one in their right mind would be

0:04

out here, which makes it the perfect

0:06

place to kill someone. Introducing

0:08

Hot and Deadly from ID, your podcast

0:10

for classic American true crime served with

0:12

a side of biscuits and gravy. On

0:15

each episode, you'll hear some of I .D.'s

0:17

most shocking stories of murder and betrayal,

0:19

from the mystery of a preacher shot

0:21

and killed by a bow and arrow

0:23

to a former prom queen gone missing

0:25

and found murder. Listen to Hot and

0:27

Deadly on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever

0:29

you get your podcasts. Russians

0:32

perfect time travel

0:34

and use it

0:36

with horrible results. And

0:40

then we take a look at an

0:42

interesting theory being proposed by

0:44

one of the internet's most

0:46

popular characters. Are we

0:48

on the verge of a dimensional

0:50

merge between the real and the fictional?

0:53

According to Chris Chan, we

0:55

are today on Dead Rabbit Radio.

1:02

Hey

1:04

everyone, welcome back to another

1:06

episode of Dead Rabbit Radio. I'm your host, Jason

1:08

Carpenter. I'm having a great day. I hope you guys

1:11

are having a great day too. A

1:13

while back I mentioned a Minecraft

1:15

server that may be available for people

1:17

who support the show via Patreon.

1:19

It actually, we've been beta testing it

1:21

for about the past week. Everything

1:23

seems to be going great. So I

1:25

want to give a thanks to

1:27

Bur... Burrito, two different people. Cantillians,

1:30

Irbardo, Gorgonzola,

1:33

Henshin -ki,

1:36

the King, DJA, and the Valeyard. They've

1:38

all been just hanging out on the

1:40

Minecraft server building stuff. So I'm

1:42

announcing it now. If you support the Patreon

1:44

at any level, you can play on the

1:46

Minecraft server with us. It's actually a lot

1:48

of fun. It's just we're in the middle of

1:50

this wilderness. We have a couple houses being

1:52

built slowly. So if you support

1:54

the Patreon at any level, you'll get

1:56

the IP for the Minecraft server, and

1:58

then I have to whitelist you, and

2:00

that's to prevent... Trolling and I'm gonna

2:03

say this to you guys if we

2:05

can behave ourselves on the Minecraft server

2:07

over at a period of time I will

2:09

look into reopening a discord

2:11

as well But baby steps

2:14

I can much more control activity

2:16

on a Minecraft server. I believe

2:18

it's pretty grief -proof right now

2:20

But if I can give we

2:22

can keep this going for a

2:24

while without any craziness and my

2:26

craziness threshold is quite high but If

2:29

we can keep this going without any craziness,

2:31

then we will look at reopening a

2:33

Discord server as well. But if you want

2:35

to support the show via Patreon, that's

2:37

great. Any level, you can get access to

2:39

the Patreon and I can whitelist you

2:41

and then you will be able to play

2:43

on the Minecraft server. Let's go ahead

2:45

and jump in to our first story for

2:47

today. And our first story is a

2:50

sequel to yesterday's story. However, if you missed

2:52

yesterday's story, Not a big deal because

2:54

the yesterday's story kind of talked about one

2:56

character involved in this and now we're

2:58

going on to another one. So if you missed

3:00

yesterday's episode, don't worry about it. It's a good

3:02

episode though. I recommend checking it out. We're headed to

3:04

Russia. We're headed back to Russia. We're going to

3:06

take the Dead Rabbit Robo. We got to get a

3:08

workout. We've just been sitting playing Minecraft all week. My

3:11

thumbs and my fingers work, but everything else

3:13

is atrophy. So let's get a Dead

3:15

Rabbit Robo. I will row. I will row.

3:17

You can kick back this time. Sip

3:19

some margaritas because I row us across the ocean. I need

3:21

to work out more than you do. we're going

3:23

back to the year 2001. And

3:25

actually, before we go back to year 2001, we're

3:27

going to row the rabbit rowboat to Russia, and

3:30

we're going to visit the

3:32

news offices of Pravda.

