Backyard Time Machine: The Time Travel Mystery of Mike “Mad Man” Marcum

Mike fired up the box and the lasers came to life.

The machine produced a small circular area of distortion. It was a vortex about eight inches across that looked like ripples above a fire.

This was unexpected.

Mike didn’t know what the vortex was or if it was dangerous. So he grabbed a sheet-metal screw and tossed it through the field.

It vanished.

Mike just stared and blinked and waited. The screw was just… gone.

So Mike powered down his machine and t...

504: DEEP DIVE: Simulation Theory - Evidence is Everywhere

PROOF THAT EVERYTHING - IS A SIMULATION (Including God)

Is this reality? Well, we're experiencing ... something right now so maybe the better question is: what is reality?

Could everything we see, everything we experience, everything that exists in our entire universe -- be artificial?

Supporters of Simulation Theory believe that not only is it possible that we're living in a simulation; it's likely.

And the more we look...

135: Göbekli Tepe and the Prophecy of Pillar 43 | Apocalypse and the Vulture Stone

We are the descendants of an ancient civilization; one which mastered technology, mapped the cosmos, and understood our relationship with the natural world.

Our ancestors traveled the world and built enormous structures. They scaled their creations into cities.

They shared a common governance and similar religious beliefs.
Our ancestors lived, as we do today, as a global society.

Around 14,500 years ago, this global superpower started to collapse.

We took the store backkkkkkk!!!!!!

Hello Why Fam!! 

Good Morning! Great news - we took the store back to manage ourselves. We felt distanced and unresponsive to the things you want. We had no clue how customer issues were being handled. We loved being able to throw a shirt or a mug up that people asked for on the After Files Lives and create a sense of community immediately. So we are back!!!

Head on over and check out the new items ... Gertie merch, some of your favorite episode artwork on me...

504: 20 And Back - The Super Soldiers Defending the Kuiper Belt

On April 7, 2016, the team running NASA’s New Horizons mission were waiting nervously. The spacecraft was about to enter the outermost reaches of our solar system.

They'd aimed toward Pluto. Which lives in a region of the solar system called the Kuiper Belt.

Just before arriving at the dwarf planet, the team noticed an object nearby. And it was acting very strange. This object, whatever it was, was spinning faster than everything else around it.

Too fast. Artifi...

503: DEEP DIVE: The Black Knight Satellite | Ancient Craft Watching us From Orbit

In 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1. It was the first satellite in Earth's orbit.

Or was it?

For over a hundred years, an object has been seen, heard and photographed by people all around the world. This object became known as the Black Knight Satellite.

The signals coming from the Black Knight Satellite have been decoded.

And if the translation is correct, it's been watching us for 13,000 years.

Let's find out why. View Post

502: Gravity is a Lie, Nothing is Real, the Universe is Electric

Since grade school, we’ve been taught that gravity is what keeps our feet firmly planted on the ground, but what if that’s all been a lie?

I'm not saying if you jump off a bridge, you fall up, instead of down. But what if Newton and Einstein were wrong and what *really* ties our universe together is not gravity, but electricity?

The Electric Universe Theory says that, instead of gravity, the universe's *true* attractive force comes from invisible electric currents that...

A bit of a delay...

Hey folks .... came into the studio early this morning and AJ looking like he has not slept at all.

He will know more as the day goes on, but we will have to cancel all of today's plans. 

AS SOON as I know - I will update with the time of the premiere. Looking at tomorrow afternoon. 

I personally feel like I am letting each of you down when I cannot find a  successful way to help AJ create the quality he wants within the time  he needs, in order to fulfil...

Premiere will be Tomorrow - Friday at 6pm PST!

Hello Why Files Fam -

We will be delaying the premiere to tomorrow at 6PM PST / 9pm EST

For Koi and above, we will hold a Live Hangout with AJ on Discord at 5:30pm PST tomorrow as well. (no AMA today, no morning hangout tomorrow at 9am)

This decision is SO HARD, because we know ya'll count on these on Thursdays - but AJ will simply not allow anything but the best version to air.

We hope to see you all there!

Love,

Victoria for TWF Team

Anyone care about 360?

Does anybody want to see the studio (or any kind of content) in 360? I know this is a niche thing, but some folks have asked for it. I've got a 360 camera so I could create a virtual walkthrough of our place if that's fun for you.

We could also live stream in 360. For example, some MMA events offer a 360 live stream where you sit next to Joe Rogan as he calls the fight. It's kinda fun. Maybe I set up the 360 camera next to me during the After Files? (Or next to Victoria's feet? 😎) Or...

131: Skyquakes, Upsweeps, Bloops and Sky Trumpets | Terrifying Sounds that Signal the End of the World

The Book of Revelation says the end of the world will be announced with the sound of seven trumpets. Each blowing of the trumpet brings a new apocalyptic event. After the seventh trumpet: armageddon.

For centuries, people have reported low-frequency hums, the crack of thunder on a clear day and the sound of cannon-fire in the middle of nowhere.

Mysterious sounds have been heard at the bottom of the ocean and in outer space. And they’ve been heard long before modern machines an...

Objects Out of Place, Out of Time - Volume 1

The story of the human race is a story of technology.

One of our ancestors created fire and passed that knowledge along to the next generation. Then the invention of the wheel. Then agriculture, a writing system, mathematics, space travel.

Within our story, empires rise and fall. Technology progresses. Civilizations are born and die. The human race continues to innovate.

All of our innovations are built on previous ones. There could be no aqueduct without the arch. There cou...
