We’ve all seen them…white streaks emanating from behind commercial airliners. Is it water vapor or is there something more nefarious being released at 30,000ft? Tennessee legislators were so alarmed by these white plumes, they just passed legislation banning so-called “chemtrails” and any other form of geoengineering. Really, no Really!

Chemtrails have been linked to conspiracies about secretive government forces who are using them to release chemicals that could cause sterilization, reduction of life expectancy, mind and weather control and a whole host of other sinister outcomes. But are any of these conspiracies real?

When Jason and Peter, saw that 6 or more states are taking up similar anti-chemtrail legislation, they turned to Dr. Joshua Horton, Senior Program Fellow for Geoengineering at the Harvard Kennedy School for answers.

IN THIS EPISODE:
If chemtrails aren’t real, why are they being banned?
Geoengineering and manipulating our weather explained.
The Chemtrail myths exposed!
What are contrails and what causes them?
Could geoengineering eventually reverse climate change?
Shady companies that make geoengineering claims.
The debate over geoengineering experiments explained.
Google-heim: Cows produce how much methane???

Dr. Spiegel has more than 40 years of clinical and research experience studying differing psychological disciplines, including hypnosis. He has used hypnosis since 1967, achieving and publishing results in more than 404 scientific journal articles, and 170 book chapters.

He is also the founder of Reveri, a self-hypnosis app.

How Hypnosis Is Changing Lives!

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/bbe041d6-7af2-4e32-9128-b1e7000b0702/transcript

We’ve all heard of The Nobel Peace prize and the Nobel Literature prize, Science, and Medicine prizes. Well, this episode has absolutely nothing to do with any of that!

But! If you come up with an idea that is an unusual or trivial or a bizarre achievement in scientific research, well then…we have an award for you. It’s called the Ig Nobel Prize, and anyone can win it, if their idea makes you laugh…and then… makes you think! Really, no really!

The Prize was created by today’s guest, Marc Abrahams who has awarded it annually since 1991. And the awards are handed out annually by genuine Nobel laureates, as they honor and celebrate the unusual, the creative and the imaginative… while also spurring people’s interest in science, medicine, and technology.

So be prepared to learn about woodpeckers and concussions, an unusual childbirth device and the importance of fish farts. That’s right… fish farts!

IN THIS EPISODE:
The unbelievable way Marc first became editor of a scientific magazine.
Amusing inventors & scientists doing obscure, yet noble things should be honored. Right?
The scientists who defied a Prime Minister and proved the impending submarine invasion was not happening.
Meet the guy who studied whether gonorrhea could be transmitted by sex dolls.
Colonoscopy researchers won the Ig Nobel twice and performed a live on-stage demonstration you won’t believe.
The Blonsky centrifugal birthing device will defy your understanding of natural childbirth.
Why don’t woodpeckers get concussions and how that applies to football.
Your foot size to genitalia size ratio is… real?
Jason has some “genius ideas” he thinks should win an Ig Nobel.
The small but notable list of inventors who were killed by their inventions.
GOOGLEHEIM: Have any nobility won the Nobel Prize? Yep!

The Ig Nobel Awards Make You Laugh…Then Think

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/078c49ae-d1be-45fe-8da6-b1e000009bf9/transcript

Does your dog truly love you or are they faking it? A recent Newsweek cover story posed that very question and revealed that scientific research provides an answer! Really, no Really!

But can science really prove how your dog feels about you? Or for that matter, can it prove TRUE love, between animals or people? Fascinated by the scientific inquiry, Jason and Peter turned to Dr. Gregory Berns…the Distinguished Professor of Neuroeconomics at Emory University, and the scientist who conducted the actual “Love Research”, even going so far as using MRIs to discover what’s really going on in a dog’s brain!

Pet parents…prepare yourself for the truth!

IN THIS EPISODE:
So…do our dogs actually love us?
How the dog, hunting Osama bin Laden led to the first canine MRI.
Utilizing MRIs to determine dog’s true emotions.
Food and praise light up a dog’s brain reward center but is that love?
Dog racism? Alligator companionship? Cow love? Re-examining animal psychology.
Jason’s movie, Hachi: A Dog's Tale - a story of true dog love or just love for snacks?
Does our increasing understanding of animal capabilities impact how we treat them?
Eating or not eating the animals that have the capacity to love us.
What’s too cute to eat and our definitive take on cannibalism.
GoogleHEIM: The 3-year time window for certain types of dog lovers.
