Strange Realm - Ep. 114 - June 1st, 2025

Tonight, we bring you a clear-eyed and calculating episode as we take another look at the most astounding and strange stories we could find this week, including a new study that suggests the Many-Worlds interpretation of quantum physics is wrong, news that soon there will be a DNA-based supercomputer that can run 100 billion calculations at once, a report that contact lenses have been developed that let you see in the dark, as well as we take a look into the Wendigo and how it differs from the Skinwalker. All of this and then after the break, we continue our reading series as Frobisher finally finishes "Our Haunted Planet," by John A. Keel.
