Unlock Your Superhuman Potential with Caroline Cory
M
3:14Michael BeckwithHOST
I don't like it when people don't activate their potential, and so we're always speaking about that at some level.
M
3:19Michael BeckwithHOST
Her lifelong interest in consciousness and the mechanics of the universe led her to develop meditation methodologies and collaborate on research with scientists affiliated with institutions including Harvard Medical School, the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, the Institute of Noetic Sciences, and Stanford University.
M
3:43Michael BeckwithHOST
So she's one of the people taking woo woo to wow, the world of wonder.
M
3:48Michael BeckwithHOST
In 2010, she founded the Omnium Media, creating films that bring scientific investigation to subjects often considered outside conventional inquiry.
Supervoids
D
19:45Daniel WhitesonHOST
And so people started doing this seriously in the '70s.
D
19:48Daniel WhitesonHOST
Uh, the Center for Astrophysics at Harvard and the Smithsonian started to do this with the Tillinghast Telescope, and they were surprised.
D
19:55Daniel WhitesonHOST
They surveyed, like, 2,200 galaxies, and they saw that things were not smooth, right? It didn't look like galaxies were distributed randomly across the universe.
D
20:04Daniel WhitesonHOST
They were clustered together into these bubbles.
Listening to the Stars: The First Radio Signal From an Exoplanet
S
2:12speaker_2HOST
When you factor in the sheer volume of chaotic noise radiating throughout the universe, tuning into one specific rhythmic frequency from that far away, it requires, uh, just an astronomical feat of engineering.
S
2:26speaker_5HOST
Which brings us to September 2026 and this massive breakthrough led by Kevin Ortiz Ceballos at the Center for Astrophysics, you know, the collaboration between Harvard and the Smithsonian.
S
2:36speaker_2HOST
You're right, a really historic moment.
S
2:38speaker_5HOST
Because for the very first time, astronomers detected radio signals coming directly from an exoplanet.
Exoplanet radio signal discovery boosts habitable world search

Scientists have detected radio signals directly from an exoplanet for the first time in history.
S
0:19speaker_0NARRATOR
The International Research Team at the Center for Astrophysics, led by Kevin Ortas, was able to identify recurring radio bursts coming from a massive gas giant located approximately 63 light years away from Earth.
S
0:41speaker_0NARRATOR
Scientists have confirmed that this is a natural phenomenon.
S

Scientists have detected radio signals directly from an exoplanet for the first time in history.
S
2:45speaker_2NARRATOR
The international research team at the Centry-- at the Center for Astrophysics, led by Kevin Ortas, was able to identify recurring radio bursts coming from a massive gas giant located approximately sixty-three light years away from Earth.
S
3:07speaker_2NARRATOR
Scientists have confirmed that this is a natural phenomena.

Busted! The Anunnaki Were Blue! Experience Dumps a load of Evidence
S
21:11Suzanne RossGUEST
And what I would say is this, I'd say, Things come in in a variety of different forms, and I'm happy to share what some of those things are because there's such a wide variety that whatever I'm tapped into, whoever I am, there's a, you know, like all of us, we all have a purpose that we're here, right? I've been able to remote view places in the cosmos.
S
21:42Suzanne RossGUEST
I've worked with a team of scientists at Harvard, the Harvard Smithsonian Observatory, and was able to basically remote view how A universe can condense and form into a new universe.
S
22:00Suzanne RossGUEST
That was information that I was given between 10 and 20 years ago.
S
22:07Suzanne RossGUEST
So I finally was working with a team of scientists and doing that.

C
9:20Chris PlanteHOST
Oops, our, uh, Chinese-made satellite seems to have malfunctioned.
C
9:24Chris PlanteHOST
On September fourth, uh, the US Space Force cataloged forty-three debris objects from the breakup of Yaogan-50, uh, according to Jonathan McDowell, former astrophysicist at the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, who tracks space activity.
C
9:43Chris PlanteHOST
And now the pesky debris, uh, satellite fragments are currently at an altitude, uh, ranging between three hundred and seventy-two miles and six hundred and eighty-three miles.
C
9:54Chris PlanteHOST
Look what the patriarchy has done.
Dubai’s new 80km road: can it keep up with the city’s growth?
G
30:40Georgia TolleyHOST
So how worried should we be here on Earth? Well, here is space analyst Jonathan McDowell.
G
30:44Georgia TolleyHOST
He's a former astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.
G
30:49Georgia TolleyHOST
I spoke to him a little earlier.
J
30:50Jonathan McDowellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It is a huge step and a huge escalation of the militarization of space, in my opinion.

G
39:14Georgia TolleyHOST
My goodness me.
G
39:14Georgia TolleyHOST
Food for thought there.

I've got a question for you.
America’s Stonehenge: The Ancient Mystery Hidden in New England
D
39:53Dennis StoneGUEST
You know, we just didn't have the big funds to do it all at once, so it took about four years.
D
39:58Dennis StoneGUEST
And in 1977, they sent that data to the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass.
D
40:04Dennis StoneGUEST
And the result was they said, well, if your stones were used for astronomical purposes, they would work about 1800 BC plus or minus, about two centuries.
D
40:12Dennis StoneGUEST
And that kind of agrees with the oldest carbon dating on the main site of 4,000 years old.
