The 42cast is proud to welcome back the one and only, Ms. Emma Dumont. In this episode, Emma comes on the show for the inaugural episode of EmandEn where she and Nathan talk about whatever strikes their fancy. This first episode was recorded on 5/27/2023, but various personal and technical hurdles kept us from sharing it right away. So, it is with great pleasure that we share this episode with you. Ostensibly, Emma and Nathan are here to talk about science, but you’ll see that they run the gamut from philosophy, history, psychology, sociology, education, the arts, and just about everything in-between.
This whole episode veers towards controversy, so there is no five-minute controversy this week.
Show Notes:
Quantum Theory
Double-Slit Experiment
String Theory
Supersymmetry

How much does it matter to you whether a movie gets the facts right; whether it is in science, history, or something else? In this episode we dive down into the psychology of wanting “just the facts”. At what point does a movie “getting it wrong” pull you out? Can a good story overcome those limitations? Can we come to a consensus on a general level “factuality” that an audience can rightfully expect to have with a movie? It’s all that and more in an episode declared to be better than Braveheart. Don’t believe us? Give it a listen and decide for yourself.
