente pequeñas, con muy poca masa, que viajan por el universo casi a la velocidad de la luz. Cada segundo, alrededor de cien billones de neutrinos atraviesan tu cuerpo sin que lo notes. No se quedan, no chocan, siguen su camino.La materia oscura es aún más extraña. Representa cerca del ochenta y cinco por ciento de toda la materia del universo. No emite luz, no la refleja y no puede verse con telescopios. Sabemos que existe porque su gravedad mantiene unidas a las galaxias y controla cómo se mueven.Durante mucho tiempo, los científicos asumieron que neutrinos y materia oscura no interactúan entre sí. Esa idea es parte del modelo cosmológico estándar, conocido como Lambda-CDM, que explica cómo nació y evolucionó el universo.El problema aparece cuando se comparan dos momentos del cosmos. Por un lado, el universo joven, observado a través del Fondo Cósmico de Microondas, una especie de eco térmico del Big Bang. Por otro, el universo actual, medido con mapas detallados de galaxias y lentes gravitacionales.Las matemáticas dicen que las estructuras del universo deberían haberse agrupado más con el paso del tiempo. Galaxias más juntas, regiones más densas. Pero cuando se observa el presente, la materia está un poco menos agrupada de lo esperado.Esta diferencia se conoce como la tensión S8. No es un error enorme, pero tampoco desaparece. Lleva años inquietando a los cosmólogos. Un equipo de la Universidad de Sheffield propone una explicación: una interacción muy leve entre neutrinos y materia oscura, suficiente para frenar el crecimiento de las grandes estructuras cósmicas.La idea surge al combinar muchas observaciones distintas. Datos recogidos por la Dark Energy Camera del telescopio Víctor M. Blanco en Chile, mapas de galaxias del Sloan Digital Sky Survey y mediciones del universo temprano realizadas por el Atacama Cosmology Telescope y la misión Planck de la Agencia Espacial Europea.Al unir toda esta información, los investigadores vieron que un modelo donde neutrinos y materia oscura intercambian una pequeña cantidad de impulso encaja mejor con lo que vemos hoy. No estamos ante una prueba definitiva. La señal estadística es prometedora, pero necesita más confirmaciones.Los próximos pasos incluyen observaciones más precisas del Fondo Cósmico de Microondas y estudios detallados de lente gravitacional. Si los resultados se repiten, los físicos van a tener nuevas pistas para buscar la naturaleza real de la materia oscura también en laboratorios terrestres.Este estudio no aparece de la nada. Durante más de dos décadas, científicos han explorado la posibilidad de que la materia oscura interactúe con otras partículas. Existen muchos trabajos previos que analizan cómo estas interacciones afectarían la formación de galaxias, la radiación del Big Bang y la distribución de materia en el cosmos.Los neutrinos ya han obligado antes a revisar los modelos. Durante años se pensó que no tenían masa. Hoy sabemos que sí la tienen, aunque sea mínima. Ese descubrimiento ya llevó a extender el modelo estándar de partículas.En los próximos años, telescopios como el Observatorio Vera Rubin van a medir el universo con un nivel de detalle nunca visto. Esos datos permitirán comprobar si esta interacción es real o si estamos frente a una coincidencia estadística. En ciencia, las ideas sobreviven cuando resisten nuevas mediciones.Nuevas observaciones sugieren que materia oscura y neutrinos podrían interactuar, ayudando a explicar una tensión cosmológica persistente. Si se confirma, el modelo actual del universo necesitará ajustes. Queremos saber qué piensas.

