Lost in the shuffle, the news that a white beluga whale named “NOC” could speak rudimentary English was never published until colleagues encouraged Sam Ridgway, of the National Marine Mammal Foundation, to publish the news that many are not aware of – whales can mimic human speech just like a parrot. A new paper in…
Six Italian scientists and one ex-government official have just been sentenced to six-years in prison for multiple manslaughter after failing to accurately predict deadly 2009 earthquake. The courts found that the scientists gave falsely reassuring statements after studying tremors that had shaken the Italian city of L’Aquila. The 6.3 magnitude quake killed 309 people.
The Permian-Triassic mass extinction occurred 252 million years ago. It is Earth’s most devastating mass extinction event with up to 96% of all marine species and 70% of land animals becoming extinct. Researchers now believe they know what caused it and why life took over 5 million years to recover – extreme, lethal temperatures up…
Unrelated to last week’s “shiny object” find, this week Curiosity Rover took three scoops from the Martian soil and found several bright, shiny particles in the sample. In an area called Rocknest, the rover was sampling and analyzing soil when it ran across a small, shiny particle. Scooping was halted and after NASA determined that…
Everyone dreams whether they remember their dreams or not. In fact, most people have 3-4 dreams per night. In a “lucid dream state”, the person is aware that they are in a dream and have the ability to control the dream as they see fit. This gives the person a means to think, rationalize, invent,…
Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh’s Safar Center for Resuscitation Research have made good their name. Researchers took 24 dogs and stopped their hearts and waited until there was no brain activity. They then drained the dogs’ blood and replaced it with a chilled saline solution (zombie juice). Then with one foot outside the door,…
Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 were launched in 1977 and have been travelling through space at 40,000 MPH for over 30 years now. 11 billion miles from Earth, they have provided NASA scientists with valuable information about the outer planets and although their nuclear reactors are beginning to wind down, they are still delivering information…
Two volunteer amateur astronomers have confirmed the existence of a Neptune-like planet that has four suns, making it the first quadruple planetary star system ever discovered and a real-life version of Tatooine from “Star Wars”. The planet is a gas giant located 5,000 light years from Earth and orbits one pair of the stars which…
Astronomers have discovered a new planet, about the size of Earth, orbiting Alpha Centauri B, a nearby sun-like star roughly 4 light years away. The new planet orbits its parent star about 10 times closer than Mercury so temperatures might be more than 2,240 degrees Fahrenheit. Still, scientists are hopeful that more planets will be…
New research has revealed that carbon dioxide, the gas we exhale in every breath, may significantly impair cognitive functioning when accumulated in indoor environments and the levels that prove dangerous may be much less than they had previously thought safe.

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.
