Life is an easy four-letter word. Yet when held up to the background of the vast Universe, a more complex perspective can be understood. For all the declassifications of UFOs and UAPs, the fact remains clear. Complex life -forms in our known universe are right here. Are we just screaming into the void? while letting the only planet in the known universe full of life die? In this episode, we discuss The great auk (Pinguinus impennis) a species of flightless alcid that became extinct in the mid-19th century. New research points the finger more squarely at us. A paper published last month in eLife which uses genetic analysis from museum specimens to reconstruct great auk population trends, suggests “there was no reason for them to go extinct if they hadn’t been hunted.” The Fountain of Youth, a mythical spring, allegedly restores the youth of anyone who drinks or bathes in its waters. We discuss the damning evidence against author Mary Shelly (creator of Frankenstein) uncovered, The story that Shelley had actually tried many of the experiments from her book on her pet dog, Richard. In 1912 Charles Dawson, an amateur archaeologist claimed to have discovered the ‘missing link between ape and man. Listen to one of the biggest hoaxes ever perpetrated on science. Who was in on it? In Chinese mythology, Peaches of Immortality are consumed by the immortals due to their mystic virtue of conferring longevity on all who eat them.
