ExtraordinaryUniverse

Daniel and Kelly's Extraordinary Universe, a podcast about our amazing Universe. Hosted by @DanielWhiteson and @FuSchmu.

[ExtraordinaryUniverse @DandKUniverse]

@chonex Dilated with respect to what? All observers are in the Universe, so there's no clocks outside the Universe to compare to.

[Daniel Whiteson @DanielWhiteson]

Daniel and Kelly break space, twist time, and then put it back together to explain the most important concept in relativity you've never heard of.

What is a space-time interval?

[Dr. Kelly Weinersmith @FuSchmu]

We had Dr. Chelsea Wood on @DandKUniverse to chat about rat lungworm - a particularly unpleasant nematode parasite that is spreading way outside of its native range.

Chelsea's book, Netherworld, is available for pre-order now:

Daniel and Kelly talk about what it means to be a physics fudge factor and whether DM is fudgy or solid science.

[Daniel Whiteson @DanielWhiteson]

Is dark matter just a 'fudge factor'?

[ExtraordinaryUniverse @DandKUniverse]

@chonex @Ri_Science The neutrinos start out in a flavor eigenstate (just one, not a superposition). But that flavor eigenstate is a superposition of mass eigenstates, which move through space differently, leading to flavor oscillation.

[ExtraordinaryUniverse @DandKUniverse]

@trev12or Thank you!

[Daniel Whiteson @DanielWhiteson]

Daniel and Kelly dissect the evidence presented in recent peer-reviewed science papers for pre-Sputnik artificial satellites in Earth orbit.

[Daniel Whiteson @DanielWhiteson]

Are the "transients" compelling evidence of non-human intelligence in Earth's orbit?

[ExtraordinaryUniverse @DandKUniverse]

@LavistaBatman It's not good news!!

[Dr. Kelly Weinersmith @FuSchmu]

Want to learn more about screw worm, and how we've eradicated it in the past? Check out this episode of @DandKUniverse where I discuss it in response to a listener's question: https://t.co/GfBLF6GR2X

[Greg Egan @gregeganSF]

Colin and Rowena play a game where a quizmaster asks Colin to fill in one COLUMN of a 3×3 grid with three 1s or -1s whose product is -1, then asks Rowena to do the same for one ROW with three numbers whose product is 1.

If they agree for the square in common, they win one point.

Need a summer project? A friend has built a new non-profit program for undergrad, masters, PhD students and recent grads to build fun, impactful projects with public and private sector mentors this summer. It’s free, and open to anyone:

Article about dad jokes in the CERN courier

[Daniel Whiteson @DanielWhiteson]

Daniel and Kelly explain the bizarre Tychonic model of the solar system, which for centuries stood as a valid theory alongside the Copernican model.

[Daniel Whiteson @DanielWhiteson]

Could the Earth be the center of the solar system? (with the Sun orbiting the Earth, and other planets orbiting the Sun)

[Rolando Natalizia @chonex]

Listen to @DandKUniverse where they do a whole episode about this very subject https://t.co/6kfHqOJ407

[Daniel Whiteson @DanielWhiteson]

Daniel and Kelly explain the nature of the quantum vacuum, whether its real or philosophical, and if it's possible to use to make your toast.

[Daniel Whiteson @DanielWhiteson]

Is zero-point vacuum energy usable?
