I like RCH. I know zilch about the applied sciences, but I am starting to follow what he is saying somewhat. I like his sense of humour and There is nothing like him on the air.

Neither does Hoagland, so don't beat yourself up about it.

Spinner · July 31, 2015, 01:51:14 AM

Yeah, what happened with Dr. Ning Li was a disgrace.

Spinner · July 31, 2015, 01:57:36 AM

Dang it! My stream stopped for a few seconds.

norland2424 · July 31, 2015, 01:58:19 AM

...RCH really does ask good questions though. I hate to even admit that.

But you may have to ... if it's in the data.

ShayP · July 31, 2015, 02:00:38 AM

Knock on wood....I haven't had any problems listening. No interruptions over the last few days. Thank goodness!

I really dig the tunes!

Yes - and also, seems like a virtual impossibility that a cheesy Noory bumper would appear.

What would cause the pendulum to behave that way during a solar eclipse?

And more importantly, does anyone else pronounce "pendulum" like Hoagie does?

ShayP · July 31, 2015, 02:06:30 AM

When the guest mentioned speaking to an 'alien scientist' I thought Hoagie was going to stroke out. Then the guest clarified.

Northcoaster · July 31, 2015, 02:08:22 AM

Hello, Hoagie fanatics! I'm just tuning in. Did I miss any gems?

not yet but its a good topic tho

What is the topic, pray tell?

Dixon Bawls · July 31, 2015, 02:13:13 AM

Define for the folks... not me.

I think it's zero-point energy and/or cold fusion and/or ??

Molecular quantum nuclear torsion field technology & applied socio-economics. Er... maybe.

That about what I've managed to get out of it.

ShayP · July 31, 2015, 02:19:37 AM

A Bose-Einstein condensate is a dense cluster of atoms cooled so close to absolute zero that all of the atoms are in a single quantum state and can therefore be described by the same wavefunction.

How do you make it vibrate so it is then in a state of transition? What is it transitioning into? And are you intrigued?

*Edited to add 'nuclear'.

Sounds sciency! I'm in!

GeorgieForPresident2216 · July 31, 2015, 02:23:18 AM

He lost me when he said he multiplied the diameter of a spinning disk with the frequency of a radio wave to get a speed. That was at the start of the interview so I kind of lost my focus on the rest of the discussion.

Northcoaster · July 31, 2015, 02:24:47 AM

I'm so lost right now, I'm having flashbacks to advanced algebra in high school

GeorgieForPresident2216 · July 31, 2015, 02:26:04 AM

And what is the speed of light in an atom supposed to mean?

Royal_Tenenbaum · July 31, 2015, 02:26:08 AM

Winding down on two weeks of Hoagie. I can't believe I actually look forward to the show as much as I do. Sad I haven't heard the phone ring in the background or Richard being confused on how to operate his set up. Who paid for his gear btw?

qaddisin · July 31, 2015, 02:26:36 AM

So he wants to use any leftover money from subscriptions to support "cutting edge" scientific work? This sounds suspiciously like Noory's "helping the needy" fund...

he said last night that the gear was donated by the guy who helped set up art
