Before Lunch Ends

In this episode, we discuss, in awe, the first 'image' ever captured of a black hole (reference: https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/10/world/black-hole-photo-scn/index.html). We discuss how the image was captured and why the image looks the way it does. As well, we try to develop an appreciation for the magnitude of the mass of this black hole. This episode sets the stage for our next episode (7) of this season where we will finally broach the Holographic principle. 

In this episode, we begin a very interesting discussion around Extraterrestrial life, our perspective on its constitution, thoughts on the probability of finding it, preconceived notions, and the physical requirements to create life as we know it. 

In this episode, we discuss some interesting news related to moon colonization. We also start a discussion about Constructal Theory and what governs the patterns we see in nature.

In this episode, we discuss the concept of free will. We present our own arguments both in support and in opposition. We spend time exploring the implications to individuals and to society in an absence of free will.

In this episode, we have a high level discussion about Quantum Mechanics as the cornerstone of our understanding of the universe. We also begin a discussion about entropy and its unending march toward the death of the universe.
