In this episode, we explore two of the most mind-bending and controversial topics of our time: the nature of the cosmos and the truth behind so-called “contact.” These themes—drawn from Mark Gober’s books An End to the Upside Down Cosmos and An End to Upside Down Contact—take us straight into the heart of scientific assumptions, cultural conditioning, and what it really means to seek truth in a world built on inherited narratives.
Mark and I dig into why foundational claims about cosmology, physics, and even medicine may not be supported by direct evidence, and how easily our collective worldview can be shaped by unexamined premises. From the Big Bang, dark matter, and the globe model to NASA imagery, eclipses, and observational anomalies, we break down what can actually be verified—and what cannot. The goal isn’t to replace one belief system with another, but to follow a disciplined, evidence-based approach that challenges dogma on all sides.
We also explore why questioning these topics triggers such strong reactions. Mark explains how career investment, identity, compartmentalization, and cultural reinforcement keep people aligned with consensus models—even when contradictions are hiding in plain sight. The conversation moves beyond physics into consciousness, spirituality, and the possibility that confusion about where we live may be part of a much larger, long-running strategy to disconnect humanity from its inherent power. If you’re curious, skeptical, or simply hungry for deeper clarity in a world drowning in assumptions, this episode will challenge your perspective in the best possible way.
