Allan Sandage once said that when he became a graduate student at Caltech, in the late 1940s, he was a “hick who fell off the turnip truck.” He fell at the feet of Edwin Hubble, the most famous astronomer of the time. Hubble was ill, so Sandage gathered data for him at the world’s largest telescope. When Hubble died, a few years later, Sandage took over much of his work. And like Hubble, he expanded the size and age of the universe, and shaped much of the debate over its fate. Sandage was born 100 years ago today, in Iowa City. He got interested in astronomy while looking through the telescope of a boyhood friend. Over the decades, he contributed to many areas of astronomy. As an example, he pioneered studies of globular clusters – large clumps of ancient stars. That work led to a better understanding of the age of the universe. Many of the stars in globulars appeared to be older than the universe – an impossibility. Sandage used that and other lines of evidence to greatly increase the known age of the universe. One line of evidence was the rate at which the universe is expanding – a number known as the Hubble constant. Hubble himself had come up with a number that was much too big, implying a much younger age. Sandage calculated a rate that was close to modern numbers. Sandage wasn’t always right. But his work shaped the field of cosmology for decades – and still has an impact today. Script by Damond Benningfield

In 2022, scientists found a gene in your frontal lobe that no other species has ever carried. A 4,000-year-old Sumerian tablet already told us how it got there.Is the Anunnaki ancient astronaut hypothesis a fantasy built on bad cuneiform translations—or did Zecharia Sitchin decode Sumerian tablets that mainstream scholars have been misreading for centuries?I deep dive into the TKTL1 gene mutation—a single amino acid discovered by the Max Planck Institute that gives every modern human more frontal lobe neurons than the Neanderthal genome ever produced—and why it reads like the human genetic engineering conspiracy Sitchin described in 1976.I investigate why Caltech's Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown are hunting Planet 9 in the outer solar system, why the Atrahasis epic human creation story mirrors the Genesis vs Sumerian flood myth word for word, and why the Paracas skulls DNA results still haven't been peer-reviewed.Topics (among others):Enki and Enlil Sumerian Gods: How the Adapa primitive worker lulu was designed in a place the tablets called E.DIN—the Garden of Eden—as a fix to a gold-mining rebellion.Forbidden Archaeology Meets Real Science: How CRISPR gene editing on fetal brain tissue confirmed that basal radial glia cells evolution hinges on one variant Neanderthals never carried.Nibiru vs. Planet 9: Why Caltech outer solar system anomalies revived a fifty-year-old alternative history theory—and why the orbital math still doesn't add up.Consider Supporting + Receive Bonus Content⁠

In this episode of See See by Ceci, N. Katherine Hayles, Distinguished Research Professor at UCLA, James B. Duke Professor Emerita at Duke, Guggenheim Fellow and member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, joins us from the rare crossroads at which she has worked for forty years: literature, science, technology and, now, artificial intelligence. Trained as a chemist at Rochester and Caltech before crossing into literary scholarship, she is a foremost authority on the relations between literature and computational media, and the author of How We Became Posthuman (1999) and, most recently, Bacteria to AI: Human Futures with our Nonhuman Symbionts (University of Chicago Press, 2025). In this rich and demanding conversation, Hayles redefines cognition as the interpretation of information in contexts that connect with meaning, a capacity she ascribes to bacteria, plants, fungi, animals and, increasingly, AI. She walks us through her integrated cognitive framework and the SIRAL criteria (sensing, interpreting, responding adaptively, anticipating, learning); through von Uexküll's umwelt, the world each species spins for itself; through cognitive assemblages in which humans, microbes and machines decide together; and through her sharp distinction between actors and agents. As a literary critic, she also turns her gaze on AI-produced literature, on hallucinations as imagination, and on Walter Benjamin's aura in the age of the deep fake. With reflections from neuroscientist John Cryan on the gut microbiome, historian Richard Bourke on the Kantian self, classicist Richard P. Martin on AI and imagination, and choreographer Alexander Whitley on embodiment. This is an episode about the uncoupling of cognition from consciousness, Hayles' most crucial move. About a posthuman in which the human itself is being rewritten. And about the very determined optimism of a thinker who insists that hope is not the reward at the end of the work, but the precondition for it. N. Katherine Hayles is the author of twelve influential books, including the landmark How We Became Posthuman, widely regarded as a seminal foundation for posthumanism, My Mother Was a Computer: Digital Subjects and Literary Texts (2005), Unthought: The Power of the Cognitive Nonconscious (2017), and her latest, Bacteria to AI: Human Futures with our Nonhuman Symbionts (University of Chicago Press, 2025). A member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and recipient of fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Rockefeller Foundation, Hayles has transformed our understanding of the digital age.

A man on our block sat between burning cauldrons in a devil costume every Halloween, and the year I was finally brave enough to trick-or-treat at his house, he gave me something that wasn't candy at all.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/TrickOrTreatDevilFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: A local lake's water turned crystal clear overnight, every fish and plant gone from its depths, and the two university microbiologists who collected a sample to find out why brought something back to the lab that should never have left the water. (Amoeba) *** Two out-of-state hunters were found torn apart in a cabin north of town — one man's leg inside, the other's upper torso on the roof — and the night four friends gathered in a basement in the small mountain town of Linglestown to drink beer and laugh about the creature stalking the local woods, heavy footsteps started crossing the floor above them. (The Cycle) *** A secret modification had pushed Keck Observatory's telescope to 45 billion light-years — the very edge of the known universe — and when they called Caltech's astronomy chief for his opinion, what he saw wasn't a star, a galaxy, or a nebula, but something that appeared to be looking back. (A Scarecrow For God) *** In the 1970s suburban neighborhood where I grew up, every kid measured his bravery by whether he'd ever walked up the lawn of the man who dressed as the devil on Halloween, and the year my best friend and I finally took the dare, what was dropped into my candy bag turned a rite of passage into something far stranger.

