This brand new episode is about the phenomenon of Chronosynclastic Infindubulum, how they work and how they played a key part in starting the war between Earth and Mars. We dove into their discovery, the exact phenomena, how they work, and the life of Winston Niles Rumfoord, the man who reshaped the world after getting caught inside of one and how this space-time phenomenon was used after the war.
