  • Friendship with Science is a series of fun conversations about science happening in India but relevant universally, as all good science is! These conversations cover deep and broad ideas of science, from atoms to genes, from the sun to making science toys at home, from tiger counting using genetic tools to lake health in Bangalore and much much more. The conversations move seamlessly across disciplinary boundaries, across scales and times, they are about physics, they are about biology, they are about chemistry, they are about mathematics, they are about how science is done, they are about how scientists think, they are about how scientists communicate, they are about how scientists chill and how they don't. In short, they are about making friendship with science!
    This episode is with Professor K Sridhar, a Physicist and Professor at the Azim Premji University in Bangalore. Prof Sridhar got his BSc and PhD in Mumbai after which he spent years in London and Geneva at the CERN. Years later he came back and started as a faculty member with TIFR, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Mumbai. Sridhar has made deep contributions in the broad area of theoretical high energy physics and in addition to his stint at TIFR, he holds many positions across the world in Paris, London, the CERN and so on. He has written a book in theoretical energy physics called "Particle Physics of Brane Worlds and Extra Dimensions", published by Cambridge University Press. Sridhar's personality and contributions don't quite end there. He is also a novelist and has written a very interesting book called "Twice Written" based on Bombay and has an even more interesting book, "Ajita", coming up. Keep an eye out for that.
    Taking the conversation up with Prof. Sridhar are Shashi Thutupalli, who may or may not be a scientist and Biswa Kalyan Rath, who is definitely not a comedian!

    Great discussion. Waiting for part 2. Biswa, using spectroscopy, we can determine the composition gasses in the planetary atmosphere of transiting planets in front of their host stars. This would allow us to actually say, for example, if an exoplanet in Trappist solar system has oxygen in its atmosphere, just by looking at the spectral lines coming from the host star's light passing through the atmosphere of the exoplanet which is (here's the key part) transiting in front of its host star, in our vision.

    58:50 "Mendel is peas" - underrated joke
    On acceptance of atom:
    The idea of atom was accepted en masse after Einstein's paper on brownian motion. Later work based on this paper allowed the experimental calculation of atomic size and Avogadro's number
    1:07:05 On spectroscopy with planets
    I am not sure about surface composition but atmosphere - yes. When a stars light passes through the atmosphere of a planet, some freq will get absorbed and the rest will pass. By looking at the missing lines in spectrum (those that were absorbed), you can comment on the atmosphere. That's how earth like atmosphere in other star systems are determined

    Just to chip in biswa's questiin if atman and atom are same, i think atman is part of something bigger called paratman the supreme so it is a divisible part of something bigger while atom is whole in itself, mixing all elements together might be reactionary but mixing all atman together will bring in completeness.

    @sidonnet4u 16 днів тому +1

    At 1:06:00 and around this, when they are discussing fire vs. the material being heated by it, I think they might have answered it myuch better if they just introduced and talked a bit about the electron itself. They could have much easier explained that it is the electrons within the atoms that just jump levels of energy, and then they coming back to their original position gives out the light in different frequencies(wavelength). So when wood or charcoal is burning, it is essentially carbon's and oxygen's electrons getting excited and then releasing energy when they combine to make carbon-dioxide. (All these words are common enough terms that any layman budding scientist would understand). So fire is like the ions and electrons jumping levels of energy as they move around in air, all of them at the same time give the macroscopic feel of fire.. it is not a continuous thing like water at all, just stuff moving around at higher energy than its normal calm (ground) state, and then releasing it to get back there. In the process, these bombarding light particles, ions and elctrons are hitting the Iron rod in the middle of the fire, and transfer some of its kinetic energy through basic newtonian and thermodynamic physics to the electrons in the Iron atoms. When these elctrons are trying to get back to their own ground state, they radiate a different frequency of light, their own color of red. So I think, talking about electron would have been good as well, before going into quantum physics, and atomic structure even, or uncertainity principle.
