À propos de cet audio

 In this Halloween-special episode of Math! Science! History!, your host Gabrielle Birchak explores the strange world where superstition meets science. We dive into why machines sometimes bow to the mere presence of an engineer (the “Engineer Proximity Effect”) and how one of the greatest physicists of the 20th century, Wolfgang Pauli, became the subject of an odd legend: wherever he went, lab equipment failed (the “Pauli Effect”). Join us for a spooky, fun, and surprisingly rational journey into the magical aura of tech support and haunted machines. Three Take-aways Why machines seem to fix themselves when the engineer enters the room, and the psychological and procedural forces behind the so-called Engineer Proximity Effect.The story behind the Pauli Effect, the absurd, amusing, and true folklore of Wolfgang Pauli and failing lab apparatus when he was nearby.How you can use a “spellbook for engineers” to break the cycle of tech gremlins, practical, science-based “spells” you can actually use to feel like you’re doing a bit of Halloween magic while being perfectly logical.
