Episode #58 - Lower Dimensions
Monday Apr 26, 2021
Monday Apr 26, 2021
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.

Episode #57 - The Search for Alien Life w/ Dr. Jill Tarter
Monday Apr 19, 2021
Monday Apr 19, 2021
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 #52 - Entropy in the Universe
Monday Mar 15, 2021
Monday Mar 15, 2021
Today we talk about the mysterious quantity in thermodynamics called entropy. Although it's a little bit odd to think about, it actually produces many of the equations we see in thermodynamics, including the ideal gas law. Thank you to Zhora for recommending this topic.
