Summary

What's a show about fringe science, alternative cosmologies, ancient mysteries, and snakes without some good ole' Chinese Dragons surfing the enormous Universe-Waves of the Cosmic Æther while Thunderbolts of the Gods flash between planets/stars/galaxies keeping those islands of light and warmth energized as oases against the Stygian Darkness of the in-between, where nothing is, yet from whence all nightmares come; without Pyramids as Catalysts for a gold-dust Tesla-inspired Supershield against the catastrophic chaos of intra-solar gravito-electric regime-change and shifting plasma sheaths of suns, without the ponderous zodiacal Wheel of Time spinning backward in prediction of all things future?

Nothing, that's what.

But this show, ladies and gentlemen, delivers.

'Nuff said. Enjoy.

Pics because it happened. Below is a selection from the Arp Catalogue of Peculiar Galaxies:

Plasma forms that ancient man may have seen in the skies. The one on the left in particular may be the origin of the "crouching shaman" shape below.

More plasma forms

Ancient Chinese Seismoscope. The spheres held in the dragons' mouths would drop into the mouths of the frogs, indicating the direction of an earthquake.

Seismoscope was invented by this guy, who probably only invented things like seismoscopes in his spare time away from being a wispy bearded kung fu badass.

The Carolina Bays

This sizable bay is referred to as "Grass Lake" by the indigenous suburbanite natives in the area

0:00.0	Welcome to Brothers of the Serpent podcast, also known as Snake Bros.
0:11.9	Snigros! And welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, angels and demons, and monsters, and
0:24.6	serpents to Brothers of the Serpent podcast coming to you not live from the 10 by 10 by 10 tangent
0:29.9	of science, nestled amongst the dusty bones of an ancient seabed high atop the Edwards Plateau.
0:37.1	It's pretty good.
0:37.9	The first thing I need to do is claim that I'm done.
0:40.4	From a couple of shows ago, we were talking about Redshift, and I said that Hubble was the
0:47.0	guy who made the catalog of galaxies, and that's false.
0:50.4	Hubble did point out that stuff with Redshift was wrong, but the guy who made
0:56.2	the catalog of strange galaxies is called, uh, something, ARP.
1:01.6	It's called the ARP catalog.
1:02.8	Halton ARP?
1:03.6	Yeah, Halton ARP.
1:04.7	Yeah.
1:05.1	It's called the ARP catalog of, uh, strange galaxies or whatever.
1:09.4	And like, it's actually really interesting to look through.
1:11.7	They use the Hubble telescope to look at every single one of those ARP galaxies, and there
1:17.5	are fantastic photographs of them online now that you can look at.
1:21.8	So I'll stick a couple of them in the show notes, some of the weirder ones, where they've, like,
1:27.4	one galaxy has basically blown through the center
1:30.7	of another one and blown it apart.
1:32.2	Like it's a bullet.
