This is our second conversation with esteemed physics professor,
Dr. Andrê Koch Torres Assis. Following our earlier discussion of
Weber's electrodynamics, we now move into Professor Assis' other
passion: Machian dynamics. Mach is perhaps one of the most
well-known behind-the-scenes players in the saga of modern
physics. Einstein and others often point to Mach as inspiring
their ideas but it is often unclear exactly what Mach was
proposing when he said that inertia was simply the result of the
gravity of the sum total of all of the distant celestial bodies
acting upon something locally. In this podcast we explore Mach's
ideas through a few simple experiments. Please tell us your
thoughts in the comments!

PODCAST INFO:  Anastasia completed her PhD studying
bioelectricity at Columbia University. When not talking to
brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time painting,
reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Shilo also did his
PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of molecular
water. When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring sound in
music. They are both freelance professors at various
universities.
