  • Scientific Method in Theoretical Physics
    Jun 8 2024

    Join the Hyperthesis team as we wrap up our sixth season for a summer break filled with research and travel. To start, we discuss a publication put out by Pheely based on work done during his Master's degree. He goes into the intricacies of clustering and the idea of no free lunch as he examines trade-offs of clustering and avoiding clustering. As we segue into our main topic, we discuss the details around the scientific method and how it differs from what people are taught. We also delve into the philosophy surrounding creating hypothesis and theories, and how we know where to start doing research. Finally, Liam ends with a story on Unruh and his discovery of analogue gravity.

  • 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.
