Astronomy Cast Ep. 774: How Does Bad Science Happen? By Fraser Cain & Dr. Pamela Gay Streamed live on Nov 8, 2025. Scientific expertise is under attack on all fronts with concerns coming from politicians and the public. While most of this is unwarranted and politically motivated, there can be germ of truth. Bad science does happen, but how? How is it that papers that very few believe still make it through peer review and to publication? Why do professors at prominent universities get quoted saying things that seem to be fiction? In this episode, we consider the case for letting potentially impossible things make it to publication. This show is supported through people like you on Patreon.com/AstronomyCast In this episode, we'd like to thank: Andrew Poelstra, BogieNet, Brian Cagle, Burry Gowen, David, David Rossetter, Ed, Gerhard Schwarzer, Jason Kwong, Jeanette Wink, Michael Purcell, Sergey Manouilov, Siggi Kemmler, Sérgio Sancevero

In this episode of our podcast we explored who is Monroe Beardsley, emotional healing, Scientific and philosophical critiques, and modern day applications. Some sub topics we talked about are; How do music, poetry, painting or drama affect our brains, and how art can be used in therapy...etc. To hear the rest join us and watch our episode 3 detailing all of our research.

• Exploding Insects – Autothysis Some ant and termite species literally blow themselves apart to defend their colony! This requires a coordinated system of enzymes, chemistry, triggers, adhesives, and control mechanisms, making it an impossible candidate for slow evolutionary development. • Cockatoos Using Human Drinking Fountains That's right. Listen to the show for more details on an impressive display of intelligence that challenges the “bird brain” stereotype and evolutionary assumptions about primate superiority. • Archaeopteryx: Still 100% Bird New analysis of a Chicago specimen shows fully formed feathers designed for flight, filling the aerodynamic gap evolutionists long claimed made flight “impossible.” Once again, a supposed “missing link” turns out to be just another bird. • Giant Vegetables & Pre-Flood Conditions Modern giant pumpkins and zucchinis are the result of mutations in inhibitor genes, not evolution. Their existence echoes fossil evidence of enormous pre-Flood plants and animals, consistent with higher oxygen, atmospheric pressure, and longer lifespans described in Genesis. • Dinosaur Hemoglobin Found Again Yet another discovery of hemoglobin in dinosaur fossils defies deep-time claims. Even generous decay estimates allow thousands, NOT MILLIONS of years. Evolutionists scramble for new “preservation theories,” but the simplest explanation remains: the fossils are young. • Neanderthals: Masters of Fire & Food Engineering Archaeologists have uncovered Ice Age hearths exceeding 600°C, revealing airflow control, fuel optimization, and consistent temperature regulation. A separate discovery of a bone-processing workshop shows Neanderthals intentionally extracting fat-rich broth, yummy! • New Human Blood Type: Guada Negative A recently identified blood type is incompatible with all others, making transfusions impossible.  • Human–Chimp DNA Myth Collapses As full genomic sequencing improves, the often-repeated “98% similarity” myth has fallen to about 85%, a vast gap representing millions of functional differences and rendering evolutionary timelines unworkable. • Animals Using Natural Medicines Chimps eat antiparasitic leaves, parrots consume detoxifying clay, elephants seek medicinal bark, and bees gather antimicrobial resins. • Biomimicry: Penguins Inspire Engineering A German auto company used AI to analyze penguin wing hydrodynamics, resulting in more efficient automotive fans. Once again, human engineering imitates God's designs. Sponsor This episode is sponsored by foam-knight.com, makers of high-quality foam swords, shields, and battle gear.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! What if everything we've believed about ghosts is rooted in misunderstanding? In this episode of The Grave Talks, paranormal researcher Aaron G. Thompson challenges long-held assumptions about hauntings and introduces a radically different framework for understanding the supernatural. Instead of demons, malevolent entities, or lost souls, Aaron proposes something far more complex — and far more fascinating. Through the lens of Echo Terrestrial Quantum Mechanics, he explores the possibility that spirits may be misunderstood energy forms acting within dimensions we barely comprehend. According to this theory, hauntings might not be intentional interactions at all, but natural energetic echoes, fluctuations, and overlaps between quantum layers of existence. Why do certain places remain active for centuries? Why do hauntings repeat? And could paranormal encounters be less about fear… and more about physics? Aaron walks us through the science, the patterns, and the evidence that shape his groundbreaking perspective. Whether you're a skeptic, a believer, or somewhere in between, this conversation may change the way you view the paranormal world. This is Part Two of our conversation. #ghosts #quantumparanormal #thegravetalks #paranormal #paranormalresearch #hauntings #supernaturaltheory #energyentities #supernatural #paranormalpodcast #echoquantumtheory #ghostscience Love real ghost stories?

