309. Science or Whatever: Isaac Newton in Quarantine
🕑 Added 2020-08-10 13:00:05 +0000 UTC
Betcha didn’t expect a brand-spankin’ new podcast! This one takes us to the wonderful world of the physical. Science! Or whatever.
Michael Swaim interviews actual scientist/engineer and lifelong friend, Griffin Rowell every episode about a topic that Griffin has researched and found does not get enough press. This episode takes us to 1666 and the “wonderful year” of Newton. Oh hey, he did all these things in quarantine. So listen and immediately feel like you’ve been squandering your stay-at-home year.

Hell yeah another science show!

Loved this + super interested in every other possible topic that was brought up. What’s the possibility of a crossover with Pop Culture Petri Dish?

Awesome Jesus Christ Superstar opening. Just a note, you've set yourself up for immediate failure if the second episode doesn't cold open with the high "Why" from Gethsemane. Good luck! 😎

Love the cover art!

The one discussion in Flatland that always stands out is the Square asking if he can see the Sphere's guts, to which the Sphere responds that it's impossible. This leaves the Square unsatisfied having visited the 0 (Pointland) and 1 (Lineland) dimensional universes. I would love to see a sequel where a 4th dimensional being blows the Sphere's mind. I am looking forward to more of these podcasts, this is very fun to listen to at work. Certainly have Griffin back.
