We sit down, in-person, with the unorthodox mathematical theorist and actor, Terrence Howard. Terrence joins us to discuss his geometric model of physical reality, which resurrects the luminiferous aether...sort of. Instead of taking the aether to be a formless fluid, Terrence proposes a subunit structure for the fabric of reality, which is based on a fractal system of three dimensional shapes. We discuss the need for physical alternatives to the 'fabric of spacetime,' challenges to the standard models, why the aether was initially abandoned, and then take a walk through his geometric universe - complete with actual physical models of Terrence's aetheric structures.

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. Filmed by Matthew Zimmer & DemystifySci.
