#25 | Quantum Mechanics With Raafae & Athena, Aged 11

04/26/20 • 45 min

Athena & Raafae join one of the nerds to have a chat about one of the most mysterious areas in physics... quantum mechanics!
This chat was really an overview of the major ideas in the field. Quanta and photons. Wave particle duality. Matter as a wave. The Uncertainty Principle. Schrodinger's Equation & the Wave function. The measurement problem & the Copenhagen Interpretation. Entanglement & Bell's Theorem. Hidden Variables and Many Worlds.
It is near impossible for us to explore all of the mysteries of Quantum Mechanics in one sitting! But if you would like us to do more in-depth chats about more specific topics, let us know!

#24 | Aliens II (Solo Episode)

The nerds debate the possibility of finding complex alien life somewhere else in the universe.
We discuss the probabilities of finding extraterrestrial life elsewhere and the probability of it evolving into "intelligent life" by looking at from two viewpoints; an astrophysicist's and a biologist's.
Due to the lockdown, this episode had to recorded remotely, and without our customary small human being. :(

#26 | Relativity With Athena & Raafae, Aged 11

Athena & Raafae, aged 11, joins the nerds to have a little chat about relativity!
Are space and time absolute? What is the theory of special relativity? And general relativity? How did Einstein come up with it? What is Length Contraction? What is Time Dilation? How come we don't observe all the strangeness of relativity? Can we test relativity?
Another great mind-bending chat with Athena & Raafae during the lockdown!
