Dr. Hans-Benjamin Braun on The Dirk Pohlmann Show - 1 July 2023

On today's show, Was Nordstream blown up with a mini-nuke? Dr. Hans-Benjamin Braun, until last year professor of physics, is another bombshell interview on the Dirk Pohlmann Show. The Swiss born physicist with a long list of highly quoted publications and additional degrees in mathematics and geology has published a big hypothesis which needs big proof. Prof. Braun is convinced 7 sets of measurement data (e.g. seismological, water temperature, isotopes in the air) he obtained from public sources can only be interpreted as proof of the use of an underwater thermonuclear device of 1-3 kilotons yield.

GUEST OVERVIEW: Hans-Benjamin Braun has a PhD in Theoretical Physics at ETH in Zurich that he earned in 1991. His undergraduate degree was in mathematics and physics from the University of Basel (Switzerland). After postdoctoral research at the Physics Department and the Center for Magnetic Recording Research at the University of California at San Diego he was awarded a NSERC International Fellowship to work at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver (Canada). Subsequently he returned to Switzerland to take up a position as Senior Scientist at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI). He joined the Faculty of the School of Physics at University College Dublin (UCD) in 2004, where he founded and led the group in Condensed Matter Theory supported by the Science Foundation of Ireland. Prof. Braun developed the theory for nonuniform thermally activated magnetisation reversal in nanowires which now forms the basis for the design of perpendicular magnetic recording media. Well before it was recognized experimentally, he theoretically predicted quasi one-dimensional behavior in magnetic nanowires and he introduced the now widely used notion of domain wall chirality. His work led to the prediction of the spontaneous emergence of spin currents in quantum spin chains, an effect that he and his collaborators subsequently observed via spin polarised neutron scattering. Furthermore he proposed and interpreted a series of experiments on nanolithographic arrays that led to the discovery of emergent monopoles in artificial spin ice together with colleagues from PSI and UCD. In addition to numerous publications in top research journals he also authored popular articles for the French and German versions of Scientific American and he holds two patents.