On this episode of SPOT Radio, Charlie Webb, CPPL, breaks down five common mistakes medical device manufacturers make around equipment purchase, maintenance, and calibration. These gaps create significant process risk and are frequent root causes of failed seals in sterile barrier systems.Charlie draws on 30 years of experience in medical device packaging to explain how improper procurement choices, inconsistent maintenance schedules, and inadequate calibration practices undermine seal integrity and increase the likelihood of product recalls and patient risk. He outlines practical steps to tighten controls, improve documentation, and design validation protocols that reduce failure modes.Listen in for clear, actionable guidance on preventing seal failures, streamlining validation, and protecting patients from exposure to non‑sterile devices. Whether you manage packaging engineering, quality, or regulatory affairs, Charlie's insights will help your organisation avoid costly mistakes and strengthen your sterile barrier strategy.About Charlie Webb CPPL: Charlie Webb CPPL is the founder and President of Van der Stahl Scientific, a medical device packaging and testing machine provider and packaging testing and calibration laboratories.He is also a certified internal auditor and is the Quality Manager for Van der Stähl Scientific's demanding ISO/IEC 17025 Laboratory accreditation.

At least one in four girls suffers childhood sexual abuse. For example, the Department of Justice (DoJ) concluded Jeffery Epstein trafficked over 1,000 girls, some as young as 14. Nevertheless, six years after Epstein's reported suicide, the Trump Administration's 2026 budget proposes to entirely delete a subsection of federal law that requires DoJ's Office of Violence Against Women to be “a separate and distinct office” and proposes to cut the Office of Violence Against Women's budget by nearly 30%. Per the CDC's Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) study, launched over 25 yrs ago, at least 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 20 boys are sexually abused. Among numerous other sobering stats, ACEs-related health consequences cost the US an estimated $14.1 trillion dollars annually in direct medical spending and lost healthy-life years. Dr. Frank Putnam, a child and adolescent psychiatrist at the U. of North Carolina's Medical School who has spent his 35-year professional life investigating the effects of childhood sexual abuse on child development and adult outcomes, has recently completed “Old Before their Time” an autobiographical account of his research work and findings. In Dr. van der Klok's introduction to the book, he states childhood sexual abuse “embeds itself in a child's mind, body and behavior and is expressed across generations.” Deterrence “is the most powerful target for the prevention of mental illness and for reducing premature death from common illnesses.”Information regarding “Old Before Their Time” is at: https://www.amazon.com/Old-Before-Their-Time-Investigating/dp/1032974826.

7/8. The Western Safari, Sheridan's Irony, and the Scientific Ignorance Driving the Wolf Slaughter — Dan Flores— The mid-nineteenth-century American West became a safari destination for wealthy European nobility who engaged in serial, unjustified massacres of wildlife, meticulously recording kill counts as trophy tallies. Flores documents a historical irony: General Philip Sheridan, traditionally maligned as a villain, actually protested the systematic buffaloslaughter and subsequently protected Yellowstone fauna. Flores emphasizes that wolves were poisoned ubiquitously throughout this period due to unscientific Old World superstitions and profound ecological ignorance, reflecting medieval prejudices rather than empirical understanding of predator-prey dynamics and ecosystem function.

