New Discoveries in Planetary Science and Cosmology. Guest: Bob Zimmerman. The Lucy probe's flyby of asteroid Donaldjohanson revealed a "tumbling peanut" shape, providing insights into its 155-million-year history. Additionally, observations of asymmetric radio galaxies highlight galactic movement through the intergalactic medium, while debates continue among cosmologists regarding the existence and properties of dark energy. 16

SCHEDULE THE JOHN BATCHELOCR SHOW, 6-24-2026MEXICO CITYThe Imprisonment of Jimmy Lai and the Future of Hong Kong. Guest: Mark Clifford and Gordon Chang. Jimmy Lai has spent over 2,000 days in prison, becoming a symbol of resistance against the Chinese Communist Party. His fate mirrors that of Hong Kong, which is transforming into a national security state where surveillance and espionage extend to international cities like London. 1US Navy Control and the Opening of the Strait of Hormuz. Guest: Rebecca Grant and Gordon Chang. Despite Iranian claims of closure, the US Navy maintains tactical control over the Strait of Hormuz, ensuring sea lanes remain open for international shipping. Advanced mine-clearing technology and persistent patrols have neutralized threats, though economic signals like the Jones Act waiver remain points of discussion. 2Canadian Public Opinion on the Chinese Threat and US Trade. Guest: Charles Burton and Gordon Chang. A majority of Canadians perceive China as a threat following revelations of election interference and malign influence operations. Meanwhile, concerns grow regarding the reliability of the United States as a partner under the Trumpadministration and the potential abrogation of the USMCA trade agreement. 3Strengthening Defense Ties Between the Philippines and Canada. Guest: Charles Burton and Gordon Chang.Canada is deepening security cooperation with the Philippines to counter Chinese expansionism in the South China Sea. This partnership includes logistical agreements and military training, even as Canada faces challenges protecting its own Arctic sovereignty against increasing Russian and Chinese strategic reach in the North. 4Ukrainian Drone Attacks Cripple Russian Oil Infrastructure. Guest: Michael Bernstam. Cheap Ukrainian drones have successfully targeted Russian refineries and fuel transport, causing significant shortages of gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel. This technological warfare has forced Russia to ban exports and implement rationing, as traditional air defense systems struggle to counter swarms of small, maneuverable drones. 5Declining Russian Oil Production and the Shadow Fleet. Guest: Michael Bernstam. Russian oil production is falling due to aging fields and a lack of investment, failing to meet OPEC quotas. While Russia utilizes a "shadow fleet" to bypass sanctions, it must offer steep discounts to India and China as Brent crude prices decline and fiscal pressures mount. 6European Heatwave, Commodity Prices, and UK Political Shifts. Guest: Simon Constable. A "Godzilla El Niño" has triggered record-breaking heatwaves across Europe, impacting energy demand and agriculture. Amid falling Brent crude prices, attention shifts to UK politics, where the potential rise of Andy Burnham within the Labour Party signals a move toward higher taxes and increased government spending. 7The Infrastructure and Economic Impact of Data Centers. Guest: Simon Constable. Data centers have become essential infrastructure for AI development, consuming vast amounts of water and electricity. While they provide significant tax revenue for localities, particularly in states like Virginia and Texas, their construction often faces local opposition due to their immense resource requirements and costs. 