You're. Listening to the sceptics guide to the universe, your escape
Reality look into this
six guide to the universe. Today is Wednesday september, fifth, two thousand and eighteen
This is your host even novella journey me this week.
I've novella everybody here
santa Maria Howdy J novella guys.
Evan, Bernstein good evening friends, so we are all back.
From dragging can we had? Another fund we can do is pretty intense, recording a little extra bit now that we're back for the opening part of the show word of warning.
are we lost our primary recording of the live. Show I drank on, but our backup recording is good.
Sound qualities. Now can we what you're used to? But we know we did some postproduction on it. We did everything we could to make the other sound quality as good as possible.
And it's perfectly listenable what we understand? It's not at our usual quality, so you don't have to email us and say what's wrong with the recording this week. We know we get our backup recording of a live show and at that live show. Well, I should say at the weekend
the conqueror car five years, but not this year I looked out so I'm swung. Ok, how is that possible? Because, unfortunately, I couldn't be there, you know the whole. We can you
he's. Got there a whole day before I did. I ended up having to say in my room doing a little bit of extra work. You know because school just started back for the fall semester. I had less exposure opportunities and you guys and I still got sick, the universe, hates
you know some viruses are airborne, truly touch one
you weren't handle that we'd be a window or
You stand in one crowded, elevator here I also was on longer flights, and you guys one of bob's friends urged
his friend right bab, he coined the free
How can we, I said so
feeling you get after the con is over yes
wonderful portmanteau or their portmanteau port man to man to put me to tell you right, portmanteau cheese, but that was a wine
something said about monday at the con right, any good beer for an event like that
He was still people hang around, but not as many people in costume and feels it's the winter of the car. You know it's like the waning its. It is very good
others in agriculture between Sunday later
renewing and monday morning, it's like inside the same hotels, the prize, a kind of over night.
On Sunday night after we were all done hanging out. We went out to an amazing dinner and then I was hanging
with J and core and and their son,
a room, and then I went back to my room and realise that throughout my back to get this is so ridiculous. I threw back also so I've just been
mass all weekend, and my here
that wasn't working on the plane. So it's like I'm gonna, go to the farmers
and by one of those air.
Debated heating pads. You know that you can wrapper your body that are portable, so I go to the farm, say: go to sea vs at midnight and am textile fibre,
Is it safe and downtown atlanta to go out and with us like it's fine it'll be fine ass. I walked to the pharmacy every single person in pharmacies and costume
and it was so funny like the employees of sea
yes, we're taking self its look at all of the shop burger furthest, so bizarre
like? This is not a typical thing you would see on a sunday night at a farming areas. Argument is awesome, super glad I did not
khan cried this year, because on the day after the con tuesday, which was yesterday as recording this, I did my first audio book rico
session you. Only crime also sell anxiety. Writing! Thank goodness. You not say you have. My word would have been flying is thrown the schedule of
so you're, throwing during how you said the first line of the book? I know what the first line is here. He mean spock lie to me: yeah thanks,
coastlines boiler. Did you like Google facebook lied to me somewhere in between those two things
existing market will lie to me,
Here's my spock lied to me.
guy,
if the first line of the book is a quot, it's not spotlight to me or you read, I know others. Yes, I read the chapter headers, I read the quote. I read the preamble, but that's the first main text, the first sentence written by us and I am supposed to perform it
just read: like atomic I'm reading a bedtime time story.
Expressing a baby. This thing is like you know here is: what does you prefer
section thirty, a little authors, you know so a lot of funny bits in there
Are you doing our individual adventures and skepticism chapters in
and our carries it heard voices of having gardener yeah. I didn't seven chapters on tuesday, what's really impressed,
brion said a little haven't ahead of schedule, simum by paces above average, because you generate, which is good
as they are young and how to relieve us weeks in the studio. Mrs we're busy we're prepping for a lot of stuff, so what's it like steve
slow down or what likewise work. Yes, I'm seem just
in a chair and a very small booth with a microphone I have water. I haven't ipad with you, know and scroll the text up it and have to be very
because if I move too much, if I touch anything any extraneous, no extraneous noise, I have to reread the line cause. I got yeah. I got it over
rector listening in reading along with me in correcting every little mistake in her mouth
ways is popping peas hemisphere. I see you're wearing headphones automatic; no,
I'll have to wear the headphones, so I did because they can just punch into the yard every speaker. So
we just got here. What happened here have headphones on my head for three and a half hours along with everything else.
Friday? I have a five hour recession, the overseer, but think about help.
This is I mean people email, us all. The time asking is there going to be an audio book? When is the audio book gonna be ready, how's the audio but can be handled so many people love
turning to audio books and how cool is it guys that is going to be safe zone void, certainly worth area errand
have some other good news. So I think last week of the week before we mentioned that,
Barnes and noble has a signed copy of the book. These are the pages that report
sign. They ve already sold like a third of them, so yeah, let's go
there were two years now,
don't go in still going fast. There very happy about the other go very quickly so,
we had we have set up a deal with the strand in new york city, so broken it. We're gonna, beata, COMECON, new york on Sunday october. Seventh, we ever the jaw
with bill. Now we re talking norwalk on Monday, I could breathe and then we have to talk
at the strand which the giant awesome bookstore in new york city on october, ninth will obviously be selling and signing books. At all of these events,
but also we worked out a deal with the strand where, because they deliver books, so since we're gonna be there, you can
You can go to our website. Slash book just go to the book page on our website
all of the links for their fur. How you can purchase were pre order, the book, but you can also ordered the book from the strand.
and then, when we're there working to sign a whole bunch of of the hard copies of the hard covers, and then they will ship on that
they will ship you a signed copy of the book signed by all five of us. So of course, if you can't be
at an event where we are in person. You can still get us to sign your book, brutally we'll be there on the ninth assign them. That's where they won't shook them until the tenth adheres youth
they will ship internationally. So we ve got a lot of emails from people saying here. I tried to order the barnes and noble thing, and I can't do it from Finland or czechoslovakia wherever they are so just ordered from the strand. They said
shipping internationally? Obviously you have to pay the international shipping, but they will stay
ship anywhere. So that's another way
you get a signed copy of the book? If you can't get it, you burn chernobyl. If you're not gonna be out one of the eventual we're going to be, you can get it from the strand,
and, of course, if you are going to be in any these locations and more will have our full schedule honour on our website on the book page and on our facebook page willing to be trying to give you as much heads up as we can all of the book promotion events that we have, we will be listing in those various places really looking forward to it can be
