 Are you ready to get EXCITED about SCIENCE??? Our dear friend Ben Dietzel is back on the podcast, and this time he's finally, definitely, for sure figured out what's going on with the earth. And actually the whole universe. Ben's got a bee in his bonnet about the Electric Universe theory, aka the Plasma Universe theory, aka the idea that the universe is extremely full of plasma and it's the reason for all the weird stuff that happens that science can't quite explain. Is plasma the reason that galaxies look like that? Does plasma account for the north pole? And what is this metaphor of Alexis' with the hair and the marble? All these questions and more will be answered on this extremely smart and well explained ep.

The Electric Universe Theory with Ben Dietzel

Once again, friend of the show Ben Dietzel has learned the error of his ways. First he thought the earth was hollow. Then he realized it was flat. Then he learned that not only is it flat, there are no actual forests! Yes, Brainy Boy Ben is back and he’s here to argue that the things we think of as trees are just pale bushy imitations of the real thing, trunks of which still dot the landscape. What do those real trees look like now? You’re just gonna have to listen to find out.

There Are No Trees with Ben Dietzel

The earth is flat. This is a fallacy believed by human beings throughout time, and without reason. And yet for all the things that make no goddamn sense about flat Earth theory, people persist in insisting that it is a disc, that gravity is fake, and that the moon and sun for sure don’t work like you think they do. People like this week’s guest, very funny comedian and open minded man Ben Dietzel.

Flat Earth with Ben Dietzel

You might think that the earth is solid all the way through, with different layers like a delicious baklava. But what if the earth is in fact hollow, like a sphere made of poptarts that are frosted on both sides? All these desserts and more come in to play in our fascinating discussion of the Hollow Earth theory. Stand-up comedian and improviser Ben Dietzel makes the case that the middle of the earth is not solid, but is actually the location of the land called Agartha, home of gentle giants and futuristic space craft. It's a very silly good time, and it's sure to make you hungry, so listen with a snack!
