Mass Graves & Dark States in Bronze Age Europe - Dr. Barry Molloy (DemystifySci +465)
Today's episode features a conversation with Professor Barry Molloy, a UCD archaeologist, and expert on Bronze Age Europe and weaponry. Our discussion focuses on a massive but forgotten Bronze Age civilization in Europe. The evidence for this lost world comes from recent discovery of wooden megaforts and ancient battlefields of astouding proportions. Along the way we discuss Cornești Iarcuri, neolithic massacres, prehistoric warfare, and the potential for organized prehistoric armies. This brings us to a new view on the Bronze Age collapse 1200 BC, by way of a far more interconnected world than has been previously factored.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciOUR BOOK, PARADOX LOST: https://demystifysci.com/paradoxlostSECRETARY OF NATURE :Vinyl: https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereDownload: https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-hereYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ0Sp-n7p7uLefsRjAMGQPQStream: Everywhere!PARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Go!

Hydrogen Is Secretly a Tiny Antenna - Dr. Hans Schantz (DemystifySci +463)
Today's guest, Hans Schantz, is back for a second time to discuss his work on how shockingly similar the hydrogen atom is electrically to a small antenna. We discuss Q factor, linewidth, and Einstein coefficients. We also get to pick Hans' brain about important paradoxes in conduction line physics a la Oliver Heaviside. This takes us through Poynting vectors, energy flow vs. fields, Hertz, interference, electric/magnetic energy balances,and the concept of photon in the radio spectrum of EMR. Hans is also hosting a conference this January, where DemystifySci will give a talk and present a manuscript that extends our work from Paradox Lost into these electrical engineering concepts.

How an Extra Filter Actually Lets More Light Through - LIVE! (DemystifySci +462)
Order our the book, Paradox Lost: https://a.co/d/00FLBxxVWe're back to continue reading from our new book, Paradox Lost, where we examine the loss of material mediators in fundamental physics and then apply a simple set of axioms to imagine what the future of that abandoned physics might look like. Previously we introduced a material model of extended atomic architecture and used it to explain electromagnetism, and then the intricate nuance of transmission and opacity. This week, we are continuing the paradox busting by applying what we've learned about light to solve the three polarizer paradox.MATERIAL PHYSICS LIVESTREAM PLAYLIST: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVZ7oHxYd8wM#Physics #QuantumPhysics #QuantumMechanics #Light #Photon #ParadoxLostPATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-herePARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showMERCH: Rock some DemystifySci gear : https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/AMAZON: Do your shopping through this link: https://amzn.to/3YyoT98DONATE: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaDSUBSTACK: https://substack.com/@UCqV4_7i9h1_V7hY48eZZSLw@demystifysci RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rssMAILING LIST: https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/- Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySciMUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671

Scaling Laws: the Numbers that Drive Death & Stoke Life - Dr. Geoffrey West (DemystifySci +461)
Today we're sitting down with Professor Geoffrey West from the Santa Fe Institute, to talk about his work on scale: Kleiber’s law, entity lifespan, fractal circulatory networks, multicellularity, compartmentalization, and bureaucracy, Along the way we touch on cities vs. companies, open-ended growth, stultified institutions, soulless planned cities, and what it takes to beat Nature at her own game.The Paper Discussed: How much regulation do we need from genomes to society?https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.02884PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciOUR BOOK, PARADOX LOST: https://demystifysci.com/paradoxlostSECRETARY OF NATURE :Vinyl: https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereDownload: https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-hereYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ0Sp-n7p7uLefsRjAMGQPQStream: Everywhere!PARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Go!

What Would It Take to Tip Earth Over? - The Ethical Skeptic (DemystifySci +460)
Today's episode features Roger Cunningham, The Ethical Skeptic, discussing his ECDO theory of true polar wander. He reopens the case for the Dzhanibekov effect behind the possibility that the could Earth tip over and we push him for the details of the mechanism, covering core-mantle decoupling, exothermic iron phase change, and crystal-lattice geomagnetism. We also examine Cunningham's claim that cultural knowledge of a recent pole shift event persists in the form of Gilgamesh, Solon’s floods, monument alignments, and the lost continent of Sundaland.

The Physics Monks (DemystifySci +458)
This week, we headed to Moab, Utah, to meet up with Thad Roberts and his merry band of physics monks. Thad heads the Physics Monestery, an organization of physicists who have devoted their lives to understanding the hidden meaning of the constants of nature - from the speed of light to Planck’s constant, the theoretical landscape is plastered with numbers that have no apparent physical connection to one another. Outside the walls of the academy, the physics monks are working on knot theory, searching for the simplest manifold to unify electron geometry.

Previously we introduced a material model of extended atomic architecture and used it to explain electromagnetism, and then the intricate nuance of transmission and opacity. This week, we are setting up for the final battle of the book: paradox busing. Our first classic quantum paradox is entanglement, and we focus on Alain Aspect's Nobel Prize-winning experiment to validate spooky action at a distance.
