In this episode, we continue our conversation with Matt Herrero, Joel Chapman, Weston Gaylord, Ken Savage, and Jessia Hoffman about their musical GRAVITY: A Newtonian Musical. When physics prodigy Sophie is accidentally catapulted back in time, her meet-cute with 23 year-old Isaac Newton prevents him from discovering gravity—trapping Sophie in 1666. To return home, Sophie must restore history and navigate the Enlightenment, where Natural Philosophers are the pop stars of their day. Along the way, she encounters historical luminaries such as up-and-comer Edmond Halley, Isaac's rival Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz, and the unknown author Margaret Cavendish, who is embroiled in her own quest for fame and scientific recognition.  GRAVITY is a hilarious romantic comedy, smashing together madcap time travel mayhem and delightfully remixed history. This episode features the songs, “Let Us Enlighten You”, performed by Marcus Jamal Paige, Dave Abrams, Nathaniel Rothrock, and Weston Gaylord, as well as “In My Own Time” performed by Taylor Iman Jones and Matt Herrero.

In episode 503 of The Astrology Podcast astrologer Rod Chang joins me to discuss the long and fascinating history of comets in astrology, how astrologers viewed them as omens in ancient times, and creating a new foundation for interpreting them today. While comets are a notable astronomical phenomenon and are famous in legends from ancient times as powerful omens, there has been very little discussion about their meaning or use in modern astrology. Part of the reason for this is that they appear so infrequently, are difficult to calculate, and are not included in most astrology software, which has led to them being largely overlooked by contemporary astrologers. We begin the discussion by exploring the long history of comets in astrology, noting the contrast between the Western tradition and the Chinese tradition. In the West, research into comets was set back for centuries by Aristotle's mistaken belief that they were merely atmospheric phenomena. In the Chinese tradition, however, comets were meticulously documented for thousands of years, where they were often referred to as "broom stars" that could sweep away the old government or indicate the need for reform. This eventually led to a rich history of astrological interpretation, which we are only now beginning to recover and understand. During the course of the episode we talk about what comets are from an astronomical perspective, as well as how their erratic and unpredictable nature became a key part of their astrological interpretation. Traditionally comets were interpreted as omens that signified major disruptions, the death of prominent people, and important turning points in history. Their meaning was often derived from their visual appearance, such as their color or the shape of their tail. While often viewed as negative omens that coincided with natural disasters or the death of rulers, there are also instances where they were interpreted positively. Towards the end of the episode we discuss how contemporary astrologers are now in a much better position to study comets, with new tools that allow us to calculate their positions and go back and research what was happening in the world when major comets appeared in the past. This is a large part of the focus of Rod's new book titled Comets in Astrology, where he identifies some of the most important "Great Comets" in history and documents the events that coincided with their appearance. We hope that this discussion provides a good foundation for a subject that will become an exciting new area of research in astrology in the years to come.

During colonial North America, a bright, icy, small Solar System body passed by Earth and was observed by English astronomer Edmond Halley (1656-1742). Its tail was over 96 million miles long of dust and gas blown out from the coma surrounding its nucleus. Halley's calculations predicted the comet would return in 1758, and it did. The Comet has been observed throughout history, including in North America. Halley noticed that comets appeared in 1531, 1607, and 1682, all about 76 years apart. He used Isaac Newton's law of gravity to calculate the orbits of the comets. He concluded that these comets were actually the same comet returning on a long elliptical orbit around the sun.

Astronomy is just like any other human endeavor. It can stir up controversy, hurt feelings – and feuds. One of its most famous feuds involved some of the giants of science – Isaac Newton, who formulated laws of gravity and motion, and Edmond Halley, the namesake of Comet Halley. Newton and Halley were colleagues of John Flamsteed, Britain’s first astronomer royal and the founder of the Royal Observatory. Flamsteed had compiled a catalog of more than 2,000 stars. It included precise positions of the stars along with other details. He showed the catalog to Halley and Newton. They were impressed, and they wanted to use its findings in their own research. So they encouraged Flamsteed to publish the catalog. But Flamsteed refused. Halley and Newton then went behind his back. With the support of the Royal Society, they published 400 copes of it, in 1712. Flamsteed was furious. He bought up all the copies he could find – and burned them. And he waged a feud against Halley and Newton for the rest of his life. The catalog wasn’t officially published until six years after his death. The first version included new designations for the stars – a number followed by the name of the constellation. One of those designations is 32 Leonis. The star is better known as Regulus – the brightest star of Leo. And it’s especially easy to spot tonight. It’s above the Moon as they climb into good view, around 9 or 9:30.

