Episode #54 - Experiments That Changed History Mar 29, 2021

Show notes

Today we talk about just a few of the many experiments that have changed the history of physics. We each present some notable experiments that are sure to blow your mind, including the very first accurate calculation of the speed of light (which was also a confirmation that it was actually not infinite). To all our listeners out there, we are so happy to say that you can head over to brilliant.org/mpp, and the first 200 of you to sign up will get 20% off your premium membership.

Episode #52 - Entropy in the Universe Mar 15, 2021

Show notes

Today we talk about the mysterious quantity in thermodynamics called entropy. Although it's a little bit odd to think about, it actually produces many of the equations we see in thermodynamics, including the ideal gas law. Thank you to Zhora for recommending this topic.
