We tackle the first in the series of seven lectures by theoretical physicist Dr. Richard Feynman titled "The Character of Physical Law", this first lecture being on the Law of Gravitation, the history of its discovery, and its wider application in the methods of science and the further discoveries of physics. Copernicus, Tycho, Kepler, Newton, and Einstein are among the giants on whose shoulders modern physics stands.   Get the book from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Character-Physical-Law-MIT-Press/dp/0262533413 Get the audiobook from Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Character-of-Physical-Law-Audiobook/B00CS962AS?source_code=AUDORWS0718179KY7   Below are some of the images we were looking at of Tycho's planetary observation tools.    

Brandon is a Jujitsu instructor and teaches the Wim Hof Method. He has joined us on many of our Contact at the Cabin events, running breathwork sessions and ice bath instruction for attendees. Brandon was in our area to teach some classes over the weekend so we invited him out to the Tangent Cube for some podcasting.  We talk about Jujitsu, Wim Hof, shamanism, the power of the breath, and general life hacking for physical and spiritual improvement. Find Brandon on Instagram: @brandonpowell369 Brandon's website: http://onphyr.com/ YouTube: Much of the music in this episode is Brandon's work.

We have a lot of your emails to catch up on, but first we give a big Rock n' Roll update - Kyle's band Fifty Dollar Dynasty is releasing their new album, "Precession", on June 21st, the summer solstice! You can check their website for the countdown, and also join their new Patreon if you want access to an early digital release. Support the band and get cool behind-the-scenes content as FDD adds them to their Patreon feed. Our SpaceWeather News section also goes a bit further this week, discussing the upcoming possible contact of earth with the fragment stream of comet Schwassmann-Wachmann at the end of this month. It might be the end of civilization as we know it, or simply a spectacular meteor shower, or maybe nothing at all. After all that, we tackle your emails, of which there are many and they are all excellent. We have the best listeners. Thank you all!   https://fiftydollardynasty.com/ https://www.patreon.com/fiftydollardynasty/posts   Executive Producers: Philip Baklamov Matt Shy Peter Shell Zachariah Baker Frank M.

Jahannah recently got involved with the team from the "Builders of the Ancient Mysteries" documentary to help them with the English narration, and she's become fascinated by the mystery of the  amazing rock-cut chambers in India called the "Barabar Caves". These chambers are explored in the documentary itself, along with many other megalithic mysteries of the ancient world, and the BAM team is working on a new documentary that focuses on the Barabar Caves. Jahannah joins us to talk about her work with the BAM team, her fascination with the Barabar Caves, and possible upcoming trips to visit these enigmatic chambers. There is video for this episode!

The hosts take listeners on a visual journey through Egypt's megalithic sites, discussing the intriguing unfinished projects like the Unfinished Obelisk. They explore advanced stoneworking techniques and possible historical interruptions that left monumental tasks incomplete. Humorous anecdotes about meetups blend with serious discussions on ancient masonry and the architectural contrasts of temples and pyramids. The mystery of vanished builders and sophisticated quarrying methods adds depth to the conversation, leaving fascinating questions about lost technologies.

Ben from UnchartedX joins us this week for a long-form discussion on the technical aspects of some of the anomalous ancient megalithic stonework we see around the world. Are these sites connected stylistically? Do the precision, difficulty, and advanced engineering evident in many of these sites indicate the presence of a lost precursor civilization in deep history? We tackle these questions and many more in this episode.   This episode was also broadcast live to our Discord Server, which we do from time to time.

George Howard, member of the Comet Research Group and owner/operator of the excellent Cosmic Tusk website, joins us this week to deliver a presentation he gave at the recent WorldViewzMedia conference in Sedona. In this presentation, George lays out the evidence for the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis as an explanation for the massive changes that took place on Earth at the onset of the Younger Dryas period, just before the beginning of the Holocene. Many of you will be familiar with much of this information, but there's always something new to learn about this fascinating period in Earth history, and George delivers the information with style, as always.

We're back from the conference in Sedona and ready to dive into listener emails and some long-form rambling discussions, SnakeBros style. Laura also joins us in the Tangent cube for this episode. We read some great emails of experiences and encounters, questions about UFOs and spirituality, travelling the world on foot looking at ancient sites, and a visit to one of the Smithsonian's "storage" buildings.   Executive Producers: .-/  "Period Dash Slash"   Join us on the first SnakeBros Meetup: http://www.brothersoftheserpent.com/p/meetups-and-events.html     Get Darren Grimes' book, "In Their Own Words": https://www.amazon.com/Their-Own-Words-Indigenous-Residential/dp/B09XZ8J57H