they are looking forward to seeing you there have you guys any basement COMECON we ve been dragging kind of like a lot of time. Has anyone been the COMECON care of you have ever so I've been
san diego conic comecon. Many many many times would have never been to new york comecon. Some really excited to see what it's all about your router.
Drank on end some local? What local cons? Never that's! Only big one! I've been too, I think, drag
I don't know I could be wrong. I think san diego comecon is by far the biggest but dragon canada huge might be bigger than new york comecon. I wouldn't be surprised, if might be. Yours
without actually said this year, my gosh that so
crazy, but spread out over seven buildings. So it's the s crazy, but not insufferable, o san, diego comecon, spread out over the entire downtown. Send
its technically in the convention center, but it's gotten to be so big that its in every hotel within every building and I think, north of three hundred thousand ten weeks.
let's see how many attend to ease to new york, COMECON we'll see what they say. Fifty fifty fifty attendees here a new record attendance too.
four thousand tickets sold in seven in twenty seventy one
What does over the course of three days? How might stand near comecon to record to enter
and sold and twenty seventy gonna. That's not you, but it's not quite two hundred thousand.
He all, because some people only buy single single day tickets day tickets yeah exactly, but still that's impressive. Well, it's going to be a great ideas. I cannot wait
So is this a costume defender what others cosplay rig?
being costume. Can we just all dress up as bill nye?
does it matter?
that's all kind of fun? I'm down, I'm so glad
he's. Gonna, do our vote with us again, he so fun here he is, and what are we going to be talking about at our peril? Is scientific, human rights
They were calling it, but it's. Basically, we are going to be discussing the worst and most common science, bad science tropes inside
fiction uniting all the sites that they typically screw up in all points: fiction, movies, books, tv, etc. So reviewing prometheus again
Are we so phone fun? Your topic?
can we create a related panel, a dragon com which is growing and wanted to get a feel for the topic and than in timing and everything. This is more about their prognostication of the future. Not so much just their science but they'll be some overlap. Took a topic. Is a lot of air
We talked forever, not a territory. People are very interested to get to get a lot of audience involvement and another.
news guys,
we all are copies of copies of the actual.
we have in our hands. The final copy
I had the jade early delivered an hour ago, yeah, you think so,
hiding and also you know. I have a lot of friends or science to journalists and so with
Publisher. You know individuals who might write about a book individuals who might talk about a book on their podcast, usually the publisher
a mass is a big list of those and sends those out first they're kind of post galley review copies before the book technically goes
on sale and I've been getting texts and emails over the last day from people being like. Oh my gosh, I'm so excited it's the actual book and its
oh my spirit. Is there a bright that? Well, it's you know
although a lot of territory recover an epoch, it so funny to you, because all my friends are trying to guess like which individual chapters I control
did more to guessing incorrectly interesting, that's their like for sure. You wrote the p hack into after
well, I'm a year- and I did read- did make all the
after sound the same. You know exactly except there,
you're a succession of the birth brassiere? Absolutely no, absolutely, but there one section of the book were each kind of tell our own individual.
venture and scepticism yeah so that everyone has their own adventure and that in your own voice I did not editors edited emanating rewrite them into one. I voice. I kept it in your voice. Yellowstone chapters have fun and is even a chapter from
three, which is based on article. He wrote for our newsletter that exhaustive does
ray addition yassum I mean, as you can tell, were all really really proud of. This book has been like two years of work to get it to this point, and I think I should
Twenty seven, I would talk me by were looking at the book has been looking at her hard copies. This is like really twenty years.
Five years that only plus years yeah? This is that the information that book we literally built over twenty two year career, promoting
and scepticism, correct, which means you wants you to the book from us for twenty years,
I think we got a few more
not another. We brought another, we broke the eyes, but yeah. So
the proud of it. I think it's a really it it's what we wanted exactly what we wanted.
ray, I think, is what a lot of people have been asking us for
Are you not only a great introduction to scientific scepticism, putting a great reference even for people who are very familiar with the with science and scepticism is a deal fields
of new stuff in there to learn and you're the science?
critical thinking and of promoting scientists of com has been advancing. A lot of people ask us about, like the demon hunted world, which is still a great book, it's fantastic, but you know
That was written in the ninety? Ninety three was a ninety six, ninety five, ninety five at twenty three years old, almost a quarter of a century, yet we ve now with we ve progressed since then, we ve learned a few things:
fewer. So I I kind of look at this is a little bit as a as a little bit of an update. You know where a sequel even to demon, haunted world saying. Okay, this is what we know now and it's a little bit more thorough. I think it's, you know it takes a more systematic approach and, of course, dinar voice. You know, Carl Sagan's voice is fantastic. I mean I love, I'm definitely a giant of science communication and he is absolutely probably our biggest single inspiration with a lot of people. There were a lot of people inspired us, but I mean Carl Sagan's. Definitely gotta be at the top, have three tap to oh yeah for sure so go to our book page at the skeptics guide, dot, org, slash book, you'll, see the
link on the homepage and there's all sorts of ways to pre order, the book hard copy e book and soon the audio book. I think I'm going to try to release it at the same time will have two weeks through the post production. After I finish the recording
and here we really appreciate it. We gave you plan on getting the book. It did helps us if you pre order actually want, although sales to me right at the beginning, that will help promote the book, get it onto a seller list
You people ask us always gonna be sold in france.
Every well, you know the more priority
Get the more popular the book is the more international publishers will pick it up right now we have china, korea, germany, russia and the uk, which also covers
failure and new zealand, but hopefully we will never be picking up more international publishers as well,
We get a latin american public over the idea. Here we are quite a few people, email and asking for it to be translated into spanish yachting war. That's not in our hands.
But they can. I translated into french. No, it's that put the publisher owns the book. They have to make a deal with a publisher in that language, so we have no control over that sort of thing. I mean we do I come here we have to. We have to agree to it, but we can't make it happen. You know they that's up to our publisher
All their exciting, very, very exciting secured is lay air lib, ruinous burn your comrade
how to
Brenda? What you guys are have amazing spanish spangler right. Well,
let's go onto our lives, show from dragging khan and then we'll be back next week.
with a regular show by dare we hope you enjoy this life performance.
To this end, they started universe.
even a jury
so when you don't always that these are always.
We have seen this is nothing unusual,
visual series.
I haven't really drachenhausen.
No,
oh, I just saw a walk around the exterior and from sa needed to do was awkward,
seven
so well, to tell you

