A data-driven, scientific account of our need for speed—exploring a wide range of topics including evolution, transportation, and technology In a world obsessed with efficiency, perhaps nothing is valued as highly as being fast. Some of our greatest achievements include building planes that...

This audiobook is about luck, or more precisely, how we perceive and deal with luck in life and business. It is already a landmark work, and its title has entered our vocabulary. In its second edition, Fooled by Randomness is now a cornerstone for anyone interested in random outcomes.

You have read the headlines. Quantum computing will crack today’s encryption. It will simulate molecules no supercomputer can touch. It will solve optimization problems that have stumped logistics networks for decades. Every time you try to follow the explanation, the jargon arrives like a wall — qubits, superposition, decoherence, entanglement — and the tab gets closed. Meanwhile, the boardrooms, research labs, and defense agencies that understand this technology are already making decisions that will reshape your industry, your data, and your career. The gap between those who ...

The legendary bestseller that encouraged millions of readers to look at the hidden side of everything | Read by author Stephen J. Dubner! Which is more dangerous: a gun or a swimming pool? Why do drug dealers still live with their moms? What do real estate agents and the KKK have in common?...

In Waves in an Impossible Sea, physicist Matt Strassler tells a startling tale of elementary particles, human experience, and empty space. He begins with a simple mystery of motion. When we drive at highway speeds with the windows down, the wind beats against our faces. Yet our planet hurtles through the cosmos at 150 miles per second, and we feel nothing of it. How can our voyage be so tranquil when, as Einstein discovered, matter warps space, and space deflects matter? The answer, Strassler reveals, is that empty space is a sea, albeit a paradoxically strange one.

Join mathematician Professor Hannah Fry and science creator Michael Stevens (Vsauce) as they dig into the weird scientific questions that often go unexplored. Welcome to The Rest Is Science, a show that sits in the fascinating space between what we think we know, and what we actually know. Why do we assume we understand things like time, randomness, or even gravity? Once you start questioning these familiar ideas, reality becomes astonishingly strange and completely fragile. Whether you're a lifelong science fan or just naturally curious, The Rest Is Science will change your perception of ...

The machines are already improving themselves. You just have not been told how fast. In the spring of 2026, Claude began writing between seventy and ninety percent of the code used to train its own next version. AlphaEvolve spent over a year optimizing the training process for the very models that powered it, recovering enough wasted compute across Google's global fleet to power a small country's worth of servers. OpenAI's Codex debugged the training pipeline that produced it. And a 630-line Python script showed that anyone with a single GPU could run autonomous AI research experiments ...

The Mathematics of Music Explained: Rhythm, Harmony, Tuning Systems, Wave Frequencies, Acoustics, and the Hidden Structure of Sound reveals the powerful numerical framework beneath every melody, chord, and beat. From vibrating strings to digital streaming platforms, music is built on ratios, frequencies, logarithms, and patterns. This book uncovers how rhythm reflects mathematical subdivisions of time, how harmony emerges from frequency ratios, and how tuning systems balance pure intervals with practical flexibility. Whether you are a musician, composer, student, audio engineer, or lifelong...

We break down Google's Gemini Omni—the shift from pixel-predicting video generators to world-model AI that fuses language reasoning with physical simulation. Learn how OmniFlash optimizes for fast, physics-consistent clips, how conversational editing translates spoken prompts into cinematic edits, and how cryptographic SynthID watermarking helps keep AI-created media accountable. Explore the implications for media production, education, and our sense of truth in a world where reality can be generated on the fly.Note: This podcast was AI-generated, and sometimes AI can make mistakes. ...

Giles Corey was an English-born farmer who was "pressed to death" for refusing to enter a plea during the notorious Salem Witch Trials in 1692. His wife Martha was one of fourteen women hanged after the trials. This verse drama was written in 1868 and published as one of Longfellow's New England Tragedies. (Summary by Alan Mapstone) Cast List: Prologue: Alan Mapstone Giles Corey: Brian Fullen Martha(his wife): ShrimpPhish John Hathorne(Magistrate): Larry Wilson Cotton Mather(Minister): Greg Giordano Jonathan Walcot: Brian Fullen Mary Walcot: Agnes Robert Behr Tituba(Indian Woman): Michele ...

In the 1920s physicists had rejected half of the solutions of the fundamental equations of the universe, since they imply retrocausality and the possibility of perpetual motion. Analysing the properties of the solutions that had been discarded the mathematician Luigi Fantappiè noticed that they explain the mysteries of biology, such as energy concentration, the increase in differentiation, complexity and order and he coined the term syntropy (combining the Greek words syn=converging and tropos=tendency). Syntropy is capable of unifying different scientific disciplines in a harmonic way, ...

Now in audio - a fascinating work of popular science from a world-renowned expert on mosquitoes and a prize-winning reporter. In this lively and comprehensive portrait of the mosquito, its role in history, and its threat to mankind, Spielman and D'Antonio take a mosquito's-eye view of nature and man. They show us how mosquitoes breed, live, mate, and die and introduce us to their enemies, both natural and man-made.
