Time as an enigma…have you ever considered it that way before?
It’d also be interesting to see if he compares how many advances in technologies and discoveries have been made in the 10 years he’s been involved in BBC Earth documentaries, wouldn’t it?
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.

I think time and gravity are fascinating subjects. I’m sure Cox will point out how much we’ve learned in the last decade as well as how much we still have left to learn.
