Even Darwin pointed out that his ideas on categorizing species might not be the most perfect way of understanding varieties in nature. But how do you study individuals and their species individually? What is the definition of ‘boundaries’ when
In the thread of our fifth season: from atoms to planets, we bead a very interesting segment of living beings. In the third episode, we converse with an extremely talented and charming Primatologist— Prof. Anindya Sinha, who is currently a prof
How do we measure time to the utmost precision? How do we even define time? What’s the need for a definition? And where does fundamental science really matter to the everyday affairs we go through?The questions that subtly sit right beside our
From the biggest waves of the ocean to the tiniest of the atoms tick at their own frequencies. While some are extremely periodic, others shift through time.The watch on your wrist or the clock on your wall might tell you the time of the day bu

In the second and final part of the conversation in the first episode of Season 5, we continue our dialogue with the distinguished physicist, Prof. Rupamanjari Ghosh. In this episode, we delve deeper into her contributions to the field of Quant
How does the property of light change when we zoom in and look at the photons? When we talk about ‘Quantum’ we view the universe probabilistically, that means while you are sitting in your room listening to this excerpt there’s a teeny-tiny bu
Quantum optics is an extremely rich and diverse field with applications ranging from super fast computers (quantum computers) to establishing a zero-failure communication system! Forming one of the most sought after fields in natural science in
Perhaps it is only fair to open this marveling season of our journey from Atoms to Planets with a conversation where we dive into the quantum world! When we talk about interference, we consider light as a wave, while in the photoelectric effe
While physicists go about explaining how the world works as it is being witnessed, mathematicians design a world with their own sets of curiosities. Everything being explored or has been explored about the physical system is merely a subset of
Perhaps, if you take off a layer, or maybe two, from anything and everything functioning/existing in this universe, the underlying layer would be of Mathematics. Behind every pattern that ever existed to big machineries digging up holes in the
The talks about computer science as a discipline that’s absolutely hot in trend are all pervasive. Of course, for the right reasons for most part, the field spans across the major pillars of our everyday life, and forms an inescapable basis of
S04 | E03: Zeroing In with Prof. Debayan Gupta | On Keeping and Working with Secrets for Scaled SocietiesIn the information era where knowledge is vast and the possibilities are only limited to one’s imagination, Computer Science has advanc
The most basic of survival necessity is food—the plate at the end of the day. While the human population began settling down from the hunter-gatherer stage, it became quite essential for us to find ways of bringing our food to our vicinity. Set
S04 | E03: Zeroing In with Dr. V. K. Dadhwal | On Pertinence of Remote Sensing in Agriculture In the upcoming episode of Zeroing In, we delve into the topic of agriculture, the foundation of human sustenance. As we settled into a more stable
What does it take to design, create, and settle a city? Humankind has resolved these questions in varying epochs and geographical contexts, very differently, when looked into the details of — and through all these brilliant ways of becoming, we
S04 | E02: Zeroing In with Prof. Geetam Tiwari | On City Planning and Routes to Engineering a MegaCityCity life is a complex and intricate experience that we all navigate in our own ways. Our daily routines, shortcuts, and familiar routes give
Zeroing In with Prof. Kalyan Chakraborty | On Scientific Perspectives of Human History & Archaeology
Have you ever wondered how human civilsations took shape? How much do we know from our shared past, and how far do we have a scientific basis for these stories?Exploring the depths of our past and unearthing the mysteries of ancient civilizat
S04 | E01: Zeroing In with Prof. Kalyan Chakraborty • While building up a city, it’s quite crucial to go down a bit. It is quite amusing to see how much a half broken eating bowl buried under ash of Pompeii can reveal stories of its citizens.
Our everyday lives are lined by collective behaviour of all kinds of things, particles, and beings. Have you wondered if it is possible to formulate physical ideas that can lead us to understanding these fascinating behaviours that seem to appe
How do you connect the tiniest particles of universe to macro systems — what do you find common in a bunch of strongly interacting atoms and a flock of bird? All these systems are brought under the same hood by Condensed Matter Physics! Perhap
“Science is like a Pandora box – It is a never ending quest” Quoting Prof. Joshi from our conversation with him, where he simply yet elegantly points out the most fundamental idea of science – more the questions your try to answer, the more yo
What does it take to pursue observational astronomy and how does it look like? For all these stars, and the exotic (anti)matter that lies all across our universe— how do we even muster the courage to embark on a journey that leads to decipherin
The universe we inhabit is teeming with remarkable mysteries, far removed from the extraordinarily insignificant corner that the Earth occupies. Mysteries of which, we can only see the traces of, and they still, very beautifully, cradle answers
Looking up at the night sky, how do you identify the difference between all the twinkling objects above? Among those stars are the kinds that revolve with such precision that they act as very stable clocks and give a competition to the precise
