James Ellias is a mathematician, philosopher, and the host of the YouTube channel @Inductica where he explores new approaches to old problems in fundamental physics. Our conversation moves like a late-night reflection, looking for the quiet engine beneath light, charge, and everything that flickers through the invisible world of quantum physics. James questions the habits of modern thought, peeling things back to the core to ask what truly acts and what merely appears. Older ways of thinking surface, offering clarity where familiar models feel thin. Together, we gaze upon the machinery of existence and consider what might really be at work beneath the math.

The universe hums a low, steady note...or so we were told. Dr. Patrick Vanraes, a plasma physicist from the University of Antwerp, joins us in that quiet static, where light and truth blur at the edges. We talk of cosmic beginnings, instrument design, of warmth beneath the skies, of radio echoes mistaken for the birth of everything. In that hum, between curiosity and doubt, the cosmos seems to ask who’s really paying attention.

CORRECTION NOTE: Dr. Robitaille wishes it to be known that when he says "titanium" on our phone call he should have said "titanium dioxide."

DemystifySci is the place where we bring people together in search of the theories that will change the world, and Paradigm Drift is your chance to have a hand in that future. Theorists, randomly chosen, get 60 seconds to present their revolutionary idea... and then we see if it's gonna stand the test of time or if it's back into the tank for a little while longer. This video is a compilation of champions from the most recent 2.5 hour live show.

Next live taping, PD#8, will be 12/5 @ 5pm Pacific. Sign up now: https://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show.

ABOUS US: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University. When not talking to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time painting, reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Shilo also did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of molecular water. When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various universities.