Was ist Zeit eigentlich – und warum ist sie so viel komplizierter, als jede Uhr vermuten lässt? In dieser Folge von Gemeinsam durch die Galaxis machen sich unsere Himmelsspaziergänger Susanne und Paul auf einen gedanklichen Streifzug durch eines der rätselhaftesten Konzepte der Physik.Vom alltäglichen Ticken der Sekunden bis zur Frage, ob es eine kleinste Zeiteinheit gibt, geht es mitten hinein in philosophische Grübeleien, antike Paradoxien und moderne Physik. Dabei begegnen uns Augustinus, Einstein und die Planck-Zeit ebenso wie die verblüffende Erkenntnis, dass Zeit je nach Bewegung und Schwerkraft unterschiedlich vergeht – ganz praktisch spürbar übrigens auch im Navigationssystem des eigenen Smartphones.Warum können Uhren im All anders laufen? Was bedeutet Gleichzeitigkeit, wenn Licht endlich schnell ist? Und weshalb kann ein Stern längst explodiert sein, während wir ihn noch ruhig am Himmel funkeln sehen? Unsere Himmelsspaziergänger erklären, warum Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft keine festen Größen sind – und weshalb der Zeitpfeil trotzdem nur in eine Richtung zeigt.In „Hinter der Schlagzeile“ führt der Weg schließlich zurück in die Frühzeit unseres Sonnensystems: Neue Analysen legen nahe, dass der Protoplanet Theia, durch dessen Einschlag unser Mond entstand, der jungen Erde näher war als bisher angenommen – ein weiteres Puzzlestück in der langen Geschichte kosmischer Kollisionen und Zufälle.Eine Folge voller Gedankenexperimente, überraschender Alltagsbezüge und großer Fragen, bei denen man unweigerlich ins Staunen gerät. Also: Zeit nehmen, Kopfhörer aufsetzen – und gemeinsam mit Susanne und Paul weiter durch die Galaxis spazieren.

The Space Show present Brian Clegg, author of “The Multiverse When One Universe Isn't Enough” on Friday, Dec. 5, 2025Short summaryOur discussion featured Brian Clegg, a UK science author, who talked his book “The Multiverse: When One Universe Isn't Enough.” The conversation explored various scientific theories about multiple universes, including inflationary cosmology, string theory, and the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, while acknowledging that these concepts remain largely speculative and not yet supported by strong scientific evidence. The discussion concluded with Brian sharing insights about writing science for general audiences and exploring the philosophical implications of multiverse theories, including their connection to spiritual perspectives and the challenges of communicating between different universes.Detailed SummaryI introduced the participants, including John Jossy, Dr. Sherry Bell, and Brian, who was joining from Wiltshire, England. Others from The Space Show Wisdom Team joined during the discussion.I introduced Brian Clegg, a well-known UK science author, to discuss his book “The Multiverse: When One Universe Isn't Enough.” Brian explained that the multiverse theory suggests the existence of multiple universes beyond our own, though he noted that this concept is still largely speculative and not yet widely accepted in mainstream science. The discussion touched on recent developments in physics, including Professor Tutani's work at the University of Tokyo on dark matter, which Brian expressed skepticism about without further confirmation. I also provided updates on the show's upcoming programs and encouraged listeners to support the show through donations and subscriptions.Brian discussed the concept of a multiverse, explaining that it extends beyond the traditional universe and is influenced by both scientific and fictional perspectives. He explored various scientific theories, including multiple universes resulting from more than one big bang or additional dimensions, and addressed the fine-tuning problem, which suggests that a multiverse could explain the existence of life in our universe. Brian noted that while some cosmologists and physicists support the idea of a multiverse, it remains largely philosophical and unproven, with no current scientific method to confirm its existence.We discussed various theories about the multiverse, including the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics and the concept of bubble universes expanding in a higher-dimensional space. Brian explained that while inflation is well-accepted in our universe, other universes could be based on different inflation models. Marshall raised questions about the 11 dimensions in string theory and their potential connection to other universes and gravity. Brian noted that while the Ekpyrotic Universe theory offers an interesting picture, there are still many gaps in the physics that need to be sorted out. He concluded that while the multiverse concept is intriguing, it remains largely speculative and not yet supported by strong scientific evidence.David and Brian discussed the concept of a multiverse, exploring its origins and the evolution of ideas about the universe over time. Brian explained that ancient civilizations, like the Greeks, had a limited view of the universe, constrained to the solar system, and lacked the scientific basis to conceptualize a larger universe. The invention of the telescope expanded their understanding, revealing a much larger scale with more stars and galaxies. Brian noted that modern multiverse theories, such as the many-worlds hypothesis and inflationary cosmology, emerged in the 20th century, often driven by philosophical and fictional influences. He also criticized the use of statistics in some multiverse theories, arguing that they do not provide a sound basis for concluding the existence of other universes.The Space Show Wisdom Team discussed the concept of fine-tuning in the universe, with David questioning how finely tuned properties could exist alongside random creation. Brian shared insights from physicist Fred Hoyle, who believed in some form of organization outside the universe, while John explained the