Hollow Earth – Part One Episode Description: In Part 1 of this two-part deep dive, This Podcast is a Secret explores the wild world of Hollow Earth theory. Is the Earth solid, or is there something more mysterious lurking below us? We'll trace the origins of this bizarre idea, starting with ancient mythology and religious texts before moving into the "scientific" theories of early thinkers like Edmond Halley and John Cleves Symmes Jr. You'll also hear about the strange, larger-than-life characters who dedicated their lives to proving the Earth is hollow — some of them with some pretty laughable results. This episode sets the stage for even wilder claims in Part 2. Episode Highlights: Origins of the Hollow Earth Theory — From ancient myths like the Greek underworld to Tibetan tales of Agartha. Edmond Halley's Scientific Proposal — How a respected astronomer's theory of concentric inner spheres kicked off centuries of speculation. John Cleves Symmes Jr. — The man who popularized the idea of "Symmes Holes" at the poles and tried to launch an expedition to find them. Funny Characters and Wild Stories — Meet the true believers and wild eccentrics who dedicated their lives to proving Hollow Earth is real. Government Secrets? — We introduce the idea of government cover-ups and why some believe there's more to Antarctica than just penguins. Stay Tuned for Part 2! In Part 2, we'll take things up a notch. Giants, dinosaurs, and underground civilizations are all on the table, and we'll explore modern claims, bizarre expeditions, and the wildest theories Hollow Earth has to offer.

On this episode Matt is joined by guest cohost Eddie “the Axe” Jefferson (from The BloodyBits Horror Show) to search for holes at the poles and talk all about the Hollow Earth Theory.The discussion begins with a quick stop in 18th century England to blame infamous man-turned-comet Edmond Halley for speculating that the Earth could be hollow (it's not, by the way) — but like all things, the crazy doesn't really get going until we end up in the United States during the 1800's.It's here that we meet a man who successfully petitions the government for funds to find the so-called “holes at the poles”, but are his motives truly noble or is he just looking to get away from his family?And what of Cyrus Reed Teed?  How did he come to believe that we actually live within the hollow Earth with a battery operated sun while the rest of the universe is made of rock?  Maybe repeatedly electrocuting himself into an unconscious state had something to do with it…Finally, we can't let the 20th century go unscathed because it's there we learn about Richard Shaver's mystery (spoiler alert: it's pretty dark) and the all you can eat buffet of crazy that is the Cryptoterrestrial Hypothesis.Settle in with a disappointing chocolate Easter bunny to snack on and enjoy this wild episode!Support the Show."Mighty Peculiar Theme" by Doug Wortel Our Linktree: linktr.ee/themightypeculiarOur Spreadshirt Merchhttps://the-mighty-peculiar.myspreadshop.com/

Explore the history and theories surrounding the Hollow Earth concept in this episode. From its origins in ancient mythology to its evolution into modern speculative fiction, this fascinating idea suggests our planet may be more than just a solid sphere. The Hollow Earth theory traces back to ancient cultures, where myths and legends spoke of underground realms inhabited by mysterious creatures and advanced civilizations. The concept gained a foothold in the early modern era with the works of Edmond Halley, the renowned astronomer who proposed in the late 17th century that Earth might consist of a hollow shell with a central sun. His theory suggested that this inner world could be accessed through polar openings. Although Halley's ideas were largely dismissed by his contemporaries, they inspired further exploration. In the 19th century, John Cleves Symmes Jr. expanded on Halley's hypothesis. Symmes fervently believed in the existence of a habitable inner Earth and campaigned for an expedition to find these entrances at the North and South Poles. Though his proposals were never realized, Symmes' theories captured the public imagination and influenced subsequent literature and exploration. Jules Verne's 1864 novel, "Journey to the Center of the Earth," brought the Hollow Earth theory into the realm of popular fiction. Verne's adventure story, featuring a subterranean world teeming with prehistoric life and geological wonders, captivated readers and cemented the theory in popular culture. As the 20th century progressed, Hollow Earth theories evolved, blending with new ideas about science and exploration. Some proponents suggested that advanced civilizations or extraterrestrial beings might reside within the Earth, hidden from the surface world. These ideas found a niche in science fiction and conspiracy theories, further blurring the line between fact and fantasy. The boys also examine contemporary perspectives on the Hollow Earth theory. While modern science firmly supports the solid structure of our planet, the enduring allure of hidden realms beneath our feet continues to inspire curiosity and creative exploration. From movies and video games to pseudoscientific claims, the Hollow Earth theory remains a captivating topic that challenges our understanding of the world.

