Season 2

Science vs Conspiracy talk the Fermi Paradox over coffee

Show Notes

Are we alone in the universe? If we are not alone, where are all the aliens?
Sir Arthur C. Clarke, once said: "Two possibilities exist: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying." Carl Sagan said something similar
“If it's just us, seems like an awful waste of space.”

In this weeks episode we discuss the Fermi Paradox.

Science vs Conspiracy talk the Fermi Paradox over coffee

Show notes:
What is the Flat Earth Theory and Why do People Believe it?

Conspiracy explains the theory, though he doesn’t believe it himself.
Science thinks it says more about the people who believe it than the actual theory itself. She goes a little into both the science and the psychology of being a flat earther.
We talk about horizons, sunrises, rotations, icebergs, and more!

Physicist Bruce Sherwood made a model of what a flat earth would look like, using the specifications that flat earthers use:

Science vs. Conspiracy talk Simulation Theory over coffee

Could we be living in a highly complex computer simulation designed by some advanced civilization? If so, what is its purpose? Why devote presumably a lot of time and effort creating this reality? And by who?

Science vs. Conspiracy talk Simulation Theory over coffee - Redux

The murder of a Ghost In Hammersmith

Show Notes

Paranormal, Murder, and a town on edge. This is the story of the time a ghost was murdered, shot dead in Hammersmith.

But back in December of 1803 villagers of Hammersmith began being terrorized by a ghost covered in a white shroud. The ghost would appear out of the darkness and confront unsuspecting travellers. It's said that the ghost would appear in the early hours of the morning, after the 1 o’clock church bell would ring out. The apparition would often be seen in the fields adjacent to Blacklion Lane. The theory at the time was that the ghost belonged to a villager who committed suicide by slitting his own throat the year before.

The murder of a Ghost In Hammersmith

Tackling conspiracy theories and hot topics from a Devil's Advocate stance, we have Science - our fearless female who has been a nurse researcher for the last 20 years, and Conspiracy - aka Citizen Paranoid, a lifelong truth seeker to ask the important questions! 
We discuss both sides like a debate with fun, banter, and loads of coffee.

We've always been each other's Mulder and Scully so you'll see that come through in our chats.