A new play based on the true story of Qian Xuesen, the brilliant aerospace engineer from China who helped launch America's space age—until Cold War paranoia forever changed the course of his life...and ours. Qian Xuesen, a promising young engineer from China, travels to America in 1935 on a Boxer Indemnity Scholarship. Advancing quickly through the ranks at MIT and Caltech, he becomes a pioneer of the American space age, co-founding JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) and helping the United States of America win World War II. Then, as extreme nationalism swells at the beginning of the Cold War, Xuesen finds himself accused of being a Communist, and what happens next shapes the future of both his new and native homelands. Developed by Henry Ong and director and dramaturg Diana Wyenn from 2016 until the playwright's passing in 2018, this production marks the long-awaited world premiere of the beloved playwright and LA Theater champion's prescient and timely final play. Inspired by true events and filled with Ong's signature blend of heart and humor, Ascent reveals how fear, extreme nationalism, and xenophobia affects individual lives, shapes political decisions, and overshadows truth—often with lasting global consequences.

Host Radell Lewis breaks down the most consequential week in American politics in 2026 on this episode of Purple Political Breakdown, the nonpartisan show built on political solutions without political bias. We open with the assassination attempt on President Trump at the White House Correspondents Dinner, where 31 year old Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, California breached a Secret Service checkpoint at the Washington Hilton with a shotgun, a handgun, and multiple knives. We walk through the manifesto, the Caltech background, the donation history, the Karoline Leavitt shots fired in the room misinformation cycle, and how MAGA immediately weaponized the attack to push Trump's $400 million East Wing ballroom.From there we get into the Supreme Court's 6 to 3 Louisiana v. Callais ruling that Justice Kagan called all but a dead letter for Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, the Florida House and Senate ramming through Governor DeSantis's mid decade gerrymander to flip the state's delegation to a 24 to 4 Republican advantage, the end of the longest DHS shutdown in American history with ICE and Border Patrol still excluded from the funding bill, the Justice Department's expansion of federal execution methods to firing squads, electrocution, and gas asphyxiation, and the firing of every sitting member of the National Science Board.We cover the Iran war, the Strait of Hormuz blockade driving gas prices to $4.39 a gallon, Iran's 14 point ceasefire proposal, and the $25 billion munitions price tag. The Breakdown segment unpacks the Thales 2026 Bad Bot Report showing AI driven attacks jumping from 2 million to 25 million per day, the New York Times investigation into Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump's $1.4 billion Syrian luxury resort joint venture with the Khayyat brothers tied to the repeal of the Caesar Act, the Pew poll showing 62% of Americans disapprove of Trump's Iran handling, and the electricity gap reshaping every household budget. We close with ten reasons the world is still moving forward, from the FDA approval of Otarmeni gene therapy that restores hearing in deaf children to the first ever Earthset video captured by Artemis II.Subscribe and rate the show five stars on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

The Left is trying to distance themselves from Cole Tomas Allen, the failed White House Correspondents Dinner attacker, despite his manifesto echoing the same rhetoric that the mainstream Left has been promoting since Trump was elected. Kira Davis breaks down the Left's horseshoe into the conspiracy theorists they previously claimed to despise, analyzes the radicalization of Tinfoil Burrito Allen despite being a highly educated Caltech graduate, and exposes chilling new polling data that shows why “elite” graduates are increasingly supporting political violence.

In this episode, Niall speaks with Dr. Christof Koch, Chief Scientist of the MindScope Program at the Allen Institute for Brain Science, former Professor at Caltech, and author of “Then I Am Myself the World”. Dr. Koch is a leading researcher in the science of consciousness and a key proponent of Integrated Information Theory. In this conversation, they explore: — Why consciousness may be fundamental, while physical matter exists only in relation to other things — How an experience on a beach in Brazil changed his understanding of reality — The discovery of “covert consciousness” in patients thought to be in vegetative states — How the perturbational complexity index (PCI) shows a clear boundary between conscious and unconscious states, and why this matters — How Integrated Information Theory approaches the question of free will You can learn more about Dr. Koch's work at https://christofkoch.com. --- Dr. Christof Koch is a Meritorious Investigator at the Allen Institute. Christof received his baccalaureate from the Lycée Descartes in Rabat, Morocco, his B.S. and M.S. in physics from the University of Tübingen in Germany and his Ph.D. from the Max-Planck Institute for biological Cybernetics in 1982. Subsequently, he spent four years as a postdoctoral fellow in the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and the Brain and Cognitive Sciences Department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. From 1987 until 2013, Koch was a professor at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena, from his initial appointment as Assistant Professor, Division of Biology and Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences in 1986, to his final position as Lois and Victor Troendle Professor of Cognitive & Behavioral Biology. See here for Christof's academic pedigree and his students. Christof joined the Allen Institute for Brain Science as Chief Scientific Officer in 2011 and became President in 2015. Christof writings and interests integrate theoretical, computational and experimental neuroscience with philosophy and contemporary trends, in particular artificial intelligence. His latest book, Then I Am Myself the World: What Consciousness Is and How to Expand It, publish in May 2024. His previous book, Consciousness: Confessions of a Romantic Reductionist, blends science and memoir to explore topics in discovering the roots of consciousness. Stemming in part from a long-standing collaboration with the late Nobel Laureate Francis Crick, Christof authored the book The Quest for Consciousness: A Neurobiological Approach. Koch also authored the technical books Biophysics of Computation: Information Processing in Single Neurons and Methods in Neuronal Modeling: From Ions to Networks, and served as editor for several books on neural modeling and information processing. --- Interview Links: — Dr. Koch's website: https://christofkoch.com — Dr. Koch's book: https://amzn.to/4mIKG9W

