0:27.6 | This is Robbie Martin. |
0:29.5 | And this is Abby Martin. |
0:32.0 | Thanks for joining us today, everybody. |
0:35.2 | So I guess the only news we didn't talk about in our last two podcasts was, |
0:40.8 | famous quantum physicist, astrophysicist, Stephen Hawking, died at the age of 76. |
0:49.2 | Just obviously one of the most brilliant scientists alive during our lifetimes a brief history of time |
0:57.8 | was one of the most influential books about space or even science and you know they came out |
1:05.1 | maybe in the last 40 years arguably and back on the aro morris, once again, there was a, there's a great |
1:11.9 | documentary made of the brief history of time that Stephen Hawkins is in, made by Earl Morris. |
1:16.9 | I recommend everybody watch that. Who hasn't seen that? In Stephen Hawking, I mean, he was probably |
1:22.0 | one of the first people that I read about sort of the idea of the unified theory, that theory of |
1:27.0 | everything, that sort of there wasn't just these, you know, theories behind certain isolated aspects of our physical universe, but that there was a theory that bound everything together as a unified theory. |
1:39.2 | That sort of led me down a path of being really interested in quantum physics for a while and, you know, |
1:44.9 | admittedly got into some hippie shit when I was doing a lot more psychedelics and reading Stephen |
1:51.2 | Hawking and, you know, reading Swamp Thing and Alan Moore kind of all at the same time. |
1:56.0 | And it was sort of like a, you know, it sort of was a nice component to like that journey of |
2:00.2 | mine is like reading |
2:01.1 | about quantum physics and reading his stuff. |
2:04.5 | It took me on many different paths. |
2:07.3 | And something that I only learned about him later in life, which I'll let you talk about, Abby, |
