Listen in as Real Science Radio host Fred Williams and co-host Doug McBurney review and update some of Bob Enyart's legendary list of not so old things! From Darwin's Finches to opals forming in months to man's genetic diversity in 200 generations, to carbon 14 everywhere it's not supposed to be (including in diamonds and dinosaur bones!), scientific observations simply defy the claim that the earth is billions of years old. Real science demands the dismissal of the alleged million and billion year ages asserted by the ungodly and the foolish.     * Finches Adapt in 17 Years, Not 2.3 Million: Charles Darwin's finches are claimed to have taken 2,300,000 years to diversify from an initial species blown onto the Galapagos Islands. Yet individuals from a single finch species on a U.S. Bird Reservation in the Pacific were introduced to a group of small islands 300 miles away and in at most 17 years, like Darwin's finches, they had diversified their beaks, related muscles, and behavior to fill various ecological niches. Hear about this also at rsr.org/spetner.  * Finches Speciate in Two Generations vs Two Million Years for Darwin's Birds?  Darwin's finches on the Galapagos Islands are said to have diversified into 14 species over a period of two million years. But in 2017 the journal Science reported a newcomer to the Island which within two generations spawned a reproductively isolated new species. In another instance as documented by Lee Spetner, a hundred birds of the same finch species introduced to an island cluster a 1,000 kilometers from Galapagos diversified into species with the typical variations in beak sizes, etc. "If this diversification occurred in less than seventeen years," Dr. Spetner asks, "why did Darwin's Galapagos finches [as claimed by evolutionists] have to take two million years?" * Opals Can Form in "A Few Months" And Don't Need 100,000 Years: A leading authority on opals, Allan W. Eckert, observed that, "scientific papers and textbooks have told that the process of opal formation requires tens of thousands of years, perhaps hundreds of thousands... Not true." A 2011 peer-reviewed paper in a geology journal from Australia, where almost all the world's opal is found, reported on the: "new timetable for opal formation involving weeks to a few months and not the hundreds of thousands of years envisaged by the conventional weathering model." (And apparently, per a 2019 report from Entomology Today, opals can even form around insects!) More knowledgeable scientists resist the uncritical, group-think insistence on false super-slow formation rates (as also for manganese nodules, gold veins, stone, petroleum, canyons and gullies, and even guts, all below). Regarding opals, Darwinian bias led geologists to long ignore possible quick action, as from microbes, as a possible explanation for these mineraloids. For both in nature and in the lab, opals form rapidly, not even in 10,000 years, but in weeks. See this also from creationists by a geologist, a paleobiochemist, and a nuclear chemist. * Blue Eyes Originated Not So Long Ago: Not a million years ago, nor a hundred thousand years ago, but based on a peer-reviewed paper in Human Genetics, a press release at Science Daily reports that, "research shows that people with blue eyes have a single, common ancestor. A team at the University of Copenhagen have tracked down a genetic mutation which took place 6-10,000 years ago and is the cause of the eye color of all blue-eyed humans alive on the planet today." * Adding the Entire Universe to our List of Not So Old Things? Based on March 2019 findings from Hubble, Nobel laureate Adam Riess of the Space Telescope Science Institute and his co-authors in the Astrophysical Journal estimate that the universe is about a billion years younger than previously thought! Then in September 2019 in the journal Science, the age dropped precipitously to as low as 11.4 billion years! Of course, these measurements also further squeeze the canonical story of the big bang chronology with its many already existing problems including the insufficient time to "evolve" distant mature galaxies, galaxy clusters, superclusters, enormous black holes, filaments, bubbles, walls, and other superstructures. So, even though the latest estimates are still absurdly too old (Google: big bang predictions, and click on the #1 ranked article, or just go on over there to rsr.org/bb), regardless, we thought we'd plop the whole universe down on our List of Not So Old Things!   * After the Soft Tissue Discoveries, NOW Dino DNA: When a North Carolina State University paleontologist took the Tyrannosaurus Rex photos to the right of original biological material, that led to the 2016 discovery of dinosaur DNA, So far researchers have also recovered dinosaur blood vessels, collagen, osteocytes, hemoglobin, red blood cells, and various proteins. As of May 2018, twenty-six scientific journals, including Nature, Science, PNAS, PLoS One, Bone, and Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, have confirmed the discovery of biomaterial fossils from many dinosaurs! Organisms including T. Rex, hadrosaur, titanosaur, triceratops, Lufengosaur, mosasaur, and Archaeopteryx, and many others dated, allegedly, even hundreds of millions of years old, have yielded their endogenous, still-soft biological material. See the web's most complete listing of 100+ journal papers (screenshot, left) announcing these discoveries at bflist.rsr.org and see it in layman's terms at rsr.org/soft. * Rapid Stalactites, Stalagmites, Etc.: A construction worker in 1954 left a lemonade bottle in one of Australia's famous Jenolan Caves. By 2011 it had been naturally transformed into a stalagmite (below, right). Increasing scientific knowledge is arguing for rapid cave formation (see below, Nat'l Park Service shrinks Carlsbad Caverns formation estimates from 260M years, to 10M, to 2M, to it "depends"). Likewise, examples are growing of rapid formations with typical chemical make-up (see bottle, left) of classic stalactites and stalagmites including: - in Nat'l Geo the Carlsbad Caverns stalagmite that rapidly covered a bat - the tunnel stalagmites at Tennessee's Raccoon Mountain - hundreds of stalactites beneath the Lincoln Memorial - those near Gladfelter Hall at Philadelphia's Temple University (send photos to Bob@rsr.org) - hundreds of stalactites at Australia's zinc mine at Mt. Isa.   - and those beneath Melbourne's Shrine of Remembrance. * Most Human Mutations Arose in 200 Generations: From Adam until Real Science Radio, in only 200 generations! The journal Nature reports The Recent Origin of Most Human Protein-coding Variants. As summarized by geneticist co-author Joshua Akey, "Most of the mutations that we found arose in the last 200 generations or so" (the same number previously published by biblical creationists). Another 2012 paper, in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology (Eugenie Scott's own field) on High mitochondrial mutation rates, shows that one mitochondrial DNA mutation occurs every other generation, which, as creationists point out, indicates that mtEve would have lived about 200 generations ago. That's not so old! * National Geographic's Not-So-Old Hard-Rock Canyon at Mount St. Helens: As our List of Not So Old Things (this web page) reveals, by a kneejerk reaction evolutionary scientists assign ages of tens or hundreds of thousands of years (or at least just long enough to contradict Moses' chronology in Genesis.) However, with closer study, routinely, more and more old ages get revised downward to fit the world's growing scientific knowledge. So the trend is not that more information lengthens ages, but rather, as data replaces guesswork, ages tend to shrink until they are consistent with the young-earth biblical timeframe. Consistent with this observation, the May 2000 issue of National Geographic quotes the U.S. Forest Service's scientist at Mount St. Helens, Peter Frenzen, describing the canyon on the north side of the volcano. "You'd expect a hard-rock canyon to be thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years old. But this was cut in less than a decade." And as for the volcano itself, while again, the kneejerk reaction of old-earthers would be to claim that most geologic features are hundreds of thousands or millions of years old, the atheistic National Geographic magazine acknowledges from the evidence that Mount St. Helens, the volcanic mount, is only about 4,000 years old! See below and more at rsr.org/mount-st-helens. * Mount St. Helens Dome Ten Years Old not 1.7 Million: Geochron Laboratories of Cambridge, Mass., using potassium-argon and other radiometric techniques claims the rock sample they dated, from the volcano's dome, solidified somewhere between 340,000 and 2.8 million years ago. However photographic evidence and historical reports document the dome's formation during the 1980s, just ten years prior to the samples being collected. With the age of this rock known, radiometric dating therefore gets the age 99.99999% wrong. * Devils