The main guest, Professor M.R. Franks, a law professor and lifelong cosmologist, presents his theory that the universe consists of an infinite number of static, frozen parallel universes through which consciousness moves at tremendous speed. He argues that prayer, voodoo, remote viewing, and mass consciousness all work by shifting awareness into alternate realities where desired outcomes already exist. Each universe differs from its neighbor by only one quantum transition, and consciousness selects the path through this lattice.
Franks contends that the strong anthropic principle ensures that each observer is effectively immortal in their own frame of reference, since there always exists a version of reality in which they survive. Art challenges him on the implications for tragedies like September 11th, and Franks maintains that the victims' consciousness continues in universes where the attacks never occurred.
Key Moments
Ed Dames: 11,500-year solar cycle and the 2005 kill shot: Major Ed Dames argues - in the immediate wake of the Halloween 2003 storms - that the sun runs an 11,500-year cycle that 'goes ballistic and fries the Earth,' that recorded history only goes back about 9,000 years for that reason, and that his team has remote-viewed a major event in the late spring or early summer of 2005.
How remote viewing the sun actually works: Pressed by Art on methodology, Dames describes the actual practice: rigorous remote-viewing sketches of the sun and Earth, a 'lava lamp glob' coming down toward Earth, then taking the data to a solar physicist to identify what the unknown structures might be.
Pole tilt, 2,000-foot waves, and where to be: Dames describes the eventual cascade: oscillating magnetic shield, both polar caps melting, the Earth wobbling like a poked gyroscope and re-establishing a new axis - a pole shift producing 2,000-foot waves and rearranged geography. He says only a few sanctuaries with fresh water will make it through.
Static universes, frames per jiffy, and consciousness: Professor M.R. Franks lays out his variant of the many-worlds interpretation: every possible universe exists as a frozen frame, ordered like colors on a wheel, and consciousness moves between them at one frame per 'jiffy' - millions of billions of trillions of frames per second.
How a witch in New Orleans actually kills with a spell: Asked point-blank how parallel universes explain a New Orleans woman casting a fatal spell, Franks gives a stark, specific answer: she does not act on the target - she moves her own consciousness into a static universe in which that person is already deceased.