Suspicion is widespread that the shooting incident outside the White House Correspondents' Dinner was a "stage-managed" false flag operation engineered by deep state operatives to justify construction of Trump's $400 million White House ballroom, which a federal judge had halted weeks earlier unless for "national security" purposes—and indeed, Trump immediately cited the incident to demand the ballroom.  Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger point to a series of anomalies from the event: Secret Service evacuated JD Vance first while Trump remained seated for nearly 20 seconds, violating protocol that the president must be protected above all else; a Fox News caller was cut off mid-sentence after revealing a warning about "people" in the room; and the shooter's lone tweet from 2023 simply said "Cole" before the attack.  Jimmy notes that the shooter—a Caltech teacher of the year with no criminal record—abruptly opened fire on security personnel when he was hundreds of yards from the president, behavior consistent with MK Ultra mind control programming. He further connects the ballroom's architectural firm (Shalom Barness Associates) to synagogue and temple renovations, and Trump's Bible reading of 2 Chronicles 7 about temple dedication, suggesting the ballroom is designed to resemble Solomon's Temple as part of a Third Temple project. Plus segments on an ex-Seal Team 6 member calling BS on the Charlie Kirk assassination narrative, Dan Bongino insisting that a huge revelation is coming from Kash Patel and Donald Trump, Russian plans to take over major cities in Urkaine and Israel's plans to dominate the Middle East.

It's Tuesday, April 28th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed India: 12th worst persecutor of Christians worldwide India is the twelfth worst persecutor of Christians in the world on the Open Doors World Watch List. It's largely due to the shift brought about by the joint efforts of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh organization and the BJP political party in that country. But now, the RSS General Secretary  told the Hudson Institute last week, that this is a misconception. However, the Religious Liberty Commission of the Evangelical Fellowship of India reports 747 incidents of vandalisms, beatings, false arrests, church burnings, and at least one murder in 2025. This follows a rash of anti-conversion laws brought on by the ruling political parties. In November 2025, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom issued a report recommending that India be placed on the list of Countries of Particular Concern. The report noted that since Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party came into power 12 years ago. … India has “enforced policies that closely align with Hindutva ideology, [a political ideology establishing Hindu dominance which leads to] discriminating and disenfranchising members of India's religious minority communities.” British suicide bill failed to pass Good news! A controversial suicide bill has failed to pass the United Kingdom Parliament. The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill did not receive the support necessary to pass the House of Lords, even though it had passed the House of Commons last year. The proposed law would have granted a supposed “right” for those expected to die within six months to kill themselves.  Proverbs 8:36 speaks of the wisdom of God in these words: “But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul; All those who hate me love death.” Russia killed seven in two Ukrainian cities Still no end in sight for Russia's four-year war on Ukraine. Russia continued to barrage the Ukrainian cities of Dnipro and Odessa over the weekend.  The BBC reports seven people were killed.  Third assassination attempt on President Trump A would-be assassin, Cole Tomas Allen, got very close to the President of the United States Saturday night. Just the day before President Trump was scheduled to attend the White House Correspondents Dinner, Allen, a teacher and mechanical engineer, checked into the hotel armed with guns.  At 8:30pm ET, he approached the stairway leading up to the ballroom where the president was sitting, and fired shots at security, when he was taken down by the Secret Service, reports NBC News.  Authorities said an officer wearing a bullet-resistant vest was shot in the chest and is expected to recover. Allen said, “I experience rage thinking about everything this administration has done.”  In 2024, according to the Federal Election Commission filings, Allen donated $25 to ActBlue with the memo “Earmarked for Harris for President,” noted JustTheNews.com. The two other would-be assassins of President Trump include 20-year-old Thomas Crooks on July 13, 2024 in Butler, Pennsylvania, who was killed by the Secret Service at a campaign rally and 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh on September 15, 2024 at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.  Routh was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Trump would-be assassin's motive Jeannine Pirro, United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, addressed Cole Tomas Allen's motive. PIRRO: “Make no mistake. This was an attempted assassination of the President of the United States, with the defendant making clear what his intent was. And that intent was to bring down as many of the high-ranking cabinet officials as he could.” According to the New York Post, Allen was charged on Monday with trying to assassinate President Donald Trump — as officials revealed the Secret Service fired at him five times before taking him down. Karoline Leavitt: Trump's calm in chaos was “remarkable to witness” On April 27th, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shared her unique perspective on the latest assassination attempt. LEAVITT: “I was seated next to President Trump and the First Lady when the shots were fired before Secret Service swiftly moved us to safety backstage. “The President's calm in the face of chaos while yet another individual was trying to take his life was really remarkable to witness. And it's something I will never forget. President Trump is fearless because he loves this country. And he is willing to put his own life on the line to deliver on the promises that he made to the American public who elected him here into the highest office in the land. … “We should not live in a country where such constant fear of political violence permeates our society every single day. Debating, peaceful protesting and voting are how we need to settle disagreements, not bullets.” The would-be assassin's connection to Christianity Cole Tomas Allen's father is reportedly an elder at Grace United Reformed Church in Torrance, California, affiliated with the United Reformed Churches of America. Allen's social media account listed his association with a Christian Fellowship group at CalTech. And his published manifesto included a note of gratitude to “his family, both personal and church, for your love over these 31 years.”   Plus, the manifesto included a convoluted sort of biblical apologetic for his actions.  The Wall Street Journal has also reported that Allen had coordinated a group meeting for “Bible study, prayer, food, and fellowship.” America's drought and its impact on cattle The United States is still facing its most severe drought in recorded history, dating back into the 19th century. About 90% of Oklahoma and Nebraska are feeling the brunt of our national drought. Half of Nebraska is under extreme conditions. And 99.97% of Kentucky is under drought conditions. Colorado, Georgia, and Florida have also been hit hard. The drought is impacting cattle availability. The Untired States cattle herd has diminished to its lowest numbers in history, dropping to 86.2 million this year. That's down from 115 million cattle in 1981.   Cattle availability has dropped from half a cow per person to a quarter of a cow per person this year.  That's liable to go quite a bit lower this year, as a result of the drought across western states. Deuteronomy 28:15, 18-19 encourages nations to obey God's laws. It says,  “But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you: Cursed shall be the fruit of your body and the produce of your land, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks. Cursed shall you be when you come in, and cursed shall you be when you go out.” African countries impacted by drought In related news, other nations facing severe drought conditions, in six out of the last seven years, included Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia, Niger, and Zimbabwe. These areas of Africa are about to tip into severe famine and mass starvation. Kenyan breaks 2-hour marathon record And finally, a son of a Kenyan farmer has broken the 2-hour barrier for the marathon, for the first time in human history, reports the Associated Press. Sabastian Sawe finished the London Marathon over the weekend in the record time of 1:59:30. That's 65 seconds faster than the last official record set three years ago.   Actually, another African from Ethiopia also broke the previous record, finishing 11 seconds behind Sawe.

