MENGENAI EPISOD INI
Byron Reese closes the loop from stories to dice to rocks that think. Probability gave us numbers for future events; computer chips gave us machines that can model thousands of possible futures.

We follow that question from Homo erectus hand axes and the cave paintings at Chauvet to language, memory ...
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, scr ...
Are you ready to get weird? The Telepathy Tapes makes an extraordinary claim: some nonspeaking autistic people appear able to receive information that nobody knows how they could get. Plenty of skeptics think the whole thing is bullshit. Plenty of believers skip straight past the experiment. Bot ...
