Earlier this year, my friend Matt Himes (managing editor of The Blaze's Align) lost his home in the California fires, but he didn't lose his sense of humor or his willingness to try a lot of things he's bad at. It was great catching up with Matt on life after the fire, what it's like to live out a George Carlin bit, “String Theory,” and going into the unknown of rebuilding.

For decades, string theory has been hailed as the leading candidate for the theory of everything in our universe. Yet despite its mathematical elegance, the theory still lacks empirical evidence. One of its most intriguing, yet vexing, implications is that if all matter and forces are composed of vibrations of tiny strands of energy, then this allows for a vast landscape of possible universes with different physical properties, varieties of particles and complex spacetimes. How, then, can we possibly pinpoint our own universe within a field of almost infinite possibilities? Since 2005, Cumrun Vafa(opens a new tab) at MIT has been working to weed out this crowded landscape by identifying which hypothetical universes lie in a ‘swampland' with properties inconsistent with the world we observe. In this episode of The Joy of Why, Vafa talks to co-host Janna Levin about the current state of string theory, why there are no more than 11 dimensions, how his swampland concept got an unexpected lift from the BICEP array, and how close we may be to testable predictions.

Would you live your life any differently if there was proof that we are, in fact, all connected? That's the question we ask in this episode of the podcast. Our hosts, Christine and Renee, discuss the history of String Theory from ancient Chinese folklore to today's physicist's studying quantum science. If you've ever had a feeling that you've known someone forever, but you only just met; believe in the power of group meditation or just love a philosophical debate — this episode is for you. Ground yourself, because we're about to get trippy

Could the universe have been any different, or were we destined for life by necessity? Join Jacob and Ankit as they unpack Stephen Hawking's insights into string theory, and the astonishing concept of a cosmic "landscape" with 10⁵⁰⁰ possible universes. Discover how the improbability multiplies, and why physicists argue the universe didn't have to be the way it is—raising profound questions about chance, necessity, and design.Links and citation: S.

This week, Hackaday's Elliot Williams and Kristina Panos met up across the (stupid, lousy) time zones to bring you the latest news, mystery sound, and of course, a big bunch of hacks from the previous week. Again, no news is good news. On What's That Sound, Kristina didn't get close at all, but at least had a guess this time. If you think you can identify the sound amid all the talking, you could win a Hackaday Podcast t-shirt! After that, it's on to the hacks and such, beginning with a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde situation when it comes to a pair of formerly-cloud music players. We take a look at a crazy keyboard hack, some even crazier conductive string, and a perfectly cromulent list of 70 DIY synths on one wild webpage. Finally, we rethink body art with LEDs, and take a look at a couple of printing techniques that are a hundred years or so apart in their invention. Check out the links below if you want to follow along, and as always, tell us what you think about this episode in the comments!

Leonard Susskind is Felix Block Professor of Physics at Stanford University. Along with other accomplishments, he is among the fathers of such revolutionary concepts in physics as string theory, black hole complementarity, the holographic principle, and the string-theoretic landscape. He was also the guest on episode #217, where he and Robinson discussed the fine-tuning problem and the physics of the multiverse. In this episode, Leonard and Robinson get into another topic—black holes and the information paradox. More particularly, they talk about important figures like Stephen Hawking and Gerard 't Hooft, singularities, chaos, whether the cosmos is a hologram, the end of the universe, and more. For further details, check out Leonard's book on the title: The Black Hole War (Back Bay Books, 2009).The Black Hole War: https://a.co/d/3eTOHoZThe Theoretical Minimum: https://theoreticalminimum.comOUTLINE00:00 Introduction05:21 Black Holes and the War Between Relativity and Quantum Mechanics11:18 Is The Singularity at the Heart of a Black Hole Real?21:51 Demystifying the Puzzle of Quantum Information28:27 What Does The Famous Phrase “It From Bit” Mean?38:47 Can Information Be Stored on the Surface of a Black Hole?47:11 Was Stephen Hawking a Good Physicist?56:21 How Will The Universe End?1:00:49 What Is the Black Hole Information Paradox?1:10:47 What Is the Holographic Principle?1:20:01 How Leonard Susskind Won the Black Hole War Against Stephen Hawking1:25:09 What Is the Infamous AdS/CFT Correspondence?1:32:29 Is Physics in a Deep Crisis?1:39:29 Are String and M-Theory Totally Wrong?1:43:05 Is String Theory the Theory of Everything?1:47:43 Is String Theory a Failure?1:50:15 Does Our World Have Extra Dimensions?1:53:34 Could Our World Be a Hologram?Robinson's Website: http://robinsonerhardt.comRobinson Erhardt researches symbolic logic and the foundations of mathematics at Stanford University.

