Physics Is Not Fear

In this episode, Madeline chats with Tony Cancio, a professor of physics at Ball State University. Through many laughs and stories, they discuss him growing up in DC, his education at Columbia University and University of Illinois, how his love of math and physical chemistry led him to physics, the culture of the Ivy League schools, his research in density functional theory, church architecture, the influence of his godmother and his Cuban family on his faith, the idea of foolishness, how he got involved with church choirs, why everyone should experience the Easter Vigil, what constitutes sacred music, the need for logical consistency, the importance of working on stuff that challenges you, knowing when you're wrong, going to Mass when you travel, and so much more!

During the course of their conversation, they make many references which you can explore. Some of these references include the show Cheers, the Star Wars films, and episode 179 of the Seeking Excellence podcast.
