Author Mark Booth, also known by his pen name Jonathan Black, returns to discuss his book The Secret History of the Universe, which argues that the founders of modern physics were often mystics, occultists, and spiritualists. He describes how pioneers like Wolfgang Pauli, Schrodinger, Heisenberg, and Marie Curie drew on Kabbalah, Rosicrucianism, Indian mysticism, and seances to make sense of the strange behavior of the quantum world. The conversation also covers synchronicity, the Green Children of Woolpit, the Jim twins, mathematical patterns as living 'thought beings,' and Booth's own childhood encounters with high strangeness.
