A Terrifying Theory of Language - Dr. Elan Barenholtz, DemystifySci #413

Today's episode features Roger Cunningham, The Ethical Skeptic, discussing his ECDO theory of true polar wander. He reopens the case for the Dzhanibekov effect behind the possibility that the could Earth tip over and we push him for the details of the mechanism, covering core-mantle decoupling, exothermic iron phase change, and crystal-lattice geomagnetism. We also examine Cunningham's claim that cultural knowledge of a recent pole shift event persists in the form of Gilgamesh, Solon’s floods, monument alignments, and the lost continent of Sundaland. Could this possibly be true?PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciOUR BOOK, PARADOX LOST: https://demystifysci.com/paradoxlostSECRETARY OF NATURE :Vinyl: https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereDownload: https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-hereYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ0Sp-n7p7uLefsRjAMGQPQStream: Everywhere!PARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Go!

Order our the book, Paradox Lost: https://a.co/d/00FLBxxVWe're back to continue reading from our new book, Paradox Lost, where we examine the loss of material mediators in fundamental physics and then apply a simple set of axioms to imagine what the future of that abandoned physics might look like. Previously we introduced a material model of extended atomic architecture and used it to explain electromagnetism, and then the intricate nuance of transmission and opacity. This week, we are continuing the paradox busting by applying what we've learned about light to solve a couple of the most perplexing experiments in all of physics: double-slit interference and single-photon interference.MATERIAL PHYSICS LIVESTREAM PLAYLIST: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVZ7oHxYd8wM #Physics #QuantumMechanics #QuantumPhysics #Electromagnetism #DoubleSlitExperiment #WaveParticleDuality #Photon #ParadoxLost PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-herePARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showMERCH: Rock some DemystifySci gear : https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/AMAZON: Do your shopping through this link: https://amzn.to/3YyoT98DONATE: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaDSUBSTACK: https://substack.com/@UCqV4_7i9h1_V7hY48eZZSLw@demystifysci RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rssMAILING LIST: https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/- Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySciMUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671

This week, we headed to Moab, Utah, to meet up with Thad Roberts and his merry band of physics monks. Thad heads the Physics Monestery, an organization of physicists who have devoted their lives to understanding the hidden meaning of the constants of nature - from the speed of light to Planck’s constant, the theoretical landscape is plastered with numbers that have no apparent physical connection to one another. Outside the walls of the academy, the physics monks are working on knot theory, searching for the simplest manifold to unify electron geometry. This is their story.PHYSICS MONASTERY: https://www.physicsmonastery.earth/Additional footage by Chris Villalobos of Charion Studios - @CharionMusic PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciOUR BOOK, PARADOX LOST: https://demystifysci.com/paradoxlostSECRETARY OF NATURE (our music in this episode!):Vinyl: https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereDownload: https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-hereYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ0Sp-n7p7uLefsRjAMGQPQStream: Everywhere!PARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Go!

Previously we introduced a material model of extended atomic architecture and used it to explain electromagnetism, and then the intricate nuance of transmission and opacity. This week, we are setting up for the final battle of the book: paradox busing. Our first classic quantum paradox is entanglement, and we focus on Alain Aspect's Nobel Prize-winning experiment to validate spooky action at a distance. Using the Material Principles of Natural Philosophy, we reveal a shockingly un-spooky interpretation of the venerated experiment.#QuantumEntanglement #Physics #QuantumMechanics #QuantumPhysics #Electromagnetism #ParadoxLost PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-herePARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showMERCH: Rock some DemystifySci gear : https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/AMAZON: Do your shopping through this link: https://amzn.to/3YyoT98DONATE: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaDSUBSTACK: https://substack.com/@UCqV4_7i9h1_V7hY48eZZSLw@demystifysci RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rssMAILING LIST: https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/- Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySciMUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671

Today's guest is Professor Kyle Harper, author of The Fate of Rome, a radical reimagining of the fall of the Roman Empire. It is a saga of plague, volcanism & climate shifts, and coups, that reveals multiple fractures in the empire long before its final collapse. We touch on the crisis of the third century, currency collapse, imperial fractures, and the role of new urban diseases: the Antonine Plague, Plague of Cyprian, Plague of Justinian, and how being rich but sick pointed to critical emergencies hidden in plain sight. This is a story of blind spots and reveals a deep lesson for our present global civilization.