anthropic principle, which suggests that the universe must have certain properties for conscious beings like humans to exist. Marshall inquired about the interrelation of physical constants, but Brian stated that no general theory unifying all constants into one basic constant like Planck's has been developed. Brian also clarified the distinction between the weak and strong anthropic principles, noting that while the weak principle is widely accepted, the strong principle faces challenges due to the lack of evidence for other universes and the misuse of statistics.Brian discussed his approach to writing about complex scientific concepts like the multiverse, emphasizing the importance of providing an overview and presenting different theories without getting overwhelmed by details. He highlighted the tendency of media headlines to overhype scientific ideas, using examples like the quantum multiverse and Google's analogy, and noted that scientists themselves often do not make such grand claims. Brian also explained the concept of colliding universes based on M-theory, where each universe is a multidimensional brane floating in a wider space, and discussed how gravity's weakness could be explained by these universes colliding.The Wisdom Team discussed the concept of multiple universes and how people might connect with the idea through spiritual or religious perspectives. Brian noted that the concept of parallel dimensions became popular in the late 19th century with the rise of spiritualism. John Hunt and David explored the possibility of extraterrestrials coming from other universes, but John emphasized that this is more science fiction than science. The discussion also touched on the challenges of communicating between different universes and the potential for time travel to create new realities.We continued focusing on multiverse theories and their implications, with Brian explaining that different bubble universes don't overlap because space itself is expanding rather than universes expanding into each other. He explored concepts of infinity and time with us, with Marshall and Brian discussing mathematical perspectives on infinity and Brian noting that while time travel is technically possible according to relativity, practical backward time travel remains unlikely. The conversation concluded with Brian discussing his upcoming biography of the electron and his approach to writing science for general audiences, noting that while multiverse theories remain speculative, they continue to be an interesting area for scientific and philosophical exploration.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223 (Not in service at this time)For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.com for instructions and access.The Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

The limits of material analysis end long before the limits of the Absolute. In this landmark episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore Lord Brahma's profound realization in the Tenth Canto of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam—where even the universe's greatest intellect confronts the impossibility of measuring Krishna's limitless nature. Weaving insights from contemporary voices like Alex O'Connor, Dawkins, Hawking, Planck, and Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, they reflect on why science can dissect the universe yet still miss the Person behind it, how pride blinds us to the divine, and how humility, devotion, and sincere acceptance of life's challenges reveal the immeasurable beauty of Bhakti. ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?

Space: the final frontier, a deep dark realm full of questions and mysteries - many of which science can't yet satisfactorily answer. But that won't stop the Curious Cases team!In a special edition recorded in front of an audience at the BBC Radio Theatre in London, Hannah Fry and Dara Ó Briain team up with a panel of guests who know their way around the universe: presenters from the world's longest running science TV show, The Sky At Night.With the intergalactic expertise of George Dransfield, Chris Lintott and Maggie Aderin-Pocock, Hannah and Dara tackle a slew of space-related questions put forward by the listeners - exploring topics ranging from the sound of stars and the shape of the universe, to the search for alien life. To submit your question to the Curious Cases team, please email: curiouscases@bbc.co.ukSPACE AUDIO CLIPS:- Maggie's Choice: In 2005, the European Space Agency's Huygens probe descended to the surface of Saturn's moon Titan. Microphones aboard Huygens recorded the sounds of descent and landing, then The Planetary Society and scientists at the University of California helped ESA process the audio.

For the last century, physics has been treading along the paths set by the same two theories--quantum theory and general relativity--and, let's face it, it's getting pretty boring. Most scientists are simply chasing decimal points in laboratories, unable to explore the theories at large scales, where serious discrepancies could emerge. The situation is a lot like the one physics was in in 1890, right before Planck, Einstein, and Bohr blew the roof off Newtonian physics. As Vlatko Vedral argues in Portals to a New Reality: Five Pathways to the Future of Physics (Basic Books, 2025), that means we are on the brink of a revolution. Vedral shows how quantum information theory has opened radically new avenues for experiments that could upend physics. They can sound very strange--one essentially involves entangling a human with Schrödinger's cat--but they lay bare elements of our theories that are particularly problematic, such as the widespread belief that nothing truly exists unless it is observed. At present these experiments are thought experiments, albeit fascinating ones. But nothing, save inertia and a lack of ambition, stands in our way.

