The Crisis That Gave Birth to Modern PhilosophyEpisode 2.69Before René Descartes ever said “I think, therefore I am,” Western thought was already in crisis.For nearly two thousand years, Aristotle's philosophical system shaped how the West understood knowledge, reality, ethics, and even science. But between the 1500s and 1600s, that system collapsed—undermined by the scientific revolution and shaken by the realization that trusted authorities could be wrong.In this episode, Michael and Zach trace:-Aristotle's dominance in medieval thought-His rediscovery and integration into Christian theology-The cracks introduced by nominalism and internal scholastic tensions-The decisive blow dealt by Copernicus, Galileo, and Kepler-The resulting crisis of knowledge that split Europe into empiricist and rationalist campsThis is the story of how the West lost its shared foundation for truth—and why Descartes' famous line was not arrogance, but desperation.Part 1 sets the stage for the modern philosophical divide and prepares the ground for Descartes' attempt to rebuild certainty from the ground up.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/kATTI-geLwsMerch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

The Second Emancipation: Nkrumah, Pan-Africanism, and Global Blackness at High Tide (Liveright, 2025), the second work in a trilogy from best-selling author Howard W. French about Africa's pivotal role in shaping world history, underscores Adam Hochschild's contention that French is a "modern-day Copernicus." The title--referring to a brief period beginning in 1957 when dozens of African colonies gained their freedom--positions this liberation at the center of a "movement of global Blackness," with one charismatic leader, Kwame Nkrumah (1909-1972), at its head.That so few people today know about Nkrumah is an omission that French demonstrates is "typical of our deliberate neglect of Africa's enormous role in the birth of the modern world." Determined to re-create Nkrumah's life as "an epic twentieth-century story," The Second Emancipation begins with his impoverished, unheralded birth in the far-western region of Ghana's Gold Coast. But blessed with a deep curiosity, a young Nkrumah pursued an overseas education in the United States. Nowhere is French's consummate style more vivid than in Nkrumah's early years in Depression-era America, especially in his mesmerizing portrait of a culturally effervescent Harlem that Nkrumah encountered in 1935 before heading to college. During his student years in Pennsylvania and later as an activist in London, Nkrumah became steeped in a renowned international Black intellectual milieu--including Du Bois, Garvey, Fanon, Padmore, and C.L.R. James, who called him "one of the greatest political leaders of our century"--and formed an ideology that readied him for an extraordinarily swift and peaceful rise to power upon his return to Ghana in 1947.Four years later, in a political landslide he engineered while imprisoned, Nkrumah stunned Britain by winning the first general election under universal franchise in Africa, becoming Ghana's first independent prime minister in 1957. As leader of a sovereign nation, Nkrumah wielded his influence to promote the liberation of the entire continent, pushing unity as the only pathway to recover from the damages of enslavement and subjugation. By the time national military and police forces, aided by the CIA, overthrew him in 1966, Nkrumah's radical belief in pan-African liberation had both galvanized dozens of nascent African states and fired a global agenda of Black power.In its dramatic recasting of the American civil rights story and in its tragic depiction of a continent that once exuded all the promise of a newly won freedom, The Second Emancipation becomes a generational work that positions Africa at the forefront of modern-day history. Howard W. French is a professor of journalism at Columbia University and a former New York Times bureau chief for Central America and the Caribbean, West and Central Africa, Japan and the Koreas, and China, based in Shanghai. The author of six books, including Born in Blackness, French lives in New York City. Ayisha Osori is a lawyer and Director at Open Society Foundations Ideas Workshop.

