60 Second Theories - Paradigm Drift #5, DemystifySci

What if telepathy isn’t fantasy, but an undiscovered frontier of biophysics? In this conversation, Helené Wahbeh of the Institute of Noetic Sciences joins us to explore how mind-to-mind communication could be studied through neuroscience, quantum theory, and consciousness research. We’re not obsessed with whether it’s real — we’re asking how it would work if it were. A tightrope the edge of what's known, where psi phenomena meets mechanism and physics.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showOUR HOMEBREWED MUSIC Check out our band's new album:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-hereVinyl pre-orders available now: https://buy.stripe.com/14A5kC3Od5d21Ms7zPdEs09Follow Helenê & IONS at https://noetic.org00:00 Go!

What if Flight MH370 wasn’t just lost, but simply became hidden from view? In this episode with controversial youtuber Ashton Forbes, we take the mystery seriously: not as magic, but as a challenge to what we think we know about plasma, quantum mechanics, and fusion. The question isn’t about belief, but about possibility: if teleportation happened, what physical mechanisms could explain it? We're at the edge of reason for this one, where mystery bashes up again rationality.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showOUR HOMEBREWED MUSICCheck out our band's new album:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-hereVinyl pre-orders available now: https://buy.stripe.com/14A5kC3Od5d21Ms7zPdEs09Ashton's YT Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UCHmFQzkpaJBSDD1PPFhPPSg 00:00 Go!

Nassim Haramein, mathematical physicist and director of the International Space Federation, has spent three decades chasing the holy grail of science — unifying quantum mechanics and general relativity. Building on Einstein and Rosen’s 1930s equations, wormholes, and failed proton radius predictions, Haramein claims a simple tweak unlocks the secrets of the proton, the strong force, gravity, and the fluid dynamics of spacetime itself. In this conversation, we explore zero-point energy, the quantum vacuum, and a vision for future technologies rooted in a unified theory of physics.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showOUR HOMEBREWED MUSICCheck out our band's new album:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-hereVinyl pre-orders available now: https://buy.stripe.com/14A5kC3Od5d21Ms7zPdEs09Follow Nassim at https://spacefed.com/00:00 Go!

Filmed at DemystiCon 2025 in Portugal, Dr. C.S. Unnikrishnan, from India's Tata Institute, reveals a very different take on the nature of light. Beyond the noise of headlines and textbooks, the speed of light's measurement isn't proving to be so simple. Drawing on years at the heart of experiments that listen for the universe’s faintest signals, he questions whether the speed of light is truly constant. Here, gravity and clocks intertwine, and relativity itself stands on uncertain ground.

From the copper spines of antennas to the invisible dance of light, our conversation with Dr. Hans Schantz traces the story of physics most students never hear about. Dr. Schantz, a theoretical physicist turned engineer who studied under John Wheeler, unpacks the forgotten role of physical mediators in electromagnetism and what modern antenna design can reveal about light itself. Along the way, we wander through the epic moments of the 20th century quest for understanding light, from aether theory to pilot waves, connecting lost ideas to cutting-edge engineering. This is a signal worth listening to.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showOUR HOMEBREWED MUSICCheck out our band's new album:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-hereVinyl pre-orders available now: https://buy.stripe.com/14A5kC3Od5d21Ms7zPdEs0900:00 Go!

At "Beyond the Big Bang" 2025, Dr. Patrick Vanraes, a plasma scientist at the University of Antwerp, delivers two quiet revolts against the reigning cosmological order. In the first talk, he develops Dr. Pierre Marie Robitaille's vision of the Sun not as a chaotic gas ball, but as a layered, liquid structure—dense enough to host fusion through lattice confinement, where matter itself conspires in silence. Patrick takes Dr. Robitaille's model one step further, examining the possibility that diverse types of fusion may be occurring throughout different regions of the liquid plasma. In the second talk, Patrick takes aim at the cosmic origin of the microwave background, suggesting that what's been repeatedly called the echo of creation may instead be a local artifact—unmeasured where it matters most. Patrick doesn't reject mainstream physics—he asks physicists to look again, more carefully, and perhaps more honestly. The Q&A shows this is not the simple request it seems.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showMUSICCheck out our band's new album:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-hereVinyl pre-orders available now: https://buy.stripe.com/14A5kC3Od5d21Ms7zPdEs0900:00 Go!

