Ep. 188: Eclipse: Twilight of Civilization?

Weapons of Meme Destruction

Just before the April 8, 2024 solar eclipse, the Northeastern United States was rocked by a 4.8 magnitude earthquake. The eclipse path and earthquakes across the U.S. are reminiscent of natural events that happened in the early 19th century, just on the eve of the War of 1812. Are recent events suggestive of another coming war—maybe war with Russia over Ukraine? Also, why of all days did the egg heads at CERN decide to fire up the large hadron collider on the same day as the solar eclipse? Was this a perfectly coincidental date picked at random or is there more to it than simple, dispassionate science? We discuss, you decide.
