  • More than a diversion

    When I first started listening to MSH I recommended it to my students, not so much for them, but to introduce their children, nieces, or nephews to math and science.

    After the 2024 election, I needed a diversion from all the turmoil. I started to relisten to MSH.

    Gabrielle‘s invention, thoroughness, and humor shown through. This is more than a diversion. Don’t miss.

Dr. Ronald Mallett and the Love That Bends Time
Q: How did your father's passing set you on this lifelong path toward knowing that physics was the key to understanding time travel?
Dr. Mallett shares the profound impact of his father's sudden death on him as a child, which fueled his desire to understand time travel as a method to see his father again.
Haunted Machines: The Engineer Proximity Effect and Pauli's Curse
Q: What's your best advice for non-engineers when something breaks down?
The two things I would recommend are to retrace your steps slowly and carefully, and if that doesn't work, reboot the equipment, then give us a call.
Haunted Machines: The Engineer Proximity Effect and Pauli's Curse
Q: Can you give us an example of one of your EPE moments?
Typically, it involves a user being impatient and when they are asked to demonstrate the problem, they go through the process in a meticulous manner. When asked to demonstrate, nothing goes wrong, leading to the belief it's because of the engineer's presence.
