  • 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.

  • Science of Spectral Analysis
    May 5 2024

    Join us for the 80th episode of the Hyperthesis as we discuss everything from spectroscopy and water walkers to a poem about spectres. Patrick talks about a spectroscopy conference he attended recently while Liam discusses a paper about bugs on top of water and how that relates to micro plastics. Finally, Pheely sends us off with some etymology and a poem.

  • The Ethical Dilemmas of Artificial Intelligence with David Eliot
    Apr 27 2024

    Join the Hyperthesis team (including Patrick this time) as we welcome our guest David Eliot, a PhD student at the University of Ottawa. David researches the social impact of artificial intelligence along with the idea of a data economy. We discuss the intricacies of what is needed to train popular AI models while also touching on the social aspects of using AI programs and how our data is used. Before then, we discuss the use of machine learning in spectral imaging and end with a story about the history of research in AI.

  • Two Theorists on a Random Walk
    Apr 20 2024

    In this episode of the Hyperthesis Podcast we have a more relaxed conversation in store for our listeners! We are missing 1/3 of our brainpower because Patrick is away at a conference in Spain. Lucky man! Without our favourite experimentalist to keep everything on track, Liam and Pheely decide to take a random walk through various topics ranging from logic to relativistic quantum mechanics.

  • Our Solar Eclipse Experience
    Apr 12 2024

    Join the Hyperthesis team in our discussion of the 2024 solar eclipse event that we experienced. We start with a topic of the early universe bubbling event which can create a phase transition that can be detected the upcoming space gravitational wave interferometer. Then we talk about our viewing of the eclipse, what it was really like, and how we feel about this monumental lifetime event. We ended the episode with a story of the life of Peter Higgs, the one that laid foundation for the so-called god’s particle Higgs boson. Peter Higgs recently passed away on the day of the eclipse, nevertheless, his works will be eternally remembered.

  • Once-a-Lifetime Experience of Total Solar Eclipse
    Apr 5 2024

    Join the Hyperthesis team as we discuss the upcoming total solar eclipse of 2024 in Ontario. Patrick is on a journey to see this once a lifetime event which he will be flying in from Alberta! We start this episode off by discussing putting astronomical instruments to orbit around the moon, rather than around the earth. Then we talk about how an eclipse works, and how rare the total solar eclipses are. Solar eclipses allow us to study the sun in a different way, with the assist from our very moon. We end the episode with the story of the Battle of the Eclipse during ancient Greek era.

  • Optometry and the Mechanism of Vision with Dr. Austin Farrell
    Mar 30 2024

    Join the Hyperthesis team as we welcome Dr. Austin Farrell, an optometrist based out of British Columbia. Before we delve into the biology and physics of the eye, we discuss new research around a spiral lens that could replace progressive lenses with a superior design with multiple foci. For our main topic, we discuss all things optometry with Austin . Finally, we end the story with a brief history of optics and how we've learned what we know about light and its interactions with matter.

  • Pass it On: How We Use Physics to Communicate
    Mar 22 2024

    Join the Hyperthesis team as we explore the depths of communication and the universe. To start us off, Liam introduces a theory that simulates the non-existence of dark matter and shows promise in maybe replacing it. As our main topic, we discuss a variety of ideas behind communication, include a glimpse into the past, how our current radio communication technologies function, and what the future of communication may look like. Finally, we end with a brief history of communication and the possible inventor of radio, Guglielmo Marconi.