8Colombia's Presidential Shift Toward Security and Law and Order. Guest: Evan Ellis. Abelardo de la Espriellaappears to have won the Colombian presidency, promising a crackdown on insecurity and organized crime modeled after El Salvador's policies. His victory signals a likely return to strong security cooperation with the United States and a departure from the policies of Gustavo Petro. 9Keiko Fujimori and the Return of the Fujimori Dynasty. Guest: Evan Ellis. Keiko Fujimori has likely secured the Peruvian presidency, narrowly defeating her socialist opponent through overseas votes. Her administration faces a deeply divided nation, widespread illegal mining, and cocaine production, but may benefit from a new bicameral Congress intended to provide greater political stability than previous years. 10Political Instability in Bolivia and Regional Alliances. Guest: Evan Ellis. President Rodrigo Paz has survived a 50-day crisis in Bolivia after declaring a state of emergency to clear blockades led by Evo Morales. While regional allies have supported Paz, Brazil's absence from this coalition highlights President Lula's role as a principal counterweight to US influence. 11Mexico's Economic Growth and USMCA Renegotiation Tensions. Guest: Evan Ellis. The Mexican economy saw its sharpest expansion in five years, yet the upcoming USMCA renegotiation creates significant uncertainty. While Mexicoattempts to appease the US through high-level investigations into cartel-linked officials, the Sheinbaum government remains hesitant to fully confront powerful political figures within its own party. 12Pope Leo XIV's Warning on Artificial Intelligence. Guest: Peter Berkowitz. In a 43,000-word encyclical, Pope Leo XIV warns that artificial intelligence risks dehumanizing society and excluding God from the human experience. While acknowledging technological benefits, the Pope emphasizes the danger of treating humans as mere means and the erosion of authentic human relationships in favor of machines. 13AI in Education and the Necessity of Liberal Learning. Guest: Peter Berkowitz. The rise of AI in academia tempts students to bypass the essential struggle of thinking, leading to intellectual atrophy. Educators argue that liberal education is now more vital than ever to help students cultivate a flourishing mind and recognize the limitations of technological shortcuts. 14Private Innovation and Infrastructure Challenges in Space. Guest: Bob Zimmerman. SpaceX successfully defeated legal challenges in Texas while NASA's aging infrastructure faces funding gaps and restrictive laws. Meanwhile, private startups like Catalyst are attempting robotic satellite rescues, signaling a shift toward a capitalist model in space operations as government agencies struggle with delays and inefficiencies. 15New Discoveries in Planetary Science and Cosmology. Guest: Bob Zimmerman. The Lucy probe's flyby of asteroid Donaldjohanson revealed a "tumbling peanut" shape, providing insights into its 155-million-year history. Additionally, observations of asymmetric radio galaxies highlight galactic movement through the intergalactic medium, while debates continue among cosmologists regarding the existence and properties of dark energy. 16One correction folded in: Labour Party (UK spelling) in file 7. I also expanded the file 9 headline's "Law Order" to "Law and Order" — flag if you wanted it left verbatim.

