50) SAD

07/20/2021
Dr. Norman Rosenthal was the first to describe Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). What other practitioners once saw as stupid, is now a commonly known and treated mental disorder. Since describing this disorder, Dr. Rosenthal has then gone on to treat it through some pretty "wacky" methods. Light therapy, which is common practice now, was once...
Jacob Moth is the creator and founder of The Magic Garden. He participated in many high-profile seminars and learned from his two teachers; Jørgen Lumbye and Klaus Gormzen (each has an MSc in Psychology).

48) UFO

07/06/2021
UFOs seem to be the hit thing again with the government releasing- once classified- footage every day now.

He helped explain what this means, what has been going on, and what these...

Thousands of lives have already been taken, and countless atrocities have occurred, yet too many people are unaware of what is taking place in...

Her experiments take place two kilometers underground at one of the world's premiere astroparticle physics facilities: SNOLAB. We covered the physics...

42) Texas Jack

However, his is influence and legacy still lived long past him. I spoke with Matthew Kerns about the legacy of Texas Jack and his fame. After years of researching, writing, rewriting,...
