À propos de ce contenu audio

Aimed at enthusiastic, but sometimes baffled, listeners to science podcasts, Matter Over Mind (we like to call it MOM) is the essential guide to the secrets of the Universe, as revealed through physics and psychology. So if you've been listening to a 'science communicator' talking about the AdS CFT Correspondence, but it still sounds like a News Agency to you, or you think the Legrangian is a character from The Matrix, but you really want to understand it, MOM's the word. Confusion is not limited to physics though, so if you're conscious that you don't know about the unconscious, or you don't know what to think about claims about archetypes and essentialism, or if you want to understand what the experts are saying about proposed links between quantum physics and consciousness, then again it's MOM you need.


Hosts are Thomas Vincent, an experimental physicist at the University of Oxford with a Masters degree in Theoretical physics, and currently working towards a PhD in Atomic and laser physics and Stephen Mather, Business Psychologist, with a Bachelors in Psychology and a Masters in Organizational Psychology from the University of London. In each episode Stephen and Thomas take turns to ask the questions about the chatter in the science podcast and YouTube ecosystem, and try their best to make sense of it all. Oh and to spice things up a bit more, Stephen is Thomas' soon-to-be father-in-law!

    • Weighty Matters: Do extra pounds speed your descent?

      Weighty Matters: Do extra pounds speed your descent?
      Oct 25 2025

      A person freewheels down a steep hill. What effect does their weight have on their velocity? Do they go faster the heavier they are? Do they go slower? Or does it make no difference? A question close to Stephen's heart. Physicist Thomas has the answer and he has the workings to prove it.

    • Ex Machina in the era of ChatGPT

      Ex Machina in the era of ChatGPT
      Oct 11 2025

      It's worth a rewatch of Ex Machina now that we have LLMs chatting away to us. How do we think about that film now? Anyway, it's a good excuse to watch a great film again.