On this Black Iron Prison Intercept, the topic couldn't be more appropriate. I'll take you on a deep dive into the life, work, and metaphysical worldview of Philip K. Dick. We'll explore his prophetic fictional themes — surveillance, AI, simulated reality, and corporate control — alongside the mystical visions that shaped his late philosophy. I'll also delve into his self-developed Gnostic cosmology, including concepts like VALIS, the Plasmate, the Black Iron Prison, the Christ-Sophia Syzygy, and his theory of anamnesis as spiritual awakening. We'll conclude by connecting his personal tragedies, literary output, and visionary experiences into a unified portrait of a writer who saw himself as a vessel for restoring ancient Gnostic truth to the modern world.

Saludos, tripulación de Historias para ser leídas. Bienvenidos a bordo. 🚀💫 Hace tres años iniciamos una misión que quedó fragmentada en el tiempo. Hoy, he unificado las transmisiones. He recopilado todas las bitácoras pasadas para ofreceros el viaje completo, mejor calidad y sin interrupciones rumbo al corazón mismo de la gravedad. 🚀👨‍🚀 Imagina que tú eres el propietario y capitán de una gran nave espacial, con ordenadores, robots y una tripulación de cientos de personas a tus órdenes. La Sociedad Geográfica Mundial te ha asignado la misión de explorar los agujeros negros en regiones lejanas del espacio interestelar y transmitir por radio a la Tierra una descripción de sus experiencias. Tras seis años de viaje, tu nave está decelerando en la vecindad del agujero negro más próximo a la Tierra: un agujero llamado «Hades» cercano a la estrella Vega. En la video pantalla de tu nave, la tripulación y tú observáis manifestaciones de la presencia del agujero: los escasísimos átomos de gas en el espacio interestelar, aproximadamente uno por centímetro cúbico, son atraídos por la gravedad del agujero negro. Las únicas singularidades representadas en las cartas de viaje de su nave son las que están dentro de los agujeros negros, y usted se niega a pagar el precio de la muerte para explorarlas. Pero atención, capitán. El espacio es impredecible y el destino de esta tripulación no está escrito. Al final de este trayecto, la realidad se bifurcará. Os enfrentaréis a una decisión crucial en los límites del horizonte de sucesos: Tendréis que elegir entre dos transmisiones finales que se incluyen en este mismo audio. 🔴OPCION 1 🚀 ✅OPCION 2 🚀 Dos caminos. Dos desenlaces posibles. Dos destinos para un mismo misterio cósmico. Encended los motores de curvatura ¡Comenzamos el viaje! 🚀💫 Thorne comienza llevándonos a un viaje por los agujeros negros y, desde allí, nos hace seguir el descubrimiento de las nuevas concepciones, desde Einstein hasta nuestros días, en una especie de relato histórico sazonado de anécdotas vividas, a lo largo del cual vamos aprendiendo los conceptos básicos, hasta llegar al punto en que agujeros de gusano y máquinas del tiempo nos parecen posibilidades lógicas y comprensibles. Stephen Hawking calificó esta historia como «un relato fascinante», y dijo: todos cuantos aman los misterios científicos disfrutarán con él. Comenzamos el viaje....! Este relato ha sido escrito por Kip Stephen Thorne (Logan, Utah, 1940), físico teórico estadounidense, conocido por sus contribuciones prolíficas en física, astrofísica y gravitación. Gran amigo y colega de Stephen Hawking y Carl Sagan, ocupó la cátedra «Profesor Feynman» de Física Teórica en el Instituto de Tecnología de California hasta el año 2009, y es uno de los mayores expertos sobre las implicaciones astrofísicas de la teoría general de la relatividad de Einstein. Ha escrito y editado libros sobre temas de teoría de la gravedad y astrofísica de alta energía. En 1973, fue coautor del libro de texto clásico Gravitation , con Charles Misner y John Wheeler, del que la mayor parte de la actual generación de científicos han aprendido la teoría de la relatividad general. En 1994, publicó Agujeros negros y tiempo curvo: el escandaloso legado de Einstein , un libro de referencia para los no científicos por el que recibió numerosos premios y que ha sido publicado en seis idiomas. Su trabajo ha aparecido en revistas y enciclopedias, tales como Scientific American , McGraw-Hill Yearbook of Science and Technology y la Collier's Encyclopedia , entre muchos otros, y ha publicado más de 150 artículos en revistas especializadas. Ha presentado diversos programas de la PBS estadounidense (televisión pública) y la BBC inglesa sobre temas como los agujeros negros, las ondas gravitatorias, la relatividad, el viaje en el tiempo y los agujeros de gusano. La lista de premios, reconocimientos y honores recibidos es larga y variada: Science Writing Award in Physics and Astronomy del American Institute of Physics; Science Writing Award de la Phi Beta Kappa Society; Karl Schwarzschild Medal por la German Astronomical Society ; Robinson Prize in Cosmology por la Universidad de Newcastle; California Scientist of the Year Award por el California Science Center; Medalla Albert Einstein (2009) por la Sociedad de Albert Einstein (Berna, Suiza), etc. Una producción de Historias para ser Leídas, Voz: Olga Paraíso, música y efectos Epidemic Sound, gracias al artista Lotus (Licencia autorizada para este Podcast).

