If proven, this theory could also account for missing objects, such as the search for a plane that disappeared without a trace.
The possibility of creating a lightsaber from a cloud of super cold rubidium gas is currently being tested by science, while the most practical approach for a real lightsaber would be a magnetic field shaping a superheated tube of gas.
The existence of unexplained phenomena is a subject that is often derided. While science certainly has its limits, it's difficult to find facts and concrete answers to explain these occurrences.
The podcast host discusses the conflicting character of a scientist who gained national attention even though he had strange behavior, questionable scientific methods, and a controversial diet.
