Perhaps the key is buried in the past. Sail through the annals of physics with us as we sit down with Dr. Alexander Unzicker, a lively and incisive German theoretical physicist and author. In this long-form podcast, pry open the deep history of physics, with a special focus on elastic theories of the enigmatic luminiferous aether. Tune in for a unique perspective that bridges the past and present, unlocking the secrets of our scientific heritage with an eye for what comes next.

When not talking to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time painting, reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Shilo also did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of molecular water. When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various universities. - Blog: http://DemystifySci.com/blog - RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rss - Donate: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaD - Swag: https://bit.ly/2PXdC2y SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/ - Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySci MUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671