In this week's episode, I'm joined by author Lauren Kate to discuss her latest release, White Lights. Falling back into a world of angels, romance, and millennia-old feuds, Kate brings us back into the world of Fallen, after Luce and Daniel's happily ever after to see the effects their choice had on heaven. What does heaven look like when love is suddenly on the menu for the angels?White Lights follows Dez to Acheron, an elite film school no one's ever heard of before, but has resources she never dreamed would be available to her. The only catch: she has to leave behind everyone she loves, and someone she might have grown to love. As she learns more about Acheron and some of her fellow students, Dez fears she's made the wrong decision. But her connection with her mentor, Rafe, is undeniable, bringing her back to her love of filmmaking every time she questions herself.We discussed the influences on the creation of this universe, and the decision to continue the story, with Kate referencing dreams, higher education, and apocryphal texts. Her inspiration dates back as far as 500 BC, and the feminist themes that exist then, and that we look for now. We look at some of the bigger questions that Kate is exploring in these series, like what and who love has the power to change, and how one positive choice can radiate out and effect change on a larger scale.As a fan of Lauren Kate and her work, I truly did not have enough time to cover everything I wanted to, but for a look at how she explores the theme of love, grab White Lights now! https://bookshop.org/a/54661/9781538776773Learn more about Lauren Kate here:  laurenkatebooks.netAnd you can find her on Instagram, Facebook, Threads and TikTok @LaurenKateBooks If you have an author, book, or topic you want to hear about on the podcast, then don't hesitate to slide into my DMs or shoot me an email!Subscribe to my newsletter to keep up to date on the latest podcast happenings: https://in-bed-with-books.kit.com/76d11f1d51Where else to find me:IG: @inbedwithbookspodYT: https://www.youtube.com/@InBedWithBooksPodEM: inbedwithbookspodcast@gmail.com

Does the science actually point to a beginning of the universe or can clever cosmological modeling get around it? Sir Roger Penrose's Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC) is one of the most serious modern attempts to model an infinite, beginning-less universe This is Part 2 of the conversation. (If you missed Part 1, watch that first! In this deep dive, Dr. Stephen Meyer walks through Penrose's CCC model in six steps, explains where he believes it works mathematically but fails physically, and shows why every infinite-universe model he and his colleagues have examined comes at what he calls a "high epistemic cost." *Get a MASTERS IN APOLOGETICS or SCIENCE AND RELIGION at BIOLA (https://bit.ly/3LdNqKf) *USE Discount Code [smdcertdisc] for 25% off the BIOLA APOLOGETICS CERTIFICATE program (https://bit.ly/3AzfPFM) *See our fully online UNDERGRAD DEGREE in Bible, Theology, and Apologetics: (https://bit.ly/448STKK) FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Twitter: https://x.com/Sean_McDowell TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sean_mcdowell?lang=en Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seanmcdowell/ Website: https://seanmcdowell.org Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Ryan and Alex discuss the Apocryphon of John, a 2nd century Gnostic text once condemned as heresy by the early church. They explore its retelling of creation, the hidden teachings of Christ, the divine goddess, the great invisible spirit, the true meaning of the Garden of Eden, the ruler of this world, and the ultimate destiny of human souls.

In my life as a professional athlete and trainer, I realized there were 7 major areas to align for optimal performance. Over the course of the last several years of intense bible study and work, I have come to realize that this is also true for our walk with Christ. There are 7 major areas of doctrine that must be aligned, and when they are properly framed from a monergistic perspective — our entire experience of God and reality is transformed. * 00:00 - Introduction* 08:16 - A Little Story* 20:18 - The Narrow Road* 31:20 - Why it Starts & Ends with Monergism* 48:30 - Christology & The Trinity* 1:02:06 - Thanatology* 1:13:20 - Ecclesiology* 1:21:07 - Eschatology* 1:38:27 - Cosmology* 1:52:58 - The Sabbath* 1:59:37 - Final Thoughts This is a public episode.

May 20, 2026Dr, Hakeem Oluseyi (CEO, Astronomical Society of the Pacific)n his new book, Why Do We Exist, Dr. Oluseyi suggests that the story of our existence can be told as a passage through nine interwoven realms—each revealing a new layer of cosmic information. In this public talk, he introduces each of the realms, but then focuses on cosmic connections to the Middle Realm, where we humans live, and to the Realm of Life, where organisms flourish across the vastness of space. He explores these realms with humor and honesty, weaving in stories from his early life in Mississippi and his career in science.

