Swiss researchers demonstrated three robotic quadrocopters, flying in formation and tethered to a net, playing catch with a ball. The helicopters maneuver to catch balls that are tossed to them and catch them in the net. Once they catch the ball, they launch it back by flying outward and stretching the net tight.

It looks like something out of The Walking Dead.

The first known aid to calculations was the Abacus, used by Sumerians and Egyptians earlier than 2,000 BC (with the possible exception of the Antikythera mechanism).

This time lapse video is worthy of any horror show I’ve ever seen. They took a small camera and placed it inside the shell of a mussel. From the camera placed inside the mussel shell, you watch as the starfish then ejects its stomach into the mussel shell and eats it alive leaving nothing but…

Books from Geek Slop Publishing
Living Truth Bible Study Guides
Despite its beautiful prose, you can’t just read Revelation; it requires diligent study. However, ineffective study techniques can lead to misunderstandings. Rather than imposing strict interpretations on the described events, use the concepts we present as a framework for understanding its intricate code. The Book of Revelation indeed provides more than just a foretelling of the tumultuous end of days. It reassures Christians that divine justice will ultimately triumph over evil and promises Jesus' eventual return as the rightful king of the world.
Chronicles of Enigma
While science and reason often seek to illuminate the unknown, there remains a certain allure in the unexplained—a realm where imagination and reality blur, creating a tapestry rich with wonder and possibility. Stories from the Chronicles of Enigma series endure not just as relics of the past, but as gateways to exploring the depths of our curiosity and the infinite potential of our world. Let us be the light that guides you through the darkness.
