I've always been fascinated by the nature of TIME. What is it? Does it even exist? How can a new understanding of time help leaders get off the treadmill of constant quest to succeed? And what about connecting with loved ones who have passed? Are we really doing that when we feel our ancestors are near? This week's episode is a little different for me because I'm not talking with a spiritual teacher about these things - I'm talking with celebrated astronomer, Colin Stuart, an expert on the science of time. Colin has this amazing superpower of making complex concepts simple and easy to understand, especially for a science novice like me. Colin's nineteen books have sold over 400,000 copies worldwide and been translated into 21 languages. His latest book, TIME: 10 things you should know, explores the physics of time.

Welcome to Gorilla Radio, recorded April 2nd, 2022 Mid-March marks the anniversary of what's been called the World's greatest humanitarian crisis. While that somber appellative may be moot, the war against Yemen continues into its eighth year with exactly the same horror and heartbreak you've seen amply depicted coming from Ukraine these past weeks - and rightly so - the difference though being the dearth of media coverage of Yemeni suffering. Pictures of schools and hospitals bombed, or the stories of parents and children maimed, killed, and rendered homeless still find little purchase in Canadian media. But just because Canada's business, government, and media elite ignore the suffering of those in that benighted place does not mean Canadians don't care. Last week, members of the Victoria Peace Coalition took part in the Canada-Wide Peace and Justice Network event, Canada Stop Arming Saudi Arabia. It's an effort to end Canada's role in "fueling the war in Yemen", as the United Nations has repeatedly charged. Colin Stuart is with the Victoria Peace Coalition, and is a supporter too of the Canadian Friends Service Committee, and a serving board member of World Beyond War. Colin Stuart in the first half. And; the wars in Yemen and Ukraine are not the only ways Canada's new self-understanding as a 'warrior nation' manifest. Right here at home the militarization of the nation is moving forward on the double. Last week, the Trudeau government, newly reinforced by the party formerly known as the New Democratic Party, announced it would go ahead with its plan to spend billions on Lockheed Martin's F-35 attack jet. The purchase guarantees monies needed for the health and well-being of Canadians will instead be devoted to enriching one of the World's biggest purveyors of death and misery - for generations to come. And, it couldn't come at a worse time. Glenn Michalchuk is chair of Peace Alliance Winnipeg. He's been active in the peace movement going all the way back to the era of Ronald Reagan's Dirty Wars in Latin America. Glenn Michalchuk and Canada becoming a force against the people internationally in the second half. But first, Colin Stuart and Canada's part in Yemen's "forgotten war".

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for November 15, 2021 is: wormhole WERM-hohl noun A wormhole is a hypothetical structure of space-time that is envisioned as a long thin tunnel connecting points that are separated in (well) space and time. // Some science fiction writers speculate that wormholes are the intergalactic highways of the future. See the entry > Examples: "Imagine space as a vast sheet of paper. You live at one end and you want to travel to the other end. Ordinarily you'd have to trudge across the entire length of the page to get there. But what if you folded the paper in half instead? Suddenly, where you are and where you want to be are right next to each other. You simply have to jump that tiny gap. We call these objects wormholes because it is like a worm trying to navigate its way around an apple. To get from the top to the bottom it has two choices: Crawl around the outside, or chew a shortcut through the middle." — Colin Stuart, Space.com, 13 July 2021 Did you know? If you associate wormhole with quantum physics and sci-fi, you'll probably be surprised to learn that the word has been around since William Shakespeare's day. To Shakespeare, a "wormhole" was simply a hole made by a worm, but even the Bard subtly linked wormholes to the passage of time; for example, in the poem The Rape of Lucrece, he notes time's destructive power "to fill with worm-holes stately monuments." To modern astrophysicists, a wormhole isn't a tunnel wrought by a slimy invertebrate, but a theoretical tunnel between two black holes or other points in space-time, providing a shortcut between its end points.

In 2008, Hassan Diab was a sociology professor at Carleton University in Ottawa when he was arrested and accused of involvement in the 1980 bombing of a Paris synagogue. After a lengthy extradition hearing, in 2014, Diab was handed over to France where he was imprisoned, largely in solitary confinement, for over 3 years. In 2018, the charges were dismissed and Diab returned to Canada. But his nightmare didn't end there. In January 2021, the French appeals court reversed the dismissal of charges and ordered a new trial. Colin Stuart is with the Hassan Diab Support Committee.