Raphael Bousso is the Chancellor's Chair in Physics at the Berkeley Center for Theoretical Physics, where he leads the Bousso Group in research on quantum gravity and quantum information. He is a renowned string theorist famous also for his development of the string theoretic landscape and the Bousso bound in holography. In this episode, Robinson and Raphael talk about the foundations of quantum mechanics and whether or not there are any deep mysteries within the theory that remain to be solved, and whether philosophical discussion of these issues is overblown. More particularly, they get into what quantum theories tell us about the world, whether we need different interpretations of quantum mechanics, whether the final theory of the universe will be quantum mechanical, how quantum mechanics connects to cosmology, the multiverse, and quantum gravity, and more.

To celebrate the new year, I'm re-releasing the three most popular episodes of 2024. This is #2...Tony Huber is the former coach of multiple doubles world #1 players including Liezel Huber, Martina Navratilova, Cara Black, Lisa Raymond, Ai Sugiyama, Latisha Chan, and Sonia Mirza. Today he coaches adult club-level players and I absolutely love his approach to the game.This is one of those conversations that you'll want to listen to multiple times. I believe it will change the way you practice and play. We cover:Tony's favorite doubles drills to help adult players better understand how points are won and lost in doubles.The one error you must avoid to improve.How to level up from 3.0/3.5 to 4.0/4.5.What most player get wrong about how they win or lose.The 3rd String Theory (this will help your volleys a ton!)The most important shots in doubles.How to captain a winning USTA teamand more...I expect this to be one of our most popular episodes and will have Tony on again.Mentioned in this interview:Baseline Vision CameraThe Bolt Tennis RacquetAustralian Open & Cincinnati OpenPressure Tennis by Paul WardlawFreakonomics by Steven D.

Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex! Harrison finally went back to the dentist and they rolled out the red carpet (see: https://www.tiktok.com/@justalexpod/video/7409333328458911007). Then, we dive into some holiday debates, like whether it's too early to decorate for Christmas before Thanksgiving, and share our thoughts on creating new holiday traditions. We also discuss the foods we could eat for six months straight (like tater drinking her milk), plus answer your questions about life as parents, dating an influencer, and the relationship shifts we've experienced since having a baby. We wrap things up with a discussion on postpartum depression—what it feels like, how to support a partner through it, and available resources.  As always, thank you for listening! ❤️ ---------------------------------------------------------------- Timestamps:  00:00:00 Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex! 00:04:00 Harrison was outed at the dentist 00:09:15 Only scammers tell you to buy a gift card to pay them 00:12:39 Our invisible string 00:15:15 Is decorating for Christmas before Thanksgiving disrespectful?! 00:23:18 What food could you eat for 6 months straight? 00:25:53 Creating new holiday traditions 00:28:00 A baby's full-o-meter  00:30:27 Q&A: Is the podcast officially Just Alex & Harrison? 00:33:46 Q&A: What's the best/worst thing about dating an influencer? 00:37:33 Q&A: What relationship pain points have changed with a newborn? 00:41:22 Q&A: What's one thing nobody tells you about having a newborn? 00:44:35 Q&A: What is the age gap you want for baby #2? 00:45:10 Dealing with postpartum depression 00:55:10 How can a partner help a new mom with postpartum depression? 01:03:55 LOVE YOU GUYS! #justalexpod ---------------------------------------------------------------- Listen to the pod on Spotify/Apple Podcasts:  https://open.spotify.com/show/7BxuZnHmNzOX9MdnzyU4bD?si=5e715ebaf9014fac https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/just-alex/id1737442386 Follow Just Alex Pod: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/justalexpod/ TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@justalexpod Follow Alex: Alex's Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/justalexbennett Alex's TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@justalexbennett Follow Harrison:  Harrison's Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/harrisonfugman Harrison's TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@harrisonfugman ---------------------------------------------------------------- Powered by: Just Media House -- https://www.justmediahouse.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------- Learn more about your ad choices.

Using machine learning, string theorists are finally showing how microscopic configurations of extra dimensions translate into sets of elementary particles — though not yet those of our universe.

The idea that the universe is made of tiny vibrating strings was once the science theory du jour. String theory promised to unite the disparate theories describing particles and gravity, and many people, not just scientists, were optimistic that a theory of everything might be within our grasp. But here we are, many years later, and string theory doesn't seem to have delivered on its initial promise. What happened? We consider the science around string theory in this episode of Skeptic Check. Guest: Brian Greene – Physicist and mathematician at Columbia University, and author of The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory. Featuring music by Dewey Dellay and Jun Miyake Big Picture Science is part of the Airwave Media podcast network. Please contact advertising@airwavemedia.com to inquire about advertising on Big Picture Science.

Thirty years ago, David Foster Wallace reported “The String Theory,” an essay about a pro tennis player named Michael Joyce. No, Joyce wasn't as good as his fellow Americans (Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras, Michael Chang). But what Joyce taught Wallace — the best writer of his generation, and a former junior player himself — turned into the greatest tennis essay of all time. Today, in the middle of the U.S. Open, Pablo sits down with Michael Joyce — who's since become a coach to players like Maria Sharapova — and they dissect the genius and the eccentricities of David Foster Wallace, who died in 2008. And we learn about the psychologies of two grotesque glories: writing and tennis.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