3:35

Now, Pravda is a Russian news

3:37

agency, and I'm going to put

3:39

the word news in quotes, and

3:41

I'm going to put the word agency in

3:44

Looking side to side nervously a

3:46

couple episodes ago. I talked about

3:48

Taz news agency They're the ones who

3:50

talked about the aliens walking around

3:52

the park and everything like that and

3:54

they're a fairly reputable major news

3:56

organization Pravda is a news

3:59

agency again quotes inside -to -side

4:01

look because while they do report

4:03

the news they Make stuff

4:05

up a lot too, and it's

4:07

really hard to tell the

4:09

difference. I learned my lesson back

4:11

like in the early 2000s

4:13

that when you read something on

4:15

Provda it probably was fabricated. But

4:17

you never know, right? You never know. Now

4:19

I went, so we're walking around the

4:22

Provda offices and they have just like

4:24

photos of Bigfoot that you actually see them

4:26

photoshopping for Shelton like taking a shot

4:28

at them. But then they also have photos

4:30

of just like... actual news events. They

4:32

have photos of the Islamic State like

4:34

taking over parts of the Middle East.

4:36

So very very bizarre place for us

4:39

to visit. Almost imagine if Mad Magazine

4:41

in New York Times merged into one

4:43

office, we have Provda. To go

4:45

a little bit of where we're headed, I'm

4:47

on the Provda website when I was

4:49

researching this and you know, you have little

4:51

like links, little links all over the

4:53

place and one of them was Anomalous Phenomenon.

4:55

So I'm reading this article about time travel.

4:58

In a haddle, it was in the

5:00

subject of anomalous phenomenon. I know you guys

5:02

are... I know you guys are impressed,

5:04

I can pronounce that word. And

5:06

I click on it, because I

5:08

go, oh, there's maybe more interesting

5:10

articles that Pravda has written about anomalous

5:12

phenomenon. I click on it, the first

5:14

article that pops up on the an...

5:17

Dang it! The first article that pops

5:19

up on the anomalous phenomenon page. No

5:21

joke, as of doing this, this is

5:23

the first article that pops up. Commemoration

5:26

of International Women's Day.

5:29

So either they think

5:31

International Women's Day is anomalous

5:33

phenomenon, it ranks up there

5:35

with time travel and UFOs,

5:37

or they don't know the definition of

5:39

the word anomalous. But it's there, and

5:41

if you guys don't believe me, you click, you

5:43

can follow the links, you can click on it,

5:46

and it will pop up. And if it's still

5:48

not the first story, it'll be somewhere there on

5:50

the first page. But anyway, so that's kind of

5:52

the people we're dealing with here. Sorry, Pravda. Actually,

5:54

no, I'm not criticizing the other one who made

5:56

the website. You're the one who has this reputation.

5:58

The year is 2001, and

6:01

we are going to meet

6:03

a man named Vodem

6:05

Cherboborov. Vodem Cherboborov. Now, in

6:07

yesterday's story, he met

6:09

a time traveler Eugene Gayduck

6:11

from the future. And

6:14

then he said, Vadim, you're going to be instrumental

6:16

in building this time machine. He's like, I

6:18

have no idea what you're talking about. And Gayduck's

6:20

like, well, it's because it happens in the

6:22

future, dude. Like he haven't done it yet. And

6:24

Vadim's like, oh, yeah, yeah, you're right. Makes

6:26

sense. So now we're going to follow the supposed

6:28

adventures of Vadim. He is a real person.

6:30

He's done a lot of writing on, like, anomalous

6:34

phenomenon. He's kind of like a UFO

6:36

dude in Russia. But he's also

6:38

been linked to these time travel writings

6:40

and these particular time travel experiments.