We re covers the really cool
video so her, and it was that
He has also yesterday as a whole.
Is it? I did you do?
yeah.
Everybody loves each other, more thought to how we
he rang for many years.
And now the reactionary really interesting, because most people
and nobody having been whispering literally a paperback, and I have a convenient sway with a tennis racket and a crown it was just an odd call.
And you have no idea, but why one
such is the robots close our presidency,
dewey bag with hands with wonderful movie necessary because there were rare among let's see somebody do something really well we're doing something unusual or doing something really obscure
so what are you talking about?
yeah,
visuals:
the reason why would have transported around and exacting bruise occur?
It was the even more if you love me a swap
ships can be yet every insignia
We don't worry that europe is actually lost. This interactive he's got a thing like what are you going
Oh no,
His reaction was more emotional, still just backtrack. Our steps area
besides these bees,
the euro parasites vibration entirely. Yes, the arrears
we re in every city.
That is why
in my mind
These.
All right, you don't really use your dragging clothing items, but the news is the news: probably won't survive jobs,
One only has to read and sound is one is working potentially scary, revolted sisyphus
We have signed it.
stop.
After
we are proposing that asteroids capture
a ship to result in the asteroids. Pretty far far away John, he asked
into a worrying around where we use the asked the earth too slow to slow down the asteroids
and then draw years would override here, scary colouring,
they're, saying that they wanted you accelerated and get into a stable orbit. So we mine the asteroid.
Force base
Yes, this is dangerous and bear out into better trajectory is tries thing to be agreed,
these practices
whereas it is three years following as they wouldn't. Let me ask you: that's why
he's had a circular.
Nurse

