Party On, Dudes! Now that it's available all over the world, we felt we could finally talk about the third entry in the most excellent time travel trilogy, Bill & Ted Face the Music. We have an absolutely triumphant conversation with returning guests Rachel "Quirky" Schenk & Scott Thomas (both of Infinity Podcast fame), along with quantum physicist and science consultant for the film, Spiros Michalakis. We go deep on the nature of time itself, how traversing it works (both in the film and in our own reality), whether or not this third film breaks the rules the first two set up (spoiler: it doesn't), and much more!

Spiros is a great guy and absolutely brilliant! I heard him on my friend Gabby Reece's podcast and loved their conversation so I was thrilled he agreed to be on the show.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/quantum-physicist-behind-marvel-universe-spiros-michalakis/id1492179907?i=1000465808475Spiros is a mathematical physicist at Caltech's Institute of quantum information and matter (IQIM). His research focuses on the physical and mathematical mechanisms underlying the emergence of space–time. He manages IQIM's outreach program so is actively involved in teaching and interacting with the community.  He also consults with Hollywood on blockbuster films to ensure an accurate representation of quantum physics. For example Marvels ant man series, captain marvel and most recently bill and ted face the music. Earlier I mentioned brilliant….well in 1998 a list of 13 open problems in mathematical physics was created…Spiros and his post doc partner Hastings solved one of these problems which took 10 years before it was fully understood and recognized as solved.  Its the only problem fully solved on the list.http://web.math.princeton.edu/~aizenman/OpenProblems_MathPhys/9903.QHallCond.htmlhttps://www.caltech.edu/about/news/solved-caltech-researcher-helps-crack-decades-old-math-problem-83296https://www.forbes.com/sites/rachelcrowell/2018/08/31/researchers-solve-first-problem-from-mathematical-physics-wish-list/#23622d47bdb5We cover:-The master algorithm-Quantum entanglement-Why humans are infinite-Space and time-Empathy-The biggest illusion in our world-The most fundamental thing in our universe-What is the soul-Is a fate real-Black holes-The power of science-Why love is fundamental to humans Links:Instagramhttps://instagram.com/quantum_spiros?igshid=sevim2vv4gskTwitterhttps://twitter.com/quantum_spiros?lang=en

Would you call the same person to discuss empathy and then help advise you about the quantum realm for movies like The Avengers and Ant-man? You would if you knew my friend, Spiros Michalakis. He is almost too brilliant for me to talk too, and human enough to get us all to understand. Did you know light isn’t real? Don’t worry Spiros is kind enough to break it down for us all to understand! He also explains how Star Trek inspired his career in math and how he got involved in Hollywood movies. And for you science lovers - there is a bonus 20 minutes where Spiros dives deep on redefining the meaning of time. Enjoy!

In this week's episode, I discuss the process for solving impossible problems and the benefits of developing a "math mind" with mathematical physicist Dr. Spiros Michalakis. We also discuss his collaboration with Hollywood in creating the Quantum Realm for the Marvel Cinematic Universe superhero film Ant-Man. He has excellent advice for writers seeking to work with scientists on their story research, and you'll get to hear me model this type of creative collaboration at the end of the episode.

As an avid listener of the Mixed Mental Arts Podcast Spiros Michalakis quickly became one of my all-time favorite guests.  He and a researcher at Microsoft, solved one of the world's most challenging open problems in the field of mathematical physics. Our conversation has nothing to do with that and is simply a chance to hear from the man, not just the scientist.  A special thanks to my friend Hunter Maats for making it possible. Love in action is listening to understand, not to react.

What do Paul Rudd, Keanu Reeves, Venture Capital, and Stephen Hawking have in common? Dr. Spiros Michalakis. As one of the most sought after scientists of our time, he serves as a quantum physicist and manager of outreach at The Institute for Quantum Information and Matter at Caltech (IQMC). When not at Caltech or fulfilling his role as professor-in-residence at Relay Ventures, he spends a good majority of his time consulting with Hollywood's biggest filmmakers and talent in applying quantum design thinking and scientific accuracy to their stories. Films like ANT MAN, NOW YOU SEE ME, CAPTAIN MARVEL, DR. STRANGE and others have all been graced by his knowledge and expertise. Using a combination of science and entertainment as an educational tool, Spiros' personal mission is to disrupt business, creativity, innovation -- and the practice of science itself -- with an understanding of quantum theory. On this episode , Spiros discusses his life and his message, becoming a personal brand, and the time he got Stephen Hawking to play Quantum Chess against Paul Rudd. Recorded live at WeWork.co/crush

