You probably already know about the mystical force that exists on Earth called gravity. It pulls everything down toward the ground. It’s pretty amazing, because without gravity we would all be floating around in space. But have you ever wondered if this force pulls heavy objects down faster than light objects? The answer may surprise…
The reaction we’ll describe below is purely physical, not chemical. Some liquids like soda can be supersaturated with gas, in this case, carbon dioxide. The saturation occurs when the liquid is in equilibrium with the gas. When the liquid is opened, the equilibrium is disturbed, and the carbon dioxide comes out of the solution.
Being a prominent (ahem) member of the scientific community, Geek Slop has a lot of scientist friends. Geek Slop knows that the thing that bugs scientists more than anything, is when people don’t believe their theories (well, that and burning lab coats). And when it comes to Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, scientists treat it almost…
In addition to figuring out who did it, police have to figure out how they did it. And to do that, they often use a technique called blood spatter (not “splatter”) analysis.
Ever reached down into the bathtub water to grab a toy and found that it was not in the position it appeared to be in? What you are experiencing is the effect called refraction.
Our eyes see everything going on around us. The eyes send this information to our brain, which interprets the information it is given. Sometimes the brain has to fudge a little when making these interpretations. This is especially true when our eyes see something that the brain knows cannot be true. In cases like this, the…
We all know parents have eyes in the back of their heads. They always know what you’ve done, where you did it, and sometimes even why you did it. We’ll never fully understand how they do this; even science cannot explain this natural phenomenon. But this experiment can at least put you on somewhat equal…
We can’t provide cooking lessons but we sure know how to make a cool little oven – out of a pizza box! And while we’re at it we’ll learn how thermal collectors are able to collect sunlight and convert solar radiation into heat.
Light traveling in a straight line appears colorless. But there’s more to light than just colorless nothingness. When light passes through a wedge-shaped piece of glass called a prism, the light is separated into 7 different and unique colors. You see these colors when light passes through rain or moisture producing a rainbow.
Believe it or not, scientists are still arguing precisely about what scientific principle should be used to explain why an airplane can fly. One explanation, the Bernoulli Effect, is commonly used to describe the phenomenon of flight. In this experiment, we demonstrate the second explanation – the Coanda Effect.

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.