Reed's legacy improves the light.
right now
so
why do they have
Have you seen the earth with all

Life is low enough that the years actually have re. It's gonna go into pathways about the rest of other things. Go wrong.
It really is
so there s guidance and control systems in the actors in the absolutely extreme.
Just imagine that crap

somewhere else or not one of those zones,
yeah.
What
We, like you say this is proven scary sidelined when it is within reach
So do we
yeah
all walking in access.
I just think why aerial ringing asked rachel. You say we can attach rocket whatever to a small steer and ran and still directly into a region. The greater the way it did indeed give overlapping rubbish will feel the weight of your wise degrees, each other's places, reticent to press there. So in any direction you go from now three dimensional you going rates or something gets there at those. Those positions are fixed with respect to
the fields of the the region. Point between europe and the song it'll stay there relative to the earth. Do we just go there and give you that you're seeing are? These are like radicals, a lot of rappers?
Why should it? Why should I wanna keep drifting away?
very little station keep it.
Worryingly manifestation.
in the winter, if we're steering internationally anyway, how much extra you know steering or getting a reading of your ass, your aerobic vs, the extra rest and having a flight walrus hour
IRAN is granted his eyes, never actually say that all you gotta say it is a very expensive, wouldn't superfluous.
However? Sadly,
you want some.
it's a walk from one perspective in that eventually things are going to crushing each other, but if you were there, you wouldn't be like the long.
Every inch of distance.
we may soon.
The angel was entities even says it s real twice.
Now is the only one:

So what
This is as we all wish, the genetic we sheep fast way to make alterations to up to and including servants snippets of the three citing. This is a very exciting excited.
How are we to do this?
These are the polished stay. One dogs urging you change must be able to secure a real to dramatically alter the negative effects must be sufficiently with genetic manipulation. So very quickly must be the mutation energy networks, protein of distrust and destroying the imports of protein must change as the worst with me. Are you happy? You haven't mutation, it basically starts to production, and so you have essentially could see me
as well as training diatribe, stem cells are already developed right, not to be in the muscles. Does another must be taken by produce muscle. There was a degree they would die. Digital were treated more treated him with twenty thirty slowly getting bigger time. Yet this terrible is like this is the big guy was com.
He's right is the lower food, so in the dogs, use crisper, certainly working destroying gene in providing a heart too heavily measured. The functional strolling increased if need were sent out so probably be asked with twenty percent, so mainly for said,
What do you think you're? So what we don't know is how long it was, what matters at its parts
yet another genetic
as a the crystal you could be distributed. Changes genetic changes in the cells, that's bad!
It is also about wasn't your puerile teachers to function, and we still have a reason why we need a treaty

I don't want. You know how long the changes over said several with
it doesn't hurt to watch two years that would be enough can be could be basically functional. Here is that you know they may not be normal, but they might be functionally. You can go about their life or near normal lifespan. Having secured a living piece of paper, that's okay! That's a pretty good outcome. So this is big news. This is big news and again little bit overly cautious america remains.
That's waiting be ten years. You're right, you can hear it. Everything works, the worse. We should be able to prove it wants,
Also there's some more animal trials in the trials under the tree fires and provide a heartbeat to me. This is this is encouraging. Is that
because you were actually science ass, yet
that's it

just as surely

I can see that this was a study that was published recently in the british journal of psychology.
This means that a study
is that your friend, as did many years ago- and I guess, has some focus within the slab office-
So I can see that in the title return losers,
or maybe we should cause hours. So what are you doing?
his study is I'm assuming a convenience sample of college undergraduate and and did a a test.

