I'm Clyde Lewis and this is Ground Zero.

The numbers to call the night 503-2-25-860.

It's 503-2-50-860.

So I start talking about ghosts and talking about how science is reaching into the

paranormal a lot more lately and it got me thinking a little bit about what Carl Sagan said about the world and the earth and the universe itself.

He said that we live in a demon-haunted world and the only candlelight in the night or the candle light in the dark is science.

in applied technologies have shaped our culture and our lives.

But Demon Haunted World, that's actually a book that he wrote.

He writes that in order to break through all the paranormal paranoia or whatever you want to call it,

we need to drop the superstition, we need to drop the ignorance, we need to drop the pseudoscience, we need to pull away from mindless television but here's

the thing it doesn't matter how much science we have out there sometimes science can't

explain a lot of things. And I think that is why we have

that bridge with quantum physics is because, you know, here we have a crisis in science where you have a number of and I think it's because of this I mean I don't I don't know for sure you have a number of

sorcerers and magicians in high places all right and I'm

talking about in the groups like the World Economic Forum and the Council on

These are all projects that they sound like bizarre little rituals, right?