Hole Pupfish Isolated Not for 13,000 Years But for 100: Secular scientists default to knee-jerk, older-than-Bible-age dates. However, a tiny Mojave desert fish is having none of it. Rather than having been genetically isolated from other fish for 13,000 years (which would make this small school of fish older than the Earth itself), according to a paper in the journal Nature, actual measurements of mutation rates indicate that the genetic diversity of these Pupfish could have been generated in about 100 years, give or take a few. * Polystrates like Spines and Rare Schools of Fossilized Jellyfish: Previously, seven sedimentary layers in Wisconsin had been described as taking a million years to form. And because jellyfish have no skeleton, as Charles Darwin pointed out, it is rare to find them among fossils. But now, reported in the journal Geology, a school of jellyfish fossils have been found throughout those same seven layers. So, polystrate fossils that condense the time of strata deposition from eons to hours or months, include: - Jellyfish in central Wisconsin were not deposited and fossilized over a million years but during a single event quick enough to trap a whole school. (This fossil school, therefore, taken as a unit forms a polystrate fossil.) Examples are everywhere that falsify the claims of strata deposition over millions of years. - Countless trilobites buried in astounding three dimensionality around the world are meticulously recovered from limestone, much of which is claimed to have been deposited very slowly. Contrariwise, because these specimens were buried rapidly in quickly laid down sediments, they show no evidence of greater erosion on their upper parts as compared to their lower parts. - The delicacy of radiating spine polystrates, like tadpole and jellyfish fossils, especially clearly demonstrate the rapidity of such strata deposition. - A second school of jellyfish, even though they rarely fossilized, exists in another locale with jellyfish fossils in multiple layers, in Australia's Brockman Iron Formation, constraining there too the rate of strata deposition. By the way, jellyfish are an example of evolution's big squeeze. Like galaxies evolving too quickly,

Eckert, observed that, "scientific papers and textbooks have told that the process of opal formation requires tens of thousands of years, perhaps hundreds of thousands... Not true." A 2011 peer-reviewed paper in a geology journal from Australia, where almost all the world's opal is found, reported on the: "new timetable for opal formation involving weeks to a few months and not the hundreds of thousands of years envisaged by the conventional weathering model." (And apparently, per a 2019 report from Entomology Today, opals can even form around insects!) More knowledgeable scientists resist the uncritical, group-think insistence on false super-slow formation rates (as also for manganese nodules, gold veins, stone, petroleum, canyons and gullies, and even guts, all below). Regarding opals, Darwinian bias led geologists to long ignore possible quick action, as from microbes, as a possible explanation for these mineraloids. For both in nature and in the lab, opals form rapidly, not even in 10,000 years, but in weeks. See this also from creationists by a geologist, a paleobiochemist, and a nuclear chemist. * Blue Eyes Originated Not So Long Ago: Not a million years ago, nor a hundred thousand years ago, but based on a peer-reviewed paper in Human Genetics, a press release at Science Daily reports that, "research shows that people with blue eyes have a single, common ancestor. A team at the University of Copenhagen have tracked down a genetic mutation which took place 6-10,000 years ago and is the cause of the eye color of all blue-eyed humans alive on the planet today." * Adding the Entire Universe to our List of Not So Old Things? Based on March 2019 findings from Hubble, Nobel laureate Adam Riess of the Space Telescope Science Institute and his co-authors in the Astrophysical Journal estimate that the universe is about a billion years younger than previously thought! Then in September 2019 in the journal Science, the age dropped precipitously to as low as 11.4 billion years! Of course, these measurements also further squeeze the canonical story of the big bang chronology with its many already existing problems including the insufficient time to "evolve" distant mature galaxies, galaxy clusters, superclusters, enormous black holes, filaments, bubbles, walls, and other superstructures. So, even though the latest estimates are still absurdly too old (Google: big bang predictions, and click on the #1 ranked article, or just go on over there to rsr.org/bb), regardless, we thought we'd plop the whole universe down on our List of Not So Old Things!   * After the Soft Tissue Discoveries, NOW Dino DNA: When a North Carolina State University paleontologist took the Tyrannosaurus Rex photos to the right of original biological material, that led to the 2016 discovery of dinosaur DNA, So far researchers have also recovered dinosaur blood vessels, collagen, osteocytes, hemoglobin, red blood cells, and various proteins. As of May 2018, twenty-six scientific journals, including Nature, Science, PNAS, PLoS One, Bone, and Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, have confirmed the discovery of biomaterial fossils from many dinosaurs! Organisms including T. Rex, hadrosaur, titanosaur, triceratops, Lufengosaur, mosasaur, and Archaeopteryx, and many others dated, allegedly, even hundreds of millions of years old, have yielded their endogenous, still-soft biological material. See the web's most complete listing of 100+ journal papers (screenshot, left) announcing these discoveries at bflist.rsr.org and see it in layman's terms at rsr.org/soft. * Rapid Stalactites, Stalagmites, Etc.: A construction worker in 1954 left a lemonade bottle in one of Australia's famous Jenolan Caves. By 2011 it had been naturally transformed into a stalagmite (below, right). Increasing scientific knowledge is arguing for rapid cave formation (see below, Nat'l Park Service shrinks Carlsbad Caverns formation estimates from 260M years, to 10M, to 2M, to it "depends"). Likewise, examples are growing of rapid formations with typical chemical make-up (see bottle, left) of classic stalactites and stalagmites including: - in Nat'l Geo the Carlsbad Caverns stalagmite that rapidly covered a bat - the tunnel stalagmites at Tennessee's Raccoon Mountain - hundreds of stalactites beneath the Lincoln Memorial - those near Gladfelter Hall at Philadelphia's Temple University (send photos to Bob@rsr.org) - hundreds of stalactites at Australia's zinc mine at Mt. Isa.   - and those beneath Melbourne's Shrine of Remembrance. * Most Human Mutations Arose in 200 Generations: From Adam until Real Science Radio, in only 200 generations! The journal Nature reports The Recent Origin of Most Human Protein-coding Variants. As summarized by geneticist co-author Joshua Akey, "Most of the mutations that we found arose in the last 200 generations or so" (the same number previously published by biblical creationists). Another 2012 paper, in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology (Eugenie Scott's own field) on High mitochondrial mutation rates, shows that one mitochondrial DNA mutation occurs every other generation, which, as creationists point out, indicates that mtEve would have lived about 200 generations ago. That's not so old! * National Geographic's Not-So-Old Hard-Rock Canyon at Mount St. Helens: As our List of Not So Old Things (this web page) reveals, by a kneejerk reaction evolutionary scientists assign ages of tens or hundreds of thousands of years (or at least just long enough to contradict Moses' chronology in Genesis.) However, with closer study, routinely, more and more old ages get revised downward to fit the world's growing scientific knowledge. So the trend is not that more information lengthens ages, but rather, as data replaces guesswork, ages tend to shrink until they are consistent with the young-earth biblical timeframe. Consistent with this observation, the May 2000 issue of National Geographic quotes the U.S. Forest Service's scientist at Mount St. Helens, Peter Frenzen, describing the canyon on the north side of the volcano. "You'd expect a hard-rock canyon to be thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years old. But this was cut in less than a decade." And as for the volcano itself, while again, the kneejerk reaction of old-earthers would be to claim that most geologic features are hundreds of thousands or millions of years old, the atheistic National Geographic magazine acknowledges from the evidence that Mount St. Helens, the volcanic mount, is only about 4,000 years old! See below and more at rsr.org/mount-st-helens. * Mount St. Helens Dome Ten Years Old not 1.7 Million: Geochron Laboratories of Cambridge, Mass., using potassium-argon and other radiometric techniques claims the rock sample they dated, from the volcano's dome, solidified