Il 2025 è in lizza per diventare il secondo anno più caldo mai registrato, secondo il servizio europeo Copernicus. Anche le montagne sentono la recente ondata di calore e Elisa Palazzi, climatologa, ci racconta i rischi di uno zero termico a ben 3500 metri di quota. Sono stati 67 i giornalisti uccisi nel 2025, secondo il rapporto annuale di Reporter senza frontiere, e ben 29 di questi sono stati uccisi nella Striscia di Gaza da Israele. Scatta da oggi il ban dei social network per gli under 16 in Australia, ed è il primo paese al mondo ad applicare un divieto così esplicito per i minori. C'è già in ballo anche un ricorso alla Corte suprema australiana da parte di due giovanissimi. Puoi scriverci a podcast@lifegate.it e trovare tutte le notizie su www.lifegate.it.  Rassegna stampa: Nell'ultimo anno sono stati uccisi 67 giornalisti nel mondo, di cui quasi la metà a Gaza, Luigi Mastrodonato

Desde el 1 de diciembre el agujero de la capa de ozono abierto en agosto de este ano se ha cerrado. Los expertos que monitorean la atmosfera con el proyecto Copernicus estan felices porque es de la veces que se ha cerrado con mayor rapidez protegiendonos de los temidos rayos ultravioletas que pueden causar cancer de piel y otros efectos nocivos.

Dr. Carlos Eire and Dr. Kirsten Macfarlane on October 29, 2025 at the University of Chicago's Swift Hall. Levitation. Bilocation. Witchcraft. Demonic Possession. Europe in the early modern era was simultaneously the site of Kepler, Newton, Copernicus–and of eyewitness accounts of levitating saints and nocturnal witches' sabbats. In his history of the impossible, award-winning historian Carlos Eire mines the firsthand accounts and archival evidence of the miraculous and demonic. How did an increasingly skeptical and scientific culture account for events deemed impossible by its leading intellectuals? What does this say about the supposed boundaries between the natural and supernatural that marked the transition to modernity? In this lecture, Carlos Eire explores the major themes of "They Flew" and asks: what makes something impossible? And is there more to reality than meets the eye? University of Chicago Divinity School professor Kirsten Macfarlane offers a response and engages Eire in a conversation. --- This project was made possible through the support of In Lumine Tuo: Expanding and Sustaining the Catholic Intellectual Tradition Nationwide (grant #63614) from the John Templeton Foundation and the generous support of the University of Chicago Divinity School and the Workshop on the Early Modern World.

Ingénieur de formation, d'origine allemande, Hermann Ludwig Moeller dirige depuis 2022 le European Space Policy Institute (ESPI), le think tank stratégique installé à Vienne qui éclaire les choix de l'Europe dans le domaine spatial. Après un parcours à l'Agence spatiale européenne (ESA), où il a contribué à la conception de grands programmes comme Copernicus, référence mondiale en observation de la Terre, il a progressivement déplacé son regard du technique vers le politique. À la tête de l'ESPI, il s'efforce de « faire parler entre eux » les multiples acteurs d'un écosystème éclaté — Commission européenne, ESA, agences nationales et industriels — afin de renforcer une souveraineté spatiale européenne encore fragile face aux États-Unis et à la Chine.Observateur des bouleversements récents — retour du spatial dans le champ régalien depuis la guerre en Ukraine, montée du New Space, essor du privé —, il plaide pour une Europe indépendante et ambitieuse au plan industriel : « Il faut trouver l'équilibre entre l'énergie des entrepreneurs et la responsabilité des États ». Pour lui, l'espace constitue l'espace la prochaine grande rupture technologique, comparable à celle d'Internet dans les années 1990, et l'Europe est encore capable d'un tenir un rôle décisif.

Air pollution is Europe's greatest environmental health threat, and despite progress in recent decades to reduce its burden, it was still attributed to hundreds of thousands of premature deaths in 2022. The European Union's Copernicus Sentinel-4 mission, operating on board EUMETSAT's Meteosat Third Generation Sounder 1 (MTG-S1) satellite, has begun delivering its first preliminary images from space, marking a major milestone in Europe's air quality monitoring capacity. The mission's hourly data streams will support authorities in delivering timely air quality forecasts and health warnings to help save lives, improve quality of life, and reduce associated environmental costs and economic damage across the continent. The first images, captured on 8 October 2025 and released to the world today, demonstrate Copernicus Sentinel-4's remarkable capability to track multiple pollutants and trace gases across Europe and surrounding regions. The images reveal nitrogen dioxide hotspots over Italy's Po Valley, elevated ozone levels across the Balkans, Bulgaria, and Greece and sulphur dioxide plumes from both natural and anthropogenic sources. Unlike other satellite sensors measuring air pollution that orbit Earth from pole to pole at a lower altitude, MTG-S1 operates in geostationary orbit, continuously observing the same region - Europe and northern Africa - from a fixed position. From this vantage point, Copernicus Sentinel-4 can scan the same region every hour, providing near-real-time updates on key atmospheric constituents. Copernicus Sentinel-4 is still undergoing commissioning, so these early images represent just a taster of what is to come: once operational, the mission will provide unprecedented hourly views of such pollutants across Europe from geostationary orbit. The hourly capability will enable experts to track how pollution varies throughout the day - such as traffic peaks during rush hour - and observe pollutants like ozone as they form, revealing differences between city centres and suburbs and providing authorities with more precise information to protect public health. Following MTG-S1's successful launch on 1 July, Copernicus Sentinel-4 is now in its commissioning phase, where teams are testing and fine-tuning systems to ensure optimal performance. While these first images show the mission is already working well, the commissioning process ensures that the underpinning data meets the rigorous accuracy and reliability standards essential for operational use. Once commissioning is complete, these critical data streams will enhance existing atmospheric monitoring capabilities with unprecedented hourly coverage of the atmosphere over Europe and surrounding regions from space. Phil Evans, Director-General of EUMETSAT, said: "Exposure to pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide, ground-level ozone, and fine particulate matter affects millions of Europeans every day, costing society hundreds of billions of euros annually. Copernicus Sentinel-4 represents a fundamental advance in our ability to monitor these pollutants. These first images demonstrate the mission's transformative potential to save lives and improve health outcomes by feeding into better air quality and climate monitoring across Europe. EUMETSAT is proud to host the Sentinel-4 instrument aboard our MTG-S satellite and to be part of this landmark European collaboration. We now look forward to operating the mission throughout its lifetime, ensuring a continuous flow of critical data to ensure maximum impact." Lieven Bydekerke, EUMETSAT Copernicus Programme Manager, said: "These first data provide an exciting early glimpse of Copernicus Sentinel-4's ability to capture rapid changes in air pollution across an entire continent - tracking how pollutants that are a major cause of respiratory and cardiovascular disease move and evolve throughout the day. Hourly observations of these hazardous pollutants over the whole of Europe have never been possible before. As we work ...

In this episode, we dive deep into the life and legacy of Martin Luther—the monk who sparked the Protestant Reformation and shook the foundations of Rome's power. From the thunderstorm vow that led him to the monastery, to the 95 Theses that exposed indulgence corruption and the money machine behind it, we follow Luther's rise as both reformer and lightning rod. We'll unpack his core doctrines of Sola Fide and Sola Scriptura, his raw and unfiltered Table Talk, his rejection of Copernicus's fraudulent heliocentric model, and even his later writings that mainstream historians twist or hide. Was Luther a lone man of conscience, or also a tool in the larger struggle between elites, bankers, and princes? Emaul: thefacthunter@mail.comMartin Luther The Jews And Their Lieshttps://archive.org/details/martin-luther-the-jews-and-their-lies

Send us a textStart with a world that looks arranged and ask the most honest question: who arranged it? We walk up the Areopagus with Paul, listen to his bold claim that God made “the world and all things in it,” and then follow that claim into modern labs, star fields, and the quiet intricacy of a single living cell. From the intuitive logic of Mount Rushmore to the stubborn math behind monkeys at typewriters, we weigh whether time and chance can truly write coherent sentences—much less encode the deep, layered information of DNA.Together we unpack why Paul began with origins when speaking to curious, skeptical minds. The term he chose—cosmos—means order and arrangement, and that word shapes how we read everything from gravitational harmony to biochemical choreography. Along the way, we hear how thinkers like Copernicus, Kepler, Newton, and even a late-life Anthony Flew saw purpose in the fabric of reality. We revisit Darwin's own cautions and explore why the discovery of information-rich systems in the cell complicates a purely unguided story of life. Far from shutting down science, this vision of creation energizes it—inviting us to seek laws because we trust the Lawgiver and to ask better questions because we expect real answers.All of this lands close to home. If a God wise enough to order galaxies also numbers our days, then trust is not blind; it's fitting. We talk frankly about the cultural costs of denying design—how meaning, morality, and hope begin to slip—and we point to a better foundation: Christ the Creator, the one who holds all things together and can steady our steps.

What if law moved at light speed—not to block discovery, but to channel it? We sit down with the big idea that runs through today's most ambitious missions: when ownership is clear and sharing is structured, innovation scales across nations, agencies, and even planets.We start in orbit with the ISS, where inventorship follows astronauts and equipment, and use rights are negotiated before launch, so science never stalls at zero gravity. Then we shift to ITER, the global fusion project that separates background IP from generated IP and grants royalty-free, global, perpetual research licenses to every member. That single design choice turns competition into cooperation without closing the door on commercialization. On the lunar front, the Artemis Accords introduce interoperability and deconfliction zones—protecting operations without territorial claims—and bring private players under shared norms that reward transparency.Back on Earth, Copernicus proves that open satellite data strengthens climate action, agriculture, and emergency response, while the International Charter on Space and Major Disasters operationalizes generosity with rapid, accountable data releases. We dive into NASA's open source ecosystem—thousands of mission-grade tools vetted through NOSA and rigorous approvals—showing code as shared infrastructure that startups, labs, and agencies build on every day. Communication ties it all together: CCSDS standards give spacecraft a common language, royalty-free and openly published, cutting costs and accelerating cross-agency work. The Planetary Data System and the International Planetary Data Alliance extend that spirit to archives, harmonizing formats and metadata so scientists can reuse and cite with confidence. And the Interplanetary Internet—Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking—demonstrates how open standards thrive when anyone can implement, test, and improve them, from deep space to disaster zones on Earth.Across these stories, a pattern emerges: plan ownership before liftoff, design openness with structure, standardize where it multiplies value, and pair publication with credit. That's how IP becomes the engine of trust, not the price of participation.

Send us a textLa innovación despega cuando la confianza tiene estructura. Junto a Artemisa, recorremos una constelación de acuerdos, licencias y estándares que demuestran cómo la propiedad intelectual, bien diseñada, se vuelve el motor silencioso de la cooperación: desde laboratorios en órbita hasta bibliotecas de datos planetarios.Empezamos con la Estación Espacial Internacional y su coreografía legal que anticipa titularidad y publicación, seguimos con ITER, donde la IP de fondo y la generada conviven con licencias globales para investigación en fusión pacífica. Exploramos los Acuerdos de Artemisa, que cambian la lógica de “llegar primero” por “coordinar mejor” con interoperabilidad, transparencia y zonas de desconflicto, integrando al sector privado sin perder principios. Miramos el poder económico de Copernicus y su política de datos abiertos que impulsa agro, seguros, ambiente y respuesta humanitaria gracias a atribución y trazabilidad. Entramos en la Carta Internacional sobre el Espacio y los Grandes Desastres, un mecanismo que suspende temporalmente restricciones para salvar vidas y luego restablece licencias, uniendo agencias públicas y operadores comerciales.También contamos cómo la NASA convirtió el código abierto en proceso y cultura bajo NOSA, liberando herramientas auditables que alimentan misiones y ahorran recursos, y cómo el CCSDS creó un lenguaje común con Blue Books abiertos que permiten a naves y estaciones compartir infraestructura sin fricciones. Sumamos la IPDA/PDS, la “memoria del sistema solar” que preserva datos con estándares y citación, y cerramos con el Delay Tolerant Networking, el Internet interplanetario publicado de forma abierta con CCSDS e IETF, resiliente a interrupciones y ya útil en la Tierra.El episodio destila nueve lecciones prácticas: definir derechos antes del lanzamiento, abrir con reglas, convertir estándares en legado, proteger y luego publicar, activar cláusulas de emergencia, atribuir mientras se comparte, usar código abierto con gobernanza, fijar ética al ritmo de la ingeniería y preservar para quienes aún no llegan.

Guest: Robert Meisner, Earth Observation, ESA, ESRINThe Cosmic Scoop: In this eye-opening episode, Markus travels to ESRIN, ESA's Earth Observation hub in Frascati near Rome, to sit down with Robert Meisner – a man who has spent nearly 40 years watching our planet from above. Together they dive into the hidden landscapes of the ocean surface, the secrets of gravity maps, and how satellites reveal the slow but relentless transformation of our world.From sea level rise and melting glaciers to the surreal beauty of satellite art, Robert explains why Earth observation isn't just about data – it's about giving our planet a voice. Along the way, he clears up climate myths, reminds us how science self-corrects, and points to the hope that comes from knowledge, action, and communication.Quotable Insights:“We deliver the hard facts – like it or not. It's not a matter of belief, it's a matter of measurement.”“Almost half of today's sea level rise comes from the warming and expansion of the oceans.”“The ocean surface is not flat – it's a landscape of invisible hills and valleys shaped by gravity.”“Science has its own cleansing system: if nobody can disprove you, chances are it matches reality.”Cosmic Timeline (Timestamps):[00:00:00] Opening: Why the ocean surface is not flat[00:03:00] What ESRIN does – ESA's Earth Observation headquarters[00:07:00] Satellites, orbits, and why 800 km matters[00:10:00] Measuring ocean temperatures from space[00:14:00] Accuracy, salinity, and the Gulf Stream as Earth's energy conveyor belt[00:17:30] Sea level rise – glaciers vs. thermal expansion[00:21:00] Climate denial, hard facts, and science as a self-correcting system[00:28:00] From drifting continents to ice ages – how new theories become accepted[00:29:30] The artistic beauty of satellite data[00:33:00] Melting glaciers, unstable Alps, and the thawing permafrost[00:35:00] The GOCE mission and gravity maps – why oceans have hills[00:43:00] Copernicus, Sentinel satellites, and Europe's unique leadership[00:47:00] CO₂ monitoring from space – the upcoming game changer[00:49:00] Digital Twin Earth – simulating our planet's future[00:50:00] The human side: 40 years of watching Earth change[00:54:00] Espresso for the mind – the art of science communicationLinks to Explore:ESA Earth Observation Copernicus ProgrammeDigital Twin Earth initiativeSpread the Cosmic Love!

In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore the thrilling prospects of observing exploding black holes, an astonishing stellar jet on the outskirts of the Milky Way, and the meticulous preparations for an Earth observation satellite mission.Exploding Black Holes on the HorizonA groundbreaking study suggests that astronomers may soon witness a black hole explosion, an event theorised to occur once every 100,000 years. Researchers now believe there's a 90% chance of observing such an explosion within the next decade, potentially revealing primordial black holes formed shortly after the Big Bang. These explosions could provide a comprehensive catalogue of all subatomic particles, including those yet to be discovered, fundamentally altering our understanding of the universe's origins.Immense Stellar Jet DiscoveredAstronomers have identified a colossal stellar jet erupting from a young star in the Milky Way's outskirts, specifically in the Sharpless 2284 region. This rare phenomenon involves twin jets of hot plasma extending over eight light years, driven by superheated gases falling onto the massive star. Captured by NASA's Webb Space Telescope, this discovery not only sheds light on star formation but also offers insights into the conditions of the early universe.Preparing for Earth ObservationThe European Space Agency is conducting rigorous tests for a future Earth observation satellite mission, including an airborne campaign in the Arctic. Scientists are evaluating a new imaging microwave radiometer designed to monitor sea ice and its evolution. This mission aims to gather vital data on climate change and the Arctic environment, contributing to a better understanding of global phenomena.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesPhysical Review Lettershttps://journals.aps.org/prl/NASAhttps://www.nasa.gov/European Space Agencyhttps://www.esa.int/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.Exploding Black Holes on the HorizonImmense Stellar Jet DiscoveredPreparing for Earth Observation

For more than four centuries, the scientific discoveries of Copernicus, Galileo, Darwin, and Freud created the impression that we could explain the workings of the Universe without the idea of a creator--God. By the beginning of the twentieth century, materialism had become the dominant theory of the time. And yet, with unexpected and astonishing force, the pendulum of science has swung back in the other direction, owing to a rapid succession of discoveries: the theory of relativity; quantum mechanics; the Big Bang; the theories of expansion, heat death, and fine-tuning of the universe. Michel-Yves Bolloré is a computer engineer with a master's of science and doctorate in business administration from the University of Paris Dauphine. Learn more about your ad choices.

