Harry hosts Nick Sledge, founder of the Catholic Manhood social media site. Think of it as two young redneck fathers discussing Aristotle, Aquinas, architecture, and working to help get their families to heaven.

Rafe goes solo from a secret remote location (and apologizes for the sound quality) and discusses the grand cathedral in Strasbourg, its square, its facade, its masses, and its restaurants.
Are we building things today that will cause generations a thousand years from now to gather and bask in their glory?

Harry and Rafe conclude the discussion around coming to understand the nature of light. In this episode they discuss some of the consequences of Einstein's Special Relativity and, in particular, how it implies that a clock moving very very fast appears, to a stationary observer, to be running slow.

Harry and Rafe continue the discussion around coming to understand the nature of light. In this episode they discuss the concepts of Einstein's Special Relativity, the basic concept that ALL laws of physics must be consistent in any inertial reference frame.
The outcome of this statement is that the measurement of the speed of light (c=3x10^8 m/s) is the same for ANY observer, at any time in ANY inertial reference frame. And the concept of "sitting still" has no meaning, since ALL motion is relative; there is no reference frame for the universe --- unless, of course, you are above time and space...
