Eigenbros ep 152 - Solvay Conference

Is this the last episode of the eigenbros??! Juan and Terence discuss the future of the channel and how the content will be changing over the next few months.

Juan, Terence, and Jackson reunite with marine biologist Jackson. They discuss several concepts related to biology

Juan and Terence invite guest Harold Sonny White who is responsible for writing the paper on the Alcubierre White warp drive. The Alcubierre metric was made practical by Sonny White after modifying the ship geometry into a torus. This reduced the required energy to bend spacetime by several orders of magnitude bringing this theoretical novelty closer to reality.

Juan & Terence discuss what the STEM job market is like and some of the things to look out for when applying for jobs.

Juan & Terence discuss the arguably most important physics conference ever held. The fifth Solvay conference of 1927 had some of the heaviest hitters in physics at the time. Albert Einstein, Neils Bohr, Erwin Schrodinger, Paul Dirac, Werner Heisenberg, Madame Curie, and many more

This week the eigenbros discuss computational physics and what it entails with regards to subject material. They discuss different models including the Monte Carlo Method and Lagrange Interpolation.

Juan & Terence debunk the myth that it takes a genius to do physics.

Juan & Terence discuss Roger Penrose's theory for what happened before the Big Bang, known as Conformal Cyclic Cosmology

Juan & Terence have Sam Dietterich on to discuss Quantum Field Theory, Self Learnng, and more.

Juan & Terence discuss Quantum Gravity and what it means to quantize a theory of gravity. Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity are two of the most robust theories of physics but they are incompatible currently. It is presumed that a complete theory of everything will be a theory of quantum gravity.