La lluvia y las temperaturas más bajas han ayudado a desactivar la voracidad de las llamas, aunque aún preocupa el incendio de Fasgar, en León, que los bomberos prevén estabilizar a lo largo del día de hoy. Según el sistema de satélites Copernicus, es el peor año de incendios para Europa desde que se puso en marcha. De la política, hoy comparece en las Cortes de Castilla y León Alfonso Mañueco, el primer presidente autonómico que comparecerá en su comunidad desde que comenzó la ola de incendios. También los Reyes visitarán los valles de Extremadura afectados por el incendio de Jarilla. Además, es noticia el naufragio cayuco que salió desde Gambia hacia las Islas Canarias y que ha dejado ya 40 muertos.

Los incendios siguen avanzando y con nuevos focos abiertos. Según la información recabada por el satélite Copernicus, en lo que va de año se han quemado en España 350.000 hectáreas: el equivalente a toda Álava. 70.000 han ardido solo en Ourense, donde el incendio de Larouco ha superado al de Chandrexa como el más extenso de la historia de Galicia: ha arrasado 18.000 hectáreas. Ayer, cuatro bomberos resultaron heridos por quemaduras cuando trabajaban en la extinción de las llamas. En Extremadura, según la Junta, el total de hectáreas quemadas supera las 35.000. La mayoría en el incendio de Jarilla, que sigue descontrolado. Allí han ardido más de 15.000 en solo una semana. En Zamora preocupa el de Sanabria, que se está acercando a la zona de la laguna, uno de los puntos turísticos más importantes de la provincia.

C dans l'air l'invité du 15 août 2025 avec Bruno Maestracci, porte-parole de la Fédération nationale des sapeurs-pompiers de FranceL'Espagne est en proie à de violents feux de forêts. Presque aucune région n'est épargnée et les pompiers, mobilisés par milliers, luttent jour et nuit contre les flammes. En une semaine, près de 60 000 hectares ont été détruits, dont plus de 12 000 dans la province d'Ourense, en Galice. La vague de chaleur extrême, prolongée par une sécheresse historique, alimente ces incendies, qui touchent également le Portugal, la Grèce ou encore l'Albanie. En réponse à l'appel à l'aide de Madrid, la France a envoyé deux Canadairs et un avion de coordination, tandis qu'un détachement de sapeurs-pompiers part aujourd'hui pour Athènes, en Grèce, pour une mission d'un mois.En France, l'été 2025 n'est pas terminé qu'il est déjà celui des records. Selon l'Observatoire européen Copernicus, 238 incendies ont été recensés dans l'Hexagone, dont 236 avant le 28 juillet. Début août, l'Aude a été frappée par l'un des incendies les plus dévastateurs depuis 1949 sur le pourtour méditerranéen français : plus de 17 000 hectares ravagés en seulement deux jours. Selon le parquet de Montpellier, l'incendie « pourrait avoir une cause criminelle résultant d'un acte volontaire ». Dans 90 % des cas, les feux sont liés à une action humaine : brûlage de végétaux, étincelles d'outils agricoles, mégots jetés par la fenêtre, barbecues, pétards…Face à ces catastrophes, les moyens paraissent parfois limités : douze Canadair CL-415 âgés en moyenne de trente ans, quelques avions Dash et hélicoptères pour les largages d'eau. Alors que Météo France a placé vingt-trois départements en risque « élevé » d'incendie, les sapeurs-pompiers se préparent à affronter des températures proches de 40 °C dans le Sud ce week-end. Entre la chaleur, les vents et la sécheresse qui compliquent le travail des pompiers à travers l'Europe, la question se pose : comment mieux protéger les populations et les forêts ? Comment renforcer la lutte contre les incendies à l'échelle européenne ? Et comment prévenir ces épisodes de sécheresse qui multiplient les risques d'incendie ?Bruno Maestracci, contrôleur général des sapeurs-pompiers, fera le point sur les incendies qui ravagent l'Espagne, la Grèce, le Portugal et l'ensemble du Sud de l'Europe, ainsi que sur les 23 départements français désormais en risque « élevé » d'incendie dans les jours à venir.