In this episode, Mark talks with Cynthia Passmore, who is a professor of science education at the University of California, Davis. They talk about the differences between the approach to modeling developed at ASU and UC Davis, which seem to be more and more similar as time goes by. They talk about how all of our understanding in scientific study is based on models, even if we do not specifically hold those up as "models" per se. We use mental models to explain the world around us and to better understand how and why certain interactions happen the way they do. They talk about modeling instruction and the Next Generation Science Standards and how modeling really gets students to do the thinking as scientists and make the connections between what we see and the explanations for what we see. They talk about Cynthia's new book, even get to talk about some of Cynthia's recent research on effective teaching using modeling methods in the high school biology classroom. Guest Cynthia Passmore Cynthia Passmore is currently a Professor specializing in science education in the University of California, Davis School of Education. She did her doctoral work at the University of Wisconsin, Madison and prior to that she was a high school science teacher. Her research focuses on the role of models and modeling in student learning, curriculum design and teacher professional development. She investigates model-based reasoning in a range of contexts and is particularly interested in understanding how the design of learning environments interacts with students' reasoning practices. She has been the principal investigator of several large grants and is the lead on a collaborative curriculum design project that has created a full-year high school biology course. A key practitioner publication is the edited volume: Helping Students Make Sense of the World Using Next Generation Science and Engineering Practices from NSTA Press. Highlights [2:44] Cynthia "I think the inclusion of modeling as a practice in the next generation Science standards has also brought a lot more people to the work of modeling than used to be the case." [3:25] Cynthia "Models are the functional unit of scientific thought." [7:51] Cynthia "The depiction is important. I'm not trying to say it's not, but if all we're doing is asking kids to reproduce representations and depictions of things, then we're losing the modeling practice, in my view."

Today, we'll be tackling the future of prostate cancer care. We'll be reflecting on what prostate cancer care means in practice, how the way we think about the disease is shifting, and must continue to shift in the years ahead. Scientific advances have transformed treatment in recent years, yet the lived reality of prostate cancer still extends far beyond the clinic. The disease reshapes daily life, and may leave men and their families grappling with difficult choices about how best to manage it.  Dr. Güneş Taylor is joined by three key voices at the centre of this story, following the prostate cancer journey from diagnosis through to long-term management, and asking how patients and clinicians can work together to re-think what patient-centred care could mean in the years to come.

After a long hiatus where we both saw grief counsellors over our fight about Popper's theory of content in the last C&R episode, we are back. And we're ready to play nice ... for about 30 seconds until Vaden admits that two sentences from Popper changed his mind about something Ben had arguing for literally years. But eventually putting those disagreements aside, we return to the subject at hand: The Conjectures and Refutations Series: Chapter 10: Truth, Rationality, and the Growth of Scientific Knowledge (Part II). Here all goes smoothly. Just kidding, we start fighting about content again almost immediately. Where are the guests to break us up when you need them. We discuss Why Vaden changed his mind about "all thought is problem solving" Something that rhymes with wero horship Is Popper sloppy when it comes to writing about probability and content Is all modern data science based on the wrong idea? (Hint: No) Popper's problem-focused view of scientific progress How much formalization is too much? The difference between high verisimilitude and high probability Why do we value simplicity in science? Historical examples of science progressing via theories with increasing content Quotes Consciousness, world 2, was presumably an evaluating and discerning consciousness, a problem-solving consciousness, right from the start. I have said of the animate part of the physical world 1 that all organisms are problem solvers. My basic assumption regarding world 2 is that this problem-solving activity of the animate part of world 1 resulted in the emergence of world 2, of the world of consciousness. But I do not mean by this that consciousness solves problems all the time, as I asserted of the organisms. On the contrary. The organisms are preoccupied with problem-solving day in, day out, but consciousness is not only concerned with the solving of problems, although that is its most important biological function. My hypothesis is that the original task of consciousness was to anticipate success and failure in problem-solving and to signal to the organism in the form of pleasure and pain whether it was on the right or wrong path to the solution of the problem. In Search of a Better World, p.17 (emphasis added) The criterion of potential satisfactoriness is thus testability, or improbability: only a highly testable or improbable theory is worth testing, and is actually (and not merely potentially) satisfactory if it withstands severe tests—especially those tests to which we could point as crucial for the theory before they were ever undertaken. - C&R, Chapter 10 Consequently there is little merit in formalizing and elaborating a deductive system (intended for use as an empirical science) beyond the requirements of the task of criticizing and testing it, and of comparing it critically with competitors. - C&R, Chapter 10 Admittedly, our expectations, and thus our theories, may precede, historically, even our problems. Yet science starts only with problems. Problems crop up especially when we are disappointed in our expectations, or when our theories involve us in difficulties, in contradictions; and these may arise either within a theory, or between two different theories, or as the result of a clash between our theories and our observations. - C&R, Chapter 10 Socials Follow us on Twitter at @IncrementsPod, @BennyChugg, @VadenMasrani Come join our discord server!

