Summary

Crystal balls, ominous prophecies, and scientific predictions abound in this week's episode of The What If? Podcast. We're joined by the superhomie Conrad Schoenleber, as we talk about predicting the future, in all the ways that we as humans try to figure out what's coming. Get ready for a big dose of oracles, seers, savants, soothsayers, and more. Spencer tells us about the blind oracle Baba Vanga, Ryan talks about J.W. Dunne, and his experiments with time, and Conrad schools us on all things nerdy.

Hot Topics: The Baba Vanga Venga Boys, What Happened To Miss Cleo?, If I Only Had Some Eyes, Predicting 9/11, Nastradamus, Don't Ask The Robot, Billy's Got The Juice, Space Apples, Ray Kurzweil
