Hardcore History
« on: September 22, 2014, 03:32:28 PM »
Does anyone else follow this podcast?  Dan Carlin has a kind of annoying AM DJ Let-Me-Tell-You-About-Life-Insurance sort of voice, but he's a good storyteller and focuses on some very interesting but often sadly neglected bits of history. He's working through WWI right now, but I really enjoyed his takes on the Punic Wars and the period after Alexander the Great's death.

In short -- Joe Bob gives it two thumbs up. Check it out!

Just want to put another plug in for this series of podcasts -- I listened last night to Episode 48 "Prophets of Doom" about Jan van Leiden and the Anabaptist takeover of the city of Munster.  What a story!  Blood and religion. Sex and communism. Torture and idealism. Martyrs and madmen... Gory, but riveting.

Time travel in the classic sense has no place in rational theory, but temporal distortion does exist on the quantum level, and more importantly it can be controlled.
