Podcast appearances and mentions of Dan Brown

In this episode, I sit down with filmmaker and composer Dan Brown Jr., the creator of the true crime documentary Girl Forgotten: What Happened to Brianna Wells? and founder of Crime Sonics.On December 29, 2014, 17-year-old Brianna Wells was found murdered and abandoned in a South Phoenix alley. Nearly a decade later, her case remains unsolved and largely forgotten—until now.Dan shares the emotional and investigative journey behind Girl Forgotten, a film four years in the making that follows grassroots advocate Gina as she digs into Brianna's story, uncovers disturbing truths, and exposes failures within the system. From police missteps to media silence, this documentary challenges how we treat missing and murdered girls—especially when their stories are inconvenient.We talk about the filmmaking process, the importance of storytelling through music, the emotional toll true crime creation can take, and how original music—including the haunting theme “Raise Cain”—brings Brianna's voice back to the forefront.Follow the film at www.girlforgottenfilm.com.Learn more about Dan and the music of Crime Sonics at www.crimesonics.com.Advocacy.

The Jesus bloodline refers to the proposition that a lineal sequence of the historical Jesus has persisted, possibly to the present time. Although absent from the Gospels or historical records, the concept of Jesus having descendants has gained a presence in the public imagination, as seen with Holy Blood, Holy Grail a book by Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, and Henry Lincoln and Dan Brown's 2003 best-selling novel The Da Vinci Code. These claimed Jesus's bloodlines are distinct from the biblical genealogy of Jesus, which concerns the ancestors of Jesus, and from the alleged Brothers of Jesus and other kin of Jesus, known as the Desposyni. In the final chapter of Joel's intricate look at the supposed bloodlines of Jesus, Joel explores the Lost Tomb of Jesus and if there is any validity to the claims of the documentary. He shines a light on Simcha Jacovici's claims that the ossuaries found in the Talpiot Tomb are of Jesus and His family. He also looks at the idea that Jesus is of an alien race which are the creators of the Rh-Negative bloodline. Lastly, Joel speculates on where the Rex Deus genealogies actually come from and what it means for our possible future.

In this very special episode, we sit down with Eva's personal mentor of two years, Amma Thanasanti. Formerly living as a fully ordained Buddhist nun for 28 years, today Amma guides others in the path of embodied awakening—bringing together deep meditation, nervous system repair, and attachment healing to help people feel truly safe, seen, and at home in themselves.Through Amma's stories—including an unbelievable near-death encounter with a bear—this conversation explores the ways early attachment wounds shape our nervous systems, how safety can be reclaimed through somatic practices, and how reimagining our origin stories can transform not only our minds, but our physiology.This episode is less of an intellectual download and more of a transmission. If you've ever longed for deep connection, struggled with overwhelm, or felt like your nervous system was living in a permanent state of hypervigilance—this one is for you.

SInds het Britse journalisten trio Baigent, Leigh & Lincoln, en daarna ook dankzij Dan Brown, heeft de wereld kennisgemaakt met Bérenger Saunière en de mysteries van het Zuidfranse Rennes-le-Château. Deze eenvoudige dorpspastoor zou het geheim van de Graal, of het Heilig Bloed, ontdekt hebben: dat was niet meer of minder dan de "bloedlijn" van Jezus Christus en Maria Magdalena. Maar de kans is groot dat zijn biografie voor een groot stuk verzonnen werd... en geïnspireerd door de Vlaamse kapelaan van de Heilig Bloedkapel in Brugge, door schrijver Joris-Karl Huysmans ooit geïdentificeerd als "de Paus van Satan".Ook dit ware verhaal is weer een bewerking van een hoofdstuk uit het nieuwe boek van Patrick Bernauw, nu verkrijgbaar in iedere boekhandel:EEN MAGISCH-REALIST IN MYSTERIEUS BELGIË, HET BOEK DER SYNCHRONICITEITENhttps://www.bernauw.com/p/een-magisch-realist-in-mysterieus-belgie.htmlSoms lijkt het universum met ons mee te schrijven. Patrick Bernauw duikt in het raadselachtige fenomeen van synchroniciteit – betekenisvolle toevalligheden die niet zomaar toeval lijken te zijn. Geïnspireerd door het werk van Carl Gustav Jung en magisch-realist Hubert Lampo, onderzoekt hij de mysterieuze verbanden die zijn creatieve pad hebben gevormd. Van een verloren manuscript dat als bij wonder opduikt tot een cryptisch kassaticket dat een schrijversdilemma oplost, telkens weer brengen onverklaarbare gebeurtenissen zijn verhalen tot leven. Maar dit boek is meer dan een autobiografisch verslag vol magische toevalligheden. Het is ook een inspirerende gids voor schrijvers en dromers, waarin de lezer ontdekt hoe inspiratie zich laat vinden – en hoe synchroniciteit misschien wel bewust op te roepen is. Met een scherp oog voor verborgen patronen en een literaire speurtocht langs thema's als de mysteries van het Lam Gods, de Graal van Brugge, de Vlaamse Tempeliers of de zieneres van Onkerzele, vormt dit boek een unieke mix van persoonlijke ervaringen, filosofische reflecties en spannende ontdekkingen. Voor liefhebbers van Hubert Lampo en Umberto Eco, en voor iedereen die gelooft dat er meer is tussen hemel en aarde dan het oog kan zien.De muziek in deze podcast is van Fernand Bernauw en Suno.

These claimed Jesus's bloodlines are distinct from the biblical genealogy of Jesus, which concerns the ancestors of Jesus, and from the alleged Brothers of Jesus and other kin of Jesus, known as the Desposyni. Joel dives even deeper into the supposed hidden bloodlines of Jesus with a look at who Joseph of Arimathea was historically. He sets his focus on the gnostic Essene version of Joseph and the idea he was actually James the Just, brother of Jesus. He then looks at the Tribe of Scota and how it spawned from ancient Egypt into Ireland and Scottland from Israeli descent and possibly intermingling with the Tuatha De Danann. Lastly, Joel walks through the Fisher Kings, the Merovingians, whose rise to the top was swift and seemingly out of nowhere, but how it makes sense considering the represented the most secretive bloodline in the history of the earth.

