- Episode 10: Schrödinger's Cat
What if I told you there’s a cat that’s both alive and dead at the same time? Sounds like the start of a horror film, but it’s actually one of the most famous ideas in physics. To celebrate the tenth episode of this podcast, we are taking a look at the namesake of this podcast, Schrödinger's Cat!
23 min - Episode 9: Infinity and Beyond
What is infinity? Is it a number, an abstract concept, or is it just a theory? And how do we reach it? Indeed, does it exist anywhere in the universe? Well, in this episode we are exploring the mind bending world of infinity, what it is, how it works, and how we can use it. We are looking at infinity…and beyond…

20 min - Episode 8: Legends in Lab Coats: The Pioneers
Welcome back! This episode, we’re starting a brand-new mini-series I’m really excited about: Legends in Lab Coats. This is where we shine a spotlight on the scientists behind the discoveries: their lives, their quirks, and the breakthroughs that shaped our understanding of the universe. And this first instalment is all about pioneers. These are the people who stepped into the unknown, who didn’t just solve problems, but invented entirely new ways of seeing the world. They were ahead of the science of their time, and pushed forward with revolutionary new ideas. Without them, physics as we know it might not even exist. We’ve got three absolute giants today: Isaac Newton, James Clerk Maxwell, and Lise Meitner. Three very different people, in very different centuries, but each of them opened a door to a brand-new world of physics.

24 min - Episode 7: Extreme Physics
Physics can be beautiful and elegant… but it can also be absolutely wild. So today, I’m taking you to some of the most extreme corners of the universe: the hottest temperatures, the coldest places, the most crushing pressures. We’re exploring what happens when physics is pushed to its absolute limits. Imagine places colder than interstellar space, pressures that can squash atoms into exotic forms, and speeds so fast they stretch time itself. This is the world of extreme physics; and it’s stranger and more wonderful than science fiction.

18 min - Episode 6: Science Behind Sci-Fi: The Martian
What would you do if you were stranded on Mars? With no one else around. Running out of food and air. And worst of all… nothing to listen to but 70s disco music. In The Martian, astronaut Mark Watney survives this dire situation through ingenuity, grit, and a lot of potatoes. But how much of it is realistic science… and how much is creative licence? There’s only one way to find out: in the slightly cleaner version of Mark Watney’s classic words, let’s science the heck out of this!

30 min - Episode 5: Bookworm(hole)
Calling all science nerds and bookworms! This episode, we're taking a break from science deep-dives: instead I'll be discussing some of my favourite STEM books! I’ll be talking about the What If? Books by Randall Munroe, Breakfast with Einstein by Chad Orzel, and Hello World by Hannah Fry.

21 min - Episode 4: We are Stardust
Italian astrophysicist Margherita Hack said ‘The stars are not very different from us: they are born, they grow old, they die.’ In this episode, we are going to find out just how closely we are linked to the stars, and how we are related to them in a way you might not have even realised. We’re going on a journey: back to before Earth. Before the solar system. All the way to the stars. So get comfortable and cast your mind to the cosmos…

18 min - Episode 3: Music is Maths
What is your favourite song? And why? It could be the lyrics, the tune, or maybe it’s just the feeling it gives you? And what do sine waves, Pythagoras, and Fibonacci sequences have to do with your favourite song? Well we’ll look at all of this and more in this episode all about music!

20 min - Episode 2: How the Zebra got its Stripes
Today, we are looking at a rather unusual and perhaps unexpectedly physics-y topic: Zebras. I reckon zebras have one of the most iconic patterns of all animals, but whenever I see them on a wildlife documentary, I find myself wondering, why on Earth are they black and white?!
