  • Well... About the 2024 Nobel Prizes
    Nov 8 2024

    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.

  • Guess Who's Back? (for Season 7)
    Nov 1 2024

    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.

  • Scientific Method in Theoretical Physics
    Jun 8 2024

    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.
