Abby and Reid talk about the use of particle accelerator(s) in Into the Spiderverse & the rest of the MCU, what works, and what wouldn't. Also, both of us remember just how dumb Iron Man 2 really was... daaaaang.

This episode is all about that mind-boggling theory regarding the creation of the universe: The Big Bang! Hear us stumble our way through its meaning and laugh at Abby trying to do mental gymnastics. Also, if you're a cosmologist, please @ us.

We meet up with our friend Brian, who happens to be a Nuclear Power Plant Operator. We chat all about his career, Homer Simpson, terrible disasters, punk bands, and much more.

Abby and Reid go to the ol' mailbox for a topic suggestion, and talk about our podcast's namesake: Anti-Matter.

Abby and Reid talk about what may really lay at the heart of "empty space", and remind one-another that magic is everywhere and physics is anime.

In this one we talk about fire, fuego, flambé, feu... how it's all a bunch of superheated gas and stuff, and what happens when you put it in the microwave. fun!

Our protagonists talk about a bit about particle physics, accelerators, mutant powers, CERN, and the exciting potential of proton-wakefield acceleration! (though not in that order)

We continue our quantum mechanics exploration by looking at one of the most famous historic examples of quantum weirdness. Abby laughs at the word "slit" a bunch, and then we go get ice cream. The end.

We start out talking about that thing on all those nerdy t-shirts... and somehow devolve into a brain-stew of trying to sum-up Quantum Mechanics. Ψ(x,t) = ψ(x)T(t).

After riding one in Shanghai, we discuss magnetic trains aka MagLev and how the frig they work. We also get into magnets in general, as well as some highlights of the trip. Pretty NEAT-O. (Content warning: drugs, Chinese fantasy soap operas)