On today's episode, we discuss the security breach at the 2026 White House Correspondents Dinner, where 31-year-old Cole Thomas Allen from Torrance, California, breached a checkpoint at the Washington Hilton and attempted to reach Trump administration officials. The highly educated mechanical engineer, who held degrees from Caltech, managed to run past security with multiple weapons and fired shots that struck a Secret Service agent's bulletproof vest before being tackled and arrested. We explore Allen's manifesto targeting the Trump administration, his sister's last-minute warning to authorities, and the surprisingly lax security that allowed him to check weapons into the hotel—the same location where President Reagan was shot in 1981. The hosts also examine the political implications, discussing how both sides might weaponize this incident and the broader concerns about escalating political violence in America. Don't miss it!

Are We Computing Quantum in the Wrong Base? with Ivan DeutschIvan Deutsch is Distinguished Regents' Professor of Physics and Astronomy at the University of New Mexico and the founding director of CQuIC, the Center for Quantum Information and Control. Along with his longtime collaborator Poul Jessen, Ivan helped lay the theoretical foundations for neutral-atom quantum computing in the 1990s: trapping individual atoms in optical lattices, cooling them to near absolute zero, and shuttling them in parallel to perform quantum logic. The companies commercializing those ideas today — QuEra, Pasqal, Atom Computing, Infleqtion, and the newly announced Aurora out of Caltech — are building on architectural concepts that trace directly to his group's early papers. His 9,600+ citations across quantum information, atomic physics, and quantum control place him among the most-cited theorists in the field.The reason to talk to Ivan now is that he has been making a quietly heterodox argument: every one of those commercial platforms encodes information in two energy levels of an atom that has ten or sixteen, and Ivan thinks the field should be asking whether that's the right choice — not for information density, which is only a logarithmic gain, but for fault tolerance. This conversation goes deep on qudits, spin cat codes, and the co-design philosophy that has shaped Ivan's career at the interface between theory and experiment, ions and neutral atoms, and academia and industry. If you are following neutral-atom hardware, fault-tolerant quantum error correction, or the emergence of regional quantum ecosystems, this episode is essential.What You'll LearnWhy neutral atoms were the "underdog cousins" of trapped ions — and the precise trade-off at the heart of a 30-year rivalry: ions are great and terrible because they're charged; neutral atoms are great and terrible because they're neutralWhat the original neutral-atom quantum computing paper actually got right: the parallel atom-movement architecture now central to QuEra, Atom Computing, and Infleqtion's roadmaps was already there — even if the Rydberg blockade's full power wasn't appreciated until laterWhat qudits are and why fault tolerance, not information density, is the compelling argument: the information gain from base-2 to base-10 is only logarithmic, but co-designing error-correcting codes with the physical structure of the hardware may be transformativeHow spin cat codes work: using the extra energy levels inside a single atom for error redundancy, directly analogous to bosonic cat codes in microwave cavities, with fault-tolerant thresholds that may surpass standard qubit surface codesWhy biased error correction matters: real physical errors in neutral atoms aren't arbitrary, and codes designed around the dominant error channels — including leakage and erasure — can dramatically outperform worst-case generic schemesHow leakage becomes an asset: when population escapes the qubit subspace into other levels, detecting that escape converts it from an unknown error into an erasure error, which is far easier to correctWhy working at interfaces is where the creative work happens: Ivan's career has been built at the boundary between theory and experiment, between ion-trap and neutral-atom communities, and now between research and industryHow New Mexico became a quantum hub: the founding of QNM-I, the partnership with Colorado, and the Elevate Quantum Tech Hub — turning decades of national-lab and university strength into an actual industrial ecosystemResources & LinksGuest LinksIvan Deutsch — CQuIC Faculty Page — Research profile and publication list at the Center for Quantum Information and Control at UNMGoogle Scholar Profile — 9,600+ citations across quantum information, atomic physics, quantum optics, and quantum controlNSF Q-SEnSE Research Profile — Ivan's role in the NSF quantum sensing and engineering centerKey PapersQuantum optimal control of ten-level nuclear spin qudits in Sr-87 (LANL/CQuIC) — The theoretical demonstration of arbitrary SU(10) maps in strontium-87 with average fidelity ~0.9992; the core technical result behind the qudit computing program discussed in the episodeSpin-cat code paper (ResearchGate) — The fault-tolerant encoding proposal that embeds a qubit in a large-spin qudit, analogous to bosonic cat codes; fault-tolerant thresholds that surpass standard qubit-based encodingsTalks & ContextIMSI Talk — "Neutral Atom Quantum Computing with Nuclear Spin Qudits" — Ivan's accessible lecture-format talk on the full qudit computing research program; a good companion to the episodeQuanta Magazine Q&A with Ivan Deutsch (2015) — Still the most accessible public articulation of his philosophy on qudits and computationEcosystemQuantum New Mexico Institute Launch (Jan 2024) — The founding of the joint UNM/Sandia/LANL institute Ivan establishedUNM/QNM-I Ecosystem Update (Feb 2026) — The current state of the New Mexico quantum industrial ecosystem, including Quantinuum, QuEra, and QNet presence in AlbuquerqueElevate Quantum profile — Background on the only quantum-focused EDA Tech Hub in the countryField ContextNature (Jan 2026) — Harvard/QuEra fault-tolerant neutral-atom paper — Up to 448 neutral atoms demonstrating below-threshold fault-tolerant QEC; the hardware milestone Ivan's theoretical work is designed to exploitKey Quotes & Insights"Ions are great because they're charged.

