How to create a terrarium (or vivarium or self-contained bottle garden). A science experiment that creates a self-sustainable ecosystem.

Making a terrarium, a self-sustainable ecosystem with a living, growing plant inside a sealed bottle, is a pretty easy project and the plant growing inside can survive for decades without any watering or other care. Here’s how you can build a terrarium, or garden in a bottle, on your own.

David Latimer has created a most unusual garden, one that seems to mimic the ecosystem of Earth – in a sealed bottle! On Easter Sunday in 1960, David placed compost in a large round bottle and used a wire to carefully lower a Spiderworts seedling into the mix. He then added a pint of water…

No replacement for a lost body part is going to be as good as the original (at least not yet), but in special cases, such as with professional drummer Jason Barnes, scientists can come pretty close.

We’re not going to file this one under paranormal events just yet but still, it’s an interesting development. Eagle eyes have spotted an odd shard of light that seems to be erupting from the surface of Mars.

Many do not know is that The Philip Experiment, the basis for the move The Quiet Ones, was an actual historic research project conducted by a Toronto organization in 1972 in an effort to prove that paranormal entities such as demons, spirits, ghost, and poltergeists were manifestations produced by human will. A prominent group of…

A visitor to the lab once asked Geek Slop how big space was and the lab tour had to be cancelled. In short, Geek Slop answered with “really, really, really big” but what he really did was add a bunch of “reallys” to make the point that space was “really big”. There were so many…

Rainer and Edit Shattles of Jackson County, Mississippi were quite perplexed after reviewing video from their “deer cam” that had been set up in an open field on their 150 acres of land in rural Mississippi. The deer cam, which is triggered by an infrared sensor, snaps images of wildlife animals as they approach the…

Books bound with human skin in the Harvard Library collection? They have identified three books that yes, are bound in real human skin – and they’re not the only library that houses such gruesome works.