Already within the Standard Model, we expect that the fundamental scale of gravity, the scale where gravity becomes strong, is slightly lower than the Planck scale. Theories with extra dimensions or with many additional particle species enhance this effect and are motivated by giving a unified solution to the Hierarchy problem, Dark Matter, and neutrino masses. In this talk, we will discuss their phenomenology in low-energy experiments, their unique astrophysical signatures, and present recent experimental results.
Los Premios Nobel se entregan cada año en Estocolmo, excepto el de la Paz que se entrega en Oslo, para reconocer a personas o instituciones que hayan llevado a cabo investigaciones, descubrimientos o contribuciones notables a la humanidad. El Premio Nobel de Medicina ha sido para Mary Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell y Shimon Sakaguchi. El Instituto Karolinska de Estocolmo reconoce a los galardonados por descubrir las células T reguladoras, que evitan que las células inmunes ataquen nuestro propio cuerpo. Realmente, Sakaguchi fue el primer en describir el funcionamiento de esas células en 1995 y Brunkow y Ramsdell las han aplicado en la investigación de enfermedades autoinmunes. De ese avance nos habla Antonio José Ruíz Alcaraz, profesor de Inmunología de la Universidad de Murcia e investigador del Instituto Murciano de Investigación Biosanitaria.Por otra parte, el premio de Física ha recaído en John Clark, de la Universidad de California; Michel H. Devoret, de la Universidad de Yale y la Universidad de California; y John M. Martinis, de la Universidad de California, "por el descubrimiento de la tunelización mecánica cuántica macroscópica y la cuantificación de la energía en un circuito eléctrico". Los investigadores han realizado experimentos que muestran que el efecto túnel, un fenómeno conocido en el mundo de la física a nivel microscópico, pero no a nivel macroscópico. Precisamente Javier Cerrillo, profesor de la Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena, ha colaborado con Devoret. También tratamos la posibilidad de la comercialización de ordenadores cuánticos y sus dificultades con Ana María Cetto, investigadora del Instituto Física de la Universidad Autónoma de México y miembro de la Academia de Física de México.Además, este año el Premio de Química ha recaído en Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson y Omar M. Yaghi por el desarrollo de estructuras metalorgánicas. Han creado amplios espacios por los que pueden fluir gases y otras sustancias químicas. La Academia Sueca de las Ciencias ha destacado que los ganadores han desarrollado una "nueva arquitectura molecular". Estas estructuras metalorgánicas pueden utilizarse para extraer agua del aire del desierto, capturar dióxido de carbono, almacenar gases tóxicos o catalizar reacciones químicas. De este premio hablamos con José Berná, profesor de Química de la Universidad de Murcia que investiga en esta materia.Por otra parte, recordamos a George Smoot, Premio Nobel de Física de 2006, junto a John Mather, por el estudio de la radiación de fondo de microondas mediante el satélite artificial COBE demostrando que poco después del Big Bang existían en el Universo irregularidades que fueron las semillas de la posterior formación de las galaxias. Además, ha participado en las misiones Planck y Euclid. George Smoot visitó Murcia dos años después de recibir el Nobel, en 2008, para inaugurar sus Jornadas de Astronomía y Astrofísica. En un contacto previo con los medios de comunicación estuvo Elvira Sánchez, que realizó este reportaje para el programa Microciencia, que se emitía en Onda Regional. También hablamos de esa visita y su legado con Antonio Guirao, profesor de Física de la Universidad de Murcia.
