What properties make helices common in nature, from DNA to whirlpools to EMR? 50:58 Can you tell us why electrons in the atoms of the Sun do not burn due to the heat? 58:06 How does superconducting magnet levitation work? 1:00:14 Fermions and bosons... Are hadrons the intersection between them? 1:06:49 Is there much use for superconductivity in space where the temp is already close to 0 K? 1:10:00 Especially in places without an insulating atmosphere around, superconductors should be a serious option. Much easier to dissipate heat! 1:14:13 Aren't there Japanese maglev trains on which there are cooling systems? 1:14:50 I believe these flux tubes also show up in gravity, leading to dark matter and dark energy effects. 1:19:00 What do you think has the most potential for changing the energy crisis, and what field do you think we need to focus on to get there? 1:28:52 As long as the nuke plant isn't dual-use for producing plutonium, then I think it's safe. 1:31:50 Thermovoltaic cells are a new thing that seem interesting for the efficiency of steam turbines.
