#70: The New Earth Sized Telescope / Podunk Polymath The Cellar Door Boys are sciencing hard this week with the upcoming unveiling of the new telescope that is as big as the EARTH. Aiming this monstrosity at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is the first order of business and it may result in the first direct sighting of the Event Horizon around a supermassive black hole! We are also talking with our friend Chris Watson who is the giant brain behind the Podunk Polymath Podcast. And the final segment will be a panic riddled “how to” survival guide for the pending market crash. #MarketCrash #Recession #Depression #blackholes #telescopes #podunkpolymath Subscribe: http://www.spreaker.com/user/cellardoorskeptics Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CellarDoorSkeptics RSS Feed: https://www.spreaker.com/user/8326690/episodes/feed iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/cellar-door-skeptics/id1044088575?mt=2&ign-mpt=uo%3D4 Website: http://cellardoorskeptics.com Stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/c