somewhere between 340,000 and 2.8 million years ago. However photographic evidence and historical reports document the dome's formation during the 1980s, just ten years prior to the samples being collected. With the age of this rock known, radiometric dating therefore gets the age 99.99999% wrong. * Devils Hole Pupfish Isolated Not for 13,000 Years But for 100: Secular scientists default to knee-jerk, older-than-Bible-age dates. However, a tiny Mojave desert fish is having none of it. Rather than having been genetically isolated from other fish for 13,000 years (which would make this small school of fish older than the Earth itself), according to a paper in the journal Nature, actual measurements of mutation rates indicate that the genetic diversity of these Pupfish could have been generated in about 100 years, give or take a few. * Polystrates like Spines and Rare Schools of Fossilized Jellyfish: Previously, seven sedimentary layers in Wisconsin had been described as taking a million years to form. And because jellyfish have no skeleton, as Charles Darwin pointed out, it is rare to find them among fossils. But now, reported in the journal Geology, a school of jellyfish fossils have been found throughout those same seven layers. So, polystrate fossils that condense the time of strata deposition from eons to hours or months, include: - Jellyfish in central Wisconsin were not deposited and fossilized over a million years but during a single event quick enough to trap a whole school. (This fossil school, therefore, taken as a unit forms a polystrate fossil.) Examples are everywhere that falsify the claims of strata deposition over millions of years. - Countless trilobites buried in astounding three dimensionality around the world are meticulously recovered from limestone, much of which is claimed to have been deposited very slowly. Contrariwise, because these specimens were buried rapidly in quickly laid down sediments, they show no evidence of greater erosion on their upper parts as compared to their lower parts. - The delicacy of radiating spine polystrates, like tadpole and jellyfish fossils, especially clearly demonstrate the rapidity of such strata deposition. - A second school of jellyfish, even though they rarely fossilized, exists in another locale with jellyfish fossils in multiple layers, in Australia's Brockman Iron Formation, constraining there too the rate of strata deposition. By the way, jellyfish are an example of evolution's big squeeze. Like galaxies e

Uzturs, kuru ikdienā servējam sev uz šķīvja, krietni atšķiras no tā, ko cilvēki ēd apstākļos, kur nav ne virtuves rīku, iekārtu, ne ledusskapju. Un tomēr kalnos kāpējiem, karavīriem un ikvienam, kam ilgstoši jābūt dabā un kustībā, nepieciešams bagātīgs uzturs. Te lieti noder pārtikas tehnologu ieviestie risinājumi, kas ļauj ar ilgu derīguma termiņu, bagātīgu uzturvētību un mazu apjomu sagatavot pārtiku dažādām situācijām. Kā to pārveidot tā, lai to var viegli lietot un pārnēsāt un vienlaikus, lai tas nezaudē savu vērtību? Skaidro Latvijas Biozinātņu un tehnoloģiju universitātes profesore un Tehnoloģiju un zināšanu pārneses nodaļas vadītāja Sandra Muižniece-Brasava un šīs universitātes Pārtikas institūta vadošā pētniece, docente Asnate Ķirse-Ozoliņa. Raidījuma noslēgumā Zinātnes ziņas Vienojošais vārds šīs dienas zinātnes ziņām varētu būt “retumi”, kas ieraudzīti pirmo reizi vai arī otrādi - kas ilgu laiku nav redzēti un pārsteidz no jauna, vai arī kurus cilvēki paši mēģina radīt no jauna. Vai zinātnieki patiešām atdzīvinājuši briesmīgo vilku? Pirmā vēsts, kas šajās dienās ienākusi vairākās tīmekļa vietnēs, ir par to, ka amerikāņu biotehnoloģiju uzņēmums “Colossal Biosciences” atkal mēģina ar kaut ko pārsteigt. Kāpēc atkal? Tāpēc ka marta sākumā stāstīju par šī paša uzņēmuma centieniem atjaunot mamutus ar ģenētiski modificētu peļu palīdzību. Šoreiz izvēle ir kritusi par labu vilkiem, kam latviešu valodā “Vikipēdijas” enciklopēdija piedāvā apzīmējumu “briesmīgais vilks”, latīniskais nosaukums tad attiecīgi “Canis dirus”. Plašāk lasiet “Scientific American”. Kāda bija dinozauru daudzveidība pirms asteroīda trieciena? Ar nākamo ziņu atgriežamies vēl senākā pagātnē, kas no jauna tiek pārskatīta, un par to “Live Science” raksta. Runa ir par dinozauriem. Proti, līdzšinējie fosiliju atklājumi liecinājuši, ka dinozauru skaits un daudzveidība sarukusi pirms liktenīgā asteroīda trieciena Zemē krīta perioda beigās, pirms aptuveni 66 miljoniem gadu. Iepriekš daži pētnieki uzskatījuši, ka tā jau bijusi zīme, ