    The Big Bang Never Happened? Eric Lerner, DemystifySci #337

    Eric Lerner is a popular science writer, plasma physicist, and long-time collaborator of the late Nobel laureate Hannes Alfvén. He’s also one of the featured speakers at our Beyond the Big Bang event this summer in Sesimbra, Portugal. For over thirty years, Lerner has been a leading voice in plasma cosmology and a critic of Big Bang cosmology, who argued for a non-expanding, steady state universe as the central claim of his landmark book The Big Bang Never Happened (affiliate link to puchase: https://amzn.to/4jEez8H). Our conversation dives into the history and foundations of plasma cosmology, from early Birkeland current experiments in the Arctic that revealed the electrical nature of the aurora, to the role of plasma dynamics in the shape and behavior of galaxies. All the hits are in here - from Halton Arp, whose Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies seriously challenged the way that mainstream cosmologists interpret redshift, to the electromagnetic forces often overlooked in mainstream cosmology, to the filamentary plasma structures and cosmic-scale currents that strain the limits of the standard model. This is a deep exploration of alternative cosmology, electric universe theories, and the scientists behind them — from Fred Hoyle to Anthony Peratt — who refused to patch a dying theory and instead asked instead if the universe might be eternal.

    Missing History, MH370, Kurt Cobain's Killer + More - Matt Beall, DemystifySci #336

    Matt Beall is the host of the Limitless Podcast, where he explores everything from the impossibly precise predynastic vases, to ancient civilizations, planetary catastrophes, nuclear explosions on Mars and, most recently, the suspicious circumstances of Kurt Cobain’s death. Our conversation spans the meta of the weird space we all find ourselves in as people who are willing to play with ideas that we don’t necessarily believe are totally correct - but find intriguing enough to spend our days wrestling with them.

    Cosmic Catastrophes & Prehistoric Resets - George Howard, DemystifySci #334

    George Howard is a weaver of ideas who runs the Cosmic Tusk blog and organizes the Cosmic Summit annual gathering. He’s also one of the longest-lived players in the Comet Research Group, a heterodox collection of theorists and scientists that has been working on the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis since the 1990s. We talk with Howard about bone beds, Carolina Bays, mass extinction, catastrophic history, weirdly magnetic mammoth tusks, and just how little we can actually say with certainty about the distant past.

    Why Did We Really Abandon the Aether? - Dr. Adam Forrest Kay, DemystifySci #333

    Adam Forrest Kay is the author of Escape From Shadow Physics, a rip-roaring tour through the history of physics that suggests the quantum world might be a lot less legible than anyone realizes. Much of his work is informed by the logic of Hydrodynamic Quantum Analogs, which are classical systems whose behavior can be described by same mathematics that’s used for quantum mechanics. Kay makes the case that if a classical system, made of materials and substances, can be described by the same statistical mathematics, that it’s possible the quantum intuition that reality dissolves into a sea of probabilities and wave functions is just straight up wrong. We explore how the mechanics of droplets bouncing on surfaces recapitulates the mathematics of quantum mechanics, what it means for a classical system to behave like a quantum one, how pilot wave theory fits into the story, and why this isn’t front page news for every science magazine in the world.

    We've Been Wrong About Cancer For 100 Years - Dr. Thomas Seyfried, Boston College, DemystifySci #332

    Cancer is one of the most terrifying illnesses of our age - a sudden change that happens silently inside our bodies and slowly eats away at us until there’s nothing left. It’s also one of the biggest failures of the pharmaceutical age - somewhere between 90 and 97% of all cancer drugs fail at clinical trials. Which is why we’re unbelievably excited to bring you our conversation with Dr. Thomas Seyfried, Professor of Biology at Boston College who appears to be hot on the trail of a cure cancer that has nothing to do with the oncology-industrial-complex. According to the dozens of papers he and his colleagues have published over the last few decades, a strict ketogenic diet coupled to a glutamine inhibitor is sufficient to weaken cancer cells to the point that the immune system can actually clear the tumor. A recent paper from his group published in February of 2025 shows the stunning effects of his protocol in a small group of eighteen glioblastoma patients. Median survival for these patients for the last hundred years has been 12-15 months, but with Seyfried’s intervention appears to have been extended up to 84 months. That’s seven years, for those keeping score.We sit down with Seyfried to take apart his protocol, why it works for cancer, why no one’s heard if it, and how everyone has completely misunderstood what cancer actually is.MAKE HISTORY WITH US THIS SUMMER:https://demystifysci.com/demysticon-2025PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show(00:00) Go!(00:07:33) - Reception of Metabolic Cancer Research(00:10:05) - Breakthrough in Glioblastoma Treatment(00:14:49) - Glutamine-Glutamate Cycle in Cancer(00:16:33) - Challenges and Critiques of Standard Care(00:17:43) - Barriers to Implementing Metabolic Therapies(00:24:19) - Radiation and Cancer Treatment(00:26:07) - Metabolic Approach to Cancer(00:27:30) - Evolutionary Biology's Role in Understanding Cancer(00:28:52) - Mitochondria's Role in Cellular Destiny(00:31:39) - The Oxidative Phosphorylation Process(00:35:28) - Cancer and Mitochondrial Function(00:38:43) - Cellular Electrochemical Gradients(00:41:30) - Cancer's Dependency on Fermentable Fuels(00:45:08) - Glutamine's Role in Cancer Treatment(00:52:11) - Patient Compliance and Dietary Challenges(00:55:33) - Glucose Ketone Index for Health Monitoring(01:06:48) - Fenbendazole and Cancer Research(01:10:02) - Medical Industry Business Models(01:13:27) - Diets and Nutritional Ketosis(01:17:06) - Metabolic Variability and Personalization(01:19:25) - Exercise and Metabolic Health(01:23:43) - Historical Misconceptions in Cancer Treatment(01:26:21) - Obesity and Cancer Prevention(01:28:00) - Metabolic Theories of Cancer(01:47:18) - Metastatic Cancer Origins(01:55:24) - Therapeutic and Collaborative Approaches(01:59:57) - Practical Steps and Transformations#CancerResearch, #glioblastoma, #CancerAwareness, #Oncology, #CancerTreatment, #CancerSurvivor, #FightCancer, #EndCancer, #CancerSupport, #ClinicalTrials, #CancerWarrior, #BeatCancer, #CureCancer, #CancerFighter, #StayStrong, #CancerCommunity, #philosophypodcast, #sciencepodcast, #longformpodcast ABOUS US: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University.

    New Physics of Galaxies, Earthquakes, and the Sun - Dr. Anne Hofmeister, Wash. U., DemystifySci #330

    MAKE HISTORY WITH US THIS SUMMER:https://demystifysci.com/demysticon-2025PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showAnne Hofmeister is an applied physicist, mathematician, and theorist at Washington University, whose heterodox approach to physics has not made her a lot of friends, but has solved a lot of paradoxical problems. Hofmeister’s background in analytic materials science has given her a deeper than average understanding of how to deal with complex physical systems, which allows her to see what others miss. Often, she will investigate a system that’s thought to behave in strange ways - like galaxies whose rotation appears to violate Newton’s laws - and discover that a deep confusion about how to treat the system mathematically produces fantastical explanations like dark matter or modified gravity. In our conversation we talk about the surprising implications her work for things like plate tectonics, the structure of the sun & the liquid sun model championed by PM Robitaille, and how to see the pieces that everyone else misses.

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.