En este extraordinario documental de Henry Lincoln, uno de los autores del libro “El Enigma Sagrado” burdamente plagiado por Dan Brown en El código Da Vinci, encontraremos la relación entre el Priorato de Sion, los Templarios, los Merovingios, los francmasones, los Rosacruces la geometría sagrada, el “Grial” y mucho más. Los autores, buscando el supuesto tesoro perdido de los Templarios, acabaron por encontrar mucho más de lo que esperaban e imaginaban. La búsqueda comienza en Rennes-le-Château con la figura de François Bérenger Saunière, nacido el 11 de abril de 1852 en la cercana aldea de Montazels. Era un cura pobre, que mejoraba su alimentación con lo que pescaba y cazaba durante sus largas excursiones por la comarca. Sus dietarios, que se han conservado hasta la fecha, atestiguan un nivel de vida exiguo y raciones de hambre. La parroquia consagrada a María Magdalena y escenario de las supuestas bodas de Dagoberto II con Gizelle de Razès, se hallaba en avanzado estado de ruina hacia finales del XIX. La última restauración databa del siglo XV. Todo eso cambió cuando el nuevo presbítero emprendió gracias a algunas pequeñas donaciones la restauración del altar. Al levantar el ara de las antiguas columnas que la sustentaban aparecieron varios documentos guardados en tubos de madera, de lo cual hubo testigos, porque Saunière contaba con la ayuda de seis obreros para los trabajos de la restauración, y dos de ellos aún vivían en 1958 y corroboran el descubrimiento de los manuscritos. Saunière halló cuatro o cinco pergaminos en dichos tubos de madera sellados. Dos de ellos contenían genealogías relacionadas con la dinastía merovingia, los otros hablan de pasajes evangélicos. Desde aquel momento, Saunière mudó de fortuna. El hallazgo puso en marcha un encadenamiento de hechos cuyas consecuencias rebasaron con mucho el mero bienestar espiritual del párroco. Desde aquel momento manifestó una inmensa riqueza, un tren de vida lujoso, hizo frecuentes viajes, restauró la iglesia, se embarcó en nuevas construcciones y convirtió Rennes-le-Château en punto de reunión de nobles y destacados visitantes. Mucho se ha escrito sobre el misterio de los Cátaros y Rennes-le-Château. Hoy sabemos que la fortuna de Saunière provenía de las donaciones de nobles y de sociedades secretas vinculadas al secreto.

