About this episode
The episode explores the creation and evolution of calendars, featuring a new proposal by Tom Sherman, along with intriguing near-death experience stories.
Welcome to Mysterious Universe Season 35 Episode 16! What do you know of how the calendar was created? Hundreds of specialized or regional calendars have existed throughout history, major calendar systems are often grouped into solar, lunar, and lunisolar types, with six principal systems commonly recognized today. Tom Sherman has sorted out the wishy-washy Gregorian and offers the realm something better, A New Calendar. Perhaps it’s time we examine the time we keep? In our Plus+ extension, we dive back into some wild NDE stories! From a 1-year-old memory of being drowned in a bathtub, to an ex-military man experiencing his version of heaven, all the way to capping it off with a terrifying story of a young man who had direct contact with what he describes as hell! These stories are always interesting and really challenge (or maybe give hope to) the endless debate over what happens when we exit this mortal coil.