Be careful what you say — a single phrase can define a legacy. Consider Frances Baily. He served four terms as president of the Royal Astronomical Society and compiled some of the most important star catalogs in history. But he's best known for five little words: “like a string of beads.” Baily was born 250 years ago today, in England. As a young man, he traveled to the wilds of North America, then joined the London Stock Exchange. He was especially good at the mathematical side of things, compiling guides about annuities and life insurance. He made a fortune, then retired in 1825 to spend all of his time on astronomy. Baily had already helped establish the forerunner of the royal society. He used his skills from his days in business to compile star catalogs — work that required a lot of tedious calculations. One of them was the leading publication of its time. In 1836, Baily watched a solar eclipse from Scotland. Just before the Sun vanished, he noticed little points of light around the edge of the Moon. Edmond Halley had seen the same thing more than a century earlier. Halley even explained those points: they're sunlight shining through gaps between lunar mountains and craters. To his fellow astronomers, Baily described them as “a row of lucid points, like a string of beads.” So today, the points are known as “Baily's beads” — insuring a bit of immortality for an insurance expert-turned-astronomer.

The Great North American Eclipse is coming up on Monday. The Moon will briefly cover the Sun. That will turn day to night along a narrow path across Mexico, the United States, and Canada. The timing of the eclipse is known down to the second, and has been for decades. And today, astronomers can predict eclipses far into the future. But making such predictions isn't easy. It requires a detailed knowledge of the Moon's orbit around Earth, Earth's orbit around the Sun, and even the shapes of Earth and the Moon. People tried to predict eclipses for a long time. Just when they first succeeded is unclear. There's little doubt that people have been predicting lunar eclipses for centuries. But lunar eclipses are easier to predict. Earth's shadow is dozens of times bigger than the Moon's, so you don't need to be quite as precise to get it right. There are stories that the Chinese were predicting solar eclipses more than 4,000 years ago, but no confirmation. An eclipse in 585 BC that stopped a war supposedly was predicted by a Greek scientist, but many modern-day scientists doubt that. The first confirmed prediction was made by Edmond Halley, using the new laws of gravity devised by Isaac Newton. He forecast that an eclipse would cross England on May 3rd, 1715. And he was right. So the eclipse is known as Halley's Eclipse — honoring the prediction of an astronomical spectacle. More about eclipses tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield

The most-often-observed of all comets should be ready to head back our way. Calculations of its orbit say it should be farthest from the Sun today — more than three billion miles away. That means it'll start its plunge back toward the Sun. It'll take a while to get here, though — it won't get closest to the Sun until 2061. The first confirmed sighting of Halley's Comet came in 240 B.C. The comet is a ball of ice and rock a few miles across. When it approaches the Sun, it sprouts a long, bright tail. Halley orbits the Sun once every 74 to 79 years. It's easily pushed around by the gravity of Jupiter and Saturn, so no two orbits are the same. Halley was the first comet that was known to periodically return to view. British astronomer Edmond Halley used Isaac Newton's laws of gravity to compare the appearances of several comets over the centuries. He discovered that they were repeat appearances of the same comet. Halley calculated that it would return to view in 1758. When it did, the comet was named in his honor. Comet Halley was last visible in Earth's night sky in 1986. It was a so-so appearance. But some of its visits have been spectacular. In 1910, it caused widespread fear when astronomers reported that Earth would pass through its tail. People bought bogus “comet pills” to protect themselves from its influence. But there was no danger at all — only a beautiful display in the night sky.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

