Schrödinger’s Chat

Hello! Welcome to Schrödinger’s Chat! – The podcast where I explore the real science behind the biggest questions in the universe, as well as some of the quirkier science we encounter everyday. I’m Anna, a sixth-form physics student with a lot of curiosity and a passion for understanding how the world works. From the smallest particles to the largest galaxies, join me as we unlock the mysteries and wonders of the universe, and explore how physics shapes the world around us.

    Episode 14: Legends in Lab Coats: The Invisible Geniuses

    Today, we are looking at the invisible geniuses: three scientists who have fallen into relative obscurity, or whose work was overshadowed by others at the time. But it’s time they get the recognition they deserve, so our three legends today are: Rosalind Franklin, Alfred Russel Wallace, and Jocelyn Bell Burnell. Hopefully, this episode will enlighten you about some of these amazing scientists who you may not have heard of, and maybe highlight just how many unseen amazing people were really behind famous groundbreaking discoveries.

    Episode 13: Unlucky for Some

    Welcome to episode 13! Some would call it unlucky, dangerous even, and to others, it’s just another number.  But why 13? What did the number 13 ever do wrong, and why do we feel things are unlucky? In this episode, I want to explore why humans turn randomness into story and superstition; and is luck a real thing at all, or is maths and probability actually behind everything? There will be history, maths, and a bit of psychology, all to ask: what does ‘unlucky’ even mean?

    Episode 12: Richard of York

    Rare, beautiful, and almost magical. A rainbow is one of the few natural phenomena that doesn’t need any explanation to make you go ‘wow’. But understanding why it happens makes it even cooler. In this episode, we are taking a deep dive into a piece of physics magic: rainbows. How and why do they form? Why are they that shape? And could you ever find the end of a rainbow?

    Episode 11: The Dark Side of Light

    Light is great. It’s beautiful, a symbol of hope, positivity, knowledge, and imagination, and of course we need light here on Earth to survive. However, you can have too much of a good thing, especially when that thing is created by humans. This episode, we are looking at the impacts of artificial light on the environment, and on our ability to observe the cosmos, and how that affects us on Earth. This is the dark side of light.

    Episode 10: Schrödinger's Cat

    What if I told you there’s a cat that’s both alive and dead at the same time? Sounds like the start of a horror film, but it’s actually one of the most famous ideas in physics. To celebrate the tenth episode of this podcast, we are taking a look at the namesake of this podcast, Schrödinger's Cat!

    Episode 9: Infinity and Beyond

    What is infinity? Is it a number, an abstract concept, or is it just a theory? And how do we reach it? Indeed, does it exist anywhere in the universe? Well, in this episode we are exploring the mind bending world of infinity, what it is, how it works, and how we can use it. We are looking at infinity…and beyond… Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/schrodingerschat_podcast/ Email: SchrodingersChatPodcast@outlook.com Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0DTOhb2sYdLSfMchR6g5HI?si=492afca7a0d246f8 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/schr%C3%B6dingers-chat/id1828493525

    Episode 8: Legends in Lab Coats: The Pioneers

    Welcome back! This episode, we’re starting a brand-new mini-series I’m really excited about: Legends in Lab Coats. This is where we shine a spotlight on the scientists behind the discoveries: their lives, their quirks, and the breakthroughs that shaped our understanding of the universe. And this first instalment is all about pioneers. These are the people who stepped into the unknown, who didn’t just solve problems, but invented entirely new ways of seeing the world. They were ahead of the science of their time, and pushed forward with revolutionary new ideas. Without them, physics as we know it might not even exist. We’ve got three absolute giants today: Isaac Newton, James Clerk Maxwell, and Lise Meitner. Three very different people, in very different centuries, but each of them opened a door to a brand-new world of physics.

    Episode 7: Extreme Physics

    Physics can be beautiful and elegant… but it can also be absolutely wild. So today, I’m taking you to some of the most extreme corners of the universe: the hottest temperatures, the coldest places, the most crushing pressures. We’re exploring what happens when physics is pushed to its absolute limits. Imagine places colder than interstellar space, pressures that can squash atoms into exotic forms, and speeds so fast they stretch time itself. This is the world of extreme physics; and it’s stranger and more wonderful than science fiction.
