Send us Fan Mail What if space and time aren’t the stage of the universe, but just the labels we use to make sense of something far stranger? In this episode, we follow the physicists and mathematicians who are quietly rewriting reality itself — one q‑number and one million‑dollar problem at a time. Support the show
Send us Fan Mail A quantum computer small enough to fit in a lab and fast enough to cause trouble is no longer science fiction, which means the cryptography holding the digital world together is starting to look a bit… porous. This episode walks through how we got here, what breaks first, and why your future cybersecurity strategy may involve equal parts math, engineering, and mild existential…
Send us Fan Mail The Younger Dryas was a sudden return to near‑glacial conditions about 12,800 years ago, when Earth’s climate abruptly cooled by up to 15°C after a long period of warming. In this episode, we explore how that dramatic shift was triggered using the latest scientific research findings (including a new understanding of ice physics). Support the show
Send us Fan Mail Cells aren’t as passive as scientists once thought—they actively create internal currents to move proteins quickly and efficiently. These “cellular winds” push materials to the front of the cell, enabling faster movement and repair. Discovered by chance and confirmed with advanced imaging, this system challenges decades of textbook biology. It may also reveal why some cancer cells…
Send us Fan Mail Scientists detail the consequences of a long term low-carb diet. The results will tempt you to grab the cookie jar. Support the show
Send us Fan Mail A discussion on past, present, and future capabilities of sci-fi worthy material technology. The science of both transparent aluminum and aerogel are reviewed. Support the show
Send us Fan Mail Scientists report on the results of analysis after reviewing 65 million children's heights from over 190 countries. Their mission was to draw attention to the impact of global nutrition. Support the show
Send us Fan Mail Scientists recently published research results using global daily data measures to provide a detailed result of the approximate volume of carbon omissions prevented from entering the atmosphere due to COVID-19. (Let's take the positive where we can find it.) Support the show
Send us Fan Mail Scientists discover how you may have antibodies to COVID-19 based on blood samples from 2011-2018 and why COVID's impact on children is on average less harmful. Support the show
Send us Fan Mail Scientists discover a new ACL repair surgery that reduces recovery time while limiting body transplant rejection. Australia is also lightly barbecued in the background. Support the show