But I think it's an important question." — Ivan Deutsch, on qudits — a carefully calibrated position from a theorist making a strong technical bet "We just wanted to make the whole thing faster." — Steve Rolston (Ivan's co-author), on the mindset behind the Rydberg blockade paper, which ultimately unlocked the entire commercial neutral-atom industryInsight: The spin cat code ...

An old ABC‑LA interview from 2017 has resurfaced after investigators identified a Torrance, California man as the suspect in the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting. The video shows Cole Allen, then a CalTech student, promoting a wheelchair‑safety invention—years before authorities say he charged past security and opened fire, prompting a rapid Secret Service response that protected top officials. KCRA fact‑checks viral claims and misinformation that spread after the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting, clarifying what actually happened and what did not. Authorities say the suspect, Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, fired shots outside the ballroom, not inside it, and was quickly subdued by the Secret Service—with one agent injured but protected by a bulletproof vest. The report debunks false online rumors, confirms the key facts of the attack, and underscores how quickly misinformation filled gaps in the chaotic moments after the security breach.

A retired Air Force major general walks out of his Albuquerque home in 2026 and vanishes with a revolver. But William Neil McCaslind wasn't just anyone. He once commanded the Air Force Research Laboratory and carried deep knowledge of America's most advanced defense systems. His disappearance soon becomes part of a much darker pattern online. From Los Alamos to NASA JPL to Caltech, nuclear scientists and defense experts seem to have been erased from the grid. Is someone quietly removing high-value scientific minds from the board? Are brilliant people cracking under unbearable pressure? Or could this be a pattern of our own design?Visit our website for a lot more information on this episode.

Trump is definitely not Sleepy Joe! Is this a psyop or an extended version of The Apprentice? The events that have shaped 47's presidential term are so unbelievable. Cole Thomas Allen is accused of rushing the White House Correspondents' Association dinner with a shotgun. Allen is a 31-year-old Black American NASA Fellow and Caltech graduate who was arrested at the scene. Let's explore all the links to this dinner mystery show.

Una mañana de febrero de 2026, en una casa tranquila de Albuquerque, un hombre sale a caminar y no vuelve. Deja el móvil cargándose, las gafas sobre la mesilla y el reloj inteligente en el cajón. Todo lo que podría delatar su posición se queda dentro. No es un hombre cualquiera: es un alto mando de la Fuerza Aérea estadounidense con acceso a los programas más clasificados del Pentágono. Y no está solo en la lista. En los últimos cuatro años, al menos once personas vinculadas a la NASA, Los Álamos, Caltech, el MIT y Wright-Patterson han muerto o desaparecido en circunstancias que el FBI ya investiga oficialmente. Sus especialidades encajan como las piezas de un mismo rompecabezas. En este episodio seguimos el rastro, escuchamos a un testigo que, bajo juramento, avisó de que esto iba a pasar, y nos hacemos una pregunta muy incómoda: ¿por qué precisamente ellos?

Eleven scientists. Twelve, if you count the latest. All dead or missing. All tied to classified nuclear programs, aerospace research, UAP disclosure, or the deepest corners of America's top secret defense infrastructure. And now the FBI, the House Oversight Committee, the Department of War, and the Department of Energy are all circling the same question. Is this a coincidence, or a coordinated purge of the people who know too much?What if the witnesses to disclosure are being erased before disclosure ever happens?On this Slingshot Nation  live we walk through the full list, the timeline, and the names you're not supposed to connect. A retired Air Force major general who vanished out of his Albuquerque home without his phone or glasses. An MIT plasma and fusion director shot dead outside his own house. A JPL materials scientist who patented the super-alloys used in the reusable rockets flying right now. A decorated test pilot and his entire family gone in a single plane crash. Los Alamos. Caltech. NASA JPL. Kansas City National Security Campus. Wright-Patterson. The same labs, the same clearances, the same silence.Congress is calling it a national security threat. The White House is calling it "pretty serious stuff." Mainstream outlets are calling it coincidence. We're going to look at the pattern they don't want you to see. The aerospace black projects, the UAP disclosure witnesses, the foreign adversary angle, the Blue Origin and SpaceX connections, and the spiritual warfare dimension underneath all of it.Because if a great deception is coming, the first people to disappear would be the ones who could expose it.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

