Rethinking Physics Itself - Gareth Samuel, DemystiCon '25, DemystifySci #345

We're back to it!!! DemystiCon 2025 was a smashing success, and
we're thrilled to share it with you. The first talk we're posting
is by Gareth Samuel, host of See the Pattern. His videos explore
the frontier models of physics, where they break, and what that
means for our understanding of the universe. At this year’s
DemystiCon, Samuel gave an incredible talk about “What Would it
Take” to restructure our understanding of the Big Bang. Rather
than assuming a gradualist approach, where the field slowly
changes to accommodate a radically different perspective, Samuel
suggests a radical revamp to the way we approach physics as a
whole is necessary. Instead of assuming that data is some kind of
impartial report about the universe, he suggests we have to
reexamine the assumptions that are baked in to the process long
before the telescope or detector ever get switched on. PATREON

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. PATREON: get
