Episode #63 - Newton's Ultimate Laws of Physics


Today we talk about the famous three laws of classical physics that were first written by Sir Isaac Newton himself. These laws ultimately shifted the world's perspective on how THINGS work. We now understand them as obvious, but obviously, they have not always been...

Episode #62 - A Theory of Matter | Exploring the Standard Model w/ Dr. Pekka Sinervo


Today we talk with our first reoccurring guest here on the podcast, about particle physics! The building blocks of our universe are especially interesting to humans because they are so mysterious and odd.   Instagram: @math.physics.podcast Tiktok: @math.physics.podcast Email: math.physics.podcast@gmail.com Twitter: @MathPhysPod

Episode #61 - History of Physics | Einstein & Bohr Quantize the Universe


Today we have the third installment of our History of Physics series, with Einstein and Bohr. These two physicists were crucial in forming quantum theory at the beginning of the twentieth century. They are both known as two of the most influential scientists of all time!   Instagram: @math.physics.podcast Tiktok: @math.physics.podcast Email: math.physics.podcast@gmail.com Twitter: @MathPhysPod

Episode #58 - Lower Dimensions


Today we talk about the fascinating properties of lower physical dimensions. The very first math topic that we covered here on the podcast was higher dimensions, and now we continue that discussion, but going the other way. There are great analogies that we can draw from lower dimensions that help us understand the workings of upper dimensions. To all our listeners out there, we are so happy to say that you can head over to brilliant...

Episode #57 - The Search for Alien Life w/ Dr. Jill Tarter


Today we talk with the former director and co-founder of the SETI Institute. The institute pioneered the field of scientifically parsing through the universe in search of alien signatures in any shape or form, beyond a reasonable doubt. This was such an amazing talk about space and extraterrestrial life.

Episode #54 - Experiments That Changed History


Today we talk about just a few of the many experiments that have changed the history of physics. We each present some notable experiments that are sure to blow your mind, including the very first accurate calculation of the speed of light (which was also a confirmation that it was actually not infinite).
