Brian Keating, author of 'Losing the Nobel Prize: A Story of Cosmology, Ambition, and the Perils of Science's Highest Honor', discusses the origin of the Universe and how science is performed, presented, and perceived. Modern science portrays itself as dispassionate and detached, with objective observers simply registering facts. But scientists are people too, with prejudices and emotions, rivalries and ambitions, hopes and fears. Pop science today is all over the media, making stars out of scientists unaccustomed to such acclaim. In an age of chaos and confusion where anti-scientific attitudes are also on the rise, can more be done to make science relevant and meaningful to the masses? We also take a tour of cosmological theories from the Big Bang to the Steady State and ask, could our Universe really have arisen from nothing? And, in attempting to trace its origin back in time, is there a point beyond which we simply cannot see? https://briankeating.com/ Many more interviews at http://www.legalise-freedom.com If you find this content interesting, please consider supporting my work with a donation http://legalise-freedom.com/make-a-donation/ FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/LegaliseFreedom TWITTER: https://twitter.com/LegaliseFreedom Bumper music: Cliff Martinez 'Traffic OST' Tangerine Dream ‘Love On a Real Train’ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvND6jx6j48

Penny Sartori discusses her book 'The Transformative Power of Near-Death Experiences – How the Messages of NDEs Positively Impact the World'. A near-death experience - or NDE - is a profound psychological event that may occur to a person close to death or in extreme physical or emotional crisis. An NDE may begin with an out-of-body experience, possibly hovering nearby and watching events around the body. An NDE typically includes a sense of moving, often at great speed and usually through a dark space, into a fantastic landscape and encountering beings that may be perceived as sacred figures, deceased family members or friends, or unknown entities. A pinpoint of indescribable light may grow to surround the person in brilliant radiance. Unlike physical light, it is not merely visual but is sensed as an all-loving presence that many people define as the Supreme Being of their religious faith. The emotions of an NDE are intense and most commonly include peace, love, and bliss, although a substantial minority are marked by terror, anxiety, or despair. Most people come away from the experience with an unshakable belief that they have learned something of immeasurable importance about the purpose of life. Overall, the experience is ineffable and the effects are often so powerful that they create permanent changes in people’s lives. This phenomenon is as old as humankind itself, and has been documented - and explained or dismissed – in myriad ways for just as long. In the modern world, dominated by scientific reductionism, NDEs are generally viewed as mere chemical by-products of a dying brain, the after-effects and apparent implications derided as wishful thinking and New Age nonsense. Evidence that NDEs contain a profoundly important message for humanity, however, continues to emerge, and the possibility that they may play a vital part in our evolution is very real indeed. The near-death experience instils knowledge in those who experience it that we are all interconnected, part of a much greater whole, and that what we do to others, we do to ourselves. http://www.drpennysartori.com/ Many more interviews at http://www.legalise-freedom.com If you find this content interesting, please consider supporting my work with a donation http://legalise-freedom.com/make-a-donation/ FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/LegaliseFreedom TWITTER: https://twitter.com/LegaliseFreedom Bumper music: Cliff Martinez 'Traffic OST' Tangerine Dream ‘Exit to Heaven’ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CC0-YvpRins

Thomas Sheridan and Neil McDonald discuss their book and film 'Atlantis – An Empire Lost and Found'. The lost continent of Atlantis has been the stuff of myth and legend for thousands of years, but did it ever really exist? Although quite specific about the nature and location of Atlantis, Plato's account is generally taken as allegory by mainstream archaeologists and historians. However, stories of devastating floods and once-advanced civilizations going right back to the end of the last ice age can be found all over the world, as can evidence for them in the archaeology. In this groundbreaking new work, Sheridan and McDonald link the possible existence of Atlantis directly to megalithic culture, specifically that which erected the many stone circles and other similar structures the remains of which dot the Atlantic fringes, particularly around the British Isles. Along the way we pose probing questions such as: Do secretive occult orders and mystery schools hide knowledge of past civilizations? Did the misuse of powerful technology cause the destruction of Atlantis, and might we be on the brink of making the same mistakes? And, is the current dysfunctional and schizophrenic state of our species somehow linked to collective trauma in the deep past and if so, could Atlantis hold the key to our survival?