The institutions are broken because their hearts are broken. In this conversation with Dr. Rick Doblin, president of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, we explore whether substances used to great effect in the treatment of PTSD can become the scalpel and the flame for stuck culture—cutting delusion, sparking communion. Physics, like politics, stalls when minds forget how to meet.

What if one of modern cosmology’s greatest triumphs was built on a false story? In this talk from DemystiCon: Beyond the Big Bang, physicist and historian of science Dr. Andre Koch Torres Assis digs deep into the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the so-called “fingerprint” of the Big Bang, and uncovers a history that challenges the dominant narrative. Contrary to popular belief, George Gamow and the Big Bang camp never predicted the CMB’s 2.7K temperature. In fact, their estimates were off by nearly an order of magnitude. Meanwhile, steady-state cosmologists consistently predicted the correct background temperature of space long before the CMB was discovered by Penzias and Wilson. The difference was that instead of searching for the birth of the universe, they were simply calculating the temperature of cold, rocky bodies absorbing and remitting distant starlight. Assis weaves together redshift anomalies, missing histories of radioastronomy, and overlooked insights from pioneers like Finlay Freundlich to show how a false myth of prediction has been used to cement the Big Bang as fact, rather than leaving open the possibility of the CMB being the signal of an eternal universe.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showMUSICCheck out our band's new album:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-hereVinyl pre-orders available now: https://buy.stripe.com/14A5kC3Od5d21Ms7zPdEs09ANDRE'S EARLIER APPEARANCES ON THE PODCAST:DemystifySci #328 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upV3ZfCEISADemystifySci #233 https://youtu.be/kGHNKORQZK8DemystifySci #204 https://youtu.be/VGql2qiRjkYANDRE'S WEBSITE: https://www.ifi.unicamp.br/~assis00:00 Go! 00:06:06 Predictions of Cosmic Background Radiation 00:12:30 The Role of Stefan-Boltzmann Law 00:18:44 Cosmic Rays and Intergalactic Space 00:24:12 Red Shift and Its Implications 00:32:22 Observations of the Sun's Red Shift 00:36:04 Freundlich's Groundbreaking Insights 00:39:08 Connection to Radio Astronomy 00:40:58 Conclusion on Cosmic Background Radiation #cosmology, #astrophysics, #spacefacts , #quantumphysics, #physics, #darkmatter, #cosmicmicrowavebackground, #spaceexploration , #spacetime, #astronomy, #relativity , #philosophypodcast , #sciencepodcast, #longformpodcast ABOUT US: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University.

Bob Greenyer is part of a dedicated crew of researchers who think they have cracked the holy grail of energy - sustainable fusion reactions that take place with ordinary elements at room temperature and pressure, with nothing but some copper wire and five volts of input. Greenyer is an active player in the emerging field of low energy nuclear reactions, has stewarded the Martin Fleischmann memorial project for many years, and is working on producing public demonstrations of plasmoid fusion devices for all those who want to come and see them in action. Much of his work is informed by an esoteric frame, where he believes that alchemists and the ancients before them left clues in their art about the architecture of the devices that are needed to pull abundant energy out of the quantum vacuum. Our conversation spans the history of fusion research, the strange findings that Greenyer is reporting, and nearly two hours of us hanging on for dear life as we try to understand the physics of what Greenyer is proposing. Buckle up, it’s a live one!PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showMUSICCheck out our band's new album:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-hereVinyl pre-orders available now: https://buy.stripe.com/14A5kC3Od5d21Ms7zPdEs0900:00 Go!
