Listen "Episode 5: Cosmology, Part II"
Episode Synopsis
EN: The Problems with Cosmology and Unified Theories: In this episode we dive deeper into the success and the challenges of the big bang model but also go into String Theory and supersymmetry and their shortcomings and challenges. These challenges reveal a lot about the sociological undercurrents in the world of high energy physics and cosmology and are an excellent illustration of the blind spot, of the exaggerations and fantastic ideas that emerge when science diverges from data and becomes grounded on unexamined metaphysical concepts and assumptions. Fasten your seat belts and let’s dive into the deep nature of reality, or what we believed it could be and apparently is not.PT:Os Problemas com a Cosmologia e as Teorias Unificadas:Neste episódio, mergulhamos mais fundo no sucesso e nos desafios do modelo do Big Bang, mas também exploramos a Teoria das Cordas e a supersimetria, juntamente com suas limitações e dificuldades. Esses desafios revelam muito sobre as correntes sociológicas no mundo da física de altas energias e da cosmologia, sendo uma excelente ilustração dos pontos cegos, exageros e ideias fantásticas que surgem quando a ciência se afasta dos dados e passa a se basear em conceitos e suposições metafísicas não examinadas. Aperte os cintos e vamos mergulhar na natureza profunda da realidade — ou no que acreditávamos que ela fosse e, ao que tudo indica, não é.
