"Wait, you don't do commercial breaks?" (heavily paraphrased)

Thanks. I'll check it out!

I too was fascinated with the segments dealing with theoretical physics, the explanation why the force of gravity is so weak, membranes/dimensions, the bulk, and KK particles. Could anyone recommend some recent resources (books, lectures, essays, etc) that deal with the same topics? They...

True! Seems that Interstellar (2014 movie) style extreme time dilation isn't that common whether due to gravity or speed. That's an interesting point about pilots aging faster due to gravitational time dilation. I could have guessed they would age slower, only taking into account time...

Yeah, I was thinking more along the lines of time dilation, but the differences in relative speeds of different systems and gravity would have to be extreme for it to make such a dramatic difference in experienced time. I guess. I don't understand this stuff. :oops: --------- EDIT ---------...

With the risk of sounding like a total dumbfxck, I wanted to ask about this thought that popped into my head today. Now, the Earth is making its trip around the Sun at a certain velocity and the Sun's gravity is affecting the Earth a certain way and let's say there are some other worlds -...

I am, myself, philosophically (and perhaps ideologically) an anarchist. But, realistically an advocate of direct democracy. That's neither here or there as far as this thread is concerned. However, neither is the question of private vs. tax payer budget of "space science". There IS a...

The topic of why NASA and/or simply we (as humans) haven't put a man on the moon for a long time or been more adamant about getting people on Mars comes up time to time. Some say it's the lack of resources or just the lack of interest since the space war was already fought (and won). Others...

I don't much like Star Wars and Star Trek and the like. Although, the 2000's version of Battlestar did keep me intrigued. My absolute favorite is Farscape. Firefly's cool too. Defiance has potential... The first season was awesome and I think the 2nd season will pretty quickly determine...

+1 Gene - Farscape ;)

In reference to this: Everybody check this video: A "good public speaker" can be trained so that the people hearing him or her will tell everyone how great his or her lecture was, but when asked to review some of the content of the talk, they can't remember a thing because there actually...

Enjoyable show. Binnall did one with him last week as well. Did I just imagine this: Gene and Chris asked Paul whether he knew Nick Redfern to which he says 'yes' and an hour or so later Paul asks Chris and Gene if they know Nick Redfern and Paul enthusiastically describes who Mr. Redfern...

There is no "angst against Gene" in my post. Yes. There are people who have trouble comprehending spoken language and ideas expressed within. That doesn't mean you have to hold their hand every step of the way just in case they might blame you for not doing so. Especially with a guest like...

I agree with everyone, that was a great show with Nick Redfern. Gene, you really think you have to point out "Now, everyone, these are not Nick's personal beliefs, but roads his research took him down" (loosely paraphrased) I mean, if any "skeptics" or "non-skeptics" can't put that together...

It can, but you could also go deeper and explain tulpas by "parasites". Then you can go deeper and explain parasites by the trickster factor. (Although the trickster factor is itself so tricksterish that it doesn't really explain anything. That's not to say it isn't important or that we can't...
