Episode 43
Ultima Thule (Episode 29) - The Great Beyond (Part 3)
In this final episode of Ultima Thule we return to ancient Greece, where the term Thule first originated, and learn about their origin story of the Universe and how it compares to what we know about the Universe today. We then consider the concept of Ultima Thule through time and how people viewed the existence of the Earth, Moon, Sun, and stars from ancient Egypt to the Catholic Church. We make sure to pay homage to quality science and how it helped us reach our modern view of the Universe and give a final warning of the pseudoscience constantly attempting to creep in around the edges. What do we do with the knowledge that we have now that we are sitting upon the shoulders of giants upon giants? What if we don't like what we know? How do we try and grapple with what the science implies about the future of the Universe? I end this book with a little-known quote from The Christian Remembrancer about time and space.(29/29)
