In this episode, we talk about detecting the graviton. We talk about what the graviton is, have a recap of the fundamental forces, and talk about why its so difficult to detect a single graviton. We delve into the technology required to detect them, and why we can't develop it yet.
In this episode, we discussed the vast amount of data collected by big tech companies such as Meta and Google. We discuss the implications of this data collection, and the ethical impact of it too. We then move on to talk about current examples, such as Tiktok's lawsuit in the US, and think about ways data collection and privacy could be protected for the consumer in the future.
In this episode, we go through the different types of artificial intelligence, going through deep learning and machine learning, as well as Artificial General Intelligence and Artificial Super Intelligence. We also discuss generative AI and how rapidly it is changing every day, with the example of OpenAI's Sora model. Finally, we discuss the history and future of AI.

In this episode, we talk about a new form of magnetism - altermagnetism. This form of magnetism has huge applications to technology, with the potential to revolutionise RAM and change the way technology is developed.
Pictures talked about in this episode
In this episode, we talk about CRISPR - a technology designed to cut and edit DNA like editing text. We also briefly delve into other topics such as updates on Neuralink and technologies such as Flipper Zero.
In this episode, we talk about the release of Apple Vision Pro; Apple's latest and greatest product. We talk about the specifications, what the device actually is, and we discuss our thoughts on the future of computing. We also discuss the growing literal invasion of computing, with the likes of Neuralink gaining speed.
In this episode, we talked about Clive Wearing, a man who had damage to his temporal lobes and his frontal lobe, meaning he had both retrograde and anterograde amnesia. We discussed our thoughts on what he could be feeling, as well as how his everyday life would be effected.
In this episode, we talked about the use of robotics in healthcare. We discussed our thoughts on having a robotic operation done, as well as the future of healthcare due to AI and robotics. We also discussed a recent discovery from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where an autonomous needle was able to navigate anatomical obstacles while performing an operation, through the use of AI and robotics.
In this episode, we take a whistle-stop tour through the world of particle physics, starting with the Standard Model. We then talk about the Muon G-2 Experiment, its history and how the experiment is conducted. Finally we talk about the implications of the experiment, and what the results mean.

In this episode we talk about the Origins of Life and how DNA might have come about by RNA slowly evolving. We talk about how feasible this theory is, and the reasons it may or may not be true.
Enjoy!
In this episode we talk about OpenAI's DevDay, and all the products they announced, as well as how their products, including GPTs, work. We explained some concepts behind GPTs, including tokens and parameters, as well as talking about the World AI Summit and about AI in Education.
In this episode, we discuss the Unity Game Engine, and their recent changes to their subscription model for developers. We discussed how it negatively affects developers, and also discussed the reasons Unity may have done this, especially following similar movements from X (Twitter) and Reddit.
Enjoy!
In this episode, we talk about Neuralink, the company founded by Elon Musk to eventually insert a chip into the human brain. We talk about potential benefits to health as well as the impact in terms of ethics and privacy this device could have on society
Enjoy!
In this episode, we talk about the Stanford Prison Experiment, and how Dr Philip Zimbardo selected 24 men to be prisoners and prison guards, to measure the effects of being in prison on these men.
Enjoy!
In today's episode, we talk about the superconductor and the physics behind how they work, from the Bose-Einstein condensate to Cooper Pairs, as well as the controversy of the LK99 superconductor and practical applications of superconductors.
Enjoy!