Crystal Clear opens the episode by contributing a brand-new condition to the diagnostic literature: Delusional Debunking Disorder, or DDD. The case study is Mick West, who has spent twenty years insisting Morgellons fibers are lint and Havana Syndrome is crickets. Crystal pivots to chat about Chen Tianqiao, Shanda Group founder and CCP member, who quietly bought roughly 200,000 acres in Klamath and Deschutes counties through a shell company called Whitefish Forest Resources in February 2015h. Second-largest foreign land purchase in American history. The data point that refuses to sit down: Google Trends shows Oregon Morgellons searches at zero the week of the transaction. Five weeks later, March 29, 2015, the spike hits one hundred. Lagged correlation coefficient 0.92. Top two Oregon metros for Morgellons search interest that year: Bend in Deschutes County, and Medford-Klamath Falls. Whatever drove the search spike was not news. It was something people were feeling in their bodies.Crystal traces what Chen did next. One billion dollars committed to neuroscience. The Tianqiao Chen Institute for Neuroscience at Caltech, $115 million. A Fudan University partnership in Shanghai. And NeuroXess, his implantable BCI company, whose chief scientist Tiger Tao specializes in silktrodes. January 2026: NeuroXess breaks ground on a super factory in Nanshang. March 2026: China issues the world's first commercial approval for an invasive BCI device. Enter billionaire number two. Joe Tsai, Alibaba co-founder, funder of the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute at Stanford, the Wu Tsai Institute at Yale, and a $220 million Human Performance Alliance that includes the University of Oregon. Then the digital twin layer. Jensen Huang, NVIDIA CEO and Oregon State alum, donated fifty million dollars for an NVIDIA supercomputer at OSU Corvallis built for “complex twin simulations.” Ninety minutes from Eugene, the number five Morgellons search metro in America. Oklahoma State launched its Digital Human Twin Consortium in January 2025, also NVIDIA-powered, and happens to sit on Dr. Randy Wymore's twenty-year Morgellons patient registry, possibly twelve thousand families, the largest biological data repository on the condition anywhere. They still ignore Crystal's open records requests. The sensor layer is Profusa, DARPA and Shanghai-funded, CEO Ben Hwang, manufacturer of injectable hydrogel biosensors. They just partnered with NVIDIA to build the AI portal reading the data. Sensors in, data out, twin built. The deepest cut is the 2001 material. Weinong Fu, computational electromagnetics specialist at Ansoft in Pittsburgh, the company whose software gets implantable devices through FDA approval, posted a web page from his corporate email in May 2001 collecting Morgellons symptom reports from Americans. His wife Li Honglui was simultaneously co-funding a Fudan University paper documenting an unidentified organism producing “creeping eruptions, migratory pain, and neurofilament damage.” American arm, Chinese arm, Pittsburgh modeling layer.The episode closes on the new Morgellons metagenomics preprint that landed on bioRxiv in April 2026, the first substantial research since Middelveen 2018. Crystal notes the venue: bioRxiv runs on Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, home of the Eugenics Record Office until Carnegie pulled funding, and has been bankrolled since 2017 by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. The paper itself gets its full deep-dive on Jeremy Murphree's Morgellons Discussion podcast. Check it out!A 0.92 correlation does not care about anyone's opinion. A 2001 paper does not retroactively become a coincidence because it is inconvenient. And nobody buys 200,000 acres in the highest-Morgellons-search state while building a silk fiber brain implant factory unless those two investments are chapters in the same business plan.

Today, we sit down with Dr. Doug Axe, a molecular biologist, Caltech and Cambridge researcher, and author of Undeniable. He's here to discuss one of the most consequential questions in science: could a functional protein arise by chance? This protein folding experiment changed everything and is why Doug became a Darwin doubter at Berkeley. Join us Tuesday April 21 at 4:30 PT to follow up on the conversation.

Your host, Sebastian Hassinger, is joined on this episode by Garnet Chan, the Bren Professor of Chemistry at Caltech, a member of the National Academy of Sciences, and among the most cited computational chemists in the world (34,000+ Google Scholar citations). Garnet is neither a quantum computing booster nor a dismissive skeptic. He's a theorist who works at the exact boundary between what classical algorithms can and cannot do — and who keeps finding that boundary further out than the quantum computing community has claimed. The FeMo-cofactor has been a flagship quantum computing use case for nearly a decade: a catalytic core of the enzyme that fixes atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, and a molecule widely described as "beyond classical reach." Chan's January 2026 paper challenges that framing directly. This conversation explains what was actually solved, what wasn't, and what it would genuinely take for quantum computers to contribute to the chemistry of nitrogen fixation. This episode is for researchers, engineers, and informed observers who want an honest, technically grounded view of where quantum computers genuinely help in chemistry — and where classical methods are more capable than the field has admitted. What You'll LearnWhy the FeMo-cofactor became one of the quantum computing community's favorite benchmark — and why the framing around energy savings from nitrogen fixation is less accurate than it soundsWhat "chemical accuracy" (~1 kcal/mol) actually means as a precision target, and why hitting it classically undermines a decade of quantum resource estimatesWhy real chemical systems are only "slightly entangled" — and what that means for the general argument that quantum computers are the natural tool for quantum chemistryThe difference between a problem being hard and a problem being exponentially hard — and why that distinction matters enormously for quantum advantage claimsWhere the genuine classical wall might be: bridging 15 orders of magnitude in timescale to simulate an enzyme's full catalytic mechanism — and whether quantum computers have anything to say about thatWhy Chan wrote a public blog post explaining his own paper — and what that reveals about the state of discourse in quantum chemistry and the quantum computing industryThe broader impact of quantum information science on chemistry — beyond hardware, the conceptual tools of quantum information have genuinely reshaped how chemists think about many-body statesWhat Chan is actually working toward: a full computational understanding of the nitrogenase reaction mechanism, using machine learning to bridge timescales classically — a decade-long journey he finds genuinely excitingResources & LinksThe Central Paper & CommentaryZhai et al.