For five hundred years, scientists as credible as Galileo, Copernicus, Newton, Darwin and Freud chipped away at the scientific existence of God. So, by the beginning of the 20th century, Nietzsche was able to announce the death of God. A century later, however, modern science is now resurrecting God. That, at least, is the suggestion of Michel-Yves Bollore, the co-author of Europe's latest publishing sensation, GOD The Science The Evidence. It's a post Einsteinian science, Bollore and his co-author Olivier Bonnassies contend, which has enabled this kind of scientific Easter. With endorsements from Nobel Prize winners and over 400,000 copies sold across Europe, their controversial thesis argues that seven independent lines of evidence—from thermodynamics to quantum mechanics—point toward an absolute beginning of the universe, making materialism, in their words, 'an irrational belief' in the 21st century.1. The Historical Reversal For 400+ years (Galileo to Darwin to Freud), scientific discoveries seemed to eliminate the need for God. But since 1900, Bollore argues, every major discovery points in the opposite direction—toward the necessity of a creator.2. Seven Lines of Evidence for Absolute Beginning The authors present seven independent scientific arguments (thermodynamics, universe expansion, quantum mechanics, mathematics) that the universe had an absolute beginning—which they argue requires a creator, since "from nothing, nothing can come."3. The Multiverse Dilemma Materialism's only escape is the multiverse theory, but recent discoveries (2003) show infinite series of universes are impossible. This forces materialists into increasingly complex explanations while the "God hypothesis" remains simpler.4. Fine-Tuning as Evidence The universe's parameters are so precisely calibrated (down to the 15th decimal place for expansion speed) that tiny changes would prevent existence itself—suggesting intentional design rather than chance.5. Philosophical Not Religious The book deliberately avoids religious questions (who is God, what does God want) and focuses purely on whether scientific evidence supports the existence of a creator—making it accessible across different faiths and culturesKeen On America is a reader-supported publication.

The global climate has undoubtedly changed. Earlier this year, Copernicus, one of the most trusted weather models in the world, calculated that global average temperatures have increased by 1.4°C (2.5°F) since the start of the Industrial Revolution. This seemingly slight increase has had an outsized effect on weather patterns, challenging our ability to predict and prevent disasters resulting from more extreme weather.  Most Americans are at least somewhat concerned about global warming, the documented solution to which is greenhouse gas reduction. Yet just this week, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced plans to rescind its central scientific basis for climate-related regulation.  And with so much competing for our attention, it is easy to imagine that relatively few people will take note of such a policy decision—let alone clearly understand the larger implications and how to respond.  In this episode, NPR's Sadie Babits discusses her new book Hot Takes: Every Journalist's Guide to Covering Climate Change, written to equip all of us (journalists or not) to take part in critical public discourse about climate science and policy.  Listen in as Sadie and Ten Across founder Duke Reiter talk about the development of this book, and how journalists can and must rise to the challenges present in the political and media landscape today.  The video format of this discussion will be released 8.7.25.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop speaks with Ryan Estes about the intersections of podcasting, AI, ancient philosophy, and the shifting boundaries of consciousness and technology. Their conversation spans topics like the evolution of language, the impact of AI on human experience, the role of sensory interfaces, the tension between scientism and spiritual insight, and how future technologies might reshape power structures and daily life. Ryan also shares thoughts on data ownership, the illusion of modern VR, and the historical suppression of mystical knowledge.