Reddit Explains Conspiracy & the Unknown

Hollow Earth is a concept proposing that the planet Earth is entirely hollow, or contains a substantial interior space. Notably suggested by Edmond Halley in 1692 conjectured that the Earth might consist of a hollow shell about 800 Kilometers thick.Submit your stories: popmediaagency@gmail.com Get 55% off your Babbel subscription at babbel.com/popOur Instagram page: @reddit_explains

The financial revolution in Europe was an outgrowth of the scientific revolution, and the greatest minds of the time were studying, commenting on, and even participating in the emerging world of finance. Then came the 1720 South Sea Bubble and the financial crisis that followed.Thomas Levenson is a Professor of Science Writing at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is also an author, and his latest book is titled Money for Nothing: The Scientists, Fraudsters, and Corrupt Politicians Who Reinvented Money, Panicked a Nation, and Made.Thomas and Greg discuss the circumstances of the South Sea Bubble and how it connected to famous minds like Isaac Newton and Edmond Halley. They relate the financial crisis to other bubbles, like the 2007-2008 financial crisis. Thomas draws out the fascinating parts of what happened with the South Sea Bubble and what lessons can be learned from it and applied to today's financial markets.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Insights on the role of innovation and government purpose in bubbles33:51: The point of the bubble is that at the core of the bubble was a really good idea that actually served the government's purposes. In fact, served the government's purposes so well that one of the reasons you don't get joint stock companies going forward and in particular, you don't allow private companies to have access to the bond markets, the debt market, in the same way that the government has, is because the government wants to make sure it essentially has a monopoly on that form of finance so that it can continue executing its purposes. And you don't see a private bond market emerging, at least in Britain, until the second quarter of the 19th century.You can have truth in mathematics29:02: Mathematics is this sure and certain science. You can have truth in mathematics... The best that physics can be is demonstrated, and there's a difference. And so, if the mathematics work out, then, of course, this is a safe, sound, and perfectly acceptable way to spend your money until it isn't. So there's a rhetoric in the use of mathematical arguments that shouldn't be ignored. It was present in the 1720s bubble and in that era, and it was very much present recently.Humanities teach you to think about the future in ways that are simply useful01:01:24: If you try to train for the present, what you're doing is making sure that the future is going to catch you by surprise. And one of the things that the humanities do is teach you to think about the future in ways that are more flexible, more interesting, and, dare I say it, pragmatically, simply useful.A perspective on continuous evolution and profound shifts13:29: I see events as a continuous flow rather than as sudden, momentary revolutionary breakthroughs. But if ever there was a profoundly changing, rapidly changing sort of thing, you can experience it in your own lifetime.

How the 1910 Return of Halley's Comet (Almost) Destroyed Civilization

Halley's Comet visits the earth every seventy-five years. Since the dawn of civilization, humans had believed comets were evil portents. In 1705, Edmond Halley liberated humanity from these primordial superstitions (or so it was thought), proving that Newtonian mechanics rather than the will of the gods brought comets into our celestial neighborhood. Despite this scientific advance, when Halley's Comet returned in 1910 and astronomers announced that our planet would pass through its poisonous tail, newspapers gleefully provoked a global hysteria that unfolded with tragic consequences. In “Comet Madness: How the 1910 Return of Halley's Comet (Almost) Destroyed Civilization,” Richard J. Goodrich examines the 1910 appearance of Halley's Comet and the ensuing frenzy sparked by media manipulation, bogus science, and outright deception. The result is a fascinating and illuminating narrative history that underscores how we behave in the face of potential calamity – then and now. As the comet neared Earth, scientists and journalists alike scrambled to get the story straight as citizens the world over panicked. Popular astronomer Camille Flammarion attempted to allay fears in a newspaper article, but the media ignored his true position that passage would be harmless; weather prophet Irl Hicks, publisher of an annual, pseudo-scientific almanac, announced that the comet would disrupt the world's weather; religious leaders thumbed the Bible's Book of Revelation and wondered if the comet presaged the apocalypse. Newspapers, confident that there was gold in these alternate theories, gave every crackpot a megaphone, increasing circulation and stoking international hysteria. As a result, workmen shelved their tools, farmers refused to plant crops they would never harvest, and formerly reliable people stopped paying their creditors. More opportunistic citizens opened “comet insurance” plans. Others suffered mental breakdowns, and some took their own lives. We will see how humans confront the unknown, how scientists learn about the world we inhabit, and how certain people—from outright hucksters to opportunistic journalists—harness fear to produce a profit.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3101278/advertisement