In the last 10 years, I've posted many of my thoughts about getting into grad school. Here is the current state of my "wisdom," such as it is, now as department chair of chemical and sustainability engineering at the University of Rochester. Lessons learned from getting into Harvard, Stanford, Caltech, Berkeley, Scripps, and Columbia, and now having reviewed thousands of applications at large public and small private R1 institutions, and having had more than 20 undergraduate lab members get into "top-5" graduate programs.

️ Episode Overview: The Ominous Reality of S4 In this episode, the hosts take a deep dive into the most controversial and enduring conspiracy in Ufology: Bob Lazar's claims about S4. Located near the infamous Area 51, S4 is alleged to be a hidden facility where the U.S. government reverse-engineers extraterrestrial spacecraft . Rather than simply rehashing old news, this episode focuses on the "ominous" and often frightening implications of this secret program—including the technology involved, the alleged government surveillance, and the psychological toll on the whistleblower. Key Discussion Points & Insights The S4 Facility & "Sports Model" Craft: The podcast details Lazar's description of S4, specifically the "Sector 4" location near Papoose Lake . It covers his work on a craft he called the "Sports Model," including its unique gravity wave propulsion system and the infamous Element 115 (Moscovium) used as fuel . The Human Cost & Threats: A significant portion of the episode addresses the "ominous" reality of coming forward. The hosts discuss the alleged threats made to Lazar, including tampering with his home, surveillance, and even a drive-by shooting . The Credibility Question: The podcast explores the dichotomy of Lazar's story: while his educational records from MIT and Caltech are missing, his employment at Los Alamos National Laboratory is verifiable via a 1982 phone directory . Modern Corroboration: The discussion connects Lazar's 1989 claims to modern science (the official synthesis of Element 115) and recent UAP disclosures by the U.S. government . SEO Keywords & Hashtags Primary Keywords: Bob Lazar, S4, Area 51, Episode 151, Rocky Mountain UFO Podcast, Element 115, UFO reverse engineering. Secondary Keywords: Sports Model UFO, Gravity propulsion, Moscovium, George Knapp, UAP disclosure, Government cover-up. Hashtags: #BobLazar #S4 #Area51 #UFO #Podcast #UAP #Conspiracy #Element115 Why Listen to This Episode? If you are looking for a summary of Bob Lazar's claims, you can find those anywhere. However, Episode 151 distinguishes itself by focusing on the psychological and physical reality of the S4 story. It moves beyond the question of "Is it real?" to ask, "What if it is, and what does that mean for humanity? " This episode is perfect for listeners who want the facts, the context of the cover-up, and the darker implications of whistleblowing on the military-industrial complex.

What if your gut has been signaling a problem for your brain for years? That is exactly what the latest science on the gut microbiome and Parkinson's disease is revealing, and it begins with something as overlooked as constipation. If you have ever dismissed a sluggish digestive system as no big deal, this conversation may be the most important one you hear all year.Salad With a Side of Fries host Jenn Trepeck welcomes Martha Carlin, microbiome researcher, founder of The BioCollective and a woman who traded a corporate career for a microscope after her husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's at 44. What she has uncovered about gut bacteria, endotoxin load, the glycocalyx, and neurological decline is both startling and deeply actionable. This is not fear, it is fuel for better choices.What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ Why chronic constipation is far more than a digestive inconvenience and how waste sitting in the colon produces an endotoxin load now linked to Parkinson's, depression, autism, and diabetes.✅ What the glycocalyx is, why it matters for everything from gut health to cardiovascular function, and how damage to this critical structure can spread throughout the entire body over time.✅ How H. pylori consumes dopamine in the gut, why that interaction may explain why Parkinson's disease medications lose effectiveness, and what the research from Harvard reveals about this connection.✅ The surprising ways that endurance athletics, over-cleaning with quaternary ammonium compounds, and glyphosate-exposed foods all quietly assault the gut microbiome and compound your risk over time.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Martha Carlin's powerful warning: constipation creates a toxic burden linked to Parkinson's disease and neurological decline05:18 How Martha's husband's Parkinson's disease diagnosis launched her career in gut microbiome research07:08 How specific gut bacteria profiles reveal two distinct types of Parkinson's disease10:02 The concrete stool discovery: how electrolyte imbalance, sodium, and potassium disrupt nerve signaling and drive constipation12:24 Connection between chronic constipation and toxin reabsorption to autism, depression, diabetes, and neurological disease13:17 Glycocalyx: the overlooked protective barrier linking gut health to brain and cardiovascular function21:25 Quaternary ammonium compounds in cleaning products have more than doubled since COVID and are now linked to immune system disruption and Parkinson's disease24:06 Why Parkinson's disease is multifactorial: the glycocalyx as a self-assembled structure that becomes unstable over time29:18 A morning ritual backed by 1912 research: warm water with kosher salt and lemon to support gut health and daily elimination, and the definition of regular elimination33:19 Prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics work together across the GI tract, with butyrate as a critical fuel for the glycocalyx37:11 How Sugar Shift probiotics and apple cider vinegar with the mother can help break down glyphosate and support gut microbiome health41:47 Martha's closing message of hope: diet, exercise, gut health, and daily habits can shift the trajectory of Parkinson's diseaseKEY TAKEAWAYS:

