#57 – Black Holes & Revelations: Correct Terminology, Space & The Scientific Method – Science But Simple 7 With Josh Murray

It’s time for more science in your life, so get ready for the seventh addition of “Science But Simple”!

This week, Mike’s favourite scientist, Josh, returns to talk about misconceptions surrounding scientific terminology including mass/weight, hypothesis/theory, that “supermassive” doesn’t necessarily mean large in size and Freudian slips are even mentioned! In addition to terminology, Josh explains what black holes are, why the new image of a black hole is being talked about, how forces work against each other and more!

If you haven’t already checked it out, we lightly recommend listening to the second addition of Science But Simple (episode #12 of GCC) where Josh explains gravity, The Sun, The Moon, orbit and a few other things in slightly less depth than in this release.

For any newcomers, Science But Simple is a mini-series on Genuine Chit-Chat mostly about Josh explaining the fundamentals of things we see in our everyday lives in an easy-to-digest manner – episodes 6, 12, 18, 25, 38 & 47 are all Science But Simple releases, so if you enjoyed this chat, be sure to check those out too!

“What Is Palaeontology?” – GCC #17 with Wayne Telford – Dinosaur Fossils, Climate Change, Giant Insects & Mass Extinction Events

What is Palaeontology (or Paleontology for you Americans)? How do we find fossils today and what do they help with? Did giant insects exist on earth, and if so, how? All of these questions and many more are answered in this week’s episode of Genuine Chit-Chat!

Mike speaks with his Palaeontologist friend Wayne, where they also discuss dinosaurs, mass extinction events, some of the work Wayne has done at university (including going to sites discovering dinosaur remains with some flesh still attached) about evolutionary life in general and much more, so it’s one not to miss!

Wayne is also an accomplished author and has released two fiction books, which delve into events surrounding 19th century London; A Light In The Mist, which follows a young Dr Jekyll while the second novel (Scarcrow) has a different protagonist surrounding similar events from another perspective.

Wayne wants to spread a message of hope, telling everyone & anyone to follow their calling, despite what others may say, as you can change the world, if you have the dedication to do so, which were the inspiration of said novels.
