Terrifically popular science fiction novel by renowned writer HG Wells, about a scientist discovering how to achieve invisibility. But, in his case, being out of sight evidently does NOT mean out of mind. (Summary by Cathy Barratt)

As we continue to live through a pandemic, all eyes are on microbes: an imperceptible and pervasive threat that hangs heavy on the air and clings to surfaces. But the reality of micro-organisms is far more diverse and life-sustaining than such a notion would have us believe.

Meet Dr. Eugene Lipov. His research and partnerships have led to an amazing discovery that all trauma has at its root a single piece of human hardware: the stellate ganglion. The symptoms of post-traumatic stress are the same for all of us, whether from childhood poverty or abandonment, the ravages of war, or the brutality of sexual assault. Dr. Lipov's pioneering procedure appears to treat injury to the stellate ganglion, relieving even the worst symptoms of PTSD—irritability, hypervigilance, insomnia, and more—in a fifteen-minute treatment.

It dawned on me one day that most of the scare stories in the media today are based on things that are either invisible, like CO2 and radiation, or very remote, like polar bears and coral reefs. Thus, the average person cannot observe and verify the truth of these claims for themselves. They must rely on activists, the media, politicians, and scientists - all of whom have a huge financial and/or political interest in the subject - to tell them the truth.

Own the room with this hilarious collection of fact-tastic myth-busters and jaw-dropping trivia exploring science, history, sport and lesser-known facts from across the universe.

What can't 60% of the human population smell? And what on earth is rhinotillexomania? And the big one . . . are farts actually invisible? The answers to these questions are all here.

What is the universe made of? How do we know? And what don't we know yet? Over the last 60 years, scientists around the world have worked together to explore the fundamental constituents of matter and the forces that govern their behaviour. The result so far is the Standard Model of elementary particles: a theoretical map of the basic building blocks of the universe. A Map of the Invisible is an explorer's guide to the Standard Model and the extraordinary world of particle physics.

Our most recent scientific theory states that 99 percent of the multiverse is invisible to us. In fact, every current physics textbook makes this claim. Therefore, if only 1 percent of the multiverse is visible to us, the question becomes: When you view yourself in a mirror, are you truly seeing 100 percent of yourself...or just 1 percent? Best-selling author Ishan Rami is joined by Dan Howe to answer this question and more in their new audiobook: Your Invisible Body and the Quantum Universe.

9 Episodes - French and English. Marianne Williamson nous dit que « notre peur la plus profonde n'est pas de ne pas être à la hauteur. Notre peur la plus profonde est que nous sommes puissants au-delà de toute mesure ». Elle suggère que nous sommes souvent effrayé.es par notre propre potentiel, car cela implique la responsabilité et la possibilité de réussir au-delà de nos attentes. Mon interprétation de ce qu’est cette « puissance au-delà de toute mesure » est que chacun de nous peut choisir de devenir l’auteur.e de sa vie, en se libérant de ce qui l’entrave et l’...