Early Photography's Scientific Reach: Lunar and Underwater Photography — Anika Burgess — Burgess explores early photography's critical scientific applications, noting that François Arago predicted the daguerreotype would enable detailed mapping of the lunar surface. Early astrophotographers encountered formidable technical challenges involving distance calculations, celestial motion, and insufficient ambient light. James Nasmyth controversially photographed plaster casts and molds of the lunar surface, which contemporary observers praised as scientifically truthful. Burgess also highlights Louis Boutan, who persistently developed practical underwater photography using pressurized hard-hat diving equipment, establishing a new scientific capability. 1865

PREVIEW — Svetlana Lokhova — The Atomic Spy Ring: Shamovski, Ovakimian, and Scientific Recruitment. Lokhova examines Soviet operatives Stanislav Shamovski and Gennady Ovakimian, who directed the espionage network stealing atomic weapons secrets. Ovakimian, a credentialed scientist, deliberately integrated himself into the American scientific community through published academic research and conference participation. His agents, including Shamovski, systematically recruited scientists and engineers from universities and government research institutes, who then reported operational intelligence up the chain through Ovakimian to Moscow Center. 1921

“Can you really be thankful when your heart is breaking?”In this powerful Thanksgiving episode of Female Voices: Life & Loss, Teresa and LaWayna open up about navigating grief during the holidays and how gratitude can coexist with pain. From personal stories of loss to a helicopter ride filled with fear and prayer, they share authentic perspectives on reframing, community, and starting small gratitude practices that help bring calm to an overwhelmed mind.Whether you're grieving someone you love, struggling financially, or just feeling disconnected heading into the holidays—this conversation will remind you that you're not alone, and you can hold grief and grace at the same time.Quotes worth remembering● “You can absolutely have gratitude and be grieving at the same time—we are complicated human beings.” – LaWayna ● “Sometimes instead of asking ‘What am I grateful for?' ask ‘What do I have?'” – Teresa● “When we slow down and breathe, even for two minutes, the body begins to restore.” – Teresa● “I told the Lord, help your little sad child today.” – LaWayna ● “Maybe start with the ungrateful list before the grateful one.” – LaWayna Topics Covered● Navigating grief during the holiday season● How gratitude affects our brain chemistry and cortisol levels● Different gratitude practices (journaling, prayer, spoken word, connection)● The power of community in healing (AA, friendships, families)● Reframing and slowing down to be present● Adventuring outside comfort zones as an act of livingKey Takeaways● You can hold both grief and gratitude at the same time. Healing doesn't require pretending you're okay.● Starting small helps: Even a 2-minute breathing or gratitude moment can help reduce stress.● There is no one right way to practice gratitude. Journaling, prayer, speaking, community—find what works for you.● Reframing can shift mental state. Sometimes “What do I have?” is easier than “What am I grateful for?”● Getting emotions out (even the negative ones) may help. Try writing an “ungrateful list” before moving into gratitude. Suggested Timestamps00:00 – Welcome & Thanksgiving intro02:13 – Acknowledging current struggles (financial, loss, food scarcity)05:04 – Josh's gratitude practice through AA community07:02 – Holding grief and gratitude together11:19 – Scientific impact of gratitude (dopamine, serotonin)14:25 – How grief floods the body with cortisol17:07 – Breathing practice and beginning with 2 minutes22:49 – Helicopter moment: prayer, fear, and reframing27:30 – “What do I have?” as a gratitude entry point28:00 – Ungrateful list exercise29:18 – Tool announcement for listeners30:21 – Thanksgiving photos & family traditions32:21 – Closing remarks & listener engagementMentions & Shoutouts● AA Support Group – demonstrating accountability and morning gratitude list.Episode Extras●

