Needle in the Hay Sense-Making - Drs. M.S. DeLay & A.V. Bendebury DSPod #267
The last few weeks we've had some really explosive theories on the show, which have caused a stir in the comments and beyond. We sit down to talk about the philosophy behind why we believe exploring far out theories is so important, and use Paul Feyerabend's Against Method as the backbone for our discussion. We introduce the idea of scientific anarchy, which encourages us to lean into the uncomfortable reality that ideas cannot be prized simply because of their age, or their apparent agreement with existing data. The history of science is littered with theories that were wrong but useful, detectors that are engineered to give us the results we are expecting, and the weighty knowledge that the absence of evidence tells us nothing about what we'll find when we take a closer look at the inner workings of nature.

PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University. When not talking to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time painting, reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Shilo also did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of molecular water. When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various universities.

Did Earth Start as a Gas Giant?
Did the Earth start out as a gas giant? It sounds crazy, but there's a bunch of problems with the theory of plate tectonics - why are the oceans only 200 million years old? Why do the continents fit together better on a globe that's 80% smaller in diameter? What's the mechanism for all that movement? There are good reasons to believe the Earth used to be smaller, so while we figure them out we go to the Glass Forge for a MOLTEN GLASS demo of what an "Expanding Earth" could have looked like... and even do a calculation to show a very reasonable atmospheric height that's sufficient to crush the Earth down to half its present volume.

Special thanks to Jeffrey Wolynski, who first brought the Earth-as-Gas-Giant idea into our field of view. It has also been popularized by the 20th century Soviet scientist Oparin and the NYU grad student Anthony Abruzzo (https://www.gsjournal.net/Science-Journals-Papers/Author/274/Anthony%20J.,%20Abruzzo).

What if all professions took the Hippocratic Oath?
Why don't all professions take the hippocratic oath? Why doesn't everyone promise to do no harm as they move through the world? Wouldn't the world be a better place if they did? Turns out the story is a little more complicated than that. How do you define harm? Can you actually teach people to be ethical? And if you could, what would that world look like?

You're Wrong About What's Going to Kill You
Most of what humans do is about risk - but most of the time, you're wrong about what's going to kill you. This is because humans are afraid of things on a deep, evolutionary level - we want to avoid the things that can wipe out the tribe at all costs... even if that means giving up what the tribe stands for in the process.
Luckily, though, there are ways to deal with this. Are you ready to be stronger than your reptile brain fears?

A Billion Years is Missing
The Great Unconformity is a gap in the geologic record thought to represent 6km of missing rock. This video is all about the planetary and celestial catastrophes that could have erased all that stone from the face of the Earth, and started life as we know it.

Why Math Can't Solve (most) Problems
Have you heard the big lie? That Math is the Language of the Universe? It's everywhere - in books, magazines, lecture halls, television shows. On the surface, it seems innocuous, even benign - a piece of poetry written to the elegance of equations. From Micky's point of view, though, the persistent myth threatens the very fabric of human survival.

Alien Explains Why You're Better Off Alone
This week, we stepped off the spaceship to find how how humans feel about the work toward a pill that can cure loneliness. We also speak with neuroscientist Moriel Zelikowsky about the basic brain science of social isolation. Micky and Quinn argue about the utility in loneliness. Like it or hate it, this pill can cure your loneliness.

To Be Human is To Be Hypnotized - The Adaptive Role of the Trance
Support us by becoming a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/demystifysci
Is it possible to be human, to enjoy a movie, dance, or story - without going under at least a little bit? Probably not, since to be human is to be hypnotized... at least a little bit. In this episode, we explore the nature of hypnotism. Why did organisms evolve this strange behavior, anyways?
Don’t forget to check out the full interview with hypnotist Kevin Stone all about the role of hypnosis in society at large.

The Modern Creation Myth
At the start of the 20th century, mathematical physics, inspired by a series of instrumental discoveries in astrophysics, attempted to formulate an answer to the question of how the universe came to be. The resulting modern creation myth, the big bang, was hailed as a triumph of reason and cosmic understanding. But was it really something new, or was it just a new version of the oldest story known to humanity?

What If Einstein Was Wrong? - Stephen Crothers, Checking the Math
Stephen Crothers sifts through mathematical physics with a keen eye for logical inconsistencies. He eventually found himself asking: what if Einstein was wrong? From black holes to the big bang, Mr. Crothers examines the basic fundamental assumptions underpinning the most juicy bits of contemporary astrophysics. What he finds may not be sexy, but are aesthetics and fantasticism really a goal of science?

How Biology Beats Cheaters: A Lesson in Corporate Accountability
The tragedy of the commons is a frequent excuse for the often ill effects of efficient corporate industry. Curbing bad behavior can seem impossible - so we look to see how biology beats cheaters throughout the natural world. In the process, mother nature schools us in corporate accountability. Fortunately, cheaters don't seem to win in the long run!

Getting Things Done in Washington According to an Insider Attorney - Joel Corcoran, J.D.
Getting things done in Washington may seem impossible with all the bipartisan drama humans have to wade through these days. However, getting things done might be as simple as putting a dollar in the hat and forging a new party, or special action group. Former Washington Science and Technology Policy Advisor, Joel Corcoran discussses widespread fears that corporations have grown into super-entities and shares what you can do to keep the ship on course.

Want to Survive into the Future? Try on the Meanwhile

If the past informs the future, a tragic tomorrow can seem inevitable: famine, war, disease, and destruction threaten to unfold at the end of every path. Escaping the past has meant maintaining physical and economic growth, but this leads to another set of worries: Does all this expansion doom humans to the boom and bust fate that awaits all exponential creatures? It might. But what if an endless cycle between growth and death is just one of many possible evolutionary strategies? This is the story of the meanwhile creatures, exponential growers who thrive and persist long after growth is done.
Don’t forget to check out the full interview with Dr. Mark Nelson about the growth lessons learned living under glass for two years.

Stuck in Isolation for 730 days - Dr. Mark Nelson, Biosphere 2
Mark Nelson and 7 of his crewmates were stuck in isolation for 730 days inside of Biosphere 2, a self-contained ecosystem in the Arizona desert. It is the largest closed system ever created by humans on their planet, and proved an important testing ground for everything from sustainable agriculture to small-group psychodynamics. Here Dr. Nelson contrasts the the resilienacy of the biome with the struggles of the human biospherians.

Structure vs Freedom: How Humans Are Like Water
Full interview: https://youtu.be/h99Z0FCjeTs
Podcast: https://anchor.fm/demystifying-science
How are humans are like water? Water is usually seen as a solvent, the background against which the reactions of life play out. But sometimes, water can form nearly invisible, orderly structures at cellular surfaces. Structures that are strong enough to govern biological behaviors - yet are always on the verge of falling into chaos and allowing something new to grow. This biphasic process of stability and renewal can be seen as a metaphor for larger patterns in nature, and even in humans, where social interfaces shape culture in unseen ways.
