The Question

The Question

A New, Disruptive Community

Eliminate the Impossible

By

To engage in myth is to embrace a mystery. With the illumination of new science, the mythical stories of the oracle, the Cyclops, and the star are transformed into fresh mysteries that are bursting with ancient perspective, factual provocation, and possible truth.

Myths are imprisoned by impossibility. Mysteries, on the other hand, are set free by possibility. Truth is only discovered through freedom.

Sherlock Holmes once said, “When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”

The Question community can only question the impossible, but it is the detective searching for the truth who can eliminate the impossible. Put another way, if we too easily accept the impossible, we’ll never eliminate it.

Myth and Religion

By

For many people, telescoping further beyond the window of science and myth invariably reaches into the dimension of religion.

Can religious myths be viewed with the same new science lens as the other myths we’ve been exploring? It’s a thoughtful view, through a new lens of ancient perspective, factual provocation, and possible truth.

The perpetual question of whether inspiration from ancient religious texts is for good or for bad is important in any personal search for truth.

But for the purposes of this discussion, it’s important to suspend any notion of good or bad, and instead see what we can see through the open window.

In this video, Frederick Tamagi begins exploring a famous story of the Bible, an intriguing story of archeoastronomy.

Pass The Popcorn

By

How dismissive are we of our ancient ancestors and their fantastic, unbelievable myths?

It’s normal for most of us to pass the popcorn, on the safe side of the wall that separates science and myth.

When the wall becomes a window that allows the modern principles of science to interact with the ancient perspective of myth, we are challenged and confronted, no longer by a myth to reject, but instead by a mystery to explore, and more great questions to ask.

The Oracle’s Vapour

By

Through the centuries that followed, there was a persistent but unproven theory that the mysterious vapors of the inner chamber were the result of some kind of natural subterranean activity beneath the temple, like a hot spring or a volcanic process of some kind.

In fact, by the beginning of the 20th century, conventional archeologists had pretty much completely investigated the site at Delphi, searching for evidence that would support the vapor theory.

But the traditional methods of archeology failed to produce any such evidence. For the next 80 years or so, the archeology community more or less dismissed these fantastic spiritual stories of the oracle as just exaggerated myths, to be archived along with the other ancient Greek myths of gods and spirits.

In this video, presenter Frederick Tamagi reveals what archeologists eventually discovered about Delphi.
