The Keepers of Time : Beyond Belief – Episode 24

The Keepers of Time : Beyond Belief – Episode 24

What year is it? What is the date? The time? These are questions that we are all supposed to know, the answers are supposed to be universal worldwide! We live by the calendar. It tells us when to work, when to celebrate, when history supposedly happened—and even what year it is. But the calendar isn’t some untouchable law of nature. It’s a human invention, revised, corrected, broken, patched, and politically rewritten over thousands of years. Empires adjusted it. Popes re-engineered it. Astronomers argued over it. Entire civilizations lost days, gained months, or reset the count altogether. So tonight, we’re peeling back the paper we’ve been obediently flipping since childhood. Where did our calendar come from? Why was it changed? Who decided what year it was—and who benefited from that decision? And here’s the uncomfortable question we’re not supposed to ask: What year is it really? If the calendar has been altered, restarted, and corrected multiple times in recorded history, by what standard could we ever be certain we’re living in the year we think we are?

Sci-Fi Facts and Fiction : Beyond Belief – Episode 23

Humanity has always dreamed of bending space with warp drives, harnessing the power of entire stars with Dyson Spheres, and carrying  the heart of the sun in our pockets with portable fusion generators.  These ideas fuel novels, movies, and our imaginations—but the cold truth is, most of them are still out of reach. Why? Energy. Physics doesn’t bend just because we want it to, and the staggering power requirements for these technologies make them more fantasy than engineering—for now. Welcome to Beyond Belief. Today we explore: The Tech That Isn’t (there)Yet—a place where science fiction meets the hard boundaries of physics. In this show, we’ll dive deep into the feasibility of some of sci-fi’s boldest inventions, and also actual upcoming inventions, separating what’s theoretically possible from what’s flat-out impossible under today’s science. We’ll ask tough questions, confront hard limits, and explore whether breakthroughs in energy could one day move these dreams from fiction into fact. Because the future isn’t just about imagination—it’s about what the laws of the universe will actually allow.

Points and Miles – Zero to Hero : Beyond Belief – Episode 22

There’s a hidden world most travelers never see… a world where the ticket to Paris isn’t bought, but given to you by generous benefactors . Where a luxury hotel key may suddenly appear in your hand without a single charge to your card. And where the most valuable currency isn’t dollars or euros… but points and miles, quietly collected and transformed into first-class adventures. Even if you’ve never done much traveling, I’m sure you’ve seen some of your friends pictures and posts on social media showcasing the exotic destinations that they were visiting and you may have wondered how they did this? After all travel is crazy expensive right? While some people may have money to burn, many use a strategy called Points and Miles or Travel Hacking. Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on a secret map — one that connects everyday purchases to exotic escapes. We’ll explore the quiet loopholes in the banking system, the hidden alliances between airlines and credit card companies, and the strategies that turn the uninitiated into globe-trotting insiders. If you think travel hacking requires secret codes or is just for the rich… you’re about to discover just how wrong you are and how easy it can be to jump into a world of free (or heavily discounted) travel.

Temples, Tesla, and Thunderbolts: Beyond Belief Ep 21

Ancient energy weapons – Were they myth? Misinterpreted religious relics? Or actual advanced technologies lost to time? Across ancient texts, from the Sanskrit Mahabharata to biblical accounts of divine fire and the Ark of the Covenant, we find cryptic descriptions of weapons far too advanced for their time—devices capable of emitting light, sound, heat, even destruction from a distance. The ancient Greeks wrote of thunderbolts forged by gods, while depictions in Egyptian and Mesopotamian carvings show what some claim to be handheld “rods of power.” But here’s the kicker—what if these weren’t just poetic exaggerations? What if these so-called “mythological” tools were real, and were wielded not just in war, but as tools of population control? Were these weapons handed down by higher beings, reverse-engineered from alien tech, or remnants of a pre-cataclysmic advanced human civilization? And more importantly—if such devices existed, did they elevate humanity… or enslave it? Today, we’re going to examine the evidence, explore the theories, and follow the arc from speculation to consequence. Because if ancient rulers had access to weapons of light, sound, and vibration, you can bet your last coin they weren’t using them just for fireworks. So buckle in, open your mind, and ask yourself: if technology advanced enough is indistinguishable from magic… are we looking at forgotten science—or a forgotten tyranny?

Tartarian Tales : Beyond Belief Ep 20

Today, we’re digging into the dirt of our past, challenging the narratives we’ve been fed, and asking the uncomfortable questions that mainstream history often ignores. You know the old saying: history is written by the victors. The conquerors, the powerful, the ones who stand triumphant on the battlefield of time – they’re the ones who get to craft the story, shaping our understanding of who we are and where we came from. But what if there’s more to the story? What if entire chapters have been ripped out, whitewashed, or buried under layers of… well, mud? That’s right, today we’re going deep into the enigmatic and often mind-bending theory of Tartaria – a lost civilization, an empire erased from our collective memory. We’ll explore the tantalizing evidence of advanced technology in a supposedly primitive past, the bizarre architectural anomalies that defy conventional explanations, and the unsettling idea of “mud floods” that may have literally swallowed cities whole, burying a forgotten history beneath our feet. Are these just wild fantasies, or is there a systematic effort to conceal a grander, more complex human story? Join us as we sift through the rubble of the past, connect the dots, and try to reconstruct a history that might be far more incredible, and far more suppressed, than you ever imagined. This is Beyond Belief, and it’s time to question everything.” Listen to the podcast for Ep 20 here. ---------------------------------------- Show Notes and Links: [https://beyondbeliefradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/mappemonde-1450.jpg?w=400]https://searchworks.stanford.edu/view/rj936rb9983 (Composite map) Mappemonde dress es en 1450 [https://searchworks.stanford.edu/view/rj936rb9983] – 4K resolution map zoomable.