Waar is alle materie uit opgebouwd, en welke wetten volgen die deeltjes om alles op aarde en de rest van het heelal vorm te geven? Wat is antimaterie, en wat heeft quantumtheorie daarmee te maken? In Reis naar de kern neemt Ivo van Vulpen, deeltjesonderzoeker bij CERN in Genève en verbonden aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam, je mee langs al deze grote vragen. Je denkt misschien dat dat ver van je normale belevingswereld afstaat, maar al deze inzichten worden dagelijks gebruikt. Van de GPS op je telefoon, tot de scanners in ziekenhuizen.. Over Reis naar de Kern Na Terug naar de Oerknal met Govert Schilling en Baan door het Brein met Iris Sommer is het nu tijd voor een nieuw avontuur: Reis naar de kern. Een fascinerende duik in de wereld van de allerkleinste deeltjes, waar de allergrootste vragen worden beantwoord. In vijf afleveringen zoomen we in op de wereld van het atoom, de quantummechanica, antimaterie en de ontdekking van het Higgs Boson. Reis naar de Kern is een podcast van BNR. Tekst en presentatie: Ivo van Vulpen. Concept: Connor Clerx. Eindredactie: Annick van der Leeuw. Montage: Gijs Friesen en Connor Clerx. Sounddesign en mixage: Gijs Friesen. Over Ivo Ivo van Vulpen is als deeltjesfysicus werkzaam aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam, het Nationaal Instituut voor subatomaire fysica (Nikhef) en hij doet onderzoek bij de deeltjesversneller (Large Hadron Collider) bij CERN in Genève. Hij is hoogleraar Wetenschapscommunicatie, in het bijzonder betreffende de natuurkunde, aan de Universiteit Leiden. In 2018 verscheen zijn eerste boek: De melodie van de natuur. Transcript aflevering Tot de jaren dertig was eigenlijk niks aan de hand. De natuurkunde was vrij overzichtelijk. Weer overzichtelijk moet ik natuurlijk zeggen. In de vorige aflevering hadden we het over de atoomrevolutie in die eerste decennia van de 20e eeuw waarin het ons eindelijk lukte om door te dringen tot de wereld van het atoom zelf, die kleinste bouwstenen van alle elementen. Tot de verbazing van wetenschappers bleken alle atomen uit dezelfde drie basisbouwstenen opgebouwd te zijn: protonen en neutronen (die samen de atoomkernen vormden) en de elektronen. Van negentig elementen terug naar drie bouwstenen dus. Heerlijk simpel en overzichtelijk! Alles op orde dus zou je denken. Maar toen gebeurde er iets waardoor we in één klap wisten dat we nog niet op de diepste laag van de kennis waren aangekomen en dat nog een onbekende wereld verborgen lag. In deze aflevering vertel ik jullie over deze verrassing en hoe het ons door ontwikkelingen in de techniek uiteindelijk wél lukte om het fundament van de natuur te bereiken. De neutronen en protonen bleken toen opgebouwd te zijn uit nog kleinere deeltjes, we leerden zelf deeltjes te maken in het laboratorium met behulp van deeltjesversnellers en ze te bestuderen met detectoren. Alles samen noemen we dat het Standaard Model en dat is tot op de dag van vandaag het beste beeld dat we hebben van de wereld op de allerkleinste schaal. En daar zitten gekke dingen bij hoor: deeltjes die dwars door de aarde kunnen vliegen bijvoorbeeld en magische dingen als anti-materie. Om deze stappen te begrijpen is het handig om je voor te stellen dat de ontdekking van het atoom net zoiets is aanspoelen op een onbekend eiland, waarna je, uit nieuwsgierigheid, gaat proberen dat eiland verder in kaart te brengen. Op het eiland bevindt zich een dicht oerwoud en terwijl je er steeds dieper en dieper in probeert door te dringen, bijvoorbeeld langs een rivier weet je niet of dat bos zich nog tientallen kilometers zo uit zal strekken en of er überhaupt nog wel iets anders te vinden zal zijn dan dezelfde bomen, vruchten en dieren die je van thuis kent. Maar als er dan ineens een bootje de rivier af komt zakken of als je een dier ziet dat je nooit eerder hebt gezien dan weet je gelijk dat je niet alleen bent en dat er meer dingen verborgen zijn. Precies zo'n situatie hadden we in de deeltjesfysica. Tijdens het onderzoek naar atoomkernen en radioactiviteit bleek gek genoeg dat er ook een bron van straling aanwezig was in een ruimte als er helemaal geen radioactieve stoffen in de buurt waren. Het idee was dat dat veroorzaakt werd door radioactieve stoffen in de aarde zelf. Best logisch en dus ‘case closed’ zou je denken, maar dan heb je net even buiten de koppigheid van de natuurkundigen gerekend. Er is er namelijk altijd eentje die het zeker wil weten en die naar de top van de Eiffeltoren gaat om te kijken of daar inderdaad minder straling is of in een luchtballon stapt om nog hoger te meten. Dat is allebei echt gebeurd! En maar goed ook, want het bleek dat de straling helemaal niet afnam hoe hoger je kwam. het werd juist sterker. De straling kwam dus niet uit de aarde, maar uit de ruimte! Blijkbaar worden we op aarde blijkbaar dus gebombardeerd door deeltjes uit het universum. Die botsen hoog in de lucht op zuurstofatomen en produceren daar een soort lawine van deeltjes waarvan sommigen lang genoeg leven om het aardoppervlak te halen. Die deeltjes waren dus de bron van die mysterieuze straling waar we naar op zoek waren. Dat onderzoek naar deze zogenaamde kosmische stralen is nog steeds een belangrijk onderzoeksgebied, maar daar gaat het nu even niet om. Mensen onderzochten om welke deeltjes het nou precies ging door de sporen van de deeltjes zichtbaar te maken, net zoals de sporen die vliegtuigen hoog in de lucht produceren, en door te kijken hoe ze reageerden als ze op andere materialen botsten. Zoveel mogelijkheden waren er niet, want we kenden immers maar drie verschillende deeltjes. Tot hun verbazing zagen ze dat het deeltjes waren die wel elektrisch geladen waren, maar geen proton waren …. en ook geen elektron. Een nieuw deeltje dus dat ongeveer tweehonderd keer zo zwaar bleek te zijn als een elektron. Het kreeg een eigen naam: het muon. Een onverwachte gast. Niet echt nodig, maar dat maakt niet uit. Het is net als gekleurde hagelslag en dure sportwagens. Niet echt nodig, maar het maakt de wereld wel een stuk leuker. Als kosmische stralen op dunne materialen vallen, blijken er nog veel meer nieuwe deeltjes te ontstaan. Sterker nog, een hele dierentuin vol nieuwe deeltjes. Fascinerend, maar het onderzoek was erg onhandig, want je was volledig overgeleverd aan wat de ruimte je gaf. Gelukkig lukte het ons dankzij twee technieken om zelf de regie in handen te krijgen: 1) de deeltjesversneller (om zelf deeltjes te kunnen maken in deeltjesbotsingen) en 2) de deeltjesdetector om alle deeltjes zichtbaar te maken die in die botsingen werden gemaakt. Dit zijn de twee elementen die we tot op de dag van vandaag nog steeds gebruiken om de natuur op de kleinste schaal te bestuderen. Alleen steeds een stukje geavanceerder. Eerst de deeltjesversneller. Dat we zelf deeltjes kunnen maken is een cruciale ontdekking geweest. De bekende formule van Albert Einstein E=mc2 betekent namelijk niet alleen dat je massa kan omzetten in energie (dat was de basis van de kernenergie en het branden van de zon uit de vorige aflevering), maar het werkt ook de andere kant op; als je maar genoeg energie bij elkaar brengt kan je daarmee ook zelf massa creëren: nieuwe deeltjes dus. In een deeltjesversneller geven we deeltjes, bijvoorbeeld protonen, energie door ze een klein zetje te geven. Daarna gebruiken we magneten om ze af te buigen en ze door een holle buis in een heel grote cirkel weer terug te leiden naar de plek waar we ze een zetje gaven … om ze vervolgens opnieuw een duwtje te geven. Als je dat heel vaak herhaalt krijgen deeltjes een enorm hoge snelheid en energie en als je ze daarna op elkaar laat botsen kun je al die bewegingsenergie gebruiken om nieuwe deeltjes te maken. Het voordeel is dat we zo deeltjes in een gecontroleerde omgeving kunnen maken. De ontwikkeling van de deeltjesversnellers ging heel snel: steeds meer energie en steeds meer botsingen. Op dit moment is de krachtigste deeltjesversneller op aarde de Large Hadron Collider op CERN, het Europees centrum voor de deeltjesfysica. Dan de deeltjesdetector. Om te begrijpen wat er in een botsing gebeurt is het cruciaal dat je de botsing kunt ‘fotograferen’. Dat is niet zo makkelijk, want ik zeg wel fotograferen, omdat we dat allemaal kennen uit onze eigen belevingswereld, maar een normale fotocamera kan alleen maar licht zien en helemaal geen andere deeltjes. De meeste deeltjes in de botsing leven trouwens ook veel te kort om te zien. We hebben een manier bedacht die je kunt vergelijken met die van het bestuderen van voetstappen in de sneeuw. Als ik je een foto laat zien van een spoor van voetstappen in de sneeuw dan vind je het vast gek als ik je vraag of het een auto, een konijn of een mens is geweest die deze sporen heeft achtergelaten. ‘Een mens natuurlijk’ zeg je dan. En als je de foto in meer detail bekijkt kun je vast nog veel meer achterhalen. Je ziet bijvoorbeeld of het één persoon was of twee, of het een kind was of een volwassene en nog veel meer. In een deeltjesdetector doen we eigenlijk precies hetzelfde. Als een deeltje door een detector heen beweegt laat het daar ook een karakteristieke afdruk achter, net als die voetstappen in de sneeuw. Het gaat hier te ver om de details te bespreken, maar door deeltjes door verschillende detectielagen te laten bewegen, die elk een specifieke eigenschap vastleggen, kun je van alle deeltjes hun type, richting en energie vastleggen. En hoewel het strikt genomen niet klopt is het prima om er over na te denken als een ‘foto’ van de botsing. Dat doe ik zelf ook. Maar het is wel echt ingewikkeld. Er zijn een miljard botsingen per seconde en in elke botsing zijn vaak wel honderd(en) deeltjes. Ontzettend moeilijk dus, … maar niet onmogelijk als je samenwerkt met slimme en creatieve mensen van over de hele wereld. Veel van de nieuwe deeltjes die gemaakt worden in de botsing leven veel en veel te kort om onze detector te bereiken. Het einde van het leven klinkt dramatischer dan het is, maar deeltjes kunnen uit elkaar vallen in een mix van andere deeltjes. Om toch iets te leren over die wereld die al lang verdwenen is, gebruiken we dezelfde truc die paleontologen gebruiken. De wereld die zij bestuderen, die van dinosauriërs, is ook al 65 miljoen jaar geleden verdwenen en toch verschijnen er wekelijks boeken over verschillende soorten dino’s en hun eigenschappen. Dat kan omdat er dingen bewaard zijn gebleven, hun botten, en door die weer in elkaar te zetten kunnen ze die wereld reconstrueren. Een super slim idee en wij deeltjesfysici doen hetzelfde. Wij gebruiken de ‘stabiele’ deeltjes (de deeltjes die