  • Episode #355: God's Eye View - The Physics of Consciousness
    Jun 24 2025
    Dr. Trevor Lohman is an assistant professor and researcher into the neuroscience of aging. He joins us in this episode to give us a crash course on the physical functions of the brain, and how current science still has no good explanation for the phenomena of consciousness. We discuss the history of quantum physics experiments into the "double slit" problem and the collapse of the wave function, and how consciousness seems to be fundamental to how the universe works. If you are interested and want to know more, you can get Trevor's book, "God's Eye View" here:

  • Episode #353: Pyramids and Cart Ruts
    Jun 9 2025

    We start off with some good old spaceweather news, which leads into a discussion of the earth's rapidly weakening magnetic field and the possibility of a polarity flip. We then move on to some discussion of further observations on the construction of pyramids and new things we learned in our recent trip in Egypt.

    In the second half of the show, we talk about the amazing cart ruts we visited in the Phrygian Valley in Turkey. We show lots of pictures and video, and discuss and discard multiple hypotheses on what they are and how they were formed.

    Join us, Ben from UnchartedX, Adam Young, and Karoly Poka for an afternoon at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York where we will peruse their collection of Ancient Egyptian artifacts, then we will move to the Explorer's Club for dinner and presentations from us and Ben!

These guys are so funny that once I found them I went and listened all the way through from the first episode released.

Covering an eclectic range of topics, their pleasant voices and enquiring minds deliver insights and raise more questions than can be answered, yet.

Definitely worth listening to all the way through so you can begin to grasp why they're at where they are now in their quest for knowledge.
