    Sep 13 2025

    The Nuremberg and Tokyo Trials were based on the London Agreement, signed on August 8, 1945, which was an accord between the United States, Great Britain, France, and the Soviet Union to establish an International Military Tribunal to prosecute the major war criminals of the European Axis. It provided a legal framework that codified crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, laying the foundation for the Nuremberg and Tokyo Trials.

    Beginning on November 20, 1945, 22 Nazi officials were brought to trial in the city of Nuremberg in Germany. And on May 3, 1946, 28 Japanese Military and Civil Leaders were brought to trial in Tokyo.

  • Episode 114: the Bermuda Triangle
    Aug 16 2025

    The mystery of the Bermuda Triangle dates back to 1492 when Christopher Columbus was attempting to reach Asia. During his journey, he passed through this infamous region of water, and according to his notes, something peculiar happened to his compass. He observed that “at the commencement of the night, the needles turned a half point northwest, and in the morning, they turned somewhat more northwest.” He also reported the sea rising and a flickering light in the distance, like a candle.

    The mysterious disappearances/incidents within the Bermuda Triangle include Flight 19, USS Cyclops and the ship Ellen Austin.

    Is there a scientific explanation to these mysteries or is the scientific community still debating?