6:42

The year's 2001. Vautum's hanging

6:45

out with his scientists, dudes. And

6:47

he's like, hey, you know what,

6:49

guys? We meet you, yeah, you over there, yeah,

6:51

you, hey, put the coffee down. Nah, nah, you can hold

6:53

it, it doesn't matter. But you two, we're gonna build

6:55

a time machine. And everyone's like, yay. And

6:57

so they build the time machine. Now,

7:00

it's really interesting that they go simply

7:02

from the concept to actually creating it,

7:04

but... They had to not tell people

7:06

they were building a time machine because

7:08

they figured it would fall under

7:10

the wrong hands. Which makes sense. This

7:12

is a quote from Pravda. This

7:14

the exact phrases from Pravda. Apparently they

7:16

are working at a place called

7:18

the Moscow Aircraft University. So it's basically

7:21

like... I wouldn't mind going there. Planes

7:23

walking into classrooms. All the classes are

7:25

held in giant hangers. You

7:27

have to fly in there. I don't know. There's a

7:29

dead joke. It's stupid. Anyways, it's called Moscow Aircraft University.

7:31

No jokes. This is the funny part. I don't have

7:33

to make this joke. This is the funny part. This

7:36

was the quote in the Provedo article. When

7:38

asked what the scientists were building, here's

7:41

this quote, quote, to keep the

7:43

machine secret, we marked

7:45

it as a beaver rat

7:47

trap. Now,

7:50

here's the thing. I'm walking through

7:52

Moscow Aircraft University, and

7:55

I see a weird looking device in the corner of the

7:57

room. And I go, hey, what's that? And some guy goes,

7:59

ah, that's just a beaver rat trap. That's

8:02

gonna make me more curious to

8:04

one find out what a beaver

8:06

rat is to how it works

8:08

and three Are there any beaver rats

8:10

in it? Like that would make that

8:12

would make you more suspicious. Hey, man. What's

8:14

that over there up? That's just a cotton

8:16

candy machine. What I'll do. Let's go

8:18

get some cotton candy No, no, no, you're gonna go back

8:20

in time like don't name it something

8:22

intriguing just say oh, that's

8:25

like a cardboard box disassembler. Yeah,

8:27

it's lame Where's your kind

8:29

of candy machine? They're like, oh,

8:31

that's a cross campus. I'm like, yay!

8:33

Running through Moscow Aircraft University. So

8:35

it's a beaver rat trap is what they call

8:37

in it. But this machine works.

8:40

We're going to assume everything probably said

8:42

is true for the further duration

8:44

of this narrative, okay? The

8:46

machine, the beaver rat trap slash

8:48

time travel device works.

8:51

It actually works. Vadim

8:53

and the scientists get it to work. It's

8:55

not a beaver rat trap, they announced

8:57

it. This time machine 100 % works,

8:59

but it has a very, very

9:02

interesting flaw to it. It

9:04

moves you through time,

9:06

but it only moves parts

9:08

of your body through different

9:10

parts of time. So,

9:12

they start off, they first off, they're gonna test

9:14

it, right? They don't use it on a beaver rat.

9:16

They get some cockroaches. They put the cockroaches in

9:18

it, Turn it on and...

9:23

All the cockroaches are dead. They're

9:25

like, oh, okay, that's interesting. Let's

9:28

see what killed them. Start doing little

9:30

dissections to peel the top of the shell

9:32

off. Doogie Houser music is playing while

9:34

they're poking it with little metal. What

9:36

they figured, not metal, they used some like

9:38

medical tools. What I'm saying, they're not using shards

9:40

of steel. What it is,

9:42

is that like their eyeballs went

9:45

100 years into the future. So

9:47

their eyeballs would have aged 100

9:49

years. while the... I don't

9:51

know if cockroaches have livers, but for the sake

9:53

of this they do, their livers

9:55

go back in time 30

9:57

years. And their tummy

9:59

goes forward in time 10 seconds, stuff

10:01

like that. So it teleports parts of

10:03

you into the future, parts of you

10:05

get older or younger as if they

10:07

were going back in time. Then

10:10

they go, let's fix this machine,

10:12

because we have something here. We

10:14

have cockroach with under -near -old eyes,

10:16

30 -second old stomach and a liver.

