One Universe at a Time

Dr. Ed Hach is going to tell us how to make sense of data generated by qubits and explain how it could be useful and how it might not. In the second half of our show we’ll talk about the physical constants of the universe and whether they change over time.

Today we’ll talk with Dr. Kara Maki, an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at the Rochester Institute of Technology. She’ll explain to us the physics of coffee rings. In the second half of our show we’ll talk about gravitational waves, and how they might be detected.

Episode 8 of the One Universe at a Time podcast

Today we’re going to talk about the uncanny valley with Dr. Grant Gutheil, Associate Professor of Psychology at Nazareth College in Rochester NY. In the second half of our show we’ll talk about what all the fuss is regarding a black hole in the center of our galaxy.

Dr. Kim McGann is a sociologist at Nazareth College. She studies how love is constructed by cultural values, and how what we expect from love can sometimes be unrealistic. In the second half of the show, we’ll talk about careers in physics, and how amateur astronomers can deepen their understanding of the night sky.

Today we’re going to talk with Dr. Scott Franklin, a Professor of Physics at the Rochester Institute of Technology about this common, but interesting kind of material. In the second half, we’ll talk about the four fundamental forces of nature.

Today we’re talking with Dr. John-David Rocha, Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Materials Science at the Rochester Institute of Technology. We’ll find out what’s so special about nanomaterials. In the second half of our show we’ll talk about astrochemistry, and how complex molecules can form in the cold depths of space.

Today we’re going to talk with Dr. Callie Babbitt, an Assistant Professor of Environmental Science at the Rochester Institute of Technology. She’s going to share the most sustainable ways to dispose of electronic waste. In the second half of our show we’ll talk about where solar energy comes from, and when it will run out.

Today we’re going to talk about this with Dr. Grant Gutheil, Associate Professor of Psychology at Nazareth College in Rochester NY. In the second half of our show we’ll talk about what makes a planet a planet, and why Pluto is no longer considered one.

Today we’ll hear from Dr. Matthew Hoffman, an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at the Rochester Institute of Technology, about how scientists are measuring and modeling the pollution floating in our oceans and great lakes. In the second half of our show we’ll talk about how astronomers have learned to establish the age and size of our Universe.
