Cabinet of Science & Fiction

Are history books hiding the truth about humanity's past? In this episode, we explore The Morning of the Magicians (Le Matin des Magiciens) and The Rebellion of the Magicians (La Révolte des Magiciens)—seminal works by Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier that pioneered the genre of "fantastic realism" and challenged conventional narratives of civilization, science, and esoteric knowledge.Were there pre-flood civilizations? Could alchemy, sacred geometry, or even extraterrestrial contact explain these

Buried beneath layers of rock—and layers of skepticism—lie artifacts that shouldn’t exist. Ancient footprints pressed into stone millions of years before humans evolved. Sophisticated tools hidden in strata that predate our earliest ancestors. Skeletons that defy the timeline of evolution. These are the ‘Out of Place Artifacts’ (OOPArts), and they challenge everything we think we know about human history. Yet, many researchers who present such findings face ridicule, rejection, and even professional

Could the alchemists’ coded manuscripts still hold undiscovered wisdom? Or was their ‘gold’ always metaphorical—a light hidden in plain sight?Despite its reputation for charlatanry, alchemy laid groundwork for modern chemistry. But why did so many brilliant minds insist its secrets were real?Alchemy is often dismissed as a pseudoscience—a mystical dead end on the road to modern chemistry. But what if its true purpose was never just about turning lead into gold? In this episode, we explore alchemy’s

What if free, limitless energy was possible a century ago? Short but deep dive into the explosive story of Dr. T. Henry Moray, the forgotten genius who built a machine that tapped into the universe’s hidden vibrations—radiant energy—using plasma tubes, radioactive materials, and a mysterious germanium valve that defied physics. Uncover his battles against scientific ridicule, corporate suppression, and even assassination attempts that forced him to abandon his revolutionary device. Was Moray a

In this short but deep dive episode, the historical development of quantum theory is briefly explored. Key phenomena such as the photoelectric effect, Rutherford's nuclear atom, and Compton scattering are described, highlighting wave-particle duality and the principle of superposition. It also delves into the dark mysteries and perplexities that emerged, such as the measurement problem and the introduction of probability, along with later developments like quantum tunneling, quantum statistics,

In this episode, we continue discussing Zecharia Sitchin's theories, focusing on the Earth Chronicles saga and his book "Genesis Revisited". In this book, he explores the idea that modern scientific discoveries are confirming ancient knowledge. He argues that ancient texts, particularly Sumerian records, describe advanced extraterrestrial beings—the Anunnaki—who played a role in shaping human civilization.

In this episode, we explore the broad influence of Isaac Asimov on global science fiction, highlighting his impact on contemporary authors and different regions of the world. We provide a synopsis of the original Foundation trilogy, detailing the premise of Hari Seldon, Psychohistory, and the crises faced by the Foundation. Additionally, we examine Apple TV+'s ambitious adaptation—discussing how the series expands (and diverges) from Asimov’s books, its bold narrative choices, and whether it

Join us for a short but deep dive into the controversial yet fascinating world of Dr. Rupert Sheldrake—a biologist and author whose radical theories challenge mainstream science. We explore his groundbreaking (and often debated) concept of morphic fields and morphic resonance, the idea that nature’s habits and memory shape reality itself. Perfect for fans of: Carl Jung’s collective unconscious, David Bohm’s implicate order, or anyone who asks, “What if science is missing something BIG?”
