TRANSCRIPTS Welcome to Flashcards Fridays! If you had a chance to listen to Tuesday’s episode, I interviewed the theoretical physicist Dr. Ronald Mallett, who shares how a moment of heartbreak in his childhood became the foundation for his entire scientific career. It’s an inspiring interview, and I hope you listen to it. Today I’m following up on his concluding statement, and
PODCAST TRANSCRIPTS Gabrielle Birchak I just finished editing this fantastic interview with Dr. Ronald Mallett, Professor Emeritus of Physics at the University of Connecticut. This episode of Math Science History is all about exploring one of physics most daring frontiers, time travel. Dr. Mallett has spent a lifetime investigating whether light itself can twist space time enough to form loops
Time Travel Imagine stepping into a machine, an elaborate chamber of brass, gears, and humming coils. You sit down, pull a lever, and suddenly the world outside your window blurs. The clock on the wall no longer ticks in neat, familiar seconds. Instead, time itself bends and stretches like taffy. Days whirl past in moments, centuries collapse into a single
Lise Meitner was central to the discovery of nuclear fission, and how her contribution was overlooked by the Nobel Committee …

Imagine a place in the universe where time stops, where space folds into itself, and where not even light can escape. A place that devours everything, matter, radiation, even information. Now imagine the scientists who tried to explain it… and were laughed at, ignored, or
PODCAST TRANSCRIPTS It’s Flashcards Friday at Math! Science! History! and since we’re doing a short podcast, I couldn’t think of a better topic to do than a Flashcard about Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. I’m Gabrielle Birchak. I have a background in math, science, and journalism. By the time you’re done listening to this brief podcast, you will know more
Understanding momentum goes back to Aristotle’s time, where be believed that heavier objects fall faster than lighter ones. Today, momentum propels us to future endeavours that even reside within us!
“Synchronicity is the coming together of inner and outer events in a way that cannot be explained by cause and effect, and that is meaningful to the observer.” — Carl Jung Skepticism reigns supreme in science. When something doesn’t make sense, there is a search for truths. Since the beginning of archaic humans, our ancestors have continually pondered the connections of