We have nothing
randall when he likes the person pushing the button may or may not think

there is a rare raw, hence loser
and what they found. The fao individuals intended to say that they were crawling with land this day

We now have one researchers actually this this superstitious police, fresh air.

research that eighty percent of the time.
People still worse,
Yoga studying yoga study is not the first. The first time was a superstition. Superstition is basically about why I wear my lucky sweater. The yankees will we
In our last time it was a sweater and then so what people know, which creeks are compelled to make ridiculous causes an expensive, reasonable reaction, giving somebody a possible cause, of course, the gun at an officer position at night. So the paradigm that the previous researches, that you have or get a keyboard and a cursor as it moves through the screen that goes to the left or right right, you're trying to control which way the cursor is going and but there's no relationship between the buttons at her residence, great piazza, completely people,
and the movement of the cursor, but ninety five percent of the people, people studying came to believe they were controlling the cursor, figured out the relationship. It's like. We always have to go the opposite way. You want to go except at the bottom.
In sweden? The crazy rules ever nature, whatever they were and he believed that they were controlling it except a minority. The number I remember is timers african minority of the people figured out.
This will have some scientific.
The can go in the direction they use, some sort of analysis of systematic signs of excess
Yes,
policies,
Was I
That's so true that we learn about thinking logic in science.
Don't necessarily everyday. You happy that next reusing
It's the worst. I ever watched in these abstract themes that we deal with like even everyday
it's sort of next to becoming a real skeptical person to start researching all the tools?
it's about when just when you're investigating citizens like recording. Now I get so embedded, it's like you're having an argument about something that happened.
Of course it is now really like principles.
Well, everyone we're going to break into our lives, show it rang kind to talk about one of our sponsors this week. Key we co cubicle, creates really cool heads on projects for kids, that make learning about science, technology engineering and are in math fine, and that is so key if you could make all of those things, fine, a man
in the future scientists we will have so my daughter and I put together the do it yourself glow lab, in which we mixed up the chemical solutions and they
load in the dark. It contained multiple experiment so as an entire day of fun, dealing with uv light, phosphorescence and camera luminescence Evan. Did you travel through time? Oh, not quite that'll, be the next kit that arrive hit it.
They just keep telling us that what's coming, roby haven't gotten urfa, and maybe we did that. Maybe we did and when it comes in a box shaped like a target.
He recalled to live
Convenience in this means absolutely
everything you need to build. These projects is in the box. It means you don't have to.
The craft store or the hardware store. It's all in there. Why not gift a key we co subscription to a child
in your life there offering you the sceptics,
the universe listeners the chance to try them out for free to redeem
offer and learn more about their projects for kids visit, kiwi code, dot, com, slash sceptics again, that's key! We co dot com.
Kay, I w. I see. Oh dot com, slash sceptics to try key, we call for free girls. Let's get back to the show.
This is our air spacey using a recital.
And thought
To some scientists are claiming that they have evidence of a previous universe in the cosmic microwave background radiation
I got the if it were true that will be.
Everyone is lying,
another used, sightings envy and less so
all over the world.
others want to stay.
Even though I say that with this is like

so his idea- and he came up with that was the moment when his partner is confirmed, remote cyclical cosmos,
This has caused much them, while these politically
times recently are derisory
It means that ninety it's conclusions with one hundred percent seriousness and because it's not it's not quite funny, it's not monogramming. There's a lot of these. When, when you think about what's going to happen, the interview
It was the beginning of the universe. You can, it hasn't been speculation until we develop quantum gravity, removing any hard and fast and reliable. So that's what that's like
So the idea is that universe, universe born expanded exists.
At the end of the end, for let's say ten to one hundred years, it gives birth to another under the universe. Our universe say
we were looking at the early universe is one: is
It's a homogeneous droppings

