Welcome to the Hyperthesis, where this week, we welcome special guest Billy Sievers. Billy is a Ph.D Student at McMaster University studying self-intersecting surfaces inside black holes and connections to quantum gravity. Before we dive into his research (and get a fun quiz on dimensions), Liam tells us about a trinary black hole system and it's discovery and chaos. Patrick ends the episode with a cosmology-adjacent person, Hendrik Lorentz.

Join Patrick, Pheely, Liam, and special guest Jean-Marie Coquillat as we explore the depths of dark matter detection. After discussing the current state of the art of dark matter detectors at SNOLAB, we speak with Jean-Marie about his current research on the NEWS-G dark matter detector. Jean-Marie speaks about how the detector operates and how he is working on rejecting background noise the limits of dark matter detection are pushed. He also delves into other research related to his current PhD research at Queen's University. Finally, Liam ends the episode with a story about the driving force behind SNOLAB, Canadian Nobel Laureate Dr. Arthur B. McDonald.

Celebrate with the Hyperthesis as we discuss the Nobel Prizes awarded in Physics, Chemistry, and Medicine and Physiology for 2024. We delve into the meaning and controversy behind the prizes, especially discussing the foundations of AI. Before then, we discuss the history-making landing performed by SpaceX as they caught part of the largest rocket ever as it landed back on Earth. We mention the Ig-Nobel prize before providing a brief history of the Physics Nobel prize winners, John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton.
