JFK: The Final Speech

The Dark Journalist delves into the long-silenced mysteries that surround John F. Kennedy’s last speech — the one he never delivered. This is the speech he was set to give on Nov. 22, 1963 — the day he was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. He was on his way to the Dallas Trade Mart, to give the speech, when he was gunned down in cold blood.

“There is some material here that does actually change history,” says the Dark Journalist, Daniel Liszt. He introduces us to Lloyd Berkner, the physicist who was supposed to join Kennedy at the Dallas Trade Market. But, more importantly, he dives deeply into the issues of Antarctica, aerospace and the UFO files.

That Dude Is Levitating!

Cliff High offers one of his more philosophical pieces, although one that’s quite perceptive in showing why our sciences are so limiting and why many scientists cannot come to terms with reality. Much of the problem rests with dictates of science laid down by René Descartes, the 17th century philosopher from France who laid down the groundwork for analytical geometry and served as a key figure in the Scientific Revolution.

What was the problem with Descartes? High says the Frenchmen didn’t understand the importance of consciousness, and how we can use our thoughts or our energies to control our own bodies, or even to observe or weigh disease in others. This is a far-ranging discussion. High gets into Aikido. He explains why he doesn’t believe in med beds. He even imagines going to Mars on an excursion with the biologists Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying.

This might not be your cup of tea, but if you’re wondering why biology, physics and other sciences seem so stymied and why they are drifting nowadays, Cliff High provides a few valuable clues. This video is part of his Explorers’ Guide To the SciFi World.

Rediscover The Electric Universe

Physicists and art researchers stumble upon an impossible coincidence repeated all over the world. Is plasma proof we live in an electric universe? And did the ancients know the truth about the cosmos millennia before today’s scientists rediscovered it?

A protective Assyrian statue is buried for decades to shield it from war. What strange features did it have that point to an advanced past culture? From strange symbols and magic worship to modern morality and inventions, this Edge of Wonder Live will take you on a deep dive nobody else is going on. See you out on the edge!

The Universe Is a Paradox

Based on what we know about physics, the universe as we know it should not exist.  Scientists posit that it should of been destroyed not long after it was formed. As to why it wasn’t, stands as one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in science. Host Hank Green of SciShow explains.

Immortality Within Reach

Theoretical physicist Michio Kaku tells us that science’s Connectome Project will soon have the technology to map the pathway of the entire human brain, paving the way for genetic and digital immortality. “It will map all your memories, quirks, personalities, everything digitized,” says Kaku. “And, it will put it on a disc, and for the most part, will put it in libraries.” Imagine visiting a library of the future and conversing with Einstein or Churchill? Kaku elaborates in this episode of Big Think.

Search for Hidden Dimensions

Theoretical physicist Brian Greene says that although we are immersed in our three-dimensional world in day-to-day life, we have found it useful to imagine that there may be more realms. “We have found, at least theoretically, using mathematics, if you engage that possibility of more than three dimensions, certain problems in physics admit to a solution.” He explains further in this presentation sponsored by the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science.

God’s Fingerprint

“Fibonacci numbers are of interest to biologists and physicists because they are frequently observed in various natural objects and phenomena. The branching patterns in trees and leaves, for example, and the distribution of seeds in a raspberry are based on Fibonacci numbers.

A Sanskrit grammarian, Pingala, is credited with the first mention of the sequence of numbers, sometime between the fifth century B.C. and the second or third century A.D. Since Fibonacci introduced the series to Western civilization, it has had a high profile from time to time. Recently, in The Da Vinci Code , for example, the Fibonacci sequence is part of an important clue.”

In this episode of the Numberphile, Dr. Holly Krieger from Murray Edwards College at the University of Cambridge, outlines the mathematical sequences that under lay Fibonacci numbers.

And here, SerialBrain2 connects the dots, drawing upon the Fibonacci work in mathematics, physics and biology, to begin to show the intelligent design of galaxies and star systems, as well as some of the nefarious forces here on planet Earth that are intent to hold us back, to block our knowledge and to drive a wedge between mankind and our creator.

Was Einstein Wrong?

The Theory of Relativity is one of the foundations of modern physics, along with Quantum Theory. So it came as a monumental shock to scientists when the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland, conducted an atom-smashing experiment that concluded that Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity might be wrong. “All hell broke loose in the physics community,” says Michio Kaku, professor of theoretical physics at City College of New York. Kaku explains in this educational edition of Big Think.

Einstein’s Gravity

In 1907 a young Albert Einstein was looking for a way to extend his special theory of relativity to include acceleration. It took him eight years to come up with the mathematical solution that we know as the general theory of relativity.
