She teaches all about quantum physics in a fun and simple way. Quantum physics is the study of the smallest things in the universe, and it's one of the most fascinating and important branches of science. But it can also be very confusing, especially for kids. In this podcast, Tanvi explains complex concepts like entanglement, superposition, uncertainty principle and a lot more, in a way that anyone can understand. So whether you're a kid, a parent, or just someone curious about quantum physics, subscribe NOW!","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/quantum-physics-for-kids-6713249"},"episode":{"title":"The Four Constants that Change the Universe - Boltzmann, Planck, Speed of Light, Euler’s Number","slug":"the-four-constants-that-change-the-universe-boltzmann-planck-speed-of-light-euler-s-number","published_at":"2024-10-12T11:06:53+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/quantum-physics-for-kids-6713249/the-four-constants-that-change-the-universe-boltzmann-planck-speed-of-light-euler-s-number","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/quantum-physics-for-kids-6713249","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tanvigopalan/episodes/The-Four-Constants-that-Change-the-Universe---Boltzmann--Planck--Speed-of-Light--Eulers-Number-e2pihdo","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/e9887004/podcast/play/92930936/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2024-9-12%2F387967325-44100-2-e70ee2e51b8c6.mp3","summary":"Explore the four fundamental mathematical and physical constants that define the behavior of our universe.