ALIENS BUILT OUR MOON - HOLLOW MOON DOCUMENTARY The Hollow Moon hypothesis and the closely related Spaceship Moon hypothesis propose that Earth's Moon is either wholly hollow or otherwise contains a substantial interior space. No scientific evidence exists to support the idea; seismic observations and other data collected since spacecraft began to orbit or land on the Moon indicate that it has a thin crust, extensive mantle and small, dense core, although overall it is much less dense than Earth.The first publication to mention a hollow Moon was H. G. Wells' 1901 novel The First Men in the Moon. In 1970, two Soviet authors published a short piece in the popular press speculating that the Moon might be "the Creation of Alien Intelligence". Since the late 1970s, the hypothesis has been endorsed by conspiracy theorists like Jim Marrs and David Icke.he Hollow Moon hypothesis is the suggestion that the Moon is hollow, usually as a product of an alien civilization.[1][2] It is often called the Spaceship Moon hypothesis[1][2] and often corresponds with beliefs in UFOs or ancient astronauts.[2][3]The suggestion of a hollow moon first appeared in science fiction, when H. G. Wells wrote about a hollow moon in his 1901 book The First Men in the Moon.[1][4] The concept of hollow planets was not new; The first discussion of a Hollow Earth was by scientist Edmond Halley in 1692.[5][6] Wells borrowed from earlier fictional works that described a hollow Earth, such as the 1741 novel Niels Klim's Underground Travels by Ludvig Holberg.[7]In 1920, fringe author Marshall B. Gardner cited Wells's speculation of a Hollow Moon as support of the Hollow Earth theory.[8]Both Hollow Moon and Hollow Earth are now considered to be a fringe theories or conspiracy theories.[9][1][10][11] The concept of the Moon as a spaceship is often mentioned as one of David Icke's beliefs.[10][12][13]Claims and rebuttalsDensityThe fact that the Moon is less dense than the Earth is advanced as support for it to be hollow. The moon's mean density is 3.3 g/cm3, whereas the Earth's is 5.5 g/cm3.[14] One explanation of this discrepancy is that the moon may have been formed by a giant impact which ejected some of the early Earth's upper crust into its orbit.[4][15] The Earth's upper mantle and crust are less dense than its core.[16]The Moon rang like a bellBetween 1969 and 1977, seismometers installed on the Moon by the Apollo missions recorded moonquakes. The Moon was described as "ringing like a bell" during some of those quakes, specifically the shallow ones.[17] This phrase was brought to popular attention in March 1970[1] in an article in Popular Science.[18]On November 20, 1969, Apollo 12 deliberately crashed the Ascent Stage of its Lunar Module onto the Moon's surface; NASA reported that the Moon rang 'like a bell' for almost an hour, leading to arguments that it must be hollow like a bell.[1] Lunar seismology experiments since then have shown that the lunar body has shallow moonquakes that act differently from quakes on Earth, due to differences in texture, type and density of the planetary strata, but there is no evidence of any large empty space inside the body.[17]Vasin-Shcherbakov "spaceship" conjectureSpeculative cutaway model of a Spaceship MoonIn 1970, Michael Vasin and Alexander Shcherbakov, of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, advanced a hypothesis that the Moon is a spaceship created by unknown beings.[2] The article was entitled "Is the Moon the Creation of Alien Intelligence?" and was published in Sputnik,[10] the Soviet equivalent of Reader's Digest.[1][19] The Vasin-Shcerbakov hypothesis was reported in the West that same year.[20]Their hypothesis relies heavily on the suggestion that large lunar craters, generally assumed to be formed from meteor impact, are generally too shallow and have flat or even convex bottoms. They hypothesized that small meteors are making a cup-shaped depression in the rocky surface of the moon while the larger meteors are drilling through a rocky layer and hitting an armoured hull underneath.[14]The authors reference earlier speculation by astrophysicist Iosif Shklovsky, who suggested that the Martian moon Phobos was an artificial satellite and hollow; this has since been shown not to be the case. Sceptical author Jason Colavito points out that all of their evidence is circumstantial, and that, in the 1960s, the atheistic Soviet Union promoted the ancient astronaut concept in an attempt to undermine the West's faith in religion.[2]"Perfect" solar eclipsesIn 1965, author Isaac Asimov observed: "What makes a total eclipse so remarkable is the sheer astronomical accident that the Moon fits so snugly over the Sun. The Moon is just large enough to cover the Sun completely (at times) so that a temporary night falls and the stars spring out. [...] The Sun's greater distance makes up for its greater size and the result is that the Moon and the Sun appear to be equal in size. [...] There is no astronomical reason why Moon and Sun should fit so well. It is the sheerest of coincidence, and only the Earth among all the planets is blessed in this fashion."[21]Since the 1970s, conspiracy theorists have cited Asimov's observations on solar eclipses as evidence of the Moon's artificiality.[22][23] Mainstream astronomers reject this interpretation. They note that the angular diameters of Sun and Moon vary by several percent over time and do not actually "perfectly" match during eclipses.[24] Nor is Earth the only planet with such a satellite: Saturn's moon Prometheus has roughly the same angular diameter as the Sun when viewed from Saturn.[24]Modernly, some scholars have claimed that "the conditions required for perfect solar eclipses are the same conditions generally acknowledged to be necessary for intelligent life to emerge"; If so, the Moon's size and orbit might be best explained by the weak anthropic principle.[24][25][26]

