In this episode of Mind Matters, Marcell Foti shares his groundbreaking Natron Theory, challenging conventional explanations for the construction of ancient megalithic structures. Foti, an IT professional turned independent researcher, proposes that ancient civilizations used a chemical process involving natron—a carbonate mineral used in ancient Egypt for mummification and as a detergent—to etch and dissolve granite into a moldable "waterglass" slurry, which could then be cast into precise stone shapes. Demonstrating with small-scale experiments, he explains how this method accounts for the seamless, complex features of structures like those in Peru and Egypt, offering a compelling alternative to traditional theories of chiseling. Follow Marcel’s ongoing experiments and insights on Twitter and check out his book, The Natron Theory, for a deeper dive into this revolutionary idea.

In this episode of MindMatters, Hurley shares his journey into UFO research, sparked by reading Above Top Secret as a teenager, and his subsequent disillusionment with contradictory and overly optimistic narratives in ufology. With a focus on physical evidence over speculative theories, Hurley discusses disturbing topics like abductions, animal and human mutilations, and missing persons cases, emphasizing the need for transparency and caution regarding non-human intelligences.

Today MindMatters welcomes back John Carter to talk Cixin Liu's Three-Body Problem, science fiction in general, and to compare NHI theories. Do UAP represent extraterrestrials putting on a show to appear more advanced than actually are? Or super-advanced ultraterrestrials who may have their own weaknesses? What is the possible connection between tech and psi? And would humanity actually unite in the case of an ET threat, as Ronald Reagan so endearingly believed?