10:18

30 years ago. So they go

10:20

fix it. Fixing it. And then

10:22

they go, it's all fixed. Let's throw some

10:24

mice in it. Throw mice in it. Open

10:29

it up. All the mice

10:31

are dead. And it's the same

10:33

thing. Body parts of the mice are

10:35

aging at different rates. Now you're

10:37

saying that's technically not time travel. Like

10:39

time travel is traveling in time.

10:41

But their organs are traveling. In

10:43

time, but they're like still it's not

10:45

like they're a long it disappeared just they

10:48

had had a long as if they'd

10:50

lived 30 years So they're on to something

10:52

you got to give them that right

10:54

they're on to something so all the mice

10:56

are dead now. I got great silver

10:58

fix it Now here's the thing this one I

11:00

don't understand so you but kill a bunch of

11:02

cockroaches and you fix it Why don't

11:04

you test it on more cockroaches

11:07

just to see if you got the fix right instead

11:09

of moving up to mice? So the mice

11:11

die, you know where this is going? The mice die, they

11:13

fix it, and they go, we need to test it again,

11:15

and they go, do we have any more mice? And they're

11:17

like, yeah, we already did mice. Let's get a puppy. Now

11:20

don't freak out yet, don't

11:22

freak out yet, okay? They get

11:24

this puppy named this... They

11:26

get a puppy named Lunar Rover,

11:29

which makes me think in space there's

11:31

a puppy called Time Travel Machine, but

11:34

this... named Lunar Rover is put

11:36

into a time travel machine. They

11:40

open the

11:42

door. The puppy is alive.

11:44

Little Lunar is alive,

11:46

but suffered such a massive

11:48

brain damage. It starts

11:50

attacking him like it has rabies. And they're

11:53

like, well, back to the drawing board. And

11:55

they have to now they have

11:57

a rabie infected dog running

11:59

around their laboratory or

12:04

Labradori Okay, so anyways

12:07

Bring damage dog.

12:09

That's that's I guess it's really not

12:11

a joke. I tried forcing one of there Okay,

12:13

so anyway, so you've done that you killed a

12:15

bunch of cockroaches you killed a bunch

12:17

of mice you gave a

12:19

dog Time rabies through the portal

12:21

of time fix the machine. What's

12:24

next man? Vadom and eight

12:26

of his buddies crawl into

12:28

the time machine They're all

12:30

huddled close together. I imagine, I always imagine this

12:32

thing was quite small, but if you could,

12:34

if it could fit eight dudes, I mean, that's

12:36

like, that's like a lot of dudes to

12:38

fit into an enclosed area. So here they're

12:40

all, get in there. Why are you

12:43

still drinking your coffee? Put that down,

12:45

man. You've been drinking that this whole time. And they're all

12:47

squeezed in there. And then they realize, oh

12:49

wait, someone has to stand outside and turn it on.

12:51

I don't know how they figured that out. They

12:53

probably had the lame scientist outside. He's like, I want

12:55

to time travel too. They're like, yeah, yeah, you

12:57

can do it next time, dork. Hit the button. shut

12:59

the door on him so anyways

13:01

they hit the

13:03

button they get

13:06

out totally fine no

13:08

one has rabies no one's biting each other

13:10

unless he's really good at hiding it he's

13:12

like see you guys later i'm headed home

13:14

and he's driving home he's like i can't

13:16

wait to bite everybody at home but everyone

13:18

got out and was fine and what they

13:20

figured out was that

13:22

there was a three percent

13:25

time shift in the

13:27

device so I had to

13:29

look this up. 3 % of an

13:31

hour is like 1 .5 seconds or so.

13:33

And then my math could be wrong

13:35

on that, or Pravda's math could be

13:37

wrong on that. But apparently, from the

13:39

time they got into the machine to

13:42

the time that 8 men got out

13:44

of the machine, there was an additional

13:46

1 .5 seconds had elapsed in the

13:48

machine that didn't happen outside the machine.

