Join Thad Roberts, theoretical physicist and former NASA
engineer, in a deep dive into the mysteries of our universe. In
this epic podcast episode, Roberts details his monastic quest for
a Theory of Everything, delves into the details of hyperbolic
space, the mysteries of the fine structure constant, and shares
the unique philosophy behind his think tank, the "Physics
Monastery." Wander with us through a realm beneath material
existence, examining the mathematical clues and the emergence of
meaningful relationships underpinning physical reality. Tell us

https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S 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. - Blog: http://DemystifySci.com/blog - RSS:
