Welcome to the Hyperthesis, where this week, we welcome special guest Billy Sievers. Billy is a Ph.D Student at McMaster University studying self-intersecting surfaces inside black holes and connections to quantum gravity. Before we dive into his research (and get a fun quiz on dimensions), Liam tells us about a trinary black hole system and it's discovery and chaos. Patrick ends the episode with a cosmology-adjacent person, Hendrik Lorentz.

Join Patrick, Pheely, Liam, and special guest Jean-Marie Coquillat as we explore the depths of dark matter detection. After discussing the current state of the art of dark matter detectors at SNOLAB, we speak with Jean-Marie about his current research on the NEWS-G dark matter detector. Jean-Marie speaks about how the detector operates and how he is working on rejecting background noise the limits of dark matter detection are pushed. He also delves into other research related to his current PhD research at Queen's University. Finally, Liam ends the episode with a story about the driving force behind SNOLAB, Canadian Nobel Laureate Dr. Arthur B. McDonald.

Celebrate with the Hyperthesis as we discuss the Nobel Prizes awarded in Physics, Chemistry, and Medicine and Physiology for 2024. We delve into the meaning and controversy behind the prizes, especially discussing the foundations of AI. Before then, we discuss the history-making landing performed by SpaceX as they caught part of the largest rocket ever as it landed back on Earth. We mention the Ig-Nobel prize before providing a brief history of the Physics Nobel prize winners, John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton.

Join Patrick, Pheely, and Liam as we recap our summer of research as we start our seventh season of the Hyperthesis. We provide updates about our summer, going a little bit in depth from everything we did. This includes using dams as inspiration for ultracold atom theory, creating digital twins of forests, and talking about the publication from some of our hosts and past guests. We end the episode with an update from the world of science over the summer.

Join the Hyperthesis team as we wrap up our sixth season for a summer break filled with research and travel. To start, we discuss a publication put out by Pheely based on work done during his Master's degree. He goes into the intricacies of clustering and the idea of no free lunch as he examines trade-offs of clustering and avoiding clustering. As we segue into our main topic, we discuss the details around the scientific method and how it differs from what people are taught. We also delve into the philosophy surrounding creating hypothesis and theories, and how we know where to start doing research. Finally, Liam ends with a story on Unruh and his discovery of analogue gravity.

Space! The final frontier. Join the Hyperthesis team on our one hour mission to explore space and what the future of space exploration holds for humanity. Before delving into the topic of space exploration, including the why and how, Liam shares his thoughts on the recent Canadian Association of Physicists Congress, including some great presentations and the quality of the food. Pheely ends off the episode with a story about Voyager and just how we keep it going and when it might die.

Join the Pheely, Liam, and Patrick for episode 82 of The Hyperthesis podcast! In this episode we discuss the field of Quantum biology which proposes that certain functions in living organisms may only be explained through quantum mechanics. Some particular examples that are covered include our sense of vision and smell, enzyme catalysis inside of the cells of organisms, and the ability for birds to detect magnetic fields through quantum entanglement. Before this, we discuss a paper that studies raisin dynamics in a carbonated beverage (yes, we know this sounds weird), and after we end the episode with some history about biological taxonomy.

Join the Pheely, Liam, and Patrick as they welcome Dr. Jonathon Riddell to the show. Johnathon is a quantum many-body physicist at the University of Birmingham in the UK who studies the foundations of statistical mechanics. We dive into everything from thermalization and quantum many bodies to how chaotic systems can be described as we explore the complex research involved in Jonathon's work. Before then, Pheely looks at aging in glass and Patrick ends the episode with the history of thermodynamics.