13:50

So they traveled 1 .5 seconds into the

13:52

future, and they're like, yay, success, yay,

13:54

yay. Cockroach is like,

13:56

where's my parade? Where's the parade for

13:59

my people who died shaking his little fist

14:01

at them? The humans don't acknowledge them. They're

14:03

like, yay, we perfected time travel. There was

14:05

also a weird, you know, with Pravda,

14:07

you're gonna have translation errors as well. Even

14:09

though it is on the English website, there's

14:11

still some bizarre stuff on there. It

14:14

said there was changes in

14:16

the machine size. So

14:18

I don't know if it got bigger if

14:20

it transmuted in some sort, but anyways,

14:22

they didn't feel anything except for, quote, Moderate

14:25

arrhythmia, so that means

14:27

their heart rate increased, and

14:30

this colored circles in their

14:32

eyes. So it's not like they all came out with

14:34

backs into their eyes. They're like, oh, what happened? I

14:36

feel like it took a 1 .5 second nap. It

14:39

means that like they had like little

14:41

cool looking anime eyes for a

14:43

while. They might still, I don't know,

14:45

assuming again this story has any

14:47

truth to it. So, Vadim and his

14:49

buddies did build a time machine

14:51

like Gayduck had predicted. But that's

14:53

actually when people started

14:55

looking into what Vadim had done. It

14:58

turns out that

15:00

that's only the tip of the

15:02

iceberg. There were time machines built

15:04

in Russia long before Vadim,

15:06

but they had the unfortunate problem

15:08

of being invented underneath Joseph

15:10

Stalin, one of the world's most

15:12

brutal dictators. In 1952

15:15

Russia, Stalin was dead

15:17

by now, but his... I think he

15:19

was dead by now. It doesn't matter. Stalin's

15:21

shadow loomed long over a... Giant chunks

15:23

of the Soviet Union. It was not

15:25

a desirable place to be building time

15:27

machines in because here's the thing like

15:29

in the West you build a time machine

15:32

people go Would you kill Hitler? Would

15:34

you go back and kill Hitler?

15:36

Like that's kind of the go -to

15:38

question with time machine in Soviet

15:40

Union. They're like Hitler's dead We

15:42

have our own this horrible dictator

15:44

here and his horrible Apparatus he

15:46

set up if I could build a

15:48

time machine. I want to kill Hitler

15:50

I'd just go back in time and

15:52

stop the rise of the Soviet Union.

15:54

And so don't... You can't build those time

15:56

machines in the Soviet Union. Like, you

15:59

just couldn't do that, right? You couldn't build...

16:01

Any dictator worth their salt would try

16:03

to stop time travel because everything already

16:05

works for them. They're the dictator. They're

16:07

in charge. They don't really need to

16:09

go back in time and make themselves

16:11

more of a dictator. So anyone

16:13

in a... Communist controlled country there

16:15

will be no time travel because

16:17

people will immediately go let's go

16:19

back in time and make it

16:21

so I don't have to work

16:23

in the wheat fields so anyways

16:25

bad time to be a time

16:27

travel scientist 1952 Russia and here's

16:29

why according to Pravda there were

16:32

some sign this all came out

16:34

of Secret documents that got Found

16:36

apparently probably just a writer sci -fi

16:38

writer made them up, but again

16:40

according to Pravda these secret documents

16:42

were uncovered After the fall

16:44

of the Soviet Union, there were the scientists

16:46

working on a time machine, and they're like,

16:49

oh, we got this.

16:51

This might actually work. There's dead

16:53

cockroaches everywhere. We might be onto

16:55

something. KGB comes into

16:57

the laboratory, arrests everyone,

16:59

executes 18 college professors.