The son of a yeoman, he was raised by his grandmother. He was educated at Cambridge University (1661–65), where he discovered the work of René Descartes. His experiments passing sunlight through a prism led to the discovery of the heterogeneous, corpuscular nature of white light and laid the foundation of physical optics. He built the first reflecting telescope in 1668 and became a professor of mathematics at Cambridge in 1669. He worked out the fundamentals of calculus, though this work went unpublished for more than 30 years. His most famous publication, Principia Mathematica (1687), grew out of correspondence with Edmond Halley. Describing his works on the laws of motion (see Newton's laws of motion), orbital dynamics, tidal theory, and the theory of universal gravitation, it is regarded as the seminal work of modern science. He was elected president of the Royal Society of London in 1703 and became the first scientist ever to be knighted in 1705. During his career he engaged in heated arguments with several of his colleagues, including Robert Hooke (over authorship of the inverse square relation of gravitation) and G.W. Leibniz (over the authorship of calculus). The battle with Leibniz dominated the last 25 years of his life; it is now well established that Newton developed calculus first, but that Leibniz was the first to publish on the subject. Newton is regarded as one of the greatest scientists of all time.From https://www.britannica.com/summary/Isaac-Newton. For more information about Isaac Newton:“Isaac Newton”: https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/isaac-newton-who-he-was-why-apples-are-falling“The Truth About Isaac Newton's Productive Plague”: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/the-truth-about-isaac-newtons-productive-plague“Isaac Newton”: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/newton/

England's earliest chair of mathematics was that of Gresham College, founded in 1597, but who came next? The earliest University-based mathematics professorship was Oxford's Savilian Chair of Geometry, founded in 1619. This illustrated lecture outlines the 400-year history of this Chair, from its beginnings to the present day, and features such figures as Henry Briggs, John Wallis, Edmond Halley, James Joseph Sylvester and G. H. Hardy.A lecture by Robin WilsonThe transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/savilian-professorsGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.

