Quarks to Cosmos: Advanced Physics in Everyday Language

Hosted by astrophysicist Jennifer and science journalist Inara, Advanced Physics in Everyday Language unpacks some of the most complex ideas in modern physics — from general relativity to quantum mechanics, string theory, the timescape model, and beyond — and explains them in ways that are both intellectually rigorous and refreshingly clear.

Designed for curious minds with no formal background in physics, each weekly episode takes a single theory or concept and breaks it down using real-world analogies, stories, and simple language — without dumbing it down

Quantum Mechanics: The Battle of Legends, Bohr vs Einstein

Quantum Mechanics: The Battle of Legends, Bohr vs Einstein

Albert Einstein hated quantum mechanics. He called it "spooky action at a distance" and spent decades trying to prove it was wrong. But Niels Bohr fought back, defending the Copenhagen interpretation…

Quantum Mechanics: Why Precision is Impossible

Quantum Mechanics: Why Precision is Impossible

In the classical world, you can measure where something is and how fast it’s moving with perfect accuracy. But in the quantum world? Not a chance.
In 1927, Werner Heisenberg proposed something shocki…

Quantum Mechanics: The Experiment That Broke Reality

Quantum Mechanics: The Experiment That Broke Reality

Imagine firing a tiny particle at a barrier with two slits. It should go through one or the other, like a bullet. But in the double-slit experiment, something unbelievable happens.

Quantum Mechanics: Bohr’s Atomic Playground

Quantum Mechanics: Bohr’s Atomic Playground

Atoms should be unstable. According to classical physics, electrons should spiral into the nucleus in a fraction of a second. Yet, atoms persist, and the universe exists. How?

Quantum Mechanics: Planck’s Last Resort and The Birth of Quantum Mechanics

Quantum Mechanics: Planck’s Last Resort and The Birth of Quantum Mechanics

In 1900, Max Planck wasn’t trying to revolutionize physics—he was just trying to fix an equation. Instead, he stumbled upon one of the most shocking ideas in science: energy isn’t continuous—it comes…

Quantum Mechanics: Crisis in Newtonian Mechanics

Quantum Mechanics: Crisis in Newtonian Mechanics

For centuries, physics was a world of certainty—planets orbited predictably, forces followed rules, and everything seemed explainable. But by the late 19th century, cracks started to form. The rules …
