In this episode, we look at the magic that can happen at the intersection of music and language— magic so powerful it may have played a role in bringing down the Soviet Union. As Edgar Yipsel Harburg said, "Words make you think a thought. Music makes you feel a feeling. A song makes you feel a thought.”

China's Loess Plateau was anciently a lush area. But as more people made it their home, the demand for resources grew. Over the course of thousands of years, aggressive farming and overgrazing stripped away the vegetation almost entirely. This lead to severe soil erosion and eventually turned the Loess plateau into basically a denuded desert.In the mid 1990s, Chinese and foreign scientists and civil engineers surveyed this area to see if anything could be done to restore the land. The project that followed has implications for much of the planet.

The Hubble Space Telescope was a game-changer, letting humankind peer back in time and tease mind-stretching secrets from the cosmos. But the James Webb Space Telescope—scheduled for launch into space later this year—promises to allow us see even further back. While Hubble was able to see what you could call toddler galaxies, the JWST will be able to look back 13.5 billion years and see infant galaxies—the first ones ever formed. It is expected to rewrite our astronomy textbooks in ways that we can’t yet even imagine.
UPDATE: NASA announced on June 1 that while it had been working toward an October 31, 2021 launch date, it will be delayed by a few weeks and instead take place in November or early December.

Life is full of defaults. Many of them are so entrenched they are hard to even recognize as optional. "Few, indeed, ever stop to ask themselves in retrospect how they came to accept the beliefs that have found lodgment in their minds," the late Mr. Herbert Armstrong observed this in his book Mystery of the Ages. This episode takes a look at some of the defaults of life, and why we are prone to leave them unquestioned.

“I am a friend of Plato, and a friend of Aristotle, but truth is my greater friend.” These are words from a personal notebook of Sir Isaac Newton, written when he was around 20 years old. With these words, he was proclaiming a revolutionary decision to search beyond the boundaries of classical teachings to understand the biggest questions about the world and universe. Proverbs 25 in the Bible says it is the honor of kings to search out the things that God has concealed. In Newton’s search to understand various baffling aspects of the creation, he proved to be regal. And his search and his work made a momentous difference in the world.
