The DemystifySci Podcast

What if the CMB Isn't Actually Cosmic? - Dr. Patrick Vanraes, DemystifySci #380

The universe hums a low, steady note...or so we were told. Dr. Patrick Vanraes, a plasma physicist from the University of Antwerp, joins us in that quiet static, where light and truth blur at the edges. We talk of cosmic beginnings, instrument design, of warmth beneath the skies, of radio echoes mistaken for the birth of everything. In that hum, between curiosity and doubt, the cosmos seems to ask who’s really paying attention. CORRECTION NOTE: Dr. Robitaille wishes it to be known that when he says "titanium" on our phone call he should have said "titanium dioxide."

The Dark Economics of Healthcare - Drs. P. Robitaille & C. Rickabaugh, DemystifySci #378

In the quiet corridors where healing was once holy, something cold now slithers. In today's pod, two ER physicians step forward, voices steady, to reveal how the laws meant to protect truth have become tools of silence. Dr. Patricia Robitaille & Dr. Coleen Rickabaugh speak of hospitals that trade compassion for control, of doctors punished for refusing to look away. It’s a reckoning - part confession, part hymn - for a system that’s forgotten its soul. The two are now working in DC to rewrite the law that broke healthcare's back in the first place.

An Elastic Theory of Mass and Charge - Dr. Chantal Roth - Elastic Aether - DSPod #377

If we treat the universe as being filled with some kind of elastic solid, can we get any closer to understanding the nature of light and gravity as the product of physical processes, or is there still some deeper principle that needs to be uncovered before we can develop a unified theory of the universe? We dig into mass, light, electricity, and magnetism in context of the elastic Ether with Dr. Chantal Roth.

Could This Solve the Biggest Problem in Physics? - Dr. Chantal Roth - DSPod 376

What if the key to solving the mysteries of modern physics lies not in new mathematics, but in a physical interpretation of the mathematics we already have? This week, we begin a deep, two-part conversation with Dr. Chantal Roth about the Elastic Aether Theory—one of the first serious contenders we've found for a material interpretation of fundamental physics. Dr. Roth's quest for a deeper understanding of the universe begins by taking the mathematics of General Relativity, applying a set of material science axioms, and deriving what the mathematics of light and gravity tell us about the physical properties of the universe. Check out part 2, where we dive into the ether-based mechanisms for mass, light, charge, electricity, and gravity.