Anger gets a bad reputation… but what if it's actually one of the most honest signals your body has?  There's a whole range of emotion we've been taught to push down—and anger sits right at the center of it.  In today's episode, I'm joined by Sandra Lee, who introduces us to a powerful new way of understanding emotion through The Spectrum of Anger™.  With over 30 years of experience—and a background as a Caltech-trained scientist—Sandra shares how high-performing women can stop holding themselves back, quiet that relentless inner critic, and start taking clear, confident action.  This conversation opens the door to seeing anger not as something to suppress… but as something to understand, work with, and even trust.  So let's call it in! “Call IT in With Dar!” Support the showFull Show Notes can be found at CallITInPodcast.comPhoto credit: Rebecca Lange Photography Music credit: Kevin MacLeod Incompetech.com (licensed under Creative Commons)  Production credit: Erin Schenke @ Emerald Support Services LLC.Grab Dar's Flight Deck Oracle Card DeckTake Dar's Archetype Quiz

What happens to your child's faith when they leave home for college? On this episode of Refining Rhetoric, host Robert Bortins sits down with Dr. Finny Kuruvilla — Harvard MD, MIT engineer, homeschool dad of nine, and founder of Sattler College — to discuss the crisis in Christian higher education and why he built a tuition-free, classical Christian college in downtown Boston. From the iron law of discipleship to Greek and Hebrew in the original languages, this conversation is essential listening for any homeschool family thinking about what comes after graduation. Dr. Finny Kuruvilla grew up in Southern California in the public school system — and what he saw there shaped everything that came after. Two things stayed with him: the exposure to harmful content and ideas during those formative years, and the creeping shift from caring what his parents thought to caring what his peers thought. When he and his wife Laura started having children, they were determined to reverse that dynamic. Today they homeschool nine children in Boston, from college age down to nine months old. The conversation opens with Dr. Kuruvilla's counter-cultural view of children as assets rather than liabilities — a biblical recovery of the idea that children are a heritage from the Lord, not a threat to the rainforest. His older kids run a snow shoveling and lawn raking business. The family's goal is human flourishing, not the accumulation of experiences that require both parents to work full time. From there, Robert draws him into the crisis he observed from the inside: seven years as a resident advisor at Harvard, watching bright young Christians have their faith "crash and burn" under the weight of an environment where 99% of faculty would not identify as born-again. The official statistic bears this out — 70% of church-attending students stop attending by the time they finish college. Dr. Kuruvilla calls it the iron law of discipleship: "Everyone, when fully trained, will be like his teacher" (Luke 6). Whether parents intend it or not, the law operates. Sattler College was built as a direct response to the three Cs. On cost: no tuition, with a room-and-board rate of around $9,000 per year in downtown Boston. On discipleship: the learn-do-teach model from Ezra 7, weekly same-gender journey groups for confession and mutual accountability, monthly mentorship meetings, and a campus culture built around the question "how did I share my faith with an unbeliever this week?" On curriculum: Greek and Hebrew required of every student, taught communicatively so that 80% of class time is spent actually in the target language. The freshman class travels to Greece at the end of the year to use their Koine Greek on location in Athens, Corinth, Thessalonica, and Philippi. The results are striking. Sattler is currently ranked number one in the country for MCAT scores — above Harvard and Stanford — and biology students are regularly publishing in peer-reviewed journals while working in Harvard Medical School labs. What You'll Learn •    Why Dr. Kuruvilla — after graduating from Caltech, MIT, and Harvard — chose to homeschool all nine of his children •    The three Cs that define what's broken in higher education: core curriculum, Christian discipleship, and cost •    What the "iron law of discipleship" is and why it should terrify every parent sending a child to a secular university •    Why 70% of church-attending students stop attending church by the time they graduate college •    How Sattler College addresses all three of those failures — including charging zero tuition •    Why Sattler is the only college in America that requires all students to learn Greek and Hebrew •    How Sattler students ended up outscoring Harvard and Stanford on the MCAT •    What the "learn, do, teach" model from Ezra 7 looks like in practice — and why spiritual obesity is as real as physical obesity •    How mission drift destroyed Harvard — and the specific bylaws and "poison pill" structures Sattler uses to prevent the same fate •    Why Christian investors are unknowingly funding abortion, pornography, and gambling through their 401(k)s •    What the Tower of Babel story in Genesis reveals about the power of organized Christians Resources Mentioned •    Sattler College: https://sattler.edu/ •    Eventide Funds (faith-based investing): https://www.eventideinvestments.com/ •    King Jesus Claims His Church by Dr. Finny Kuruvilla — available wherever books are sold This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by: Classical Conversations' new 2026 Product Line This April, Classical Conversations is launching an exciting portfolio of new products designed to strengthen math fluency, develop critical reasoning skills, and equip families with practical tools for classical, Christian homeschooling.

In this episode of Timeless Wisdom, Dennis Prager explores the concept of randomness in life with Dr. Leonard Mladenow, a professor at Caltech. They delve into the idea that even with a 50% chance, there's no guarantee of success, and that randomness plays a significant role in our lives. They discuss the law of large numbers, the difference between probability and certainty, and how our understanding of randomness can be influenced by our knowledge and context. This conversation challenges listeners to think critically about the role of chance in shaping our experiences and outcomes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

James Gates Jr. found error-correcting computer code embedded in the equations of supersymmetry and string theory.The Double-Slit Problem: Why some believe the most famous experiment in physics behaves like a video game engine that only renders what's being observed.The CIA Gateway Process: A classified 1983 Army intelligence document, Monroe Institute Hemi-Sync binaural beats, and a holographic universe — buried for two decades.The Fermilab Holometer: Why the U.S. Department of Energy built a machine to test whether spacetime has a Planck-scale resolution limit.The Physicist From Army Intelligence: How Thomas Campbell went from Army intelligence and the Monroe Institute to publishing My Big TOE and co-authoring simulation experiments with Caltech and JPL — now underway.Consider Supporting + Receive Bonus Content⁠