China launches three astronauts to Tiangong — including Hong Kong's first-ever taikonaut — on a mission that breaks multiple records. NASA's Psyche probe delivers breathtaking imagery from its Mars flyby. A bizarre 19-day solar radio burst finally gets an explanation. Scientists zero in on the source of the most powerful neutrino ever detected. Two dead stars orbit each other in less than nine minutes. And researchers propose using fungi to turn Martian soil into farmland.

One of the major obstacles to understanding quantum mechanics is the difficulty we have in simply accepting what the theory itself is telling us. The problem is that we know what the everyday world looks like -- stuff, arranged in space, evolving through time. So we can't resist the temptation to impose that picture on the quantum description, even if it's not actually there. In this solo episode I talk about what it means to take quantum mechanics at face value, and the difficult work involved in understanding how the everyday world of our experience fits into the picture.

If someone asked you about your personal cosmology — who are you, why are you here and what is your role on our planet — what would you tell them? Or, more to the point, could you really answer the question?For best-selling author Mark Gober, it took years for him to understand the huge gap between following a personal cosmology that was nihilistic, random, superficial and meaningless and living an intentional one that embraces Spirit and the divine in all of us. A decade passed before Mark was ready for his first plant medicine ceremony, and the healing work he did on developing his personal cosmology made all of the difference in creating a positive, intimate experience that keeps on delivering insights. Join Mark and Paul on a journey of discovery and lasting growth with help from plant medicines and learn why a personal cosmology matters this week on Spirit Gym.Check out Mark and his work on his website and on social media via Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, YouTube and Telegram.Timestamps3:46 Does our intellect or something in our biology block us being receptive to our natural state, especially as we age?12:23 How plant medicines reconnect us to the various aspects of ourselves.15:20 Amnesia is built into the human experience (with a large dose of ignorance thrown in).22:27 Ibogaine: A medicine that loves through truth, even when it is painful.31:12 Mark meets ibogaine.44:00 It took a decade for Mark to be ready for his first plant medicine ceremony.46:55 Mark's four intentions going into his first plant medicine ceremony.1:05:31 Self-betrayal: A form of self-loathing that our society trains us to do.1:09:35 Ancestral trauma, underlying terror and catastrophic thinking.1:17:27 “Whenever we heal for ourselves, we're really healing for our family.”1:26:54 The purpose of existence and authenticity is the only game in town.1:32:07 A sign Mark was tapping into his divine guidance before his plant medicine ceremony: Writing a book about it.ResourcesAn End to the Upside Down Cosmos by Mark GoberFind more resources for this episode on our website.Music Credit: Meet Your Heroes (444Hz), Composed, mixed, mastered and produced by Michael RB Schwartz of Brave Bear MusicThanks to our awesome sponsors:PaleovalleyBIOptimizers US and BIOptimizers UK PAUL15Organifi CHEK20Wild PasturesPique LifeCHEK InstituteWe may earn commissions from qualifying purchases using affiliate links.

Earlier this year, we got to witness the incredible launch and return of Artemis II, a NASA mission meant to lay the groundwork for a future lunar landing. Among the many accomplishments of the Artemis II mission, the crew successfully gathered real-time observations of the Moon that will contribute to our increased understanding of the cosmos. If you were inspired the same way we were, we thought it would be an opportune time to re-share an episode we recorded with astrophysicist Risa Wechsler on the future of the universe. We hope you'll take another listen and that this episode will help you tap into more of that wonder the Artemis II crew sparked. Have a question for Russ?

Ryan and Alex dive into the Sethian Gnostic text Zostrianos, exploring its vivid account of angelic encounters with a radiant being of light and the soul's ascent through layered divine realms. The text outlines a cosmology of reality emanating from a single ineffable source, populated by higher Aeonic beings who stand guard at each threshold of existence. Along the way, it calls for a kind of immediate awakening, urging individuals to recognize that the kingdom of heaven is already within reach, and to turn away from the illusions and corruptions of the material world.