17:01

I believe that detail,

17:03

Pravda. KGB executes 18

17:05

college professors and 59

17:07

other students and professor

17:09

colleagues and stuff like

17:12

that. substitutes who just

17:14

it wasn't it was just their day

17:16

someone else called in sick sent to

17:18

work camps and all of the machinery

17:20

was destroyed but later

17:22

the program gets started back up and

17:24

this time it gets started back up

17:26

with government supervision because we're in the

17:28

year 1961 and they're like well you

17:30

know we're kind of losing the space

17:33

race maybe we can win the time

17:35

travel race but looking at all the

17:37

professors all the scientists no killing

17:39

Stalin No, no reversing the

17:41

Soviet Union, and they're like, yes, sir, everyone has

17:43

their fingers crossed. Build the time

17:45

machine, and they get some of the best

17:47

Russian time travel experts in the country,

17:49

all eight of them, because there's only eight

17:51

of them at the time. The eight

17:53

leading time travel researchers are working building this

17:56

machine, and then one day, people

17:58

go to work, like everyone goes home, buy eight

18:00

leading researchers, I'm just a guy who like mops

18:02

the floor, and they're like, see you later. He

18:04

goes home, comes back the next day. Building

18:07

is demolished, the building they're in

18:09

was demolished, and all of the

18:11

researchers are gone. And so

18:13

people go, oh, well, let's stall. Oh, stall

18:15

ends up, there's little tricks again, good thing

18:17

I went home early that day. But

18:19

the idea is the time travel

18:22

machine may have vanished them

18:24

all away. Building gets destroyed.

18:26

But again, if this story's true, it's most

18:28

likely the KGB just came in, shot everybody. Now

18:30

we're jumping up to the year 1987, so

18:32

we're near the end of the Soviet

18:34

Union. Things were pretty good. Gorbachev's

18:37

in charge, everyone's still afraid nukes

18:39

are gonna fall everywhere, but it's not

18:41

as bad as back then. And

18:43

the program gets started back up, which makes

18:45

sense because the Soviet Union knew that things

18:47

weren't going well for them. They're like, if

18:49

only we had some way of reversing time.

18:51

Again, no killing Stalin, but

18:53

if we could go back in time

18:55

and maybe... get a better version

18:57

of the Cuban Missile Crisis or we

18:59

could get more land in Germany

19:01

or something like that, we could be

19:04

in a better position. So you

19:06

can start building this time machine again.

19:08

Scientists were like, yes, start building

19:10

the time machine in 1987, August 30th,

19:12

1989. Boom. There

19:18

was a massive explosion

19:20

on the Anju Islands. This

19:23

is where this laboratory was where they were

19:25

working on this new time machine. The

19:27

time machine was like 760

19:29

tons. It was this

19:31

massive device, completely gone, as

19:34

well as two square kilometers of

19:36

the island that it was situated

19:38

on. Just a massive explosion just

19:40

ripped through the island. Don't

19:42

try looking that up on Wikipedia. It

19:45

didn't happen, but anyways, there would

19:47

be a trip if that actually happened,

19:49

but... I would bet dollars to

19:51

donuts. It didn't happen. But anyways,

19:53

and again, we're back in the

19:55

fictional universe. The Russian scientists are like, what

19:57

happened? All my stuff was there. I left

19:59

my lunchbox there that day. Oh no, it's

20:01

gone. And the working

20:04

theory is that the time

20:06

travel device opened up a...

20:08

Portal in time. This is hilarious. This

20:10

is the perfect way to end this

20:12

story. I know this has been a

20:14

long one, but the portal of the

20:16

device is so funny. Okay, you finally

20:18

get a working time machine built. KGB

20:20

is not assassinating you anymore. It's

20:22

not killing cockroaches. You

20:24

build a time machine and

20:27

in this, scientifically makes sense. A

20:29

time machine If it disappeared

20:31

from our time and went into

20:33

another time, there is a

20:35

brief period where there is a

20:37

doorway open between the two

20:39

points in time, right? So

20:41

it's not like you blink out of existence. I mean,

20:43

this is all theoretical, but you blink out of

20:45

existence and you appear in their timeline. It

20:47

would be the same thing when I open a door

20:49

and leave my living room into my bedroom. And

20:52

no matter how fast I shut the door,

20:54

it could be a millisecond. I can't pass through

20:56

it without something being opened there. The

20:58

working theory is this. They got

21:00

a time machine to work. They teleported

21:02

in. This is

21:04

so funny. You build

21:06

a time machine. It's your life's work. You

21:09

activate it. You go to the...

21:11

This is the theory. They went

21:13

to a precise point where a

21:15

meteorite struck Earth. And

21:17

so when the time travel... I guess if

21:19

you're going to the future, you don't really

21:21

know, but the time travel machine opens

21:23

up a portal right when a

21:25

giant asteroid was hitting the planet.

