Science, Culture, Reason, Public Policy, & Fascinating Ideas

Physics World Weekly offers a unique insight into the latest news, breakthroughs and innovations from the global scientific community. Our award-winning journalists reveal what has captured their imaginations about the stories in the news this week, which might span anything from quantum physics and astronomy through to materials science, environmental research and policy, and biomedical science and technology. Find out more about the stories in this podcast by visiting the Physics World website. If you enjoy what you hear, then also check out our monthly podcast Physics World Stories, which takes a more in-depth look at a specific theme.

Quantum mechanics is full of surprises. But somehow, the theory is captured almost entirely in a single equation. Today we explore the Schrödinger equation: how it works, what it says about nature, and why it revolutionized physics.

Your host, Sebastian Hassinger, interviews brilliant research scientists, software developers, engineers and others actively exploring the possibilities of our new quantum era. We will cover topics in quantum computing, networking and sensing, focusing on hardware, algorithms and general theory. The show aims for accessibility - Sebastian is not a physicist - and we'll try to provide context for the terminology and glimpses at the fascinating history of this new field as it evolves in real time.

Exploring theoretical physics, consciousness, Ai, and God in a technically rigorous manner.

My name's Curt Jaimungal, a Torontonian with a degree in mathematical physics from the University of Toronto and I analyze various Theories of Everything from this analytic perspective, though more and more opening up to alternative approaches. The separating factor of TOE from other podcasts is its focus on depth even at the risk of limiting the audience due to how much detail we delve into subjects. Paralleling the intensity found in academic discourse, we're increasingly embracing a spectrum of unconventional ideas to conduct research during this podcast, rather than merely conveying existing information.

Spacewalk is the latest adventure with Tim Dodd, the Everyday Astronaut, as he takes listener and supporter questions and will dive deep into topics, while also having casual chats about whatever might be the current hot topic. The blend of Dodd's knowledge base, personal insights, and listener interactions makes this a must-listen for space enthusiasts and aspiring engineers alike. Join Tim as he continues his quest to "bring space down to Earth for everyday people"

Jim Rantschler and Randy Morrison discuss physics from elementary particles to cosmological effects at the limits of our theoretical knowledge or have recently emerged. 

Delve into the mesmerizing realm of Einstein's groundbreaking theory of Relativity, articulated by the genius himself. Both the Special and General facets of relativity unveil the intricate fabric of spacetime and proffer a sophisticated theory of gravitation. These pioneering theories, with their avant-garde implications, jolted the scientific community, leading to the radical dissolution of the concept of absolute time. In this tome, Einstein endeavors to distill his profound comprehension of this vast subject into an accessible format for the intellectually curious, yet non-mathematical audience. To echo Einstein's own words: "This volume seeks to offer a meticulous insight into the theory of Relativity for those who, from a holistic scientific and philosophical perspective, harbor an intrigue for the theory, yet remain unacquainted with the mathematical intricacies of theoretical physics." While the text may pose challenges, with tenacious engagement, it emerges as one of the most lucid and enlightening expositions on Relativity available.
