The Wish You Were Beer Show

Quantum Beer Night with Dr. Chris Ferrie!


Listen Later

Grab your favorite brew and prepare for the smartest pint you’ve ever poured. This week’s episode is way smarter than us, but we promise the beer will help. 🍻 Join us LIVE Thursday at 8 PM ET as the Wish You Were Beer Show gets a little... theoretical. We’re joined by Dr. Chris Ferrie — physicist, mathematician, author, and proof that brains and beer actually can mix (with proper head retention). On Tap This Episode: What’s the difference between classical and quantum physics — and why your beer foam probably isn’t in two states at once (probably). The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle — we’re certain it’s interesting, but not exactly sure why. Zero-point energy and particle-wave duality — which might explain how your beer disappears faster than expected. Schrödinger’s Cat and Superposition — kind of like your unopened six-pack: both full and empty until observed. Plus, a few words about Dr. Blitz from TikTok, who might be the IPA of science communicators: bold, sharp, and a little bitter. About Dr. Chris Ferrie: With a PhD in applied mathematics and a specialty in quantum probability, Dr. Ferrie is the author of the Baby University series — teaching quantum theory to toddlers and making adults like us feel tipsy on confusion. 📅 LIVE Thursday at 8 PM ET 📺 Bring a cold one, take a quantum leap with us, and try to keep your molecules in superposition while we nerd out with one of the brightest minds in physics. #WishYouWereBeerShow #QuantumBeer #ChrisFerrie #ScienceAndBeer #BeerLoversUnite #QuantumMechanics
