ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Most brain-training products begin by demanding patience from the exact brain that is already distracted, stressed or exhausted. Jamie Wood wants the opposite: ask as little as possible, find the highest-leverage behavior and deliver something useful fast.

Those simple questions lead into his thought experiment about gravity and our movement through time — without starti…
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, scratc…
Mike Winter starts in an Alaska winter with little snow-going robots, opens Wired, and calls Mark Thorpe about Robot Wars — then builds the promo video, wins middleweight with a flipper, and finds a whole tribe of ILM and Silicon Valley people who just wanted to make dangerous fun machines.
We get…
