We delve deep into the subjects of science and history, providing insightful analysis and commentary that is both informative and thought-provoking. Our articles are designed to entertain and educate, catering to both casual readers and serious enthusiasts. In the realm of science, we cover the latest breakthroughs and discoveries in various fields such as medicine, biology, physics, and more. Whether you are a scientist or a science enthusiast, we have something for you (including, yes, crazy science experiments!).
In the realm of history, we offer explorations of ancient civilizations, historical events, and the people who shaped the world we live in today. Our articles provide a glimpse into the past, helping readers understand how the world has evolved over time. We also cover topics such as archaeology, US History, and historical preservation, allowing readers to learn about the different ways that history is studied and preserved.
What does a flying airplane and a pitcher’s curve ball have in common? Well, besides the fact that both travel through the air at amazingly fast speeds – both are based on a principle called Bernoulli’s principle. Bernoulli, (pronounced Burr New Lee) was a Swiss mathematician who liked to piddle around with these types of…
With this experiment we’ll cause marshmallows to make funny faces and demonstrate a scien-terrific principle called pressure.
One of the basic physics principles is that heat causes things to expand (get bigger) and cold causes things to contract (get smaller). Things such as air will contract and take up less room when cooled. Similarly, things will expand when they get hot.
Ivory soap differs from most other brands in that it floats in the water. The reason – there is air whipped into the soap which makes it lighter than water. The small air pockets in the soap make for a very interesting effect when the soap bar is heated up.
The pushing force of air is called air pressure. The closer you are to Earth, the greater the air pressure. The farther away from Earth (in other words the higher your altitude), the less the air pressure. And remember, pressure is coming from all around us. Here’s an experiment to demonstrate the pressure of air…
Even though we usually think of water as running downhill, it can indeed flow upwards using a process called capillary action. This is the very scientific principle that explains how water goes from the soil upwards into the stem of plants.
The air pressure around us affects our weather. Notice how your weatherman always mentions various pressure systems (low-pressure system, high-pressure system, etc.) and how they will affect tomorrow’s weather. In this experiment, we will create a tool that lets you gauge the pressure of the air around you.
Plants are living creatures. They need food and water just like people. But how do plants get food?
The clouds in the sky form when water vapor is cooled enough to form tiny water droplets. When moist, cool air rises to a higher altitude, it cools, water droplets are formed, and voila – you have clouds. In this experiment we’ll duplicate this same process by causing the air in a bottle to rapidly…
Named after Daniel Bernoulli, the Bernoulli Principle states that as the velocity of a fluid increases, a decrease in pressure occurs. The mathematician Daniel discovered many new ideas regarding fluids and pressure. For instance, Bernoulli, who had earlier begun to study medicine, wanted to know about the relationship between the rate of blood flow and…

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.