lang genoeg leven om ze te zien in onze detectoren) om te herleiden wat er in de botsing gebeurd is. Hebben we nou wat aan die deeltjesversnellers en detectoren of zijn het speeltjes van jullie wetenschappers? Zeker! Er zijn zelfs duizenden deeltjesversnellers in de wereld. Bijvoorbeeld in ziekenhuizen. Helaas kent bijna iedereen wel iemand die kanker heeft en bestraald wordt, maar bijna niemand weet waarmee mensen dan eigenlijk bestraald worden. Meestal zijn röntgenstralen met heel veel energie het meest geschikt en om die te maken heb je een deeltjesversneller nodig. Net als bij de productie van ‘gewone’ röntgenstralen komt de straling vrij als deeltjes versneld worden en op een plaatje worden geschoten. Zonder deeltjesversneller geen kanker-bestraling dus, en daarom heeft elk groot ziekenhuis deeltjesversnellers. En de detectoren zelf dan? Laat ik ook daar weer een toepassing in het ziekenhuis pakken. We kennen allemaal de röntgenfoto. De straling zelf zie je niet, maar die gaat wel dwars door je spieren en vet heen, maar niet door je botten. Als je het licht opvangt aan de andere kant van je lijf kun je op de foto daarom heel goed de botten zien. En dus zien of er een breuk is. Of niet. Als je een scherpere foto wil kun je meer licht gebruiken, maar dat is niet zonder gevaar. Het is niet voor niks dat iedereen de kamer uitgaat in het ziekenhuis of bij de tandarts als er een röntgenfoto gemaakt wordt. De straling richt namelijk veel schade aan op zijn weg door je lichaam. Een andere oplossing om een betere foto te maken is door de fotografische plaat zelf beter te maken. Dit is net zoiets als het vergroten van het aantal pixels bij een digitale camera. En elke verbetering in de gevoeligheid zorgt ervoor dat met dezelfde hoeveelheid straling een betere foto gemaakt kan worden. Voor een enkele foto zal dat niet veel uitmaken, maar voor een zogenaamde ct-scan (dat is ongeveer het equivalent van tweehonderd foto’s tegelijk) betekent zou zoiets een enorme gezondheidswinst voor patiënten kunnen betekenen. Net als aan het begin van de twintigste eeuw toen men alle atomen rangschikte en in detail onderzocht om uiteindelijk te ontdekken dat ze allemaal opgebouwd waren uit dezelfde drie bouwstenen gebeurde hier eigenlijk weer hetzelfde. In deeltjesbotsingen was er een hele dierentuin aan deeltjes tevoorschijn gekomen, maar toen het stof neerdaalde bleken al die deeltjes ook weer combinaties te zijn van maar aan handvol elementaire bouwstenen. Het proton en neutron bleken bijvoorbeeld opgebouwd te zijn uit zogenaamde up-quarks en down-quarks. Samen met het elektron waren dat de bouwstenen van alle stabiele materie. Ze vormen samen de zogenaamde eerste familie, maar er hoort nog een vierde familielid bij: het neutrino. Een deeltje waar ik verder niet veel over zal zeggen, maar dat geproduceerd wordt in radioactieve processen en dat bekend staat als ‘spookdeeltje’ omdat het zonder probleem dwars door de aarde heen kan vliegen. Belangrijker is om te vertellen dat er van elk van deze vier deeltjes twee kopieën bestonden, twee kopieën met meer massa’s en die bovendien maar kort leefden. Dat gekke muon bijvoorbeeld, het zwaardere zusje van het elektron waar de hele zoektocht mee begon, heeft in tegenstelling tot het elektron niet het eeuwige leven, maar leeft maar een miljoenste seconde. Uiteindelijk bleken er 12 elementaire deeltjes te zijn, netjes gerangschikt in drie families van elk vier deeltjes. Deze deeltjes, samen met de regels over de manier waarop ze met elkaar communiceren (elkaar aantrekken, afstoten of in elkaar versmelten) vormen samen het beroemde Standaard Model. Dit Standaard Model vormt op dit moment het fundament van onze kennis over de opbouw van alle materie. Er is géén diepere laag. Dit is het. Het is een fantastisch en complex wiskundig bouwwerk waarmee we bijna alle deeltjes-fenomenen die we zien kunnen verklaren, maar tegelijkertijd zijn er ook frustrerende open vragen en mysteries. Waarom zijn er bijvoorbeeld drie families en niet gewoon één en waarom hebben de deeltjes zulke enorm verschillende massa en lukt het niet om de zwaartekracht een plekje te geven in de theorie? Dat allemaal in de volgende afleveringen. We wandelen nu in grote stappen door het bos heen recht op het doel af, maar voor we afsluiten wil ik nog even een klein zijpaadje inslaan en iets zeggen over iets is dat als totale science-fiction en magie bekend staat onder het brede publiek terwijl het voor deeltjesfysici de gewoonste zaak is van de wereld is: anti-materie. Komt ie! Toen de quantummechanica nog in de kinderschoenen stond bleek het lastig om de nieuwe theorie te combineren met de relativiteitstheorie. Enorm frustrerend, maar uiteindelijk lukte het de Engelsman Paul Dirac. Hij vond een formule die hem in staat stelde de bewegingen van het elektron in die rare quantumwereld te voorspellen. Het werkte allemaal fantastisch, maar zijn nieuwe theorie voorspelde dat er ook zoiets als een anti-elektron zou moeten bestaan (een positron voor de liefhebbers). Een deeltje dat even zwaar zou moeten zijn als een elektron, maar dan positief geladen. Hoewel er op zich niks mis is met het voorspellen van een nieuw deeltje (doe wat je niet laten kan), maar het leek naïef, omdat er geen en-kel experiment was dat zo’n anti-elektron had gezien. Gelukkig voor Dirac werd het positron vrij snel na zijn voorspelling ontdekt in het onderzoek naar kosmische stralen. En weer door Carl Anderson, de man die ook het muon deeltje had ontdekt. ‘Some guys have all the luck’. Later zou blijken dat inderdaad elk deeltje zijn eigen anti-deeltje heeft en het vormt daarmee ‘gewoon’ de helft van de bouwstenen van het Standaard Model. Rondom antimaterie hangt een zweem van mysterie. Er is op aarde namelijk alleen materie en geen antimaterie en ook in de rest van het heelal lijkt het niet voor te komen. HOE kan dat nou? Een van de bijzondere aspecten van deeltjes en antideeltjes is ook dat ze kunnen samensmelten als ze elkaar tegenkomen, maar dat geeft gelijk de vraag waarom er dan überhaupt nog materie over is in het heelal als ze bij de oerknal in even grote hoeveelheden gemaakt zijn? Het mechanisme dat deze asymmetrie veroorzaakt is nog steeds een van de grootste raadsels van de deeltjesfysica. Voor jou als luisteraar is het vast krankzinnig om te beseffen dat iets zo exotisch als anti-materie, iets waar je misschien tot 5 minuten geleden nog nooit van had gehoord, toch een toepassing heeft gevonden. Dat is zo namelijk. Het is niet in de vorm van een bom zoals in het boek het Bernini-mysterie van Dan Brown, maar juist om levens te redden in het ziekenhuis. Daar worden de twee lichtflitsen die gemaakt worden als een positron een elektron elkaar tegenkomen gebruikt om tumoren te lokaliseren. Laat me uitleggen hoe we dat doen. Bij patiënten wordt eerst een radioactieve stof geïnjecteerd die heel slim aan een (suiker)molecuul wordt gehangen zodat het zich via het bloed naar de tumor toe beweegt. Er wordt een speciaal atoom gebruikt dat positronen uitstraalt als straling, antimaterie dus. En dat positron zal, zodra het vrijkomt, vrijwel gelijk met een elektron samensmelten omdat die immers overal in het lichaam zitten. Daarbij worden dan twee lichtdeeltjes gemaakt die in tegenovergestelde richtingen dwars door het lichaam naar buiten schieten. En die kun je zien met een fotocamera. Als je dus ongeveer tegelijkertijd twee lichtdeeltjes ziet die in tegengestelde richting uit het lichaam komen, dan weet je dat er op de lijn tussen de twee camera’s een positron en een elektron zijn samengesmolten .. en dat zich op die lijn dus de tumor bevond. Als je ook nog nauwkeurig de aankomsttijd van de flitsen meet dan weet je ook waar de tumor precies zit. Omdat er bij de injectie een groot aantal radioactieve atomen wordt gebruikt en de lichtdeeltjes steeds in een willekeurige richting uitgezonden worden dan kunnen we zo een driedimensionaal beeld van de tumor maken. Antimaterie in ziekenhuizen om tumoren op te sporen; wie had dat ooit gedacht! En sterker nog, ik heb vandaag ook verteld dat als je een tumor blijkt te hebben we daarna weer een deeltjesversnellers nodig hebben om de tumoren te bestralen en te vernietigen. Deeltjesfysica redt levens! Met alle elementaire deeltjes en de krachten die vertellen hoe ze bewegen en met elkaar communiceren hebben we het fundament van de natuur gevonden: het Standaard Model. Tegelijk zijn er nog grote open vragen. Een van de grootste tekortkomingen was dat deeltjes in de theorie geen massa konden hebben. En dat is jammer, want a) deeltjes hebben wel massa en b) als deeltjes geen massa hebben zullen ze niet samenklonteren tot sterren en planeten en waren wij er dus ook nooit geweest. Een mogelijke oplossing, bedacht door een jonge Britse theoretisch natuurkundige, was de start van een zoektocht die 50 jaar zou duren. Daarover meer in de volgende aflevering.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Andy celebrates yet another Victory Monday coming out of the holiday weekend as he joins Brendan! to recap Brian Campbell's second playoff win of 2025. The two discuss the John Deere Classic and how Campbell is being positioned as an "anti-rollback" hero by winning twice as one of the shortest hitters on the PGA Tour. They also chat about other contenders in the Quad Cities with Max Homa showing glimpses of good form and Matt Kuchar sharing more wisdom with young players late on a summer Sunday. Kevin Roy, son of Patrick, turned to the platform formerly known as Twitter to defend himself against Joseph LaMagna about a rules issue on Saturday, leaving Andy and Brendan to wonder what all the fuss was about. PJ chimes in with some conspiracy theories regarding Aldrich Potgieter's mysterious withdrawal before the episode turns to the DP World Tour and author Dan Brown's latest win. Just in time for Coffee Golf season, Brown has returned to the winner's circle and will surely play a prominent role at Royal Portrush in a few weeks. Brendan and PJ are also giddy about the latest star from the Tartan Tour, Chris Maclean. Elsewhere overseas, Lottie Woad won the KPMG Women's Irish Open by six shots, her first win in a professional event. Andy and Brendan debate whether she should take her LPGA Tour card this year once she earns enough points, or play out her senior season at FSU next spring. In news, Lucas Glover is ready for the Scottish Open and is glad no LIV players received an invite, and the new FedEx Cup payout structure has been revealed. This episode ends with a tribute to Ed Fiori, who passed away on Sunday at the age of 72.