»Živel imenitni in učeni gospod Janez Vajkard Valvasor, baron Bogenšperški, Kraljeva družba te lepo pozdravlja.« S temi besedami je pred dobrimi tristo leti svoje pismo kranjskemu učenjaku začel slavni angleški astronom Edmond Halley, ki je le nekaj let pred tem Isaaca Newtona spodbudil, da je napisal Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, eno najpomembnejših knjig v vsej zgodovini znanosti. -- Z vašo podporo pripovedujemo zgodbe o znanosti na zanimiv in razumljiv način : kvarkadabra.net/podpri/ --

This time, we're taking a bite sized look at the Monster Verse's latest offering in Godzilla vs Kong and along the way we ask what was the point of Mecha Godzilla, why is Hollow Earth now so important to the plot and where does the Monster Verse go from here? Let's dive in…. Cast & Crew • Directed by Adam Wingard: He had previously horror films such as You're Next, Blair Witch and the Netflix adaptation of Death Note. He was announced as the director of this film in 2017 prior to the release of Godzila: King of the Monsters. While the director of that film, Michael Dougherty, did not direct this film, he did help to develop the story and even receives a credit for his work. • Starring Alexander Skarsgard as Dr. Nathan Lind: The eldest son of legendary actor Stellan Skarsgard, Alexander has managed to find himself in compelling yet entertaining films for the past decade beginning with Battleship and The Legend of Tarzan as well as shows like True Blood and The Stand o Rebecca Hall as Dr. Ilene Andrews: She rose to prominence following appearances in films like The Prestige, The Town and Iron Man 3 and really helps to round out the cast o Brian Tyree Henry as Bernie Hayes: Henry is approaching superstar status as he has appeared in films like Child's Play, Widows, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Joker. He is set to star in the MCU's latest ensemble film The Eternals as he's slated to portray the first gay superhero in that film series • Also Starring: o Shun Oguri as Ren Serizawa o Eiza Gonzalez as Maia Simmons o Julian Dennison as Josh Valentine o Lance Reddick as Guillerman (Most of his scenes ultimately ended up on the cutting room floor) o Demian Bichir as Walter Simmons • Reprising their roles from King of the Monsters o Kyle Chandler as Dr. Mark Russell o Millie Bobby Brown as Madison Russell o Zhang Ziyi was also set to reprise her role but her role was cut out of the film during editing The Creation of the Monster Verse It seems that creating film universes is the newest trend and while it's not advised to come at the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Monster Verse has done a good job of holding their own in terms of the critical reception and box office returns. The Monster Verse wasn't originally envisioned to become the franchise it eventually became, the reboot of Godzilla directed by Gareth Edwards in 2014 was released to major box office numbers as well as some of the most positive reception for a film that year. During that same year, Legendary Pictures had announced they had acquired the rights to the Mothra, Rodan and King Ghidorah characters as well as the film rights to King Kong. Following the success of Godzilla and the acquisitions of its adversaries, it seemed inevitable that we would eventually see the two Titans clash on screen. Kong did receive a sort of reboot for that franchise in 2017 as Kong: Skull Island was released to similar fanfare that accompanied Godzilla. Godzilla vs Kong was originally announced in October 2015 for a 2020 release which gave Legendary Pictures plenty of time to build their universe with the only other release being Godzilla: King of the Monsters during that time. Legendary also released Pacific Rim: Uprising but this film is not considered to be part of the Monster Verse. In addition to these films, an anime series was announced in January 2021 that would be set on Skull Island and tell stories of shipwrecked characters during their time on the island. The Existence of Hollow Earth While briefly mentioned during previous films in the Monster Verse, Hollow Earth plays a much more prominent role in Godzilla vs Kong as we see that it's how Godzilla was able to navigate the globe quickly and explain the odd climate and creatures that live on Skull Island. The idea of Hollow Earth comes from the year 1692 as Edmond Halley theorized that the Earth is entirely hollow or contains a large space and if the name Halley sounds familiar,

The Machine Conspiracies & The Unexplained

The Hollow Earth is a concept proposing that the planet Earth is entirely hollow or contains a substantial interior space. Notably suggested by Edmond Halley in the late 17th century, the notion was disproved, first tentatively by Pierre Bouguer in 1740, then definitively by Charles Hutton in his Schiehallion experiment around 1774.It was still occasionally defended through the mid-19th century, notably by John Cleves Symmes Jr. and Jeremiah N. Reynolds, but by this time it was part of popular pseudoscience and no longer a scientifically viable hypothesis.