A new article in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences presents compelling evidence that Chinese researchers are playing an increasingly important role in international science collaboration nowadays, after analyzing nearly six million papers, as well as their continued momentum amid fierce competition with the United States. How should we interpret China's growing influence in global science? What has China done right to reach this point? How can China and the United States, the two largest powers in scientific research, coexist and collaborate to advance global scientific progress?

Have you ever stopped and wondered how you are aware that you are aware? What if consciousness isn’t something you have, but something you are? In this mind-expanding episode, we dive deep into one of humanity’s greatest mysteries: consciousness itself. For centuries, philosophers called it the hard problem—how does a physical brain create the inner movie of life? But today, neuroscience, quantum theory, and even AI are revealing astonishing clues about what consciousness might truly be, and it’s more extraordinary than we ever imagined. This episode reveals three groundbreaking discoveries that will transform how you see yourself and your place in the universe. Mapping the Mind: The Science of Awareness For years, scientists searched for one single place in the brain that creates consciousness. But what they found instead is even more fascinating. Consciousness doesn’t live in one location—it flows through an entire network. Using cutting-edge brain imaging like fMRI and MEG, researchers have identified what they call consciousness hotspots. These are tiny hubs that light up and connect across the brain whenever we’re awake, dreaming, or self-aware. It’s not one area doing the work—it’s how they communicate. Think of it like a symphony. Each neuron is a musician, each connection is a note. And when they play together in harmony, awareness emerges. It’s the music of your mind. Even more stunning, in recent studies, coma patients once thought unconscious showed the same flickers of synchronised activity. Signs of awareness where none were expected. Science is now mapping what philosophers have only felt: the bridge between matter and mind. The Information Highway: How Consciousness Flows Consciousness isn’t static—it’s movement, energy flowing through the brain’s communication networks. When different regions of the brain start syncing, especially through gamma and alpha waves, that’s when awareness seems to bloom. It’s not about which parts are active, but how information travels between them. And then there’s something called predictive coding. That’s the idea that your brain isn’t just reacting to reality—it’s predicting it. Every second, your mind is guessing what’s about to happen, painting your world from the inside out. What you see, feel, and hear is not pure reality. It’s your brain’s best prediction of it. That means consciousness isn’t a mirror reflecting the world. It’s a creative force shaping it. Beyond the Brain: The Edge of the Mystery Here’s where the science begins to sound a lot like spirituality. Some researchers are questioning whether consciousness even starts in the brain. The theory of panpsychism suggests that consciousness is a fundamental property of the universe—that everything from atoms to galaxies holds a spark of awareness. And quantum physics is hinting at the same thing: that the act of observation itself shapes reality. Even artificial intelligence is forcing us to ask new questions. If a machine could one day become self-aware, would it feel? Would it dream? Would it matter? Maybe consciousness isn’t something we have. Maybe it’s something we are. The ultimate golden nugget is you are the universe awakening. What happens when we finally decode consciousness? We might learn to awaken people from comas, heal trauma, or even connect mind to mind through technology. But the real transformation will be in how we see ourselves. Because the moment you realize consciousness isn’t confined to your brain, but is the very fabric of life itself, everything changes. You begin to see that you are not living in the universe—you are the universe becoming aware of itself. This isn’t just an episode—it’s an invitation to awaken to the mystery that’s looking through your eyes right now. Because consciousness isn’t something to understand, it’s something to awaken to.

