• Vortex Aether Model of Quantum Physics - Dmitrii Osenilo, DemystifySci #402
    Feb 18 2026

    In part two of our conversation with Dmitry Osenilo, we dive deeper into his gaseous aether model and its attempt to unify light, electromagnetism, and gravity through hydrodynamics. Photons become vortex streets, electric and magnetic fields reduce to pressure gradients and rotational flow, and gravity emerges from thermodynamic imbalance in a compressible medium. Rather than treating fields as abstract entities, this framework insists on mechanical motion, viscosity, density, and conserved flow as the true foundations of physical law. It is a wager that if nature makes sense, it will do so in motion you can picture, not symbols you must accept.Part 1: https://youtu.be/eGBmuwI7X6IPATREON 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 Would a Serious Aether Theory Look Like? - Dmitrii Osenilo, DemystifySci #401
    Feb 15 2026

    This episode asks a simple question: if forces act, what is actually moving? Physicist Dmitrii Osenilo revives a gaseous aether model built from hydrodynamics, vortex motion, and mechanical principles rather than abstract fields. Light, charge, and spin are reframed as structured flows in a compressible medium, with Maxwell’s equations emerging from fluid dynamics instead of postulated forces. It is an argument that physics should not stop at mathematics, but push toward a coherent, visualizable account of what the vacuum is made of and how it moves.Part 2: https://youtu.be/7F9bwPm_iQMPATREON 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!

  • Rethinking Spin, Light and Gravity - Dr. Robert Close, DemystifySci #399
    Feb 10 2026

    This conversation follows a simple insistence: if physics describes the world, it should also describe what is physically moving. Dr. Robert Close lays out a material, elastic picture of reality where quantum spin, torsion, and angular momentum emerge from deformations of an elastic substrate. Light, charge, and gravity follow as natural consequences. Rather than treating equations as final answers, the discussion asks what atomic-scale landscape could make those equations true. It’s an attempt to return physics to mechanism, material, and the courage to hypothesize on what the math and experiments actually mean.PATREON 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-showROBERT CLOSE'S WEBSITE: https://classicalmatter.org/00:00 Go!

  • 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.
