First Principles is the podcast that deconstructs the complex, invisible systems shaping our modern world. Ever wonder how a social media algorithm works, how AI really thinks, or how GPS knows your exact location? Each episode, we break down one concept from its fundamental truths, giving you clarity without the technical jargon. If you're curious about the tech you use every day and want to finally understand it, this is your starting point.First-Principles Podcast 博物学 科学 自然・生態学

    EP69 - Orbital Debris Removal: To Catch Space Junk, Slow Down
    2026/09/08
    Thousands of dead rockets and shattered satellites are falling around the Earth at seventeen thousand five hundred miles per hour, and we have finally started sending machines up to catch them. The first thing engineers learned is that everything your instincts say about the chase is wrong. We break down the strange physics of cleaning up the sky, from slowing down to catch up, to grabbing a tumbling giant that will never, ever stop spinning.

    EP68 - Post-Quantum Cryptography: The Multidimensional Grid That Foils Quantum Computers
    2026/09/05
    When you hit the pay button, invisible math scrambles your secrets so only the right key can read them, and we take it for granted that this lock is unbreakable. But a quantum computer is being built that could crack the exact math our locks are made of. We decode post-quantum cryptography, and the strange multidimensional geometry that is becoming the new shield for your digital life.

    EP67 - Silicon Photonics: Putting Speed-of-Light Motors on a Chip
    2026/09/02
    The most advanced AI in the world is not limited by how fast its chips think, but by how slowly they can move data between them over copper wires that waste energy as heat. The answer is to carve the chip from a substance that is crystal-clear to invisible light, and put lasers, lenses, and light-movers right onto the silicon itself. We crack open the waveguide to see how moving data with photons instead of electrons unlocks the future of computing.
