We start this episode off with a few interesting news items that
lead to another short discussion about the Elastic Universe
Hypothesis and how it might be tested via an interesting anomaly
that happens only beneath a full solar eclipse. And also how
archaeologists are dumb because for like a hundred years they've
been trying to study ancient astronomical observatories
during
the daytime.
We then move on to the subject of the Black Knight Satellite at the
request of a listener(thanks J), which means we get into Long Delay
Echoes, ancient space probes, Phillip K. Dick and V.A.L.I.S.
After that, we talk about a strange correlation between gigantic
pyramids in Mexico, China, and Indonesia, then finish up with a
brief discussion of a very mysterious place in China known as the
Longyou Grottoes.

Gravitic Lensing
(theoretically) caused by the gravity of a galaxy cluster in the
foreground, warping the light of galaxies behind it into circular
arcs(btw the very bright object on the upper right is a star in our
own galaxy) |

Some believe
this photo taken from the space shuttle captured the elusive Black
Knight |

PHAs(Potentially Hazardous Asteroids)
This map does not include comets. We're all gonna die. |
|
Teotihuacan |
|
It's pretty
big.....I guess |
|
Why was this
place encased in Mica?? |
|
Volcanic
mountain near Teotihuacan |
|
Pyramids in
China |
|
They refer to
them as "mausoleums" |
|
They're totally
not pyramids. See the trees? Hills. Just hills. |
|
Pyramid of the
first Chinese emperor. The Terracotta warriors are nearby. |
|
The top of
Gunung Padang in Indonesia |
|
The top level
was made using basalt columns that form naturally when lava hits
seawater |
|
The top level is
about 2500 years old. The lowest levels are 30,000 years old. |
|
The Terracotta
Warriors |
|
This is just a
few of them....there are over 6,000 in total, plus horses |
|
That's a lotta
clay mmkay |
|
Note each has
very unique individual features |
|
One of the
Longyou Grottoes. The light is coming through an opening that was
the original pool on the surface |
|
Who did this?
Where did all the rock go? Where are the fish? |
|
That
would seem like a "bottomless" pool |
|
Note the
extremely uniform marks on the walls |
|
Each grotto is
many levels deep |
|
The rooms are
cavernous and huge |
|
A close-up of
the marks on the walls. Toothpicks and dedication? Or advanced
machinery? |