What happens when the Jesus Freak generation grows up and looks at the state of modern Christianity? Mike Erre and Tim Stafford dive into the messy intersection of faith, politics, and ancient cosmology in this wide-ranging conversation. From the fallout of 90s Christian celebrity culture to the current consumerism surrounding religious holidays, this episode explores why so many are feeling disillusioned with the modern church.The discussion moves into a deep critique of religious rhetoric within the American government and the recent America Reads the Bible event. Mike and Tim ask the hard questions: How do we remain invitational and hopeful amidst cultural carnage? How do we distinguish between the eternal truths of scripture and the cultural husks used to deliver them?A significant portion of this episode is dedicated to a listener question about the Lord's Prayer. By diving back into Genesis 1 and ancient Hebrew cosmology, Mike explains the concept of the Rakia, the waters above and below, and what it truly means to pray for God's will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. This deep dive into the highest heavens versus the atmospheric heavens provides a fresh perspective on God's status and presence in our world today.If you're interested in scheduling Spiritual Coaching sessions with Tim, email: tim at voxpodcast dot com, with COACHING in the subject line :) Chapters:0:00 Intro and Neighborhood Banter3:12 DC Talk and the Jesus Freak Legacy8:15 Consumerism and Easter Productions13:40 Religious Language in Modern Politics19:25 The Government and Resurrection Sunday26:10 The Vatican and US Political Responses32:45 America Reads the Bible Movement38:20 Staying Invitational Amidst Deconstruction45:15 Peacemaking and Reintegrating the Deceived50:40 Announcement Tim Stafford Spiritual Coaching54:20 Your Will Be Done on Earth59:35 Ancient Cosmology and the Rakia1:04:50 The Waters Above and the Highest Heavens1:09:10 Divine Revelation vs Cultural Husks1:12:45 Conclusion and OutroAs always, we encourage and would love discussion as we pursue.

Christine Hernandez returns to A Psychic's Story to go deeper into Mayan astrology — an ancient system rooted in cosmology, sacred time, and energetic alignment. In this conversation, Nichole and Christine explore what it means to live in “real time” — not by the clock, but in harmony with the natural rhythms of energy that shape each day and each life path. Christine shares how the Mayan calendar functions as a reflection of both the cosmos and the human experience, offering insight into your soul's purpose, natural gifts, and life cycles. And she walks through Nichole's personal Mayan chart, giving listeners a real-time example of how this system reveals deeper layers of identity, healing, and purpose. In this episode, you'll hear: What Mayan astrology is — and why it's more accurately described as cosmology.  The concept of sacred time and how each day carries a unique energetic frequency. How modern timekeeping may disconnect us from natural rhythms. The structure of the Mayan calendar (260-day cycle, energies, and number patterns). How your personal Mayan signature influences your path, purpose, and challenges.  Key life cycle ages (26, 36, 42, 52) and what they represent energetically.  A live breakdown of Nichole's Mayan chart and what it reveals.  Christine describes this system as a way to live in alignment with both the seen and unseen worlds — where life begins to flow with more synchronicity, clarity, and meaning.  To learn more about Christine and her teachings, visit her website or follow her on Instagram @christineolivia.

Astronomers have discovered one of the most chemically primitive stars ever identified — an ancient stellar relic that preserves the chemical imprint of the very first stars in the Universe. In this podcast, Dr. Ani Chiti discusses the discovery of this ancient star and what it tells us about star formation in the early Universe.    Bios:  - Rob Sparks is in the Communications, Education and Engagement group at NSF's NOIRLab in Tucson, Arizona. - Dr. Anirudh Chiti is a Brinson Prize Fellow at Stanford University, interested in the formation of the first stars and galaxies, the early production of heavy elements, the early Milky Way, and local tracers of dark matter. He observes and characterizes nearby stars and galaxies that formed at early times to understand these topics, in an approach known as "Near-field Cosmology" or "Galactic Archaeology".   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
