The Conduct Science Podcast

This week on The Conduct Science Podcast Tom returns to join Mitch as they discuss simulation theory! Is it a completely theoretical stipulation or are you living in a simulated world right now? The boys discuss the ins and outs of simulation theory including the assumptions that need to be met if its real and the implication this has on our lives. Is there proof for its existence or do we understand too little about  the universe to decide? And if it were you would you take the red or blue pill?

Today, Mitch and Tom are joined by Dr. Enric Sala who is the National Geographic explorer in residence and director of Pristine Seas. Join them as they talk about biodiversity and the wild and just why they are so important. Why do we need sharks and wolves and how does their impact benefit us directly? What does the future of conservation look like and will the standard practice change? The coronavirus epidemic has been a shock to the world but what do we stand to learn from it and how can we take this and move forward in a productive way?

This week on The Conduct Science Podcast, Mitch and Tom return to conspiracy theories! In this episode, the boys take on conspiracy theories and try to debunk them while having a laugh along the way. Prepared to get introduced to the hollow earth theory and QAnon! Start to question yourself as they debate if Finland and New Zealand are real places and, of course, if 5G causes coronavirus. Mitch tries his hand at the True or false: Conspiracy theory edition game! How would you do? Music by: Joakim Karud - https://soundcloud.com/joakimkarud.

This week on The Conduct Science Podcast, Mitch and Tom enter the Quantum World! Join them as they discuss the ins and outs of quantum physics and how Einstein and Bohr paved the way to the complex world of the subatomic. What is Schrodingers cat really about? How does quantum computing work and what are its implications? Quantum technology is the centrepiece in sci-fi technology, but do they have it all right? And what about teleportation?

This week on The Conduct Science Podcast, Tom and Mitch take a look at the stars! Join them as they discuss exactly what it is that makes a star what it is! The life cycles of stellar entities and how they come into being from giant gas clouds and nebulas in the exapanse of space and how humans might one day end up exploiting stars for their own use. Black hole or supernova explosion, why, what, when, where, and how! Music by: Joakim Karud - https://soundcloud.com/joakimkarud.

This week on The Conduct Science Podcast, join Mitch and Tom as they enter the world absolutes, where there is only one answer, maths! The boys kick off with the history of the world of maths, explore their own past experiences, and their current relationship with it now. They debate whether maths was discovered or if its just a construct of the mind, teach you how to count past infinity, and why it's never too late to learn maths yourself.

This week on The Conduct Science Podcast, Mitch and Tom take a deep dive into biodiversity! What even is biodiversity? Why is it important not only to the world but to humans? More than this, the boys ask the tough questions like what is the difference between a wood and a forest and explain exactly how new species are identified. To round out the show they take a look at the future of biodiversity in our world, how we can protect it, and the plans already in place. Music by: Joakim Karud - https://soundcloud.com/joakimkarud.

This week on The Conduct Science Podcast, Mitch and Tom laugh in the face of danger. Yes, this week is all about fear! What exactly is fear in the first place and why do we need to experience it? The fight or flight response is a well known mechanism but what actually happens to our body and what if we overreact? The boys discuss what life is like for people who have no fear response, how to overcome and handle fears, whether your fear is factual or fictional as well as recognising that stress is just a fear response. Tune in this week and let us know about your experiences with fear! Music by: Joakim Karud - https://soundcloud.com/joakimkarud.
