Decent Essays
Intro
Back in May, before The Radius Show went "Live" we recorded a few episodes in an effort to prepare and practice.

We countered, wait, yes basketball shoes have yet to exceed the $200.00 asking price but exotic European shoes do all the time. He also had a independent manufacturing protocol. He does not have a shoe factory in China all to himself a'la Nike.

Schwarzschild Radius is about a World War One veteran, Rottschieben who is recounting his time in the war to a curious college student who wished to know about his time working alongside the physicist that is attributed with the discovery of the Schwarzschild Radius.

I will be supporting the latter argument and I will show that Descartes doesn’t consign to a circular argument but rather gives an argument that both supports his claim about God and shows how his base belief is a solid foundation for other beliefs to be built upon.…