allowing for military well,
what
Now, this intention of five years is good,
we're going to ensure our universe has been injured, very boring in the face of the sitter space, where it's essentially it's expanding space and forces can be heard. Here's here's our years now, one hundred years in my arms from lives in united states is that in that picture, can you just do that
basically, the consequences years of university. He warned to me it just looks like a guy changing his oil.
Yeah.
I'm just

so how matters together

yeah?
I was getting a lot bigger in black holes last a really long time, but, as we know, long reach, the d me hawking radiation, it was slow,
In that way,

this is an excellent idea.
The exact opposite. So that's a problem and that's just one of the problems in hiring the idea. First often said that since he dismissed it,
really really which why why don't you say the one that cares, the one that I'm talking about when hang around with him. So why are we talking about halfway because you read something by somebody like penrose and me on something, I'm trying to say why
you'll you when you read a theory jamison part of why we talk about skepticism. While you know that
I just happened to scientists be wrong. This is how you look at the consensus, for
all other signs dismissed is
the very areas as it should be. Ten thousand of these, sir-
Does he com
during that period.
How we can save lives
symbols and area. What would you say? It's me, your browser,
You will be so we might do
we really must have been called something right now.
But the german journey and should be welcomed.
It remains a key tool. We don t really care.
Physics figures when somebody says I have evidence of a previous universe, can get your
into the wild. What is your review as we've seen in the paper donate to the bottom? I'm gonna try. It is so, especially with the non gmo project. Howard pointed out shopping or something I apply this
Stickers are buying whatever the reason was on ten two thousand and one started reading and watching for suits.
if smart food is gmo, but there are a couple of articles recently that specifically awareness when a of the people who are involved in the earlier generation of the non gmo project were members of the maharishi, the vidic agriculture over eating at a friend's house. While this is you know, eastern pseudoscience, so the jw soundwaves?
in queens and spiritual laws, all the food which will then more thoroughly nourish vermont or salt, they're, going to say the same thing: the farmers beating the fire
years ago. The traveller trap, singing
I'm sure we hear this
They like
It's gotta be fruity right. We demand that the real problem here is cause even the fallacy of saying that, within the power, the movie that is currently at the site and buy a product that has non gmo verified, you are promoting endorsing pseudoscience. Unfortunately, that's just the way to avoid, but do what you can't avoid it. If you can't complain, if you can, there has to be accountable. This is a tsunami, overtaking our agriculture, and the goal is to eliminate an entire science from africa, for that is their goal. They see it and whenever they say always just because only about transparency and information,
she stated their goal in many venues where these are. The goal is to get rid of all gmo it rid of violence. That is their goal. This is all the same under on the website project and
energy,
the bodies,
Why did we see raised me, fear jean be happier than companies pay them to get the label? But
this site is to say it s probably going to be behind you.
And everything we say. Nosey, obviously not be true of misleading
Well, they say that oh yeah, a lot of the studies, are done by the hospital studies and are not that big. In fact, more than half or so.
For example? What does he have? Is this scientist wrote a review? That said, we don't say yeah you're, right that one scientist, ronald Reagan and then every scientific organization, the world, review all the literature and said that in this day, so while that was technically true, we didn't accurately representing information
that is necessary to make an informed decision? The turkish history return so there
can't say you're about trees. I just didn't you can listen, that's slightly misleading easy,
no see so do misinform, fearmongering, that's not transparent
that is few months. Where did you treated alternative medicine, in this case vb guy that altering the extreme and organic agriculture? At the very least? Alright, then this is a cool high tech.
What's interesting, is the lack of yarn contains the architecture for sure
yeah you're from the usa ancient times called the sixties
the be all and he's warning us about virtual says to use of technology affect our minds. So how now that we each be on guard in the future, use technology to record mines will have negative results,
Recent you see psychosis security.
I only spoke about his experiences working on a couple of different rogers and then his name celebrity to awesome laboratory. I wish they flew me to this vr simulation in which you walk on mars.
Some really really cool cause. We sat through stones at me and now you know, I thought that my feet were down.
And why is this,
really that's how
these realities
so this made me wonder, I mean power on and they are mostly in experiences can be some negative consequences:
into his hands.
The fact that it is true that people who experience mental illness within this area tend to develop at a certain point in their life, they tend to be precipitated within their lives. If you're in your late teens mid to late teens, you are at high risk for developing schizophrenia. Okay, let's say hallucinogen or you experience some sort of intense stress event that causes
