David Gornoski starts the episode by highlighting how groupthink has pervaded the world of science and media and why we must break this herd mentality by thinking out of the box. Now that the public is demanding some accountability regarding Fauci, are we falling back onto scapegoating? How do we challenge the overreliance of our […]
The chief science advisor of A Neighbor’s Choice, Dr. Weiping Yu, returns with another brand new segment of Science and U. The physicist comments on his recent interaction with Michio Kaku and reviews Kaku’s string theory. Is there any evidence for string theory? Also in this segment, Dr. Yu comments on reports of a bio-weapon […]
In this special Science and U conversation, David Gornoski and Dr. Weiping Yu sit down with renowned physicist Michio Kaku, author of the bestseller The God Equation. Michio Kaku talks about the inspiration behind writing the God Equation, string theory, unifying quantum theory and relativity, the existence of other universes, the existence of a “hyperspace,” […]
Dr. Weiping Yu returns to the show with a brand new segment of Science and U. The physicist comments on the muon results that show discrepancies in the standard theory of fundamental particles. “I believe there are no orbiting electrons,” Dr. Yu astonishingly claims. Dr. Yu also comments on the news that MOXIE has produced […]
Dr. Weiping Yu returns with more Science and U. The renowned physicist comments on the latest science news such as Japanese scientists discovering a way to regrow teeth; the promise to create a diamond nuclear-powered battery that will last for 28,000 years; physicists discovering a new phase in Bose-Einstein condensate of light particles; and more. […]
Dr. Weiping Yu, the chief science advisor of A Neighbor’s Choice, is back with more Science and U. The physicist comments on the news of the first-ever image of a black hole taken in polarized light. Wherever we find black holes we find magnetic fields. What does this mean? Is the standard model of physics […]
David Gornoski urges us to question religiosity in all spheres of life, including science. Dr. Weiping Yu is back with more Science and U. In this episode, the physicist talks about the most distant thing in our solar system, a newly discovered space object called ‘Farfarout.’ Dr. Yu also comments on how scientists shot down […]
Dr. Weiping Yu is back with another segment of Science and U. The physicist comments on the latest news from the world of science such as the discovery of a new state of matter called liquid glass, the idea that a supermassive black hole influenced the evolution of life on Earth, US navy’s tech that […]
Dr. Weiping Yu returns with a new segment of Science and U. The physicist comments on fusion reactors that use extraordinary magnets to pressurize elements into superhot plasma and whether they will be effective. Animal magnetism is real, a study claims while stating that snakes repel venom via a magnet-like mechanism. Dr. Yu says this […]
The chief science advisor of A Neighbor’s Choice, Dr. Weiping Yu, returns with another segment of Science and U. The physicist comments on the news that scientists in Tokyo have confirmed quantum response to magnetism in cells. “Of course,” Dr. Yu remarks, “when you have magnetic field interact with cells you will see quantum effects.” […]
