Dr. Rudy Schild & Nick Cook \u2013 Challenging Old Theories","description":"For earlier one-on-one episodes with Nick see ep 207. With Rudy, see ep 179 , 186, 192, 195, 196, 204. Welcome back to Behind Greatness. This is the second of a series of talks where we host two luminaries in one conversation.  Nick - a prolific journalist and author - joins us from his home in the UK. Rudy - a preeminent astrophysicist \u2013 joins us from his place in Massachusetts. This is the first meeting between the two and as expected, it was a fun one. Rudy unpacks his groundbreaking work on black holes as finite, magnetic objects and the universe\u2019s outer edge, while Nick ties it to his consciousness research sparked by a shared death experience. Together, they explore: Is the universe a self-learning AI? Do UFOs shift our perception \u2013 or maybe have us remember? And is love the substrate of it all? How does reincarnation fit into all of this? Is there a feedback loop? From helical waves to quantum holograms, to plasmas and orbs, this mind-bending talk asks the big \u201cwhy nots\u201d and \u201cwhat ifs.\u201d Nick, Website: https:\/\/www.nickcook.works\/about-nick...