Anna Gregorio è un'imprenditrice e docente dell'Università di Trieste, che coordina missioni spaziali per l'Agenzia Spaziale Europea e, contemporaneamente, ha fondato un'azienda oggi riconosciuta come PMI innovativa dell'anno. La sua storia intreccia scienza, determinazione e la capacità di affrontare sfide straordinarie, spesso senza ricevere il riconoscimento che meritava.Nata e cresciuta a Trieste in una famiglia economicamente stabile, Anna sogna l'indipendenza economica ma ha il mandato di studiare: «Avrei voluto fare qualche attività per essere indipendente, però mi era praticamente vietato, perché dovevo studiare: prima l'università, poi il dottorato, ed è chiaro che è difficile essere indipendenti con la borsa di dottorato».La svolta della sua carriera scientifica arriva con la missione Planck dell'Agenzia Spaziale Europea, in cui le viene dato un ruolo di primo piano. Un'esperienza intensa e globale che le permette di acquisire competenze uniche e riconoscimenti internazionali. Tuttavia, al rientro in Italia, il meritato riconoscimento economico e professionale non arriva: «Sono passati tutti i miei colleghi davanti a me, io proprio in coda ultima». È una delusione che la segna profondamente, ma non la ferma.Da questa frustrazione nasce la decisione di fondare un'azienda nel settore spaziale. Determinata a riconoscersi da sola il merito che l'accademia non le dava, affronta anni iniziali durissimi, ma la sua esperienza e reputazione aprono porte importanti. Dopo la pandemia arrivano i primi finanziamenti, e nel 2021 l'azienda conquista il primo cliente commerciale in Europa, fino ad arrivare a lanciare tre sistemi in orbita, incluso un satellite per il 5G nel luglio 2025.Nonostante il successo imprenditoriale le abbia finalmente permesso di valorizzare il proprio lavoro, l'insoddisfazione in ambito accademico resta. Gestire un'azienda l'ha costretta a lavorare part-time all'università, ma il compromesso non si traduce in più tempo libero: «In realtà lavoro molto più dei miei colleghi e, nonostante questo, vengo pagata solo due terzi del loro stipendio». Una contraddizione che Anna affronta con pragmatismo, ma che racconta quanto spesso il riconoscimento formale non segua il vero valore del lavoro.Accanto a lei c'è suo marito, compagno di vita e di passioni, che la supporta nella gestione economica familiare. Insieme condividono l'amore per la vela e lo sci, e con lui, Anna ha imparato che il denaro non è solo un fine, ma uno strumento per coltivare i propri desideri fuori dalla sfera lavorativa.

Hoy, 29 de julio de 2025, se cumplen precisamente cien años de la publicación de un artículo científico que cambiaría la física para siempre. Los físicos sabían desde el año 1900 que algo extraño ocurría en el mundo microscópico: Planck descubrió, a su pesar, que la energía parecía emitirse de forma discontinua, en paquetes o "cuantos". Einstein, por su parte, se dio cuenta de que gracias a estos cuantos se podía entender el efecto fotoeléctrico. Bohr reveló que si la energía estaba "cuantizada" el átomo debía tener niveles, o "pisos", en los cuales había que ubicar a los electrones. En definitiva, se sabía desde el año 1900 que la física tenía que ser cuántica. Sin embargo, a pesar de tener muy claro que los cuantos formaban parte de la física, o al menos de la física microscópica, nadie había conseguido integrarlos en una teoría física totalmente consistente. Todos los modelos cuánticos partían de la física "de toda la vida" y se imponían los cuantos sobre ella de forma arbitraria, en el lugar y el momento en que resolvieran tal o cual problema. Esto cambió el 29 de julio del año 1925. Un joven físico llamado Werner Heisenberg abordó la cuestión de si era posible construir un modelo mecánico que fuese cuántico desde el minuto 1. Para ello necesitaba una definición de las magnitudes físicas fundamentales, como la posición y la velocidad, que tuviera integrados los cuantos. No valía imponerlos después para que los resultados cuadrasen. La posición y la velocidad también tenían que ser cuánticas. ¿Cómo conseguiría deshacer este nudo gordiano? En el programa de hoy conmemoramos el centenario de la mecánica cuántica contándoos esta historia. ¿Qué son los cuantos? ¿Por qué era problemático integrarlos dentro de la física? ¿Y cómo lo logró Heisenberg en su legendario artículo de 1925? En este programa os hablaremos mucho de la historia de la teoría cuántica. Si queréis ampliar lo que os contamos hoy, podéis aprender sobre la teoría de Einstein del efecto fotoeléctrico, de 1905, en el episodio s04e05 de Aparici en Órbita. También podéis aprender más sobre la teoría atómica de Bohr, de 1913, en nuestro pódcast hermano, La Brújula de la Ciencia: os la contamos en detalle en los capítulos s02e31, s02e32 y s02e33. Si queréis aprender sobre el trabajo más famoso de Heisenberg, el Principio de Indeterminación, lo podéis encontrar en el capítulo s10e22 de La Brújula de la Ciencia. Y si queréis aprender sobre aspectos más generales de la teoría, os recomiendo algunos capítulos introductorios que tenéis en La Brújula de la Ciencia: son el s11e47, s01e09, s01e29, s05e01 y s07e40. En Aparici en Órbita también tenemos algún episodio más general: buscad el s02e15 y el s05e03. Este programa se emitió originalmente el 29 de julio de 2025.

