When Cascadia Wheezes and the Cosmos Hacks Reality
Season 1 · Episode 8
The ground is clearing its throat again—and history warns it can scream. We open with a six-week swarm of 400+ microquakes rattling the Cascadia Subduction Zone, slip-and-hiss tremors off Crete, and Campi Flegrei’s thousand-quakes-in-May reminder that supervolcanoes don’t retire.
Early-warning sensors, classroom drills, and go-bags show how communities wrestle tail-risk into readiness. Then we swap tectonics for time loops: laser-pulse experiments teasing closed timelike curves, multiverse debates that turn every quantum fork into another reality, and global population forecasts whose error bars could bankrupt—or save—whole nations.
Tonight hits the fringe at full throttle: a livestream “confession” murder that might be satire, a daylight Bigfoot sighting with hair samples under the microscope, and offices haunted by the ghosts of outsourced labor (or just coffee-machine glitches).
Finally, we plunge into four apocalyptic blueprints—Chan Thomas’s pole flip, Hapgood’s ice-torqued crust, Thornhill’s Electric Universe, and Talbott’s Saturn sky-totem. We separate data from doomsaying, land on the real hazards hiding in plain sight, and leave you with one mantra: curiosity without preparation is just bait for the algorithmic abyss.
