  • Ancient Power Grid at Giza? – Geoffrey Drumm, DemystifySci #398
    Feb 6 2026

    What powered the pyramids has always been the missing question. In this second part of our conversation with Geoffrey Drumm, @thelandofchem , explore a provocative but physically grounded idea: that ancient Egyptian structures tapped into natural electricity: earth currents, lightning, and conductive geology. They channeled this electricity to drive large-scale chemical processes at the pyramids, which we discussed in Part 1. Drawing on field evidence, climate history, and experimental modeling, the discussion reframes Giza not as a ceremonial site, but as an engineered landscape tuned to environmental energy. If this view is even partly correct, it suggests ancient technology didn’t fight nature for power...it listened to it.Part 1: https://youtu.be/7vuo5dl5bF4PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADOX LOST PRE-SALE: https://buy.stripe.com/7sY7sKdoN5d29eUdYddEs0bHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-herePARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Go!

  • The Pyramids Were Machines – Geoffrey Drumm, DemystifySci #397
    Feb 2 2026

    What if the pyramids were never meant to be tombs at all? In today's conversation with Geoffrey Drumm, @thelandofchem , we explore a radical but physically grounded hypothesis: that ancient Egyptian pyramids functioned as industrial machines, integrating chemistry, pressure, materials science, and natural electricity at monumental scale. Drawing on experimental models, geological evidence, and global architectural parallels, the discussion reframes ancient civilization not as primitive or symbolic, but as deeply practical and technologically fluent. If true, this view doesn’t romanticize the past, it forces us to reconsider how much functional knowledge about nature has been lost, misclassified, or misunderstood.Part 2: https://youtu.be/gTNB3yHMNIcPATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADOX LOST PRE-SALE: https://buy.stripe.com/7sY7sKdoN5d29eUdYddEs0bHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-herePARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Go!

  • The Entropy of Intelligence Means That Systems Without Stories Collapse
    Jan 29 2026

    In this second part of our conversation with OSU Project Narrative Professor Angus Fletcher, intelligence is reframed not as calculation, but as the ability to adapt when plans fail and certainty collapses. Drawing from special operations training, neuroscience, and narrative theory, the episode shows why imagination, not optimization, is what keeps humans functional under pressure. The discussion moves from elite decision-making to science, culture, and personal identity, revealing how rigid thinking quietly breaks in the real world. It’s a practical and philosophical exploration of why imagination is the missing ingredient when intelligence alone isn’t enough.Part 1: https://youtu.be/LRzW-J5vFc0PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADOX LOST PRE-SALE: https://buy.stripe.com/7sY7sKdoN5d29eUdYddEs0bHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-herePARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Go!

  • What are electricity and light, really? – Dr. Daniel Whiteson (CERN, LHC), DemystifySci #394
    Jan 27 2026

    In this second part of our conversation with CERN & LHC particle physicist and UC Irvine professor of physics and astronomy Daniel Whiteson, we move from abstract questions to concrete examples, asking what electricity, magnetism, and light might actually be doing in the physical world. Rather than treating forces as symbols in equations, we explore whether they can be understood as real interactions, actions, or material processes unfolding beneath the math. The discussion ranges from fields and particles to emergence, scale, and why so many explanations stop just short of physical clarity. We are trying to picture what’s happening when the universe acts, while refusing to let understanding end where calculation succeeds.

  • How crazy ideas survive contact with experts– Dr. Angus Fletcher, DemystifySci #395
    Jan 27 2026

    This episode explores why bold ideas so often fail not because they’re wrong, but because they collide with expert identity, status, and narrative inertia. Drawing on Professor Angus Fletcher’s work across literature, neuroscience, and elite military training, the conversation reveals how resistance forms...and how it can be softened without surrendering truth. We learn why timing, framing, and emotional security matter more than raw correctness when challenging entrenched thinkers. It’s a practical guide for theorists, researchers, and creators who want their ideas to survive first contact and actually be heard.

  • Physics doesn’t have to make sense? – Dr. Daniel Whiteson (CERN, LHC), DemystifySci #393
    Jan 18 2026

    In this conversation with CERN, LHC particle physicist and UC Irvine professor of physics and astronomy Daniel Whiteson, we ask a deceptively simple question: when the math works, is that really enough to understand physical reality? Modern physics predicts the universe with astonishing accuracy, yet often sets aside the deeper question of what its equations actually describe in the material world. Moving between poetry and precision, we explore where explanation ends, where intuition fails, and why humans keep reaching for meaning beneath the symbols. This is a discussion about physics, but also about sense-making itself ... about whether understanding is optional, or essential, to knowing where we stand in the universe.Part 2: https://youtu.be/md8SIlIZzZ0PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADOX LOST PRE-SALE: https://buy.stripe.com/7sY7sKdoN5d29eUdYddEs0bHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-herePARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Go!

  • When Cosmology Refuses to Do Physics – Dr. Brian Keating, DemystifySci #392
    Jan 11 2026

    In this unedited, on-site conversation with cosmologist Dr. Brian Keating, we examine what counts as evidence in modern physics by pressing on one of cosmology’s most trusted observations: the cosmic microwave background. The discussion centers on a core tension between measurement and interpretation—specifically whether a near-perfect black body spectrum can reasonably be attributed to an early-universe plasma. As assumptions about the Big Bang, black body radiation, and material physics are questioned, the exchange becomes increasingly uncomfortable, revealing how deeply theoretical commitments shape scientific judgment. What emerges is not a verdict, but a rare, unfiltered look at how evidence, authority, and first principles collide in contemporary physics.

  • What's Changing Human Evolution? - Dr. Liane Gabora (Part 2) , DemystifySci #391
    Jan 8 2026

    The future of human evolution will not be decided by genes alone, but by meaning, choice, and culture itself. In this Part 2 of our conversation, Dr. Liane Gabora (University of British Columbia) explores how ideas evolve through creativity, cooperation, and intentional change rather than blind copying. We examine why cultures fracture, recombine, and sometimes collapse. And how concepts behave more like dynamic systems than fixed beliefs. What emerges is a vision of human evolution driven by minds in relationship, where the next phase depends less on survival and more on how we choose to think.Part 1: https://youtu.be/8mnHM7lyfOEPATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-here00:00 Go!