in reality. Seventeen. So I mean I wouldn't be surprised if people in the navy are already at high risk for hunting
I am equally and use
especially in the age of stressors,
Separated
The real issue here is another thing here.
Again, I stress jewels were passed. The entertainment
It sounds to me, were you know normal life life? Maybe you could go into it like, especially like the heart games that they do when there was one where the aliens coming after you really want the aliens that scared, yet that type of stress, I think, would have an effect that people just playing arizona
we should work
yeah. You know your mother's argue
We are negatively affected by labor's videogames. They give up a life of you know. Taking care of their kids is not going to work like they are always going to be people who are at risk
well. These kinds of things are the same. I think so. I think that William Shatner was blown away with the from which we were together. Yes, you're right, you're surprised it works
actually that's about where the regional thing is going to be when you get squeezed above the high tech enough virtual virtual reality, that's out there now tricks your brain. Your brain thinks that you weren't in that virtual in a scary part is happened to me that, even though intellectually you know standing in Steve's
I could walk out that flying motionless and misery.
It's all about how you use it for simple psychologists are already using vr for exposure therapy rigged to have love and fear of spiders vs virtual spiders and will increase the virtual, but it's real like rain things, which we think is a safe environment, expose yourself to something
and you can be secured people under eighteen years ago now
that's, not your cursor cycles.
video
the of the jar or something or it just didn't work the same way. Frankly, you get nauseated like there were issues, and now it's just really good the first time
especially given the virtual flowery.
This is a story,
wesley
Each week
Here we go:
under this agreement, as I believe it is our brains,
It is an illusion,
It's obviously just a stray that I love these things. Her name is paula vacations willing to sign a waiver malena canning,
in milan, can a stroke but she's twenty nine years old and that stroke actually basically took out the gossip, so there's a hole in your brain. When you look at it, honest and full of cerebral, spinal fluid or occipital lobe.
Should be. The tissue is so
your visual cortex is its responsible provision
so the idea
now I will see to it all.
Well, they can't see, but then she started to notice a weird phenomenon. She perceived a flicker of a gift bag of metallic effect that was sitting underneath
wichita or others? They will lose nation, it's very common when you lose vision to nation.
And go okay, but then she started to see other things in her environment and as his skill, I guess you can say this perception.
you are also started to do tat and were able to their heinisch c mon
No,
wise, so these urgent now, and so they announcing this goal.
I'll be there.
that seems to be responsible for their? It is called
the meals
not anywhere near your visual system. The issue is
Think about raising the brain. Like highways in
it'd, be going through the article before it gets so they're very use like the original location. This visual house, specifically that they're looking at
if the researchers are over and over through the work. Is the visual pathway through the front and back delivers?
for your brains out illegal through you.
Yeah
I ran around for this specific promotion always said that if it comes back around because yeah the ones I didn't know it's true, there are a lot of confusion for all of these researchers was like how has it gone there in the vicinity? So
it's actually cheaper to numerous and eighty they talked about. I use this visualization, like your eyes are ten years you are on the highway and you're trying to get your destination and your exit ramp is close. There's a know what to do at work levels.
They are our evolutionary very
I guess
it seems as though they were strengthened.
Other data,
the he should play a hell of a fight because you never really think about them. If there's a war obvious place in the brain that you're seeing the activity
Z.
Somebody's roominghouse
the law in july around the phrase, so that wasn't going to come out
I used to run around
the generation that went over there before and is caused by the way. I looked it up, there's only a handful of cases in history. It was
it was
are all adjust and during world war, one evaluations, but this is first described at.
I should be doing yeah. I was thinking about the fact that the earthquakes you could see every
What's that
there,
I regretted that the theory is, if that's what you're asking so she's moving she's will be worth it. Then,
the most, so she can watch the baby so yeah. It's interesting, that of all the basic concepts that we learned. A lot actually got a lot of scripts work out both of the basic stuff figured out what this guy had a stroke and if they needed study him until he die, and then they were doing autopsy on his brain.
The brain was taken out these interesting set of deficits. So now we know that the surgery, patient or surgery to remove you know what happens because of seizures and then they're. Like oh look, he can't remember
we should be.
the outrage with more and more subtle things that you'll use in other cafes. The vision is very complicated. There is process variants.
