Explore the extraordinary history of physics, from the earliest attempts to explain motion, matter, light, and the heavens to the discoveries that transformed our understanding of space, time, energy, atoms, and the universe. The History of Physics Podcast follows the thinkers, experiments, equations, instruments, institutions, and scientific revolutions that built modern physics across thousands of years. Episodes trace ideas from ancient Greek natural philosophy, astronomy, and mechanics through the Scientific Revolution, Galileo, Kepler, Newton, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, optics, statistical mechanics, relativity, quantum theory, nuclear physics, particle physics, cosmology, and the search for deeper laws of nature. The show also explores famous experiments, rivalries between scientists, failed theories, technological breakthroughs, major laboratories, mathematical innovations, and the historical circumstances that changed the direction of scientific thought. Whether you are interested in Newton and Einstein, quantum mechanics, black holes, electricity, atomic theory, space exploration, or the people behind the equations, the podcast tells the human story of how physics developed and why its discoveries changed civilization. The History of Physics Podcast is hosted by Josh Linsk.© 2026 History Podcasts & Josh Linsk. All rights reserved. Mondiale Scienza Scienze sociali

  • Kepler’s Break from Circularity: How Ellipses Revolutionized Astronomy

    Kepler’s Break from Circularity: How Ellipses Revolutionized Astronomy
    Oct 8 2026
    In this episode we trace how Tycho Brahe’s precise observations forced Johannes Kepler to abandon the long‑held belief that planets move in perfect circles. By discovering elliptical orbits, Kepler not only resolved planetary speed variations but also laid the geometrical groundwork for Newtonian gravity and modern celestial mechanics.

  • Aristarchus' Heliocentric Revolution: Putting the Sun at the Center

    Aristarchus' Heliocentric Revolution: Putting the Sun at the Center
    Oct 8 2026
    In this episode we trace Aristarchus of Samos’s bold claim that the Earth orbits a gigantic sun—an idea that pre‑dated Copernicus by nearly a millennium. We explore his geometric reasoning, the backlash from geocentric authorities, and how his numbers seeded a paradigm shift that only blossomed when technology caught up.

  • The Mohist Camera Obscura: From Speculation to Experiment

    The Mohist Camera Obscura: From Speculation to Experiment
    Oct 8 2026
    In this episode we follow the Chinese Mohists’ first recording of the camera obscura around 500 BCE, turning a speculative idea into an experiment that challenged contemporary notions of light and image. We trace its journey through Ibn al‑Haytham’s 10th‑century experiments and see how it laid groundwork for telescopes, lenses, and modern imaging. Learn more about your ad choices.