21:27

And what happened was the time

21:29

machine did go into the future,

21:32

but the asteroid, the impact

21:34

of all that energy

21:36

smashed into our reality and destroyed

21:38

these islands. I should have

21:40

looked up and see if there was ever an explosion there. Hold on a

21:42

second. So I just spent

21:44

about five minutes looking at the only

21:46

reference I could find this is kind of

21:48

what I figured the only reference I

21:50

could find to a massive explosion on those

21:52

islands is Basically either from copy

21:54

pasted from the article involving

21:57

this story or it involves

21:59

a time travel story in another way

22:01

So I don't think it happened I looked around

22:03

a bit watch out because I was I

22:05

went to a web first website I went to

22:07

defeated my ad blocker and it was a

22:09

bunch of pop -ups That's honestly what took me

22:11

so long But it was just a second, because

22:13

I edited it like time travel! And let's

22:15

finish this story off like this. And actually, we're

22:17

gonna finish off the episode like this. I've

22:19

run out of time to talk about the dimensional

22:21

merge. I apologize. We'll talk about that tomorrow.

22:23

We're gonna end the time travel story like this.

22:25

Massive explosion hits the Anju Islands. Time

22:28

travel machine is gone. And

22:30

people are like, all that

22:32

hard work. And all we

22:34

got was two kilometers of decimation. And

22:37

we lost some of our leading scientists.

22:39

Will we ever know what actually happened? And

22:42

then they start

22:46

getting a message and they're like hurry

22:48

up Johnny pick up that radio handheld

22:50

set thing because it's 1987 and we

22:53

don't have like stuff that

22:55

Jason can identify. It's just a telephone sitting

22:57

on top of a computer. They pick

22:59

it up. Hello? And

23:01

then they get this transmission

23:03

from the scientists in the

23:05

time pod. So that

23:07

these are the exact quotes. This

23:09

is exact quote that came

23:11

from these fictional scientists who traveled

23:13

into the future. We are

23:15

dying, but keep on

23:18

conducting the experiment. It is

23:20

very dark here. We see

23:22

all objects become double, our

23:24

hands and legs

23:27

are transparent. We

23:29

can see veins and bones through

23:31

the skin. The oxygen supply

23:33

will be enough for 43 hours.

23:36

The life support system is seriously

23:38

damaged. Our best regards

23:40

to the families and friends.

23:43

Transmission just cuts. Time

23:46

travel is immensely

23:48

dangerous. But

23:51

all travel is. When

23:53

we first started going across the oceans, very,

23:55

very dangerous. Traveling into space, very, very

23:57

dangerous. It's funny because a lot of time,

23:59

traveling into space on a scale

24:02

is as dangerous as traveling across

24:04

the ocean. It seems it

24:06

takes more energy to do it,

24:08

but it's around the

24:10

same level. And it's easy for

24:12

us to now go, oh man, you know,

24:14

space travel is so spooky, like you're getting

24:16

up there and you can get lost in

24:18

the middle of nowhere, and if something happens,

24:20

you're just kind of boned for six months. And

24:23

then you hop on a carnival cruise and

24:25

just go, party down doing the Macarena. We

24:28

can perfect or we can

24:30

make space travel faster and

24:32

safer. like we have made sea travel.

24:34

And sea travel is still dangerous, but we can

24:36

make it faster and safer and cheaper to the

24:38

point where, in a hundred years, you'll have

24:40

people with private spaceships flying around the moon. Time

24:43

travel is one of those things, though,

24:45

that if we ever do get the

24:47

hang of, and I do think it's

24:49

possible, but that's a whole other, like,

24:51

that's a long discussion about what actually time

24:53

travel is, but the idea of traditional time

24:55

travel, of being able to go back into

24:57

the past, if that is possible,

25:00

It's not only dangerous for the travelers

25:02

themselves, getting stuck in

25:04

time, machines breaking down, dematerializing.