Regrettably, this audience has its good. It's really noticed things moving
and that's size, the hypothesis, that we develop these kind of more evolutionary rules.
So why is this
because these have a move that could be attacking. You was more important.
the transitional periods
Let one we're gonna break into our show again to talk about another sponsored this week.
some actresses equality,
Sleep makes all the difference, and the right mattress is the difference between resting interest lying down, and the right mattress is the lisa match
as the least matters is the product of more than thirty years of experience in mattress engineering and hundreds of hours of testing the comprise a threefold
There's a provide cooling pressure, relief body, contouring support the least mattresses, the best mattress at the best value,
so when we were dragon car, my mother in law slept in dylan's back
which is the least mattress, and that she finally broke down.
And set on buying one so
mother in law is now buying one because she slept on the one. That's in my house. She said I cannot get a light sleep like I can add you can order your lease.
Mattress online, at least dotcom slashed sceptics and tried risk free for a hundred nights. It ships direct your door in a convenient box with free shipping and free returns, and you could buy lisa for a fraction of the cost of traditional mattresses, find the right mattress for you at least said dot com, slashed sceptics. That's l, e g s, a dot.
slash sceptics, are a guy's. Let's get back to the show it's time for science.
Fiction
we decided.
soldiers contradiction is a theme theme. Is it
people
last year
So here we go. I don't know why atlanta is home to more peach trees than any other city in the world or to Atlantis
hartsfield jackson. International airport is the busiest airport in the world.
Stop it.
jefferson, Davis, riley and little jackson, is the largest basket in the world beating out yeah, so in other words, that statue is just the front part of carved onto the carpet.
Ok, so these extinction real fool, the audience
I reviewed a single clap at it. When I dropped my hand, you get a single clap exactly in time
at this. One is fish to date
all a peace treaty we have is a fiction.
If you think that the international airport, being the busiest in the world is the fiction clap,
You think that's a big thing is definitely a fiction
Ok,
It wasn't me,
You guys you people,
As for the alright, what do you think which one of these evictions.
Each one of you thought of that worldwide
it's probably not even matter what else elsewhere and so, like the other ones. I kind of even remember what they was really do,
Why should an even bigger
the image of a flight path from these seem to converge down there? The is new to me
that's all right,
I know it's hard.
Jackson is the busiest airport in the country that is unquestionable and I didn't know
What
in the world that stresses me out of it all that I know it is easy everyone in the country so and then the difference.
Why
I'm not sure about that. But it sounds like you know.
the one that's so obvious, each related, it's the georgia, asia, but you're right, it's not even a proper. Maybe it's like there's a peach
see
I teach groups in the city.
I didn't get to go, though, with the audience on a second chance, so it will be different
Another piece you just wanted to say
when we try to
jewish hundreds six years and years
this.
He says final sees ones
the why
another.
Be drawing potatoes the speediest I'm going to try these different varieties and shit. They don't get the. Why
these,
or will you come with you?
is that so
it's carvings of jefferson Davis, Rogelio Jackson is the largest natural world beating out rushmore. Everyone thinks this is science, except for a few people in the audience, and this one is
science arrived huge.
How can I get you
Who here knows of stone?
reference, how many people from formulated area,
asked. I give a signal
apparently
like, we did, you change enforces now
gotcha,
This.
Picture
Let's go back its development or to redistribute jackson wrong. Things is when science, who is it
country or the world in two thousand. Seven he be updated.
show that we mean business.
Recipes
if there's a good geographical reason, why that has not changed. So yes, because the delta have a wiser,
well they're ages, zone
where is really easy to our flight from eighty percent of the
So if you just follow like where would be the best place in terms of getting to most people in the shortest distance is atlanta. So
right
the whole streets into the city, the world is the fiction, despite the fact that there are no, I read between fifty five and seventy.
Streets number was very from source. Liquid notice resuscitation
signal
right well, you're, very interesting charm,
peach tree lousy. How did you know this is a truly p p tree ass position of pitched
because there was a pine tree from which they got the indians got pitch. It also
the city where you could see the land that is now a letter from the peach tree.
That does not often overtime peach tree of life
impeached george.
they must always be picture
There are no ages here, there's no one would
these agencies, which treats laurie.
Something was herman.
happy for people.
Why are you here? I know it sounds like something behind it makes sense. Peaches with each state might be converted into peach
You know, like everything, animal logical stories, aren't one hundred percent sure that's exactly what happened, but that's the consensus. There was this picture. Look up the picture
These are all right centres.
with you now
she's the move, more true.
