  Why Homo Floresiensis May Still Be Around with Dr. Gregory Forth

  Aug 26, 202653 min

  Why the Flores Hobbit May Still Be Alive...In 2003 on the island of Flores in Indonesia something was discovered that was both surprising and mysterious. A previously undiscovered hominoid related closely to modern humans. Termed at the time a hobbit, this species lived on Flores Island until modern humans arrived sometime around 50,000 years ago. The problem with the find is that skeletons of Homo Floresiensis are very sparse, with only nine individuals known, and most evidence coming from a single find site located in a single cave. It’s since been determined that Homo Floresiensis was an early species of Homo, but a sister species of homo habilis, as opposed to being examples of unusual modern humans. Just how long after the arrival of modern humans homo floresiensis survived is hotly debated, but it has been advanced that they may have still been around as recently as 12,000 years ago. That’s getting really recent for another hominoid other than homo sapiens. But that’s all based on limited paleontological evidence, what of evidence from anthropology?

  Are Axions Dark Matter? w/ Nobel Laureate Frank Wilczek

  Aug 25, 202653 min

  Frank Wilczek is a theoretical physicist, author, and intellectual adventurer. He has received many prizes for his work, including a Nobel Prize in Physics and most recently, in 2022 the Templeton prize. Wilczek has made seminal contributions to fundamental particle physics, cosmology and the physics of materials. His current research focus includes Axions, Anyons, and Time Crystals. These are concepts in physics which he named and pioneered. Each has become a major focus of world-wide research. In recent years Frank has become fascinated with prospects for expanding perception through technology. He is developing hardware and software tools for this.

  U.S. Congress investigates UFOs | Here's Why with Rep. Tim Burchett

  Aug 24, 202643 min

  The recent Congress UAP report has lead to them calling witnesses from the Pentagon for the first Congress UFO panel in 50 years. Congress is having a hearing on UAP, Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (Open and Closed) hearings on Tuesday, May 17th.For the first time since 1970 and the closure of Project Bluebook, the US air force’s probe into the UFO/UAP phenomenon, the US congress has taken on a new probe of just what’s going on with that phenomenon. Now this is a topic I normally would not cover, as a skeptic, but with an open mind. But I’d be remiss if I didn’t cover it, given that we have former president Barack Obama stating publicly that the phenomenon is real, the late Harry Reid, former Senate Majority leader stating that Lockheed Martin has in its possession alien technology, and two government reports stating that at least the US Navy regularly has encounters with the phenomenon along with the militaries of China, the UK, France, etc. The phenomenon cannot be ignored any longer, and taboos must be dropped regarding talking about it.

  Are There Alien Artifacts Orbiting Earth? w/ Beatriz Villarroel

  Aug 23, 202633 min

  Are these Lurkers? Researcher Beatriz Villarroel found bright, shiny, possibly flat or complex shaped objects that were in geo-synchronous orbit with Earth in the early 50's. Well before Sputnik or any other attempted satellites. Also, three of the objects travel in a straight line.We live in a world where we are constantly observing ourselves from orbit. We don’t even think twice about the satellite surveillance of our world because it’s us doing it. But imagine if we were being watched by someone else, far before the dawn of the space age by some unknown agent. More, think of a scenario where it was watching us, and we were inadvertently with our astronomical photographic plates watching it as well. In 1957 the Soviet Union launched humanity’s first orbital satellite, Sputnik 1 ushering in the age of telecommunications and satellites of all flavors from weather to espionage. But our ability to monitor the skies photographically stretches decades before the advent of human space travel, leaving us with an enormous collection of astronomical survey plates to study. Within these plates, previous to 1957, you shouldn’t expect to find anything transient presenting itself as a satellite since we didn’t have them yet.
