Dr. Alexander Unizicker is a writer, teacher, and host of Unzicker’s Real Physics ( @TheMachian ) , who is back for a fourth conversation on the DemystifySci Podcast. In this episode we discuss the origin of the mathematical constants found throughout physics, which ones of them are truly fundamental, which ones can be further simplified, and try to figure out if the constants are telling us something significant about how the universe is organized.

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.
