The Big Bang of Ideas

In this episode, we discuss explainable AI, including the development and future of AI, along with case-based reasoning with Dr. Rosina Weber, associate professor at Drexel University. Together, we unravel everything from the research behind AI to future developments and even the possibility of human replacement.

In this episode, we discuss time crystals and the symphony of time, including the scientific explanation behind how crystals can change over time without energy, with Dr. Krzysztof Sacha, Professor of Physics at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. Together, we unravel everything from the quantum physics behind time crystals to how it could potentially change the way we think about time itself.

In this episode, we discuss dark matter, including the research and involvement with galaxy formation, with Dr. Fabio Iocco, a distinguished physicist specialising in astroparticle physics and cosmology. Together, we unravel everything from what dark matter is (or rather, what it’s not) to the possibilities it may have for the future.

In this episode, we discuss brain stimulation, including the research and the use cases from medical to cognitive enhancement, with Dr. Marom Bikson, a globally recognised leader in the field of neuroengineering and brain stimulation. Together, we unravel everything from the core ideas behind brain stimulation and neuroenhancement to the future of brain stimulation technology.

In this episode, we discuss high-energy physics and its ability to change the power that runs our civilisations to date, including fusion science, with Dr. Carolyn Kuranz, a renowned researcher in plasma physics and fusion energy. Together, we unravel everything from the very engineering behind the research on plasma physics to the broad implications that this research could have on our society.

In this episode, we discuss the art of synthetic biology and its ability to change and reshape the world as we know it, including topics like biological enhancements and human evolution, with Mr. Andrew Hessel, a pioneering scientist and entrepreneur in the field of synthetic biology. Together, we unravel everything from the possibilities of synthetic biology down to the intricacy of how we can edit specific gene sequences.

In this episode, we discuss the origin of consciousness including topics delving into ancient humans and inner voices with Mr. Marcel Kuijsten, a pioneering researcher in bicameral theory and the executive director of the Julian Jaynes Society. Together, we unravel everything from the very beginnings of consciousness to the evolution of the bicameral mind and the switch towards modern-day consciousness.

In this episode, we discuss the state of civilisations beyond Earth, including aliens and intelligent beings with Dr. Avi Loeb, a widely-recognised theoretical physicist known as an expert on astrophysics and cosmology, as well as the leading figure behind research into extraterrestrial life. Together, we unravel everything from the state of Earth's current operations into the matter, including the possibility of existence for aliens and life outside space.

In this episode, we discuss the history behind the accidental invention of superglue. From its original purpose to be made a gun sight for WW2 soldiers of the allied forces, all the way to how Dr. Harry Wesley Coover of the Eastman Kodak company discovered the compound “cyanoacrylate”, join us as we unravel the fascinating journey of this sticky invention that changed industries worldwide.
