  • Give Us Some Space (Exploration)!
    Jun 1 2024

    Space! The final frontier. Join the Hyperthesis team on our one hour mission to explore space and what the future of space exploration holds for humanity. Before delving into the topic of space exploration, including the why and how, Liam shares his thoughts on the recent Canadian Association of Physicists Congress, including some great presentations and the quality of the food. Pheely ends off the episode with a story about Voyager and just how we keep it going and when it might die.

  • Can Biology be Quantum? Also... Dancing Raisins
    May 24 2024

    Join the Pheely, Liam, and Patrick for episode 82 of The Hyperthesis podcast! In this episode we discuss the field of Quantum biology which proposes that certain functions in living organisms may only be explained through quantum mechanics. Some particular examples that are covered include our sense of vision and smell, enzyme catalysis inside of the cells of organisms, and the ability for birds to detect magnetic fields through quantum entanglement. Before this, we discuss a paper that studies raisin dynamics in a carbonated beverage (yes, we know this sounds weird), and after we end the episode with some history about biological taxonomy.

  • Understanding Nature Through Statistics with Dr. Jonathon Riddell
    May 10 2024

    Join the Pheely, Liam, and Patrick as they welcome Dr. Jonathon Riddell to the show. Johnathon is a quantum many-body physicist at the University of Birmingham in the UK who studies the foundations of statistical mechanics. We dive into everything from thermalization and quantum many bodies to how chaotic systems can be described as we explore the complex research involved in Jonathon's work. Before then, Pheely looks at aging in glass and Patrick ends the episode with the history of thermodynamics.
