  • Unsolved Mysteries of Electrostatics - Dr. Andre Assis, DemystifySci #364
    Sep 16 2025

    Andre Koch Torres Assis is a professor of Physics at the University of Campinas in Brazil, who has been studying the history of electricity and electrodynamics for more than thirty years. As part of his research, he has assembled put together a collection of experiments that demonstrate some of the earliest experiences that natural philosophers had with electricity - and which show how poorly understood these phenomena still are today, more than two hundred years after they were first observed.

  • Entropy is a Death Cult - Howard Bloom, DemystifySci #362
    Sep 8 2025

    Howard Bloom is an author, scientist, and former music industry publicist, who argues that entropy has been disastrously misapplied as a universal law across physics, cosmology, biology, information theory, and culture. In this episode we explore how a concept that was initially formulated in context of steam engines was used to create a story of universe doomed from the start, and explore Bloom’s radical alternative: that the universe — from atoms to galaxies, evolution to economics, music to technology — is not destined for collapse, but driven toward order, complexity, creativity, and flamboyant progress.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showOUR HOMEBREWED MUSICCheck out our band's new album:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-hereVinyl pre-orders available now: https://buy.stripe.com/14A5kC3Od5d21Ms7zPdEs0900:00 Go!

  • Rationality Couldn't Replace God: What's Next? - Dr. Michael Hughes, DemystifySci #361
    Sep 5 2025

    Michael Hughes is a biochemist, water researcher and friend of the podcast with a passion for philosophy, mythology, and esoteric traditions. In this conversation, we explore the historical tension between priesthood and prophecy, the way science has replaced religion as a cultural authority, and ask why no society has ever thrived without a shared mythos. The discussion touches on mythology as a guiding force, Rudolf Steiner’s spiritual dualism, the balance between materialism and mysticism, the promises and failures of technology, transhumanism, and AI. We also dive into the rise of UFOs and alien narratives as new messianic myths, the enduring metaphor of Atlantis, and the possibility of building a functional metaphysical framework for chaotic times.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showOUR HOMEBREWED MUSICCheck out our band's new album:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-hereVinyl pre-orders available now: https://buy.stripe.com/14A5kC3Od5d21Ms7zPdEs0900:00 Go!

  • Hidden Payoff of Civilizational Ruin - Dr. Dani Sulikowski, DemystifySci #360
    Sep 2 2025

    Danielle Sulikowski, professor of evolutionary psychology, presents a controversial theory on why global fertility rates and birth rates are collapsing.

    She argues that an evolutionary strategy known as female mate suppression—where dominant women repress the reproductive success of rivals—has shifted in humans into a modern form of antinatal social contagion.

    Rather than direct biological suppression, the strategy manifests as propaganda and cultural messaging that discourage motherhood, promote career over family, and accelerate population decline.

    We explore how intrasexual competition among women could shape civilization itself, why some groups might defect against their own society to gain an evolutionary edge, and how this connects to broader debates in feminism, cultural evolution, and civilizational collapse.

    The conversation also ties in the density-dependent dynamics of Calhoun’s Rat Utopia experiments as a possible parallel to modern urbanization, social media, and declining birth rates.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showOUR HOMEBREWED MUSICCheck out our band's new album:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-hereVinyl pre-orders available now: https://buy.stripe.com/14A5kC3Od5d21Ms7zPdEs0900:00 Go!

  • If Telepathy Happens, By What Physics? - Helanê Wahbeh, DemystifySci #359
    Aug 27 2025

    What if telepathy isn’t fantasy, but an undiscovered frontier of biophysics? In this conversation, Helené Wahbeh of the Institute of Noetic Sciences joins us to explore how mind-to-mind communication could be studied through neuroscience, quantum theory, and consciousness research.

    We’re not obsessed with whether it’s real — we’re asking how it would work if it were. A tightrope the edge of what's known, where psi phenomena meets mechanism and physics.

  • If Teleportation Happened, By What Physics? - Ashton Forbes, DemystifySci #358
    Aug 24 2025

    What if Flight MH370 wasn’t just lost, but simply became hidden from view? In this episode with controversial youtuber Ashton Forbes, we take the mystery seriously: not as magic, but as a challenge to what we think we know about plasma, quantum mechanics, and fusion. The question isn’t about belief, but about possibility: if teleportation happened, what physical mechanisms could explain it? We're at the edge of reason for this one, where mystery bashes up again rationality.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showOUR HOMEBREWED MUSICCheck out our band's new album:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-hereVinyl pre-orders available now: https://buy.stripe.com/14A5kC3Od5d21Ms7zPdEs09Ashton's YT Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UCHmFQzkpaJBSDD1PPFhPPSg 00:00 Go!

  • Zero-Point Energy Unifies Physics - Nassim Haramein, DemystifySci #357
    Aug 17 2025

    Nassim Haramein, mathematical physicist and director of the International Space Federation, has spent three decades chasing the holy grail of science — unifying quantum mechanics and general relativity. Building on Einstein and Rosen’s 1930s equations, wormholes, and failed proton radius predictions, Haramein claims a simple tweak unlocks the secrets of the proton, the strong force, gravity, and the fluid dynamics of spacetime itself. In this conversation, we explore zero-point energy, the quantum vacuum, and a vision for future technologies rooted in a unified theory of physics.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showOUR HOMEBREWED MUSICCheck out our band's new album:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-hereVinyl pre-orders available now: https://buy.stripe.com/14A5kC3Od5d21Ms7zPdEs09Follow Nassim at https://spacefed.com/00:00 Go!

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.
