  • Episode 11: The Sun

    What's the brightest star in the sky? The Sun, of course! It's also my favorite. In this episode, we'll take a look at that nuclear fusion reactor in the sky. What powers the Sun? How big is it compared to its cosmic counterparts? What is the solar spectrum?


    Join me as we go "walking on sunshine!"

  • Episode 10: Stellar Evolution

    Ten episodes is a personal milestone! To celebrate, I'm talking about one of my favorite subjects in astronomy--stellar evolution. How are stars born? What happens when they die? What's a rock n' roll star?


    Come with me and take a ride on--and off--the main sequence!

  • Episode 9: Sound Effects Part 2

    In this second of a two-part series on sound effects, we'll take a look at the healing power of music, from ancient Greece to modern times. Have you ever wondered a lyre sounds like? Or an ancient Greek aulos? Tune in to this episode and we'll find out!


    Can sound heal physical ailments? Can it levitate multi-ton slabs of stone? Was it used to build the Great Pyramids?


    Get ready to take some musical notes as we journey to the center of the soul (which the ancient Greeks said could be healed with music.)


    Consider this quotation from Albert Einstein:

    Concerning matter, we have been all wrong. What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. There is no

    matter.

  • Episode 8: Sound Effects Part 1

    What is sound? Why are instruments tuned to a frequency of 440Hz? Is 432Hz the heartbeat of the Earth? In this episode we explore the answer to these questions. We'll also take a look at the conspiracy behind the international tuning standard of 440Hz.

  • Episode 7: DNA Phantom Effect

    Are genes particles or waves? Does our DNA leave an imprint in a source field? Today we'll discuss the answers to these questions as we take a look at wave genetics, the DNA phantom effect and how sound waves have been used to heal.

    Come with me, and let's take an orderly walk in 1 dimension at constant acceleration, into the phantom world of energy fields.


    Notes from the show:

    • Equations of motion in the x-direction
      • One of my favorite books, where I first read about the DNA phantom effect:
      • The Source Field Investigations, by David Wilcock

        • Dr. Peter Garyaev: The Institute of Linguistics of Wave Genetics
        • Paper, Crisis in Life Sciences. The Wave Genetics Response, Garyaev et al.
        • Visible images of phantom effect
        • PCR Amplification of phantom DNA (requires PDF download)
        • A quote from Dr. Peter Garyaev:

          “In particular, we have found it possible to regenerate endocrine glands in animals. By the same means, we have

          significantly curbed the aging process in human cells and even grown new adult human teeth in individuals who had lost them.”

        • Episode 6: Scalar Energy Part 2

          In this episode, we continue our discussion about scalar energy. Last time we talked about the definition of scalar waves and the principle of quantum entanglement. This time we'll talk about scalar energy as it pertains to consciousness and healing.

          Are our thoughts scalar waves? Can scalar waves interact with our physical bodies? Can we show that scalar waves exist?

          Let's take a random walk and find out!
