Science in Perspective
🌌 Science in Perspective
Science in Perspective examines scientific work by changing the level of description. Instead of isolating parts, it looks at how structure, information, and constraints give rise to behavior across systems.
Each episode starts from real research and asks what patterns remain when the details are stripped away. The focus is not on results alone, but on the organizing principles that recur across physics, biology, cognition, and social systems.

Science vs. Sensation: The Truth Behind Ghost Murmur
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode I discuss how viral claims about a classified “Ghost Murmur” technology detecting a pilot’s heartbeat from miles away break down under basic physics, using the story as a case study to explore authority bias, the persuasive power of scientific jargon, and the importance of critically evaluating extraordinary technological claims against real scientific limits and evidence.