The Jesus bloodline refers to the proposition that a lineal sequence of the historical Jesus has persisted, possibly to the present time. Although absent from the Gospels or historical records, the concept of Jesus having descendants has gained a presence in the public imagination, as seen with Holy Blood, Holy Grail a book by Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, and Henry Lincoln and Dan Brown's 2003 best-selling novel The Da Vinci Code. These claimed Jesus's bloodlines are distinct from the biblical genealogy of Jesus, which concerns the ancestors of Jesus, and from the alleged Brothers of Jesus and other kin of Jesus, known as the Desposyni. Joel continues to peel back the layers shrouding the mystery of the supposed Bloodlines of Jesus Christ. He looks at the origins of the Knights Templar and how their roots go back to not only the Priory of Sion but Rex Deus and the Essenes. He then takes a look at the hidden relationship between the Templars and the Islamic Assassins and how they both professed outwardly their devotion to Christianity and Islam but secretly practiced esoteric Gnosticism coupled with devotion to hiding hidden bloodlines. He also peers into Rosslyn Chapel, the secrets it holds, including Freemasonic treasures along with the Holy Grail. Finally, Joel lays out the Gnostic blueprint for hiding the genealogy of Jesus and Mary Magdalene and what became of their purported children.

We've all had one — that job you just wish you could go back and do again. Maybe it didn't go to plan, maybe the client changed their mind halfway through, or maybe it's just been living rent-free in your head ever since. Today on the show, we heard your stories about the ones that got away — and the jobs you'd tackle differently if you had the chance. We spoke to Wobbly Bob and Dan Brown to get their takes, plus all the best messages from you lot on site and, of course, the Pub Lunch Quiz. Enjoy!

