Betelgeuse, the supergiant bright red star in the picture above, lies in the shoulder of Orion and has dozens of times the mass of the Sun. Scientists believe Betelgeuse is ready to detonate as a supernova at any time. The European Space Agency yesterday released the photograph above showing Betelgeuse ploughing through interstellar space at…
We wonder why it took so long for someone to do this. This animated gif from Soup shows a breakaway picture of a lock while a key turns to unlock it. Brilliant animation! And now we know…
Thousands of jumbo squid have purposely beached themselves in Monterey Bay located in central California in an apparent “mass suicide” and now researchers think they may know why. Mass jumbo squid have flung themselves ashore many times in the past decades but until know, scientists have not known why. Now researchers at Stanford University’s Hopkins…
On Sunday, January 20, officials announced that data from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) and ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft provides evidence of a wet underground environment, and clues that suggest a groundwater-fed lake could have existed in McLaughlin Crater, a crater fifty-seven miles in diameter and 1.4 miles deep. According to NASA: “A combination of…
Astronomers Valeri Hambaryan and Ralph Neuhӓuser have discovered proof that a massive short duration gamma-ray burst hit the earth in the 8th century. The intense blast of high-energy radiation could have caused a mass-extinction event if it had been just a tad bit closer to the earth. Scientists estimate that the event emanated from 3,000…
At Fire Station 6, in Livermore, California, there burns a lightbulb that has survived several moves, varying voltage, and even earthquakes – and as of June 2012, it has been burning for over 112 years. In 1900, Adolphe A. Chailet and his company Shelby Electric Company, was a competitor of Thomas Edison and sought to…
Harvard University’s George Church has talked about alarming genetic engineering ideas before but a recent comment in Spiegel Online has a few people scratching their heads. In a Q&A in Der Spiegel (Germany’s Spiegel Online), Church talks about engineering humans to live to 120 years of age, making people resistant to viruses, exchanging DNA with…
The European Space Agency has launched its Asteroid Impact and Deflection Assessment (AIDA) project in an effort to search for a way to counter the threat of an earth-bound asteroid, potentially by knocking the asteroid off its course. The idea is to send two small spacecraft to intercept an steroid known as 65803 Didymos, and…
An anonymous gold prospector using a Minelab GPX-5000 metal detector has discovered a 12-pound gold nugget worth a whopping $315,000 dollars. The prospector was searching in a field near the city of Ballarat in Victoria, Australia, in a well-known, previously searched gold prospecting field. It is estimated that hundreds of prospectors had searched the same…
No spacecraft has ever penetrated the rocky surface of Mars, or any planet for that matter, but that is about to change. In the past few weeks, Curiosity Rover has been stationed in a region called Yellowknife Bay, which features fractured ground with different temperature swings compared to other nearby terrain – and plenty of…

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.
