Join The Deeper Thinking Podcast as we explore the groundbreaking revelations of propulsion expert Richard Banduric at the round table dicussion presented by NASA Convergent Aeronautics Solutions Project in collaboration with Shoshin Works.

About Richard Banduric: Innovator in Advanced Propulsion and Materials Science

Richard Banduric is a pioneering expert in advanced propulsion systems and materials science, with over four decades of experience in electrical engineering and applied physics. As the CEO of Field Propulsion Technologies, his work focuses on breakthrough innovations in propulsion and the exploration of advanced materials, including those with potential extraterrestrial origins.

Early Career and Classified Research

In the early stages of his career, Banduric co-owned a reverse-engineering firm where he was introduced to cutting-edge technologies far surpassing conventional scientific understanding. His work with NGOs and classified programs uncovered unique material properties and potential propulsion methods that challenged the boundaries of classical physics. These experiences propelled him into collaborations with institutions like DARPA, where he explored the phenomenon of longitudinal forces in composite conductors—materials existing between traditional conductors and insulators.

Current Research and Innovations

Banduric’s recent work revolves around nanoparticle-enhanced metamaterials capable of generating external forces for propulsion. This research, supported by the NSF, investigates how accelerated charges within nanoparticles can produce significant forces with minimal energy input. His findings align with theories of longitudinal radiation and scalar potentials, suggesting the existence of previously undetectable fields.

Among his notable breakthroughs:

Electroscalar Radiation Hypotheses: Investigating radiation types beyond traditional electromagnetic fields.

Cloaking and Light-Bending Materials: Exploring metamaterials for invisibility applications.

Smart Materials: Studying self-repairing, adaptive materials that exhibit unprecedented computational and environmental responses.

Banduric’s work with advanced materials has frequently intersected with the study of suspected extraterrestrial technologies. He has analyzed isotropic data from self-disintegrating “smart materials,” identifying structural compositions far beyond human capabilities. These materials have displayed behaviors such as:

Self-repair and environmental adaptation.

Cooling high-temperature surfaces.

Apparent cloaking abilities through light manipulation.

Banduric envisions transformative applications of these technologies within the next decade, particularly in aerospace and defense sectors. His research bridges the gap between theoretical physics and practical engineering, offering a glimpse into the future of propulsion and material science.

Highlights of Expertise and Achievements:

Over 40 years of contributions to electrical engineering and advanced physics.

Collaboration with DARPA, NSF, and prominent NGOs.

Leadership in nanoparticle-enhanced propulsion systems.

Cutting-edge research into longitudinal forces and scalar potentials.

Exploration of extraterrestrial materials and cloaking technologies.

🎙️ Podcast Description:

In this episode of The Deeper Thinking Podcast, we confront the escalating homelessness crisis in the UK, analysing the reforms aimed at addressing this deeply rooted issue. We delve into the systemic failures and moral dilemmas surrounding social housing and policy priorities, uncovering how these challenges are not unique to the UK but reflect a broader crisis across Western societies.

Homelessness is not just a question of housing but a stark indicator of societal values and the consequences of systemic neglect. This episode asks hard questions about government accountability, market-driven priorities, and the structural inequities that perpetuate instability.

In this episode of The Deeper Thinking Podcast, we dive into the intriguing and unsettling world of AI-generated content. From the subtle instinct of "AI-dar" to the gut-level unease dubbed "Turing Tingles", we explore how these terms—coined by Reddit users poop_mcnugget and DarknStormyKnight on the ChatGPT subreddit—reflect the complexities of our evolving relationship with artificial intelligence.

Guided by Holly, your digital narrator, we unpack the psychological, cultural, and societal dimensions of synthetic dissonance, a term introduced by Reddit user Ok_Information_2009 to describe the discomfort of encountering something "too perfect to trust." Why do AI creations dazzle us yet leave us questioning their authenticity? How is this growing mistrust reshaping the way we perceive creativity and truth?

Join us as we explore how AI is redefining authenticity, why imperfections still hold immense value, and how we’re navigating the blurred boundaries between human and machine in today’s rapidly shifting digital landscape.

Do some minds communicate beyond words? Could perception extend beyond the physical senses?

In today's episode, we explore the controversial yet fascinating claims surrounding telepathic connections in non-speaking autistic individuals. Families describe moments that defy explanation—a child answering a question that was never spoken, emotions sensed without expression, thoughts seemingly transferred between minds.

Skeptics argue these accounts are mere coincidence, confirmation bias, or wishful thinking—but what if they’re missing something? What if our current scientific models are inadequate to study certain kinds of perception?

🔹 Can consciousness exist beyond the individual mind?

From William James' research on mystical experiences to David Bohm’s theories of quantum interconnectedness, we examine whether telepathy belongs to the realm of science, philosophy, or something entirely beyond human comprehension.

If minds can connect in ways we don’t yet understand, what else remains hidden beneath the surface of perception?

In this episode, we challenge traditional ideas of authorship and authenticity through the voice of Holly, a synthetic narrator. By embracing the uncanny valley, we reflect on how AI’s imperfections provoke deeper engagement. Technology isn’t just a tool here—it’s a collaborator, transforming creative limitations into opportunities for innovation.

Whether human, machine, or both, storytelling is ultimately about connection. Let’s rethink the lines between creator and tool, story and listener, and begin to explore the uncharted territories of hybrid creativity.