We kick off with the hosts' cheerful greeting and their confession that they recorded the Fully-Booked: Literary Podcast ahead of schedule, joking that it is “the last week of June… but not really.” They remind us that June on Fully-Booked has been all about banned books, and they want to finish with something big.While scanning international censorship lists, Meaghan notices that The Da Vinci Code has been pulled from shelves in Lebanon, India, Pakistan, Egypt, Jordan, and the Philippines. The reason is simple enough: some Christian leaders find the novel's ideas offensive.Shirin admits she did not realize Lebanon has such a large Christian population, and the pair laugh at their own ignorance before pivoting to the film version they are about to rewatch. They also poke fun at their ongoing knack for picking “the worst movie adaptation possible,” a running joke that keeps listeners feeling part of an inside circle.Revisiting The Da Vinci Code: Book Hype, Film Fever, and Worldwide UproarWe move from playful chit-chat to the cultural moment of 2003, when Dan Brown's novel exploded onto every bookstore display.The hosts recall how the familiar red hardcover stamped with a sliver of the Mona Lisa seemed to stare you down in every airport. Within two years, the book had sold tens of millions of copies, appeared in forty-plus languages, and sparked feverish speculation about secret societies, coded messages, and a hidden bloodline of Christ.And Hollywood pounced. In 2006, Ron Howard delivered a glossy blockbuster starring Tom Hanks, Alfred Molina, Ian McKellen, and Paul Bettany. At the time, Shirin remembers thinking the movie was “the shit,” full of twists that felt like National Treasure with better haircuts.Yet outside a Boston theater on opening night, she saw live protests, something a Canadian teenager did not expect on a school trip. That mash-up of box-office buzz and genuine outrage fascinates the hosts; it proves a thriller can still hit raw nerves when it challenges sacred stories.National Treasure, Nicolas Cage, and Tangents We Can't ResistBecause no Fully-Booked episode is complete without at least one joyful detour, we zoom off to Shirin's devotion to National Treasure.She owns a T-shirt with Nicolas Cage's face, and the declaration “I'm gonna steal the Declaration,” makes her husband watch the film annually and defend its goofy charm at every opportunity.Meaghan, who once watched the movie constantly with her mother, agrees it is “terrible but fun.” Comparing ratings, they discover that Cage's romp actually edges out The Da Vinci Code on Rotten Tomatoes, an outcome they find both hilarious and strangely satisfying.This lighthearted break matters. It shows how personal nostalgia shapes our judgment. Sometimes we cling to a so-so movie because it reminds us of family vacations or Friday sleepovers, not because it is a cinematic masterpiece. We feel that tug, too; I still grin whenever I hear Cage whisper “I'm going to steal it,” and I suspect many listeners have a similar guilty-pleasure favorite.Characters, Plot Holes, and Why the Film Falls FlatBack to business: the hosts dissect why the 2006 adaptation drags. First, length.At two-and-a-half hours, it spread over three separate viewing sessions in Meaghan's living room. Second, plausibility.The victim supposedly staggers through the Louvre after being shot in the gut, leaving a breadcrumb trail of riddles in his own blood, yet still has the mental clarity to craft a sophisticated code. We agree with the hosts that this stretches believability to comic levels; our stomach hurts just imagining the crawl, never mind the cryptography. Third, character depth.In the book, Sophie Neveu is a brilliant police cryptographer; on screen, she turns doe-eyed, waiting for Robert Langdon to solve everything. Tom Hanks, lovable as ever, cannot overcome a script that reduces side characters to exposition machines.It feels as if a longer, richer draft was chopped down by anxious studio editors trying to hit a release date. The result is a movie that teaches the audience how to Google but forgets to give its heroine agency. We nod along when the hosts groan, “This person who's this intelligent would not act like that.”Final Thoughts: Rating Rants, Unfinished Franchises, and What Comes NextWrapping up, the hosts admit they wanted to love the film. They felt a pang of nostalgia, hitting play, wishing the old rush of “twist on every page” would return.Instead, they found themselves pausing for snacks, baby duties, and the occasional disbelief-fuelled rant. Rotten Tomatoes sits at a meager 25 percent critic score, and once the hosts read that aloud, they cannot unsee the flaws.Meanwhile, Angels and Demons and Inferno limp on with the same creative team but never reclaim the lightning in a bottle. Even a short-lived TV spin-off, The Lost Symbol, failed to survive past one season.The conversation closes with laughter, apologies to any die-hard fans, and a promise that Meaghan will choose next month's adaptations more carefully. The bigger takeaway is relatable: we all remember a book or movie that blew our adolescent minds, only to find it wobbly on rewatch.The hosts show us it's okay to change our minds, poke fun at past tastes, and still respect the cultural storm a story once created. As we finish, we feel like we sat on the couch with two friends who love books, love movies, and love cracking jokes about both, exactly the kind of company we crave when the credits roll.

The Jesus bloodline refers to the proposition that a lineal sequence of the historical Jesus has persisted, possibly to the present time. Although absent from the Gospels or historical records, the concept of Jesus having descendants has gained a presence in the public imagination, as seen with Holy Blood, Holy Grail a book by Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, and Henry Lincoln and Dan Brown's 2003 best-selling novel The Da Vinci Code. These claimed Jesus's bloodlines are distinct from the biblical genealogy of Jesus, which concerns the ancestors of Jesus, and from the alleged Brothers of Jesus and other kin of Jesus, known as the Desposyni. Walk with Joel as he digs through a mountain of secret societies, gnostic sects and proposed genealogies to uncover the truth of these so-called "hidden" bloodlines of Jesus. He looks at the Desposyni vs. Rex Deus and if there is any correlation between the two. He then uncovers the Rennes-le-Château, Father Bérenger Saunière and the secrets they both were said to possess. Lastly, Joel looks at the mysterious Priory of Sion and the supposed hoaxer, Pierre Plantard, who was behind it and if the list of masters were indeed hiding Merivingian bloodlines.

