For round 2 we dive into the realms of physics and mathematics, exploring dynamic entities that transcend the confines of spacetime. From Markovian Dynamics to the quest for new frameworks in physics, join us in unraveling the mysteries that lie beyond conventional understanding. Beyond the physics we enjoy a captivating exploration of consciousness, spiritualism, and the profound implications of Hoffman's groundbreaking work.

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
