On this episode of Expanded Perspectives the guys start the show off talking about how\xa0Earth's magnetic field is in a state of dramatic weakening \u2013 and according to mind-boggling new research, this phenomenal disruption is part of a pattern lasting for over 1,000 years.Earth's magnetic field doesn't just give us our north and south poles; it's also what protects us from solar winds and cosmic radiation \u2013 but this invisible force field is rapidly weakening, to the point scientists think it could actually flip, with our magnetic poles reversing. Then, researchers have uncovered a stunning archaeological find hidden by the waves lapping the Florida coastline: a 7,000-year-old Native American burial site preserved underwater since prehistoric times.\xa0The ancient resting place serves as a reminder the stretched Florida peninsula wasn't always as it is today. Millennia ago in a cooler climate, Native Americans lived and died on a broader, greater landmass, before rising seas swept their homes into history.

After the break Cam brings up the interesting life and times of famous outlaw Billy the Kid.\xa0Billy the Kid was easily the most notorious desperado of the Wild West. He reportedly killed 21 men, one for every year of his young life.\xa0 History tells us that \u201cThe Kid\u201d was born William Bonney in New York City in 1859.\xa0 He later fought against rich ranchers in the Lincoln County Cattle War in New Mexico, and was given a death sentence for killing Sheriff William Brady. Who is buried in Billy the Kid\u2019s grave. According to most sources, Lincoln County Sheriff Pat Garrett was eager to collect the $500 dollar bounty on Billy the Kid.\xa0 In July of 1881, he tracked down Billy in Fort Sumner, New Mexico, and killed him.\xa0History also tells us that Billy was buried the following day in a simple grave.\xa0 But now some people say that history is wrong.\xa0 That Billy wasn\u2019t the man in that grave. Sixty-eight years after Billy\u2019s death, a man from Texas, named \u201cBrushy Bill\u201d Roberts, claimed he was Billy the Kid.