Welcome to Season 5, Episode 47! We're huge fans of East West Players, and our guest this episode, Dom Magwili, has worked with them since 1974. If that's all he did, it would be an amazing career. However, Dom has also been an actor, director, educator, and author. His latest work is Scientific Dragons: The Adventure of Ensun Castle. It's an entertaining and thrilling adventure that mixes historical figures, key fictional characters, Filipino culture, and a healthy dose of imagination in a steampunk environment. Among the work he's created for stage and screen include Much Adobo About Nothing, A Jive Bomber's Christmas (which had a 10-year run at the Japanese American National Museum), and One Puka Puka Christmas. His first book was Legends from the First Hemisphere: The Infernal Promise.  In our conversation, Dom shares what inspired him to pursue creativity as a profession, his journey to being an author, some of the themes of Scientific Dragons, and more. To learn more about Dom, you can visit his website, follow him on Instagram @dmagwili, and, of course buy Scientific Dragons or The Infernal Promise.

In this episode, Dr Angela Puca unpacks one of the most fascinating questions in the study and practice of magic: how does magic actually work? Drawing on both historical and contemporary scholarship, she explores the six major explanatory models: the spirit, psychological, natural or energetic, information or cybernetic, sociological, and transcendent or mystical frameworks. Each reveals a different way magicians and scholars have tried to understand the mechanisms of ritual power, from relationships with spirits and manipulation of subtle forces to consciousness engineering and divine realisation. Whether you're a practitioner, scholar, or simply curious about how magic makes sense of the impossible, this episode will deepen your understanding of what really happens when magic works.CONNECT & SUPPORT

What if the key to transforming our entire life experience isn't found in changing our circumstances, but in cultivating gratitude? This powerful message explores how gratitude serves as a gateway to God's presence and a weapon against anxiety. Drawing from Philippians 4 and Psalm 100, we discover that gratitude isn't just polite words—it's a deliberate, humble recognition of God's goodness and the Giver behind every blessing. Scientific research confirms what Scripture has taught all along: deliberately writing down things we're grateful for reduces depression by up to 25%, increases optimism, improves sleep, and literally changes our brain chemistry. But more importantly, gratitude opens the gates to God's presence and allows us to experience the peace that surpasses understanding, even in the midst of trials. The Apostle Paul, writing from a prison cell, commanded believers to rejoice always and present their requests with thanksgiving—not because circumstances were perfect, but because God is faithful. When we remember God's benefits—His love, faithfulness, mercy, grace, holiness, sovereignty, wisdom, power, presence, and unchanging nature—we realize there's not one more good thing He needs to do for us and He is still good. Everything beyond our salvation is overflow. Gratitude transforms us from the inside out, helping us see our past properly diminished and our future magnified by God's promises. It's the vocabulary of heaven, and when we speak it, we experience heaven's reality here on earth.

He outlines the Mises–Rothbard view: economics as praxeology (logic of action), closer to geometry than laboratory testing, with core insights on opportunity cost, incentives, prices, money, and policy constraints that don't depend on forecasting the exact timing of crashes.Understanding Money Mechanics: Mises.org/HAP526aBob's Mises Daily Article, "Economists Can Be Hilarious": Mises.org/HAP526bHoppe's Economic Science and the Austrian Method: Mises.org/HAP526cLessons for the Young Economist: Mises.org/HAP526dThe Mises Institute is giving away 100,000 copies of Hayek for the 21st Century.

2. The Islamic World's Scientific Contributions and Mars in Medieval Thought. Matthew Shindell highlights an intellectual renaissance in the Islamic world—specifically Baghdad and Damascus—between the 10th and 16th centuries, which was vital while Europe was experiencing its "Dark Ages." Through translation and original work, Islamic scholars built upon ancient knowledge, fueling a great intellectual transformation. In the medieval period, Mars was widely associated with vices like war, violence, and disaster. However, the renowned poet Dante Alighieri, in The Divine Comedy, transformed this negative association into the virtue of fortitude. Since Dante was charting a path through the heavens, where all planets had to represent virtues, Mars was designated as the sphere housing martyrs and those who died in holy war, becoming a highly important symbol for Christian Europe. 1962
