Rebelliously Curious: UFOs, Science, Space and Futurism

Did you know that of the current top five-grossing films of all time, only Titanic is outside the science fiction genre?

Science fiction isn't just popular; it's central to the history of film in North American culture itself. The move to narrative filmmaking, which defined cinema as we know it today, is widely associated with the work of Georges Méliès around the turn of the 20th century.

Méliès, an illusionist, saw the potential of film for creating special effects. He experimented with this new technology through a series of fantastical tales. His most influential film, A Trip to the Moon, depicts a group of astronomers traveling to the Moon, exploring its surface, battling its inhabitants, and returning to Earth – all within 15 minutes. This short film pushed the boundaries of what was possible for the medium and shaped the future of cinema. What's remarkable is that A Trip to the Moon came out in 1902, 67 years before Neil Armstrong took one giant leap for mankind. It's a perfect example of how scientific achievements are often first imagined in the realm of fiction. 

Edward Lerner physicist, computer scientist, science fiction and techno-thrillers novelist deconstructs the Science Behind the Fiction and the intriguing connections between scientific fact and its influence on science fiction within Western culture.

The division between humanities and sciences in the study of UFOs and the exploration of the possibility of intelligent life elsewhere in the cosmos has become a common practice. But why? Why can't either of these fields find common ground in an area of study that no one has a definite answer to?

Jeffrey J. Kripal, a professor who holds the J. Newton Rayzor Chair in Philosophy and Religious Thought at Rice University, joins me in a discussion on various intersections of UAP, Theology and science. Though out of discussion we stubble into our human inherent religious tribalism. Is this hindering our progression of understanding our place in the cosmos in light of potential life elsewhere? And why in Abrahamic regions we view ETs "as us and them, and God is on our side." Meanwhile taking a deeper look at why some experiencers turn to myths and symbols of Christian demonology for answers.

The mystery of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) has captivated UFO historians for over 70 years. Do recent UAP developments within the government and the media mirror past events, suggesting a repetition of history? Have we failed to learn from our past mistakes? David Marler, an author, UFO historian, and the Founder of the National UFO Historical Records Center, analyzes how current UAP developments compare to historical events and examines materials recently obtained by The Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO) in his collection.

Today, we're diving into the depths of cloning, not just as a scientific marvel, but as a gateway to broader ethical questions brought forth by advancements like cloning, CRISPR and other genetic engineering technologies. As we navigate this complex topic, we'll ponder the implications of manipulating human and possibly animal tissues. Are we on the brink of redefining what it means to be human? Should we limit our focus to human cloning, or should we expand our scope to encompass all aspects of genetic modification and enhancement?

With empirical data, children from low socioeconomic environments adapt to tough situations in unique ways from higher randomness in the brain. The "adaptive stochasticity hypothesis" is a fancy way of saying that in life, different situations can lead to many different outcomes, and sometimes people adapt to tough situations in unique ways. It's all about how we deal with challenges and end up in various places.

Sofia Carozza, Postdoctoral Researcher at Harvard Medical School deconstructs her team's recent paper on randomness and neurodevelopmental outcomes, and how neurodiversity and genomic differences from Ancestral trauma or intergenerational trauma held within our DMA could play a part in higher randomness in the brain.

Stories from veterans and active-duty soldiers, as well as government records, have documented UAP activity over military complexes and atomic weapons sites dating back to the early 1940s.

These reports can be found in sources such as Project Blue Book and have continued to be documented in various government agencies and task forces up to the present day. For instance, the Pentagon is investigating UFOs that possibly turned off nuclear warheads. The Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU) has recently published a two-part paper that delves into UAP activity and its potential connections with post-World War 2 nuclear warfare capabilities.

Larry Hancock, Former US Air Force Staff Sergeant Master Instructor, and SCU Board Member and Team Leader of the UAP Intentions Study Project, deconstructs his paper the “UAP Indications Analysis 1945-1975, United States Atomic Warfare Complex” and speaks to the UAP trends, intentions and patterns found with the 30 year time span.

On August 24, Japan initiated the discharge of radioactive wastewater from the damaged Fukushima nuclear facility into the Pacific Ocean due to the nearing full capacity of storage tanks. This action has stirred controversy, leading China to swiftly impose a comprehensive ban on all aquatic imports from Japan. The accumulation of this waste issue has persisted since the Fukushima plant was hit by a tsunami in 2011. Jim Smith, Professor of Environmental Science in the School of the Environment, Geography and Geosciences at the University of Portsmouth joins Chrissy Newton to discuss the science and what we should know about the radioactive wastewater.