What if the Big Bang wasn't the beginning? What if our universe is just one in a vast cosmic ocean of universes, and we have the evidence to prove it? In this episode of Into the Impossible, I'm joined by theoretical physicist Laura Mersini-Houghton to explore one of the most provocative ideas in modern cosmology: the multiverse is not only real—it's testable. Mersini, author of Before the Big Bang, walks us through her bold predictions about the structure of the cosmos, including the mysterious cold spot in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) that she foresaw years before it was confirmed by the Planck satellite. Together, we dissect her groundbreaking theory that our universe began as one branch of a quantum wave function stretching across a multiverse landscape. We talk quantum decoherence, cosmic scars, and how entanglement with other universes could leave measurable fingerprints in our sky. We also debate criticisms from fellow physicists and dive into what these revelations mean for the future of dark energy and cosmological theory. — Key Takeaways: 00:00 What happened before the Big Bang? 01:56 The CMB cold spot prediction 05:16 Quantum entanglement and decoherence 11:31 Criticism and evidence for the multiverse 17:06 The wave function of the universe 20:48 The string landscape and constants of nature 23:54 The cold spot and the hemispherical anomaly 37:20 Thoughts on the recent DESI suggestions 40:46 Judging a book by its cover 47:31 The multiverse and religion 57:29 Outro — Additional resources: ➡️ Follow me on your fav platforms: ✖️ Twitter: https://twitter.com/DrBrianKeating

What if quantum mechanics is not fundamental? What if time itself is an illusion? In this new episode, physicist Julian Barbour returns to share his most radical ideas yet. He proposes that the universe is built purely from ratios, that time is not fundamental, and that quantum mechanics might be replaced entirely without the need for wave functions or Planck's constant. This may be the simplest vision of reality ever proposed. As a listener of TOE you can get a special 20% off discount to The Economist and all it has to offer!

Blazing guitarist from Planck talks about his early indoctrination into the jam scene in Virginia and how he continues to cultivate his own tone and voice.
Humanity balances between two paths: self-destruction or self-revelation. In this rebroadcast from a popular episode from April 2024, Christine Barrington describes this critical inflection point and argues that dreams awaken us to the realm of purpose and meaning, arguing that every one of us has much to contribute to the path of humanity. Christine begins with James Braid then outlines the complicated history of science and consciousness including how they got separated in the first place, culminating with the philosophy of positivism which is the belief nothing exists that cannot be verified. She notes in contrast that most of the giants of quantum theory were also mystics including Planck (mentioning his book Where Science is Going) and also Einstein, Schrödinger, Heisenberg, Bohr, and Pauli. On the thread of consciousness, she quotes Carl Jung and his work on the tension of the opposites and synchronicity, also Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ken Wilbur, and Joe Dispenza and the birth of neurophysiology and mindfulness. Christine brings it all together talking about Thomas Campbell and his book My Big TOE and his “theory of everything,” which argues that consciousness is the basis for everything and that we are here on this planet to learn and evolve that consciousness, one person at a time. She plays a quote of Campbell’s about how dreaming gives us information about our selves in that how we react in dreams is how we are. As we learn to be more living and present, then our dreams evolve too. Christine ends by sharing information about Thomas Campbell’s organization, the Center for the Unification of Science and Consciousness CUSAC.org.

