Danny is an independent researcher. He is the founder of Code of Reality (COR), an interdisciplinary initiative that explores what he calls Cognitive Physics: the fertile territory where mind and matter meet. He is essentially asking, "what is the physics of cognition?". COR convenes scientists, philosophers, technologists, and indigenous wisdom-keepers in collaborative investigations designed to blur the line between observer and observed. By fostering dialogue across disciplines normally siloed from one another, COR serves as both a research hub and a cultural bridge, advancing a holistic science of consciousness that can thrive alongside mainstream physics.

Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski is a first-generation Cuban-American theoretical physicist from Chicago whose life has been shaped by flight and physics. She began flight lessons at age nine and, between ages 12 and 14, built a single-engine Zenith CH 601 XL aircraft from a kit, making her own engineering modifications after fatal midair breakups involving the model. At 16, before she had a driver’s license, she flew the aircraft solo. The FAA later allowed her demonstration flight to validate her modifications before grounding the fleet. At MIT, Pasterski became the first freshman selected for NASA’s January Operational Internship, received the inaugural MIT Freshman Entrepreneurship Award, interned at NASA Kennedy Space Center and CERN, and graduated first in her MIT Physics class. She earned her PhD from Harvard in 2019 under Andrew Strominger, focusing on quantum gravity, then joined Canada’s Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics at 27 as its youngest faculty member and one of only three women on staff at the time. She now leads the Celestial Holography Initiative, and her honors include Scientific American’s 30 Under 30, Forbes 30 Under 30 in Science, and the Albert Einstein Foundation’s “100 Greatest Innovators.” Shawn Ryan Show Sponsors: Live better longer with BUBS Naturals.

Two guests, one wild story. Ben Owen and Ryan Dalton join the show to break down their 2026 expedition to Little St. James, Jeffrey Epstein's former private island, and what happened when it went sideways. Ben Owen is the founder of We Fight Monsters, a Memphis-based anti-trafficking and addiction nonprofit. A recovered drug addict turned activist, he made national headlines in April 2026 after being detained on the island during a trip to document the property and raise questions about the Epstein case, an incident that ended with a trespassing charge and a disputed account of how he was restrained. Ryan Dalton is a former federal agent, attorney, and co-founder of Closed Horizon, a crowdsourced intelligence and reward platform focused on high-profile investigations. A University of Memphis Law School graduate who once served as a federal agent with the U.S. State Department, Dalton has publicly challenged the official narrative around Epstein's death and helped lead the expedition. We get into what drew them to the island, what they found, the confrontation that followed, and why they believe the Epstein story is far from closed.
