We have a special guest today! The third Glover brother is in the house! But, he didn’t even get his own microphone so… maybe he’s only half a guest. We start the show going over some listener comment and some stories about cancer-killing robots, a priest who predicted black holes and the new ElevenLabs app that lets you turn any document into an audiobook. The CS24 talk we cover today is by Paul Schatzkin who calls himself a biographer of obscure 20th century scientists. The talk covers Philo T. Farnsworth and T. Townsend Brown. Townsend Brown was a scientist who was pivotal in early electrogravitics. Farnsworth invented the cathode-ray tube and claimed to have come up with a fusion device. Schatzkin connects the work of these two to imagine that these technologies could have led to government developed anti-gravity craft. Is their work responsible for early UFO sightings?
