I would like an episode on string theory.
Firstly love the podcast:
Episode 24: You mentioned that electrons repel electrons or partials repel each other with photons.. light.. what’s the wave length? when two magnates repel each other I don’t see light? so photons in a very short wavelength?
A good topic for an episode might be the Information Paradox in Black Holes and its resolution
Thanks for having the HP Lovecraft guys on. I enjoy their show a lot.
One thing about the black hole show — you mention singularities without explaining them. People tend to think a singularity is a ‘thing’ like a white dwarf or a toaster. I think you could spend at least half a show clarifying the concept, both in astronomy and in math.
sup TIPHY crew…heads up for a tune sampling Jocelyn from the gravitational waves episode…thought she might like listen

great show…we want more and more and more…
anarcho greetings from darkest Sheffield
this rocks the party. maybe i should make a “fan-mix” section of the webpage and share it with everyone. *RAD*
I love the show. It’s humorous change of pace from all the overly sensationalized/reused clips astronomy/physics TV shows we have…I think I counted planet earth blowing up 7 times last time I watched The Universe.
Episode idea #1: Your take on the ultimate fate of the universe, and what we can do to survive that as a species billions of years down the road (traverse into another universe, dyson sphere, etc.).
Episode idea #2: What are other universes? What defines their/our “boundaries?” Why do they have different laws of physics? Do we ever run into them? Can they merge? Do they orbit each other? Are they in clusters like galaxies?
(I’m curious because I had a crazy idea that the reason our universe is expanding is because the other universes are attracting and tugging our universe’s boundaries…but I’m an IT guy with a creative sci-fi mind, not a physicist)
Episode idea #3: Other dimensions, what are they, what exists in them, how do they explain how dark matter works, how can we detect them
I just discovered this podcast and want to propose marriage to it. I will stand outside its window playing Peter Gabriel on a boombox until it agrees.
nice
Nice show.
I would like to hear something different than in other podcast. Because Black Holes, Dark Matter and Energy are quite popular among science podcasts. Maybe something from “real physics” which is interesting as well.
Thanks Aleksandra!
what you say is true.
part of the issue is that my field of expertise is General Relativity, where we study gravity.
Black holes, Dark matter and energy are super fun topic which the media has done a lot of,
but they’re also the low hanging fruit for me to talk about. :p
so it’s a little bit of a coincidence that we’ve done a lot of shows on these topics.
Please keep listening, I intend to expand the field of topics we discuss in the show over time.
Sorry to take you backwards but a comment on Episode 8 (I came to your podcast late). I found the explanation of the Dirac sea somewhat hard to follow. Clearly quantum mechanics is the most difficult topic to find reasonable visual metaphors so it is understandable. A second listen (the advantage of recorded material!) really helped. But even on the second listen you don’t seem to explain why the “free” electrons in graphene behave in a way consistent with the quantum mechanics explained by the “Dirac Sea”. The analog is both interesting and clearly useful (from a technology and applications perspective) but WHY does this happen? Is it an interesting coincidence, since it seems only to happen within some strict ranges of temperatures if I heard correctly, or is there a deeper connection? Why would subatomic behaviors work similarly in “super-atomic” structure like graphene?
Howdy,
Episode 24 did not answer my biggest question about the Higgs. I keep thinking that it might be what is sometimes called dark matter,
Is that plausible?
Hi.
The Higgs boson probably is not dark matter, because it decays into other particles rather quickly.
could the gravitation of the Higgs field itself be responsible. Maybe. I don’t know.
