Hey Book Nerds and readers! On this week's book club we're reading chapters 9 and 10 of The Order Of Time, by Carlo Rovelli... and oh boy! We're lost... Thermal time, macroscopic states, the blurring of time, the sub-atomic scale and..... ahhhhhh! Who made time so complicated?

22 min - Olas Protocol: Blockchain Can Bring Trust Back To Journalism (And Make Money For Writers) - Ciaran Murray, CEO
This week we speak with Ciaran Murray about media and journalism, why it's broken and how web3 and blockchain technology to bring truth and trust back to your news feed.
Ciaran is a seasoned veteran of the blockchain industry, advising on numerous web3 projects and releasing a synthetics assets proof-of-concept last year. Ciarán previously worked in the media industry for British Sky Broadcasting. As such, he is well placed to understand the issues facing the media industry and how to apply blockchain and other distributed technologies to remedy them.
He is now the CEO of Olas Protocol. The Olas Foundation’s protocol seeks to harness the power of blockchain technology to make all non-private information freely available and to drive positive change in the media landscape.
Olas tackles the economic precarity facing media with the introduction of novel funding mechanisms and tackles the dissemination of disinformation through open but collusion-resistant review protocols, providing a viable alternative to traditional media.
“We are passionate about the preservation of high-quality journalism and scientific research, while increasing its availability to the public. The current media industry is facing a dire economic situation and is plagued with bias and a resultant lack of trust. Olas aims to minimise bias and return more value to content creators by removing hierarchical control of the media." - Ciaran MurrayLearn more - https://olas.info/---

46 min - Quantum Season: 2 Scientists Speak About Quantum Computer And What They Can Actually Do For Culture & Business
Professor George C. Schatz is Professor of Chemistry and of Chemical and Biological Engineering at North-western University. He received his undergraduate degree in chemistry at Clarkson University and a Ph. D at Caltech. He was a postdoc at MIT, and has been at North-western since 1976.
Schatz is a theoretician who studies the optical, structural and thermal properties of nanomaterials, including plasmonic nanoparticles, DNA and peptide nanostructures, and carbon-based materials, with applications in chemical and biological sensing, electronic and biological materials, high performance fibers, and solar energy. His past work has also been concerned with understanding the dynamics of chemical reactions in the gas phase and in gas-surface collisions.
Professor Anupam Garg is interested in the formalism and applications of coherent state path integrals, especially as they relate to spin angular momentum and molecular magnets. He also maintains a cultural interest in the foundations of quantum mechanics.
Since 2020, he has been collaborating with Professor Ketterson on micromagnetic simulations of various phenomena related to ferromagnetic resonance and nonlinear, large angle dynamics.
_________
- Describe your interest in quantum mechanics and culture (Apunam)
- What does everyone need to know (no matter their position or industry) about quantum Mechanics?
- How will these principles affect innovation in the current industries
- What are the most compelling intersections of your work and the evolution of the industries that we know today?
- What keeps you up at night with the knowledge that you hold?
- What are the most important unanswered questions in science today?
- How do things get lost in the translation from science to industry? How do you bridge the gap
- What’s the one question you wish people would ask you (about science) that they never do?

23 min - Circle: How Cryptocurrency Is Being Used To Create Corruption Resistant Humanitarian Aid Pipelines - Mercina Tillerman-Perez, VP Impact
Mercina Tillerman-Perez is VP at Circle Impact. She joins Thinking On Paper to tell us how Circle are using crypto currency for good.
Collecting funds to support displaced people around the world is only half the battle. The other half is delivering it to people in need – no matter where they are. UNHCR + the UN Refugee Agency are turning to USDC, running on the Stellar blockchain.
Eliminating the need for those fleeing instability to carry cash, credit or debit cards – aid recipients can access vital support via a Vibrant digital wallet – and exchange their USDC for local currency at any MoneyGram location.
Who they are working with, and where the success stories are. It's a long road, there are no easy or quick fixes, but crypto can be used to help get aid and money where it should be.

31 min - Book Club: The Order Of Time, By Carlo Rovelli - What Is Quantum Gravity?
Welcome to book club. We're still reading the Order of Time by Carlo Rovelli. It's still warping our minds like time and space. This is The surprise episode when I forgot to tell Jeremy our special guest was a quantum physicist! And we still aren't sure what quantum gravity is.
What role does quantum gravity play in time? Are they the same thing? What is granularity, and why does it mean time doesn't flow? Hell yeah! What's Planck length? Why does it matter... Superposition of electrons, fine... but superposition of time? The past present and future are just probabilities? WTF?Please enjoy the show as much as we did.===============================Praise For The Order Of TimePhilip Pullman: "Wonderful...

Does time move, what happens when nothing happens?
Gravitational fields.Quantum gravity.Just what the hell is time?Benjamin Franklin said once you lose it, you’ll never find it again. Theophrastrus said it was the most valuable thing you can spend. Pericles said it was the wisest counsellor of all. Oscar Wilde said punctuality steals it away.Turns out they were all wrong.Ladies and gentlemen, Albert Einstein. “The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.”Or,“Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute.”Isaac Newton said, “Absolute, true and mathematical time, of itself, and from its own nature flows equably without relation to anything external.”Aristotle said, “Remember that time slurs over everything, let all deeds fade, blurs all writings and kills all memories. Exempt are only those which dig into the hearts of men by love.”Time really is all we have.Please Enjoy The Show.===============================Praise For The Order Of TimePhilip Pullman: "Wonderful...

About Thinking On Paper
From the publisher's feed
The human story of technology. Are you tired of the algorithm choosing everything for you? In a world increasingly vibe coded by 20-year-olds and run by billionaires, this is where you think about technology for yourself.
I'm a technology writer and snowboarder. Jeremy is a musician who builds data centres. Every week we cross swords with the CEOs, founders and outliers of tech and culture. We’ve talked quantum with IBM, AI with Microsoft and Space tech with NASA.
Under it all? What the hell does it all mean for you, your work and your family.
