Is it possible that the dominant form of intelligence in the universe isn't in the human brain, but in dusty plasmas that dominate the cosmos?On this episode, I sit down with Massimo Teodorani, a physicist and UFO researcher, to discuss his research, the state of science, and plasma phenomena. Teodorani describes his own anomalous experiences, and his innovative work with Project Hessdalen in Norway, where he and his team used multiple scientific instruments to measure the physical parameters of plasma balls that persist far longer than science can explain, and that often seem to act with intelligence. Teodorani explains his research methodology, which involves studying both natural plasma phenomena and possibly artificial objects, then described his four main research fronts: plasma propulsion mechanisms, fourth-dimensional intrusions, ball lightning behavior, and the possibility of consciousness in plasma. We discuss the implications of such a consciousness in a universe dominated by plasma, and cover the work of author Robert Temple. The conversation also touched on Teodorani's music -- he's a composer of electronica -- and his interest in scientist Nikola Tesla, about whom Teodorani has written a book.
