Get your DEMYSTICON 2024 tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/demysticon-2024-tickets-727054969987 Today we journey to the cosmic frontier with financial markets innovator and author Walter Cruttenden in this deep dive into his surprising astronomical theory, as presented in his books "Lost Star of Myth and Time" and "The Great Year Adventures with Tommy the Time Traveling Turtle." Cruttenden suggests an alternative explanation for the precession of the equinoxes, suggesting that our sun is part of a binary star system. We consider details of the axial procession, question existing models, and uncover the potential link between civilization cycles and solar cycles. Come along as we traverse the realms of cosmic mysteries, technological progress, and the desire to understand the mysterious celestial dance that could reshape our understanding of our solar system's journey through the cosmos.

When not talking to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time painting, reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Shilo also did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of molecular water. When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various universities. - Blog: http://DemystifySci.com/blog - RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rss - Donate: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaD - Swag: https://bit.ly/2PXdC2y SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/ - Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySci MUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671
