Episode 290 – Unstoppable Corporate Shaman with Wolf Born

I would like you to meet Randal Newton-john, at least that was his given name at birth, but I’ll come back to that in a moment. Randal grew up with what he describes as a pretty normal childhood. Many of us might not totally agree since his aunt’s name is Olivia Newton-John. If being the nephew of …

Episode 86. Quantum Mechanics: Jim Baggott

Humanity's understanding of the universe radically altered with the advent of quantum mechanics in the early 20th century. The theory of quantum mechanics describes how nature behaves at or below the scale of atoms, and the road to that theory was littered with seemingly insurmountable obstacles. W…

S3E8: Klaus Fuchs: WW2 Nuclear Weapons Physicist and Spy

Excellent at mathematics, physics, and possibly even better at being an all round nice guy. Jonny tells us about the life of Klaus Fuchs and his roll in the melodrama of THE BOMB in 1945. Fleeing the Nazi regime, his relationship with Max Born, life as a German in WW2 Britain, his traumatic journey…

Heisenberg, the Salieri of Physics

Feedback welcome Heisenberg and Schrödinger had competing theories about the atomic model: Heisenberg took a discontinuous particle approach and his rival Schrödinger, a continuous wave approach. Heisenberg prevailed by hi-jacking Schrödinger's wave equation which had been intended to describe real…

From Radar Research to Stellar Nucleosynthesis Fred Hoyle, born in West Yorkshire in 1915, spent his childhood immersed in the cinema where his mother worked as a pianist, performing classical music for silent films and providing the environment where Hoyle taught himself to read by watching the o…

3 - The Quantum Café: How Six Physicists Reinvented Realityproject

Imagine Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schrödinger, and Max Born gathered around a café table, each explaining the discovery that pushed physics closer to the quantum revolution. Beginning with Planck’s desperate attempt to explain the glow of a furnace, this stor…

16 - When the Electron Became a Wave | Schrödinger, Bohr, and the Music Inside the Atomoject

Bohr gave us a strange new picture of the atom: electrons could occupy only certain energy levels and somehow “jump” between them. But he never really explained why only those levels were allowed. Then Erwin Schrödinger entered the story. Building on Louis de Broglie’s radical idea that matter coul…

15 - Order Matters

Why does the order of operations matter in quantum mechanics? In this video, we follow the surprising path from Heisenberg’s early work on atomic transitions to one of physics’ most famous ideas: the uncertainty principle. You’ll see how Max Born recognized Heisenberg’s strange tables as matrices, …

Deterministic AI Is a Myth — and Physics Proved It First

· udskrift
There is a flinch every engineer knows: an AI writes the code, passes the test, then returns something different the next time. It feels like a defect — machines are supposed to be clocks. But the demand for a perfectly deterministic machine is a category error, and it is one physics already made, …
