Everything Everywhere Daily - The Ultraviolet Catastrophe and the Creation of Quantum Mechanics

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, there was a problem that stumped even the best minds in physics.

Eventually, one man, Max Planck, solved the problem, but his solution was one that was out of left field. While the math worked, he didn’t actually believe that the mathematics explained reality.

It turned out his discovery was more true than he realized and it ushed in a revolution in the world of physics that completely changed our view of nature and reality. 

Learn more about the ultraviolet catastrophe and the birth of quantum mechanics on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Bad Faith - Episode 438 – Minority Report (w/ Michael Bloch & Ben White)

Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock our full premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast

Civil rights defense attorneys Michael Bloch and Ben White join Bad Faith to discuss the fatal beating of prisoner Robert Brooks at the Marcy Correctional Facility in New York and a similar case that their law firm Bloch & White is handling. How has advocacy for criminal justice reform changed since the BLM era, and to what extent did Democratic leadership fail the moment? Is there any optimism that liberals will recommit to the criminal justice promises they claimed to espouse during Trump's first term now that he's returning to the White House? Or does the decision of blue state liberals like NY Gov. Kathy Hochul to run to the right on these issues portend a further rightward drift over the next four years? And did the left bring this rightward shift on itself by not taking crime concerns seriously (à la Ana Kasparian's argument)? Or is something else at play?

NPR's Book of the Day - Daylight is something to celebrate in ‘The Shortest Day’

We've moved past the shortest day of the year – Dec. 21 – and, now, the days are getting longer. For more than 40 years, people have read and performed Susan Cooper's poem "The Shortest Day" to commemorate the winter solstice. In 2019, that poem was turned into a children's book, illustrated by Carson Ellis. In their collaboration, the two hoped to convey a story about light's triumph over darkness year after year. In today's episode, Cooper and Ellis join NPR's Scott Simon for a conversation about how the project came together, including the inspiration they took from their communication via letters – and from Pieter Brugel's paintings.
