Can happiness be decoded in your brain? In this episode, our AI hosts explore dopamine and serotonin's dance, the brain's pleasure vs. desire circuits, and a three-tier model of happiness that spans your whole life. Drawing on four peer-reviewed neuroscience studies, we break down how your brain creates joy—and whether you can train it to feel better.Powered by NotebookLM AISources:Baixauli (2017) Happiness: Role of Dopamine and Serotonin(https://www.researchgate.net/publication/317120685_Happiness_Role_of_Dopamine_and_Serotonin_on_Mood_and_Negative_Emotions)Funahashi (2011) Brain Mechanisms of Happiness(https://www.researchgate.net/publication/274501057_Brain_mechanisms_of_happiness)Fischer & Ullsperger (2017) Serotonin & Dopamine for Reward(https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/human-neuroscience/articles/10.3389/fnhum.2017.00484/pdf)Esch (2021) ABC Model of Happiness(https://www.researchgate.net/publication/360976979_The_ABC_Model_of_Happiness-Neurobiological_Aspects_of_Motivation_and_Positive_Mood_and_Their_Dynamic_Changes_through_Practice_the_Course_of_Life)

Time travel—real possibility or sci‑fi fantasy?In this episode, our AI hosts crack open the latest physics on wormholes, spacetime loops, and cosmic time machines. Drawing on rigorous peer‑reviewed science, they examine whether time travel can exist without breaking physics — or morality.Generated entirely using Google’s NotebookLM AI — thought-provoking, citation-rich, and ready to spark cosmic debates.Sources:A Review of Stable, Traversable Wormholes in f(R) Gravity Theories (https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.05476)Traversable Wormhole Constructions(https://www.imperial.ac.uk/media/imperial-college/research-centres-and-groups/theoretical-physics/msc/dissertations/2020/Catalina-Miritescu-Dissertation.pdf)Time Travel: Separating Science Fact From Science Fiction(https://www.researchgate.net/publication/231072061_Time_travel_separating_science_fact_from_science_fiction)Traversable Wormholes via a Double Trace Deformation(https://www.researchgate.net/publication/306357606_Traversable_Wormholes_via_a_Double_Trace_Deformation)Sound Track:https://pixabay.com/music/synthwave-gta-vi-theme-music-174952/