Ryan Estes reflects on how podcasting revives the richness of dialogue, countering the flattening effects of modern communication platforms.The evolution of language might have sparked consciousness itself. Drawing on theories like the bicameral mind, Estes explores how early humans may have experienced internal commands as divine voices, illustrating a deep link between communication, cognition, and early religious structures.AI is not just a tool but a bridge to new kinds of consciousness. With developments in cognitive ergonomics and responsive interfaces, Estes imagines a future where subconscious cues might influence technology directly, reshaping how we interact with our environment and each other.Ownership of software, hardware, and data is emerging as a critical issue. Estes emphasizes that to avoid dystopian outcomes—such as corporate control via neural interfaces—individuals must reclaim the stack, potentially profiting from their own data and customizing their tech experiences.Virtual reality and AI-generated environments risk becoming addictive escapes, particularly for marginalized populations. Estes likens this to a digital opiate, drawing parallels to spiritual ideas about illusion and cautioning against losing ourselves in these seductive constructs.The suppression of mystical traditions—like Gnosticism, Neoplatonism, and indigenous knowledge—has led to vast cultural amnesia. Estes underscores how historical power structures systematically erased insights that modern AI might help rediscover or recontextualize.Despite the turbulence, AI and AGI offer a radically optimistic future. Estes sees the potential for a 10x productivity boost and entirely new forms of work, creativity, and leisure, reshaping what it means to be economically and spiritually fulfilled in a post-knowledge age.

Why have we always been so fascinated by the stars? This episode of The Human Odyssey, "The Star-Woven Story," delves into one of the oldest human traditions: looking up. We travel back in time to the dawn of civilization, where the movements of the sun, moon, and stars were not just beautiful, but essential for survival and the basis of our earliest myths. Then, we witness the dramatic intellectual revolutions that shifted our place in the cosmos, from Copernicus's daring proposal to Galileo's defiant gaze through his telescope. We'll journey through the clockwork universe of Newton, the mind-bending realities of Einstein, and finally, float alongside the Hubble Space Telescope as it captures images that have redefined our understanding of the universe and our place within it. This is the story of astronomy—a tale of curiosity, wonder, and our unending quest to know the cosmos.

Could changing weather patterns due to climate change make a difference to where and when we travel, or to the cost of our holidays? It was the hottest June on record for Western Europe, according to the EU's climate service, Copernicus. And the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says that heatwaves in Europe will become more frequent, more intense and longer-lasting. Extreme heat and drier weather can lead to wildfires, while retreating snow lines can put pressure on winter skiing trips. For their part, popular destinations in the Caribbean and the Pacific face another challenge - from rising sea levels. Host Graihagh Jackson asks how holiday-makers and the travel industry can adapt to a changing climate.

Between 1450 and 1550, a remarkable century of intellectual exchange developed across the Eastern Mediterranean. As Renaissance Europe depended on knowledge from the Ottoman Empire, and the courts of Mehmed the Conqueror and Bayezid II greatly benefitted from knowledge coming out of Europe, merchants of knowledge—multilingual and transregional Jewish scholars—became an important bridge among the powers. With this book, Robert Morrison is the first to track the network of scholars who mediated exchanges in astronomy, astrology, Qabbalah, and philosophy. Their books, manuscripts, and acts of translation all held economic value, thus commercial and intellectual exchange commingled—knowledge became transactional as these merchants exchanged texts for more intellectual material and social capital. While parallels between medieval Islamic astronomy and the famous heliocentric arrangement posited by Copernicus are already known, Morrison reveals far deeper networks of intellectual exchange that extended well beyond theoretical astronomy and shows how religion, science, and philosophy, areas that will eventually develop into separate fields, were once interwoven. The Renaissance portrayed in Merchants of Knowledge: Intellectual Exchange in the Ottoman Empire and Renaissance Europe (Stanford UP, 2025) is not, from the perspective of the Ottoman Muslim contacts of the Jewish merchants of knowledge, hegemonic. It's a Renaissance permeated by diversity, the cultural and political implications of which the West is only now waking up to. Robert G. Morrison is a professor at Bowdoin College. He is the author of The Light of the World: Astronomy in al-Andalus (2016). Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature.
