Listen Now to Future News 1.26.2016

A fun show today with lots of good stories and callers.  We even started off with a continuing  politcal thread from the previous show on KSCO, with Charles Freedman.  For the second half of the show we had our quantum astronaut friend Christopher Altman check in for comments on several space and consciousness stories on our docket.  Look for the interesting juxtaposition between Chris and a caller, Celestine Star, a psychic intuitive from Marin..”The Psychic and the Astronaut.”  The radical differences in belief systems could have been confusing, but we thought it came off quite well!  The image below is an unusual cloud formation sent in by Celestine, who claims it is a stargate.’   Listen to her explanation and you decide wtf! Thanks, and enjoy!

Do you ever wonder what it might be like to have a gathering of folks who want to build a better world, from politics to energy, identity and spirituality?  Such was the Architects of a New Paradigm Conference in San Rafael last weekend, which we attended and now report on, at the top of the news. 

The show skewed towards a discussion of the human microbiome, however, when we mentioned companies that are making drugs from bacteria that live in the gut, and Bobby Wilder called in, a colleague in San Francisco who called to help clarify our understanding of the microbiome, and how some probiotics may help us fight various medical conditions.  Join us as we discuss such things as Primadophilus Reuteri,  Vitamin K2, VSL3, Natren, the gut microbes, and other creepy crawler wiggly tiny lifeforms that rule us all. Enjoy!

It is a safer world when our new Asteroid Defense system is deployed, a big issue if we are ever hit by one of those wayward space rocks. And to explore the solar system, getting to Mars in 39 days, we have the VASIMR plasma drive, promising to revolutionize space trave with its speed energy efficient design. (all you need is a powerful nuclear reactor to power it, minor details.) Meanwhile on Earth, we have discovered/created four new elements to complete the Periodic Table, we’ve have a new pair of heated shoes that self-tighten and track our movements, a new electric car from Chevrolet, hand held laser weapons and a robotic falcon for taking out drones, and a 3D printed metal spaceship model, made from an asteroid. Oh, and let us not forget trauma can be passed down through the generations via sperm!  Enjoy!
