Join Patrick, Pheely, Liam, and our special guest Josh Hainge as we delve into deep questions about quantum phenomena. Before we get to the main topic, we discuss the newly discovered nearest black hole to the Earth, Gaia BH1. With this new discovery, we also discuss how things that we can't see are actually detected, from black holes to elementary particles. Josh then talks about his research, focusing on transitions from non-chaotic systems to those that have a chaotic classical system. As another interest, Josh discusses some controversy of what happens when light travels through a medium. We also explore Josh's journey from working with meteorites to theoretical physics. Finally, Patrick wraps up this chaotic episode with a story about how we controlled chaos to invent the steam engine along with the whole field of thermodynamics.
