    S2 Ep5: Deepland Rescue, Episode 5: Primal Energy 1
    Feb 14 2023
    Primal Energy is developed in stages.  The first stage is to quantify substance taken in by one cycle of expansion in which the radius increases by C, corresponding to one unit of time by the master clock.  Pythagorean Allocation is first introduced in this section to partition the bundle into separate bundles of the same length but with individual cross-sectional areas.

  • S2 Ep4: Deepland Rescue Episode 4: Transcendent Depth

    S2 Ep4: Deepland Rescue Episode 4: Transcendent Depth
    Feb 7 2023
    Episode 4 explores major Deepland implications of the first two concepts described in previous episodes - primal expansion and angular location. The transformation from Flatlanders on the surface of Sphereland to Poppers immersed in Deepland  was enabled by a paradigm shift to the view that spirituality is rooted in a transcendent realm of physicality.  With just these two concepts it is possible to understand what went wrong in the initial Flatlander response to their equivalent of Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity.

  • S2 Ep3: Deepland Rescue: Light-Speed Alignments

    S2 Ep3: Deepland Rescue: Light-Speed Alignments
    Jan 31 2023
    This episode describes four vital alignments that occur by calibrating radial expansion in Bickham’s setup to the speed of light measured in our universe.  Also described is the essential departure from vector-space thought that opens the path to Popper understanding of light propagation in Deepland.   In these discussions we can sense and appreciate the beginning of a vector-space thought-path that parallels our spacetime viewpoint.

    S2 Ep2: Bickham's Study Setup
    Oct 31 2022
    In this episode, our crew of characters - Burr, Bickham, Old Billy, Paleg, and GreaPaw - work through a description of Bickham’s setup for exploring Deepland behavior. It begins with imagining a Flatlander atom on the surface of Sphereland - the balloon-like membrane of an expanding sphere.

  • S2 Ep2: Deepland and the Poppers

    S2 Ep2: Deepland and the Poppers
    Oct 3 2022
    This second episode of season 2 begins this fantasy story with its cast of inner characters:  Bickham, Old Billy (the dog), Paleg (the mountain lion), Burr (the narrator and host’s avatar) and GreaPaw (pronounced ‘gray-paw’) who brought the story into existence.  The crew tells us about Bickham’s surprising dream-travel to  Deepland, a parallel universe with inhabitants called Poppers.  Here the story begins of the five concepts of physicality and mathematics that are known by Poppers but missing in the stories of People.  This episode ends with a simple demonstration that hints of almost every one of those five concepts. Old Billy calls it the string-thing which, by the way, bears no relation to string theory in physics.

    Deepland is a sequel (with a twist) to the Flatland -> Sphereland sequel of Edwin Abbott (Flatland, 1884) and Dionys Burger (Sphereland, 1965).  Old Billy especially enjoys the twist, which is revealed in this episode.

  • S2 Ep1: Intro to Deepland - A Rescue Story

    S2 Ep1: Intro to Deepland - A Rescue Story
    Sep 26 2022
    Introduction to the second season of the Toy-Physics podcast. The story in this second season - Deepland, a Rescue Story - can be thought of as a sequel to the historical fantasy stories Flatland, a Romance of Many Dimensions (Edwin Abbott, 1884) and Sphereland, a Fantasy About Curve Spaces & and Expanding Universe (Dionys Burger, 1965).  The full story - with additional materials - is told in a website blog -- (See https://www.toy-physics.net/deepland)

    S1 Ep8: Episode 8: Season 1 Conclusion
    Mar 20 2022
    Episode 8 is the concluding episode of Season 1, intended to give a non-technical overview of the book Toy-Physics: a Foundation for Faith, Hope and Renewal.  This episode gives a summary that leads to a single focused idea - that human spirituality is rooted in transcendent physicality - a cosmic web beneath the sensory surface of the directions we can point with our senses or sensing instruments.