In this week's episode of Friends Talking Nerdy, Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd crack open the covers of some of their favorite books that eventually made their way to the big screen. While the hosts inevitably touch on the films these books inspired, the heart of the conversation stays grounded in the written word—the themes, characters, and emotional impact these stories had when first encountered in print.Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd share personal reflections on what made each book resonate with them, offering insights on how the source material often dives deeper than its cinematic counterpart. From the cold elegance of Casino Royale by Ian Fleming to the raw introspection of Jarhead by Anthony Swofford, and from the spy thriller intensity of The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum to the timeless satire and romance of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, this episode covers a broad literary landscape.The conversation also spans cult classics and controversial adaptations, such as Nothing Lasts Forever by Roderick Thorpe—the basis for Die Hard—and American Hero by Larry Beinhart, the novel that inspired Wag the Dog. Add to that the gothic allure of Interview With the Vampire by Anne Rice, the conspiracy-laced mystery of The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown, the psychological depth of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey, and the sweeping Southern drama of Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell, and you have an episode that's both literary and cinematic in scope.Whether you're a bookworm, a film buff, or both, Episode 416 invites you to revisit the books that first sparked your imagination—and perhaps gave you a new way to look at their movie counterparts.Tune in, turn the page, and talk nerdy with us.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.

Welcome to Day 2641 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – “Constantine, Conspiracy, and the Canon” –  I Dare You Not To Bore Me With The Bible. Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2641 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2641 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Today is the 58th lesson in our segment, Theology Thursday. Utilizing excerpts from a book titled: I Dare You Not To Bore Me With The Bible written by Hebrew Bible scholar and professor the late Dr. Michael S Heiser, we will invest a couple of years going through the entire Bible, exploring short Biblical lessons that you may not have received in Bible classes or Church. The Bible is a wonderful book. Its pages reveal the epic story of God's redemption of humankind and the long, bitter conflict against evil. Yet it's also a book that seems strange to us. While God's Word was written for us, it wasn't written to us. Today's lesson is: “Constantine, Conspiracy, and the Canon.” Dan Brown's best-selling conspiratorial thriller The Da Vinci Code seems like ancient history now. At its peak of popularity, the novel set records both for sales and for irritating scholars with its view that Jesus and the 12 apostles held to gnostic heresies. The book's bizarre plot focuses on Jesus' bloodline extending through a child born by Mary Magdalene. Within that narrative. Brown asserts that the New Testament canon was determined by the Roman Emperor Constantine—who was not friendly to gnostic Christianity—at a time much later (fourth century AD) than any New Testament scholar would endorse. Unfortunately, this myth has since taken on a life of its own. The notion that Constantine decided which books should constitute the New Testament springs from the ancient Life of Constantine by Eusebius of Caesarea (AD 263-339). Eusebius reports that in a letter written in AD 331, the emperor instructed him to ... order fifty copies of the sacred Scriptures, the provision and use of which you know to be most needful for the instruction of the Church, to be written on prepared parchment in a legible manner, and in a convenient, portable form, by professional transcribers thoroughly practised in their art. This same Constantine had earlier convened the Council of Nicea (AD 325), famous for its focus on the full deity of Christ against Arianism, which taught that Jesus was a created being. Brown carelessly conflated the two events in The Da Vinci Code to put forth the preposterous idea that Constantine had decided at Nicea which books belonged in the New Testament. But can we be sure this didn't happen? And if not, what exactly did Constantine demand in this letter? We can be certain that the Council of Nicea did not determine the books of the New Testament at Constantine's request. The date of Eusebius' correspondence tells us that Nicea did not consider the issue of the canon. Today, anyone can read the 20 decisions rendered at Nicea (coincidentally called “canons”).- None of them concerns the New Testament Scriptures. In addition, accounts of what happened at Nicea were described by several early church historians and theologians who lived at the time of the event or shortly thereafter. Their testimony is unanimous in opposition to the idea that Constantine...

In this week's episode, Kayla and Taylor discuss Margot Douaihy's 2023 novel Scorched Grace. Topics include lemon ribbons, New Orleans and how much we love it, how not upsetting a murder mystery is, the uniqueness of a nun (and a punk nun at that) solving mysteries, kickass feminist nuns, Sister Holiday's views on religion, how Nina is THE WORST, the interesting partnership between Sister Holiday and Riveaux, and the tragedy of Sister Augustine.

We have guest on today's episode is hoping to bring attention and light to a very cold case.  A few weeks ago, I had the honor and pleasure of speaking to 11 time Emmy award-winning (to name a few) creative composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist and NOW filmmaker, Dan Brown Junior.  Because you listen to this podcast and many other podcasts across the true crime landscape, I can say with a reasonable degree of certainty that you have most likely heard Dan's work…somewhere…on networks such as ABC,CBS, NBC,  Disney, A & E,  Investigation Discovery, Hulu, Netflix, YouTube, History Channel, Hallmark, NFL, HBO, TLC, HLN, Oxygen,, BET, AMC, Apple, Crime & Investigation… on shows such as Dateline, Snapped, Unspeakable Crimes, The Hunt for the Zodiac Killer, Pitbulls & Parolees, Killer Beside Me, Catfish, The Hunt with John Walks, Deadline Crime with Tamron Hall, Wives with Knives, American Greed, The Disappearance of Maura Murray, Very Scary People, Forensic Files II, The Disappearance of Crystal Roberts, A Current Affair…to name a few…there are literally thousands of places where you've heard his work and today, we will put…at least a voice to the musician who woke up one day and decided he wanted to “write the music you hear on the crime shows”.  With that, Dan created Crimesonics in 2018 with a singular goal in mind…to take over the sound of crime television, films and games worldwide by supplying the globe with exquisitely criminal production music.  Since then, Crimesonics, under Dan's creative vision and leadership, has amassed an eclectic repository of criminal and investigative music and sound effects, redefining what Crime TV could sound like.  Dan has since crossed over into filmmaking with a project that is also a passion, with his documentary Girl Forgotten: What Happened To Brianna Wells.  You heard the trailer of Dan's film at the opening, a link to which is in the show notes where you can watch and subscribe to Crimesonics on YouTube…which you're going to want to once you learn who Brianna was and is…and the ongoing efforts to solve her murder.  With his documentary, Dan hopes to bring light to a case that has been languishing in darkness for more than a decade.  This is Killafornia Dreaming's interview with Dan Brown JuniorHAVE TIPS?:https://silentwitness.org/cases/brianna-wells-1800-e-mobile-lanealley-phoenix/(480) WITNESS (948-6377)1-800-343-TIPS (8477)(480)TESTIGO (837-8446) for SpanishSOURCES:https://crimesonics.com/https://www.danbrownjr.com/about/https://www.azfamily.com/2021/08/18/cold-case-still-no-arrest-7-years-after-teens-body-found-phoenix-alley/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-DJ3p_VJt8https://silentwitness.org/cases/brianna-wells-1800-e-mobile-lanealley-phoenix/

