He has published extensively on the subjects of extragalactic magnetism, active galactic nuclei, infrared polarimetric instrument, and next generation telescopes. We talk about studying the invisible, developing models for the structure of the cosmos, becoming the highest Canarian that ever lived, the value of mad geniuses, becoming useful, and much more. 00:00:00 Go! 00:00:16 Talking magnetic fields 00:11:20 Who is Enrique Lopez Rodriguez 00:25:17 Absence of coherent theories 00:33:26 Electromagnetism vs Gravity 00:44:15 Magnetic reversals and long cycle effects 00:53:39 Getting an accurate read on the cosmos 01:03:07 Instrumentalizing the Cosmos 01:13:11 Bringing new ideas around 01:22:37 Brilliance lost to rough talk 01:32:45 Finding space for ideas to unfurl 01:43:01 Dealing with mad genius 01:54:03 Orphaning of ideas 02:03:19 The only place in the world you get paid to explore 02:13:30 There's no place like home 02:25:56 Closing thoughts Tell us what you think in the comments or on our Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub #magnetism #électromagnétisme #cosmicmagnets #cosmology #astrophysics #astronomy #astromagnetism #electricuniverse #electromagneticuniverse #gravity #galacticmarvels #galaxy #galaxyscience #stanford #stanfordastrophysics #stanfordphysics #science #sciencepodcast #longformpodcast #demystifyscipodcast #demystifysci #longformscience #longformconversations #deepthoughts #whoadude Check our short-films channel, @DemystifySci: https://www.youtube.com/c/DemystifyingScience AND our material science investigations of atomics, @MaterialAtomics https://www.youtube.com/@MaterialAtomics Join our mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University. When not talking to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time painting, reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Shilo also did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of molecular water. When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various universities. - Blog: http://DemystifySci.com/blog - RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rss - Donate: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaD - Swag: https://bit.ly/2PXdC2y SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/ - Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySci MUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671
