DrBry The Physics Guy Podcast
112 episodes - English - Latest episode: 9 months ago -If you have ever been fascinated by popular science and longed to explore physics on a deeper level but found text books dull and impenetrable? Have you ever listened time and again to how "all physicists agree" and thought to yourself, no wonder we are in trouble if they all agree to that! Then this is maybe for you. Having grown bored of the religious dogma that often passes for physics these days, Dr Bry decided to take a look for himself, his battle cry "Nullius in Verba", On the word of no one. Allow Dr Bry to be your guide as you embark on an exciting journey of discovery into the wonders of our amazing universe.

Episodes
Boltzmann's constant
July 28, 2023 04:00 - 8 minutes - 6.08 MBThis week we look at number 4 in our list of 5 constants, Boltzmann's. While possibly the least popular of the 5, I am convinced that it plays a central role in our theory of everything.
Coulomb's constant
July 21, 2023 04:00 - 11 minutes - 7.91 MBFor me, Coulomb and his constant are one of the most amazing things in physics and I genuinely believe that a theory of everything will involve this constant.
Big G
July 14, 2023 04:00 - 12 minutes - 8.5 MBOne thing we all sort of know is Gravity. It is the thing that keeps us pinned to the earth. In this episode, we talk about that amazing constant Big G, the gravitational constant. This one is important because as we will see in later episodes, it may be that we have it all wrong.

Einstein, the unluckiest dude of all
February 28, 2022 18:00 - 20 minutes - 14 MBWas Einstein actually the unluckiest of people who ever lived? It dawned on me a while back that he might have been. In this one I go on a bit about hammers and screws, actually, I go on far longer than I should probably have, but what are you going to do? Join me to see if I am right about our man Albert.

Space - The final frontier- Go'ed there James T
September 13, 2021 04:00 - 17 minutes - 12.3 MBThis is part 2 of space the final frontier. When I think of space, I often think about Star Trek, the final frontier, you know what I mean, or I may think about some of the incredible photos that we get from telescopes things like the Hubble. If you don't happen to know much about the hubble telescope it's amazing, for one thing it is in space. We have a telescope in space! Think about that, we have put a telescope in space. This post is all about telescopes
Space - there is loads of it, everywhere
September 06, 2021 13:00 - 17 minutes - 12.1 MBThis week we are going to talk about something that I reckon fascinates everyone to some degree and is one of the most accessible and least accessible subjects in physics, which may seem an odd thing to say, but you will get what I mean in a minute. the subject is Space Space, the final frontier.

Atomic - Fred Hoyle and the stuff of life
August 23, 2021 04:00 - 14 minutes - 10.2 MBThis week I am covering something that I find truly mind blowing. I'll be honest, I am one of those people that when I start to think about anything to do with the world, I end up sitting their in pure wonder and awe. I am lucky that sometimes I get things, I understand the incredible beauty of something. the other day for example, my cat managed to catch, kill and eat a bird. I know this because it left a bird leg and wing in the living room. I was a bit upset at first, I'm a big fan of b...

August 16, 2021 15:00 - 13 minutes - 9.5 MBtoday we are going to start were we left off last week, were we were talking about nuclear fusion. Joining hydrogen atoms together to create helium and in doing so, releasing an absolute shed load of energy. ... then I'm going to mention the rather odd story of Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons there is also a physics joke in there, though you will be excused if you miss it.