Im 12. Jahrhundert pilgert ein frommer französischer Ritter nach Palästina – und gründet dort eine Organisation, wie sie die Christenheit noch nie gesehen hat: die »Arme Ritterschaft Christi vom salomonischen Tempel« - kurz: den Templerorden. Die Gemeinschaft mit ihren Burgen ist streng wie ein Mönchsorden und zugleich unbarmherzig kriegerisch. So werden die Templer zu den meistgefürchteten Kämpfern der Christen. Und zu einem geheimnisvollen Bund, dessen sagenhafter Reichtum gefährliche Feinde anlockt.Redaktion+Host: Insa Bethke/GEO EPOCHE Gast: Dr. Anja FriesSprecher: Peter KaempfeProduktion: Lia Wittfeld/RTL++++ Alle Rabattcodes und Infos zu unseren Werbepartnern finden Sie hier: https://linktr.ee/geoepoche +++ Sie möchten uns schreiben?

On this week's episode, the guys kick off the discussion with an engaging conversation that had actually begun prior to the recording, focusing on Cody's fascinating journey into the world of the Murderbot Diaries. They explore the intricate themes and character development found in the series, emphasizing their hopes and expectations regarding how the upcoming television adaptation will honor and faithfully represent the rich source material that has captivated readers. The conversation dives deep into the nuances of the original narrative, examining the complexities of the protagonist and the unique blend of humor and existential crisis that defines the series. Following this insightful discussion, Joe takes the spotlight to share exciting details about the newest installment in the Robert Langdon series from the renowned author Dan Brown. He elaborates on the plot, potential themes, and the implications of this new adventure for the beloved character, sparking a lively debate among the group about the evolution of Langdon's character throughout the series. As the episode progresses, Joe reveals some intriguing news about an upcoming film titled Mickey 17, which stars the talented Robert Pattinson. He explains that this film is based on a novel called Mickey7, written by Edward Ashton, and provides a brief overview of the book's premise, highlighting its unique take on science fiction and the moral dilemmas faced by its characters. The guys express their excitement about the film adaptation, discussing what they hope to see on screen and how it might differ from the original text. In a thrilling turn of events, Cody then uncovers an updated list of Stephen King adaptations set to make their debut on both large and small screens over the next year. The group delves into the various projects, analyzing which stories they are most eager to see brought to life and considering how these adaptations might resonate with both long-time fans of King's work and new audiences. They reflect on past adaptations, sharing their thoughts on what has worked well and what has fallen short in translating King's iconic storytelling to film and television. As the conversation unfolds, the enthusiasm in the room is palpable, with each member contributing their insights and opinions, creating a rich tapestry of discussion around literature and its adaptations.

Welcome to Day 2556 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – Paul's Lost Letters – I Dare You Not To Bore Me With The Bible. Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2556 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2556 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Today is the 41st lesson in our segment, Theology Thursday. Utilizing excerpts from a book titled: I Dare You Not To Bore Me With The Bible written by Hebrew Bible scholar and professor the late Dr. Michael S Heiser, we will invest a couple of years going through the entire Bible, exploring short Biblical lessons that you may not have received in Bible classes or Church. The Bible is a wonderful book. Its pages reveal the epic story of God's redemption of humankind and the long, bitter conflict against evil. Yet it's also a book that seems strange to us. While God's Word was written for us, it wasn't written to us. Today's lesson is: “Paul's Lost Letters.” Unless you've been on an extended vacation from popular culture over the last couple of years, you know there's been a lot of recent discussion about how we got the New Testament. Dan Brown's blockbuster novel The Da Vinci Code based its conspiratorial plot in part on the notion that other gospels had been eradicated by spiteful church authorities and an emperor openly partial to orthodoxy. The success of the novel prompted many churchgoers to ask whether or not all the books that should be included in the New Testament actually were. To be sure, Dan Brown took a lot of liberties with facts in his story. But what if we're not dealing with fiction? The New Testament itself tells us that there were books written by apostles that didn't make it into in the Bible. Surprised? Let's take a look. 1 Corinthians 5:9 In 1 Corinthians, Paul himself mentions an earlier letter he wrote to this same church: “I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people” (1 Cor 5:9). While some interpreters have argued that Paul was referring to the letter he was currently writing (1 Corinthians), most acknowledge that this explanation is weak. Taken at face value, 1 Corinthians 5:9 tells us that Paul had written to this church before—but that letter has not survived and thus is not part of the New Testament. Colossians 4:16 In Paul's letter to the church at Collosae, he says, “And when this letter has been read among you, have it also read in the church of the Laodiceans; and see that you also read the letter from Laodicea” (Col 4:16). What was this letter from Laodicea? What happened to it? The phrase “letter from Laodicea” is a literal translation of the Greek and suggests that the letter came from Laodicea. This is a bit misleading, though. The phrase does not necessarily mean that this letter was written by someone in Laodicea to Paul or to the Colossians. Colossians 4:16 tells us that letters to churches were circulated, and so it may be that this Laodicean letter was written by Paul and sent to the Christians at Colossae—like the Colossian letter was to be sent to the believers in Laodicea. Some scholars have speculated that this letter isn't actually missing. The region of Laodicea was also identified with the city of Ephesus, indicating that the letter from Laodicea may actually be the epistle to the...

Got some d-bag responses to share, then we see Dan Brown on tv.
