Join Liam, Pheely, and Patrick for the first episode of the second season of the Hyperthesis! We start by diving into updates from our recording break, and discuss our research activities. For the main topic, we cover one of the most important chemical processes humanity has ever discovered: fire. We discuss the basic physics and chemistry behind this phenomenon, and the important role it has played not just for humanity, but for the environment in general. Finally we change the subject and end with the story of Stephan Hawking, one of the most prominent physicists of all time.
We also have a new theme music written by Liam himself, and mixed by us! The guitar part of the outro is played by Pheely's brother Phon Chitnelawong.
