Men Lie. Women Lie. Numbers Don’t. We live in an age that has lost its bearings. We are told that "truth is relative," that morality is fluid, and that we are the sole architects of our own reality. Yet, despite having more freedom than any generation in history, we feel more anxious, more confused, and more spiritually adrift than ever. Why? Because we have ignored the fundamental laws of existence. In Numbers Don’t Lie, author Ignatius West offers a revolutionary approach to the spiritual life: using the unchangeable certainty of mathematics to reveal the eternal truths of the soul. ...

See the world in a completely new way as an esteemed mathematician shows how math powers the world—from technology to health care and beyond. Almost all of us have sat in a math class, wondering when we'd ever need to know how to find the roots of a polynomial or graph imaginary numbers. And...

In his soft yet captivating voice, award-winning actor Tony Shalhoub (Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Monk) calmly tells the tale of how the ancient Greeks formalized the study of mathematics based on Phoenician teachings.

The legendary bestseller that encouraged millions of readers to look at the hidden side of everything 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? These may not sound like typical...

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.

Join us as we dive into electromagnetic interference monitoring, a non-intrusive way to detect partial discharge long before heat or vibration give it away. We'll explain how nanosecond RF emissions from tiny voids in insulation create repeatable signatures detectable by HFCT sensors, and how phase-aligned patterns separate signal from noise. We'll show the economic case for early detection—saving outages and millions—and how data fusion with thermal and vibration data delivers precise condition-based maintenance.Note: This podcast was AI-generated, and sometimes AI can make mistakes. ...

We trace the accidental discovery of mirror neurons by Rizzolatti and Gallese, explain how these cells fire both when you act and when you observe the same action, and explore how this “neural rehearsal” supports understanding intention and empathy. From the inferior frontal and parietal areas to Broca’s area and the somatosensory cortex, we discuss how humans turn observation into shared reality, revisit classic grasp-to-eat versus grasp-to-place experiments, and consider provocative ideas about language and self-awareness, including Ramachandran’s introspection hypothesis.Note: This ...

Send us a text! (US messaging rates apply)Whenever Vanessa talks to math educator and coach Shelby Strong, they end up saying "why didn't we record that, it was basically a podcast!" So today we bring you an actual podcast with Shelby, exploring an absolutely bonkers range of provocative questions like:What’s the danger of defining your self-worth by being good at one thing?When does enthusiasm/passion cross the line into gatekeeping?Why are we vilifying algorithms right now?Why do we shame teachers for just trying their best?Why is systemic change so hard to enact and adapt to?What does ...

In this episode of Now I Get It, I take a hard, compassionate look at one of the most tragic patterns I see in relationships: what I call the death spiral. It’s the painful process where two people genuinely love each other, yet slowly drift apart—not because love is gone, but because it’s never truly felt. I explain how our personalities shape the way we give and receive love, and why so many couples unknowingly miss each other despite constant effort.I walk through how this spiral begins with good intentions, escalates through frustration and withdrawal, and often ends quietly—when ...

Numbers. Like the alphabet, they’re one of the most elementary of concepts learned and memorized at a young age; but outside of figuring out tips and taxes, you probably haven’t given much thought to them since then. To a mathematician, every number has its own unique properties and personality - and when studied, played with, and manipulated, numbers can actually be tons of fun.

Erno Rubik was a child when he first became obsessed with puzzles of all kinds. "Puzzles", he writes, "bring out important qualities in each of us: concentration, curiosity, a sense of play, the eagerness to discover a solution". To Rubik, puzzles aren't just games - they're creativity machines. He encourages us to embrace our inner curiosity and find the puzzles that surround us in our everyday lives. "If you are determined, you will solve them", he writes. Rubik's own puzzle, the Cube, has been solved by millions worldwide for more than 40 years....

In this conversation, the discussion with C. Thi Nguyen revolves around the nature of metrics, qualitative knowledge, and the duality of scoring systems, particularly in the context of climbing. The speaker shares personal experiences with climbing as a case study to illustrate how scoring systems can both enhance and detract from the experience. The conversation delves into the beauty of climbing, the subtlety of value in metrics, and the importance of savoring moments in games. It also explores the tension between purpose and game mechanics, the role of enjoyment, and the complexities of ...

In this episode, Kathy sits down with Vinayasri Nidadavolu, a specialist engineer in offshore wind energy at Siemens Energy.
