Summary

Archer Finley joins us again, this time from afar, for a continued discussion of Tesla's wireless transmission project and to answer questions that episode generated from listeners (and us).

This leads to a discussion of one of Tesla's other projects, "Telegeodynamics", or, the transmission of mechanical energy through the body of the earth....also sometimes referred to as "the earthquake machine".

Then we read an article sent by a listener about a project to understand what kinds of long-term geological signatures might be left on a planet by an advanced civilization, and how we might look for these kinds of signatures in earth's geological history, and how this could help us find signatures of advanced civilizations on distant exoplanets.

This leads into a discussion of the current state of the search for exoplanets, what astronomers are finding, and what this data implies about the actual number of planets out there in the universe.

We also discuss the concept of an astronomical "standard candle", also known as a Type 1a Supernova, the standard model theoretical process by which these events happen, and how modern astrophysicists and cosmologists used them to measure the expansion rate of the universe, which lead to the concept of "dark energy".

We end the show with a special bonus segment where we talk about large resonant systems, and how they tend to want to synchronize the component parts, and how this possibly applies to Velikovsky's ideas.

Also it explains pyramids.

0:00.0	Tesla, astrophysics, and the Standard Candle.
0:07.6	You're listening to Brothers of the Serpent podcast.
0:19.6	And welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,
0:23.0	angels and demons and lots of the serpents,
0:24.2	two brothers of the serpent podcast,
0:26.3	coming to you not live from the 10 by 10 by 10 tangent cube of science,
0:31.2	nestled amongst the dusty bones of an ancient seabed,
0:34.7	high atop the Edwards Plateau.
0:36.9	So we're using our emergency backup podcasting day Thursday.
0:42.3	Because on Wednesday, the day that we normally record these days,

0:59.0	On Tuesday I was feeding the bees.
1:01.0	So out at the orchard slash vineyard, we do have some beehives.
1:06.0	I don't know how much we've talked about that, but I try to follow the philosophy of leave the bees alone as much as possible.
1:15.0	That's what I've been told by the good beekeepers that I know.
1:18.1	They're like, these bees know more about beekeeping than you ever will, so leave them alone as much as you can.
1:22.6	But it is fall going into winter here, or it is winter.
1:27.1	And we've placed their hives in a place that they
1:29.0	didn't pick so yeah yeah so uh feeding them is a good idea and uh so i was going to check on
1:36.8	the food levels and it was a windy day right and so normally i would use a smoker and kind of that calms them down. But it was
1:47.8	windy and I couldn't find the smoker anyway. So I had to go check the food levels because the