25:07

It's the only form of

25:09

travel that's dangerous to everybody

25:11

else as well. If a

25:13

boat sinks, the people on

25:15

the boat are having a bad day. If a

25:17

boat is carrying some sort

25:20

of oil, some sort of noxious

25:22

chemical radiation stuff being shipped

25:24

somewhere for some reason, sinks.

25:27

It's a bad deal

25:29

for... bunch of people in

25:31

the area may be a generation of

25:33

people and the same thing with a spacecraft

25:35

if it has some sort of nuclear

25:37

powered engine and it blows up the area

25:39

is going to be irradiated and maybe

25:41

for the next 500 years people aren't

25:44

going to be able to be in that

25:46

area but those type of disasters are

25:48

very very would be very very hard to

25:50

come by. Time travel

25:52

is you hit a

25:54

button and you jack up the

25:57

entire time stream. Like, everything

25:59

has changed because you were an idiot.

26:01

I once started writing a story a

26:03

long time ago, and it was about

26:05

a group of scientists who built a time

26:07

box. They could see different periods of

26:09

time. The first thing they do is

26:11

let's see what would happen if Hitler won

26:14

World War II. It's always an easy

26:16

question because it was such a pivotal

26:18

moment in world history. So they look

26:20

into it. It's not like a

26:22

cardboard box. It's not like a diorama

26:24

they're looking into. They're standing inside this

26:26

encased metal box. They dial in the

26:28

coordinates. They're doing their sci -fi stuff. I'm not good

26:30

at writing the technical stuff. It's just magic, basically,

26:32

but with a science fiction bent. It really is what

26:34

a lot of science fiction is, except for hard

26:36

sci -fi. But anyways, they go

26:39

ahead, they activate the device,

26:41

and they can see,

26:43

basically, their location in a

26:45

different time period, and they

26:47

can get, like, readouts from other

26:49

places. So they go there, they

26:51

put in their little thingamajiggers, and

26:54

the world is a vast wasteland.

26:57

They're like, oh, that is what

26:59

we figured if Hitler had taken

27:01

over the world would have collapsed

27:03

Let's see now what would happen

27:05

if Soviet Union had won the

27:07

Cold War vast wasteland and they're

27:09

like USA USA But then they go,

27:11

let's see what would happen if Kennedy

27:13

hadn't been assassinated vast wasteland.

27:15

They're like what's going on?

27:18

They go, let's see what would

27:20

happen if the Mets

27:22

won 10 Super

27:24

Bowls. That's

27:26

my level of Swartz stuff. But anyways, they

27:28

put it in. They're like, Jason, you're an idiot.

27:30

And he's like, no, let's put it in.

27:32

Mets win 10 Super Bowls. Fast

27:35

wasteland. And

27:37

they begin just putting in

27:39

just minor stuff. And

27:42

the world is destroyed in

27:44

every possible other scenario. Then

27:47

this box they're in is shielding from all the effects

27:49

of time travel. They end up leaving the

27:51

box and they're like, we don't know what to

27:53

make of that. And once they leave the box,

27:55

these two time travelers show up. And

27:58

they're like, we're here to deliver the exposition.

28:00

The time travelers say, there

28:03

is not a single event

28:05

in human history that has

28:07

not been perfectly modified by us

28:09

in the future. Everything that you think

28:11

is free will is actually somebody coming

28:13

back from the future and having to

28:15

change it. because otherwise the

28:17

world would be destroyed. Everything

28:19

that you do is totally

28:22

corrected by us, and now we

28:24

have to correct you, because this device shouldn't

28:26

exist. So they kill all the

28:28

scientists, dismantle the box,

28:31

make it so the scientists who are

28:33

never born disappear into the future. If

28:36

time travel is real, it

28:38

is being used every single day, and

28:41

the world around us is

28:43

a finely tuned machine. Because

28:46

the people in the future already

28:48

know the past and to ensure they

28:50

have a future they have to

28:52

correct our past. Nothing is left

28:54

up to chance. There is

28:56

no free will. Everything

28:59

is polished and

29:01

perfect for the sake

29:03

of those in the future. DeadRabbitRadio
