אודות פרק זה
Spiros asks me to forget what I know about physics and imagine we are in ancient Greece. I’m holding a rock. If I let go, why does it fall? Can I make it stop? Can I make it fall up? Those simple questions lead into his thought experiment about gravity and our movement through time — without starting with calculus or Einstein.
We follow that thread through anesthesia, memory, entropy, and the difference between what is possible and what is likely. I bring in self-driving cars, aikido, a rock-climbing close call, and salsa dancing to explore how we build a picture of the world beyond our own point of view.

I’ve got a real soft spot for outsiders—the poorly socialized nerds, hackers, lateral thinkers and other weirdos who refuse to accept the map they were handed. Spiros Michalakis has spent years at Caltech trying to figure out how to give more people access to the ideas and institutions normally re…
Spiros starts with a magnetic field, an electric current, and a voltage appearing in an unexpected direction. Then he takes me from the quantum Hall effect to topology, entanglement, and the possibility that the universe works like a hologram.
I try to keep up with Mexican jumping beans, scrat…