What’s up Fitness Peeps! Thanks for checking out my podcast. In today’s episode there’s a moment for gratitude, an inspiration from Quantum Physicist, Spiros Michalakis,  a “Tree” visualization and then 5 minutes of meditation Here are the inspiring words from Spiros Michalakis: We try to understand the world by reducing it to smaller and smaller pieces, but it’s a single object.  The whole thing, just a single object. Check out Spiros at: https://twitter.com/quantum_spiros?lang=en About Meditation for Fitness Peeps Podcast: If you’re saying to yourself, “What the heck is this podcast all about?”, here’s the quick version.  I’m into health and fitness and so are a lot of my friends.  I’m also into meditation, but most of my fitness friends aren’t, because they don’t know how to do it, or, they think it’s too hard.  Because of that, I put together a quick and easy meditation practice that can be done in approximately 10 minutes and it includes: a moment for gratitude, an inspiration, a visualization and 5 minutes of meditation using a soundtrack that contains a binaural beat or an isochronic tone.  I’ve made it super easy for you and my fitness friends to start meditating.  YOU’RE WELCOME! :)   By the way, I recommend that you use headphones while you listen to these meditations and NEVER LISTEN WHILE YOU’RE DRIVING If you want to know more about me, check out my website: http://www.philstolaronek.com If you want to check out my Zenabration meditation app: www.zenabration.com https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/zenabration/id1140890387?mt=8 Please follow me on Instagram @PhilStolaronek Intro / Outro Music:  “Blank” by Disfigure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7ZsBPK656s http://www.facebook.com/DisfigureOffi... http://www.soundcloud.com/disfigureof... http://www.youtube.com/user/Disfigure...

In an utterly pleasant surprise, Spiros Michalakis reached out to me and said he wanted to get lunch. Actually, he wanted to buy me lunch. The result was a three hour lunch conversation and a two-hour podcast during the course of which we covered everything from Spiros' own work trying to unify quantum field theory and general relativity to everything that has been going on with Mixed Mental Arts. In short, we compared notes on the many kinds of idea sex that we've been having. You don't get to hear what happened in that three-hour lunch which is probably fortunate. For one thing, Spiros talked about being Greek, moving to America and finding out it wasn't culturally appropriate to wear a speedo in public. You do get to hear what happened in the two-hour podcast where we have our own convo about what it means to be a scientist. It is an approach to life. You also get to hear about why we both feel so strongly about making ideas accessible. We both have gone between worlds. For Spiros, growing up in Greece and then moving to MIT, he was very clear that the difference between him and the other kids was largely a sense of possibility and his own potential. Sound familiar? In this episode, we talk about why the idea of a Theory of Everything is so misleading. In fact, scientists use many different theories to make sense of different levels of reality. There are models (aka beliefs are stories) that help make sense of the quantum world, the chemical world, the interaction of whole organisms and there is going to be a theory that makes sense of what underlies quantum field theory and general relativity. In the same way, you have beliefs for doing your job, how to talk to your in-laws and how to make sense of politics. These theories get confronted with data that doesn't fit your theory. The mark of a scientist isn't in being right. It's how you respond when you are wrong. In fact, a real scientist wants to be wrong quickly. Part 1 ends with Spiros talking about ponies with more than one trick...or as we call them Mixed Mental Artists. Tune in to Part 2 as Hunter recruits Spiros to become part of the Mixed Mental Arts dojo with all the subtlety of a Dutchman.

The last time we had Spiros Michalakis on. We knew we needed to get him back on asap. Partly, because we got such amazing feedback from the community of listeners and partly because we were so busy having our minds blown by the idea that time may not really be a thing that we barely got to scratch the surface. In fact, we were so impatient to get Spiros back on the show that we couldn’t even wait for a time when Bryan, Hunter and Spiros could all be together. In this episode, Spiros and Hunter go deeper into the ideas behind quantum mechanics and Spiros’ work. There’ll definitely be another interview because it turns out that quantum mechanics takes more than two one-hour interviews to crack. You can follow Spiros at @quantum_spiros. The Institute for Quantum Information and Matter at Caltech has a blog with more on their work: quantumfrontiers.com. The institute’s website is iqim.caltech.edu. Spiros hasn’t written a book yet. We think he should. Tweet him to that effect.

Spiros Michalakis is a quantum physicist at the Institute for Quantum Information and Matter at Caltech. Drop the mic... I mean…really…Spiros is a quantum physicist at the number 1 program for quantum physics in the US…and probably the world. But Spiros is not your typical quantum physicist. He’s the most approachable, down-to-earth and fundamentally accessible quantum physicist you are ever likely to hear speak. In the opinion of this episode write-up writer, Spiros is a superstar waiting for a place to happen. We can’t comment on his research though it sounds pretty amazing. (In this episode, he explains to us that there may be no such thing as time. Whaaaat?!?) We can say without doubt that he has an amazing willingness to communicate quantum physics to people who don’t know much about it (us) with patience. Seriously, Spiros is the Carl Sagan of Quantum Physics. In this episode, Spiros talks to us about how work on the Theory of Everything is going, what it means and what the consequences of such a theory for the world would be. Then, we run out of time because apparently you can’t quite fit the Theory of Everything into one one-hour podcast. We’re pretty sure we can do it in two which is why we’ll be bringing Spiros back on the show. Bryan has often said that on The Bryan Callen Show you will learn “everything.” We may finally make good on that. Well, maybe not. The Theory of Everything, people, will probably not be revealed on The Bryan Callen Show, but you might get a glimpse of what it would look like and how we’d get there from the best damn tour guide to the quantum world there is. You can follow Spiros at @quantum_spiros. The Institute for Quantum Information and Matter at Caltech has a blog with more on their work: quantumfrontiers.com. The institute’s website is iqim.caltech.edu. Spiros hasn’t written a book yet. We think he should. Tweet him to that effect.