Lise Meitner was the most important female physicist of the 20th century. She made fundamental discoveries on the atom, including, most famously, being the first to discover the idea of fission. This she did as she puzzled over experimental results generated by her colleague Otto Hahn. Hahn, but not Meitner, received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for this monumental discovery. More generally, Meitner overcame profound obstacles facing women in science to become a central figure in physics during its heyday as she worked with the likes of Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein to understand the atom, and hence the universe. With us to discuss the life and legacy of Lise Meitner is Marissa Moss. Marissa is the award-winning author and illustrator of over 70 books for children and young adults, including the book we discuss today, The Woman Who Split the Atom: The Life of Lise Meitner.
Humanity's understanding of the universe radically altered with the advent of quantum mechanics in the early 20th century. The theory of quantum mechanics describes how nature behaves at or below the scale of atoms, and the road to that theory was littered with seemingly insurmountable obstacles. With us to discuss the development of quantum mechanics, and the major schools of thought represented by Neils Bohr and Albert Einstein, is Jim Baggott. Today we discuss many of the key players in the development of quantum mechanics, including Bohr, Einstein, Wolfgang Pauli, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schrödinger, Max Planck, and Max Born.
In his second Sophia Lecture, Dr Iain McGilchrist gives a bracing, counterintuitive account of the fundamental categories of our experience of the world. McGilchrist shows how fundamental binaries—such as stasis and motion, simplicity and complexity, order and randomness, and even straight lines and curves—do not occur in nature in ways that conform to our assumptions about an inert, independent, and predictable universe. Drawing from disciplines as disparate as physics, mathematics, biology and art, McGilchrist shows that asymmetry is not simply a principle of vitality, harmony, and beauty. McGilchrist argues that asymmetry is primary, a reality that is prior to symmetry and which forms the basis of the very symmetries in nature and the arts to which it gives rise. The dynamism which results from the drive to balance and to resist balance is at the root of the vigor of natural systems, the beauty that they embody, and which the arts then reflect. With examples ranging from the elegance of the golden ratio to the structure of the human brain, McGilchrist's lecture offers a fresh perspective on the nature of patterns in complex systems and human creations. His work invites us to search for wholeness, harmony, and connection from a set of starting points which are as surprising as they are fruitful; as always, he challenges us to see our world in new—and newly unified—ways.

SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 156Superflares: A Century-Long Threat?A new study warns of the potential for our Sun to unleash superflares, with the threat estimated at once per century. These massive eruptions could engulf the Earth, challenging our understanding of solar behaviour. Evidence from other sun-like stars suggests that such violent solar events may be more common than previously thought, urging caution as we continue to study these phenomena.Binary Star Discovery Near Galactic CoreAstronomers have identified the first binary star system near Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy. This discovery, made using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope, offers new insights into how stars can survive in extreme gravitational environments. The findings could pave the way for detecting planets orbiting close to this massive black hole.NASA's Lucy Mission: Onward to JupiterNASA's Lucy spacecraft has completed its second close flyby of Earth, gaining a gravity assist to propel it towards Jupiter's Trojan asteroids. This manoeuvre is part of Lucy's 12-year mission to study these ancient celestial bodies, believed to be remnants from the early solar system. The spacecraft's journey promises to unlock new secrets about the formation of our planetary neighbourhood.00:00 This is Spacetime Series 27, episode 156 for broadcast on 27th December 202400:48 New observations suggest our sun may be far more violent than previously thought05:17 Astronomers detect binary star system near supermassive black hole08:49 NASA's Lucy spacecraft makes second close flyby of the Earth10:37 NASA's Lucy mission is heading to the Jupiter Trojans12:26 Sea ice levels in the ocean surrounding Antarctica reach new record lows in 202313:52 A new study claims drinking moderate amounts of wine can ward off heart disease15:05 There are headlines saying believing in Loch Ness monster makes you less stressedwww.spacetimewithstuartgary.comwww.bitesz.com

SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 155*Discovery of a New Class of Cosmic X-RayAstronomers have identified a new class of cosmic X-ray source, potentially originating from a novel type of nova event. The study, published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, reveals 29 unusual objects in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. These objects displayed unexpected behaviours, such as long-duration X-ray outbursts and recurring outbreaks. The findings suggest these sources, dubbed 'Milli Novae', could play a crucial role in understanding astrophysical phenomena, especially as they may contribute to the mass of white dwarfs, potentially leading to Type 1A supernovae.*Uncovering the Secrets of the CentaursUsing the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have begun studying centaurs, a unique family of comet-like asteroids orbiting between Jupiter and Neptune. The study of 2060 Chiron reveals surface chemistry unlike any other known centaur, with carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide ices, and methane gases in its coma. These findings provide new insights into the origins of our solar system, as centaurs have remained largely unchanged since its formation 4.6 billion years ago.*NASA's Plans for Commercial Space StationsWith the International Space Station set for retirement in 2030, NASA is supporting the development of multiple commercial space stations. Projects include the NASA-funded STAR Labs space station, slated for launch in 2028, and Axiom's modular space station, which will initially dock with the ISS. Other proposals, like Orbital Reef and Haven One, are also in development, promising to advance commercial space activities and research.00:00 Astronomers have identified a new class of cosmic X ray source04:44 2060 Chiron provides new clues about the origins of our solar system12:56 A number of proposals for commercial low Earth orbit space stations are growing17:46 Higher levels of air pollution associated with higher risk of hospitalisation, study finds19:31 Almost all artificial intelligence chatbots are showing symptoms of mild cognitive impairment20:47 Apple's AI summarisation feature sometimes gives incorrect summaries22:47 ChatGPT has made its search engines free24:17 Space Time is available every Monday, Wednesday and Friday through Apple Podcastswww.spacetimewithstuartgary.comwww.bitesz.com
Nassim Haramein was born in 1962 in Geneva, Switzerland. Haramein's father was a scholar at the University of Geneva completing a thesis under the guidance of the notable Jean Piaget, considered one of the fathers of child psychology. Although offered a position at the prestigious Piaget Institute, his father choose to accept a position at the child psychology department of the University of Montreal becoming the director of the orthopedagogy department. As a result, Nassim Haramein grew up in the Canadian environment and wilderness most of his childhood leading to an early successful career in the ski and mountaineering industry affording him a significant amount of time to observe and ponder the mechanics of the natural world. Starting in the early 1980's, Haramein developed a significant interest in sciences and philosophy, specifically in physics and the nature of the material world. This led him to a deep and dedicated self-study of both the foundation of general relativity and quantum theory. After some ten years of intensive study and exploration, Haramein started lecturing in various contexts both in Canada and the USA. This resulted in a first physics paper published in 2004 with co-author, prominent physicist, Dr. Elizabeth Rauscher "The Origin of Spin": a consideration of torque and Coriolis forces in Einstein's field equations and grand unification theory. Eventually Haramein published a seminal paper entitled “The Schwarzschild Proton” which described the proton as having equivalence energy and force structure to a mini-black hole due to quantum vacuum fluctuations. With the event of the holographic principle in physics, Haramein eventually published a series of papers describing the source of mass and the confining forces of subatomic particles being related to quantum vacuum fluctuations in a formalism dubbed the holographic mass solution. This peer-reviewed paper entitled “Quantum Gravity and the Holographic Mass”, published in 2013, employed a generalized holographic principle, relating the proton's charge radius and mass, and predicting a radius differing from the Standard Model by 4%. This proton radius was later validated through experiments at the Paul Scherrer Institute and is now the official CODATA value. From 2013 to present, Haramein publishes multiple papers addressing the nature of the electron and the so called missing mass issue in cosmology as well as a first paper on biophysics relating the structure of spacetime to the biological organizations of the brain entitled “The Unified Space Memory Network: from Cosmogenesis to Consciousness”. In September 2023, Haramein et al. pre-published a paper entitled “The Origin of Mass and Nature of Gravity” detailing the correlation functions related to the dynamic of the quantum vacuum and demonstrating that the mass and confining forces are the result of a screening mechanism of the density of the vacuum at the Planck scale. This initial paper is the first in a series that set the foundation for the unification of forces and physical constants which will follow.
