Strange Realm - Ep. 083 - Oct. 13th, 2024

We bring you an angular and augmented episode tonight as we discuss the strangest news in the whole wide world, including news that a military-grade encryption algorithm has been hacked by Chinese scientists using a quantum computer, the new science of "Orbitronics" gives promising results, as well as a report that archaeologists are too scared to open the tomb of China's first emperor, and we discuss the rune "Isa" and it's symbolism and meaning for divination. All of this and then after the break, we continue our reading series as Frobisher reads more from "Our Haunted Planet," by John A. Keel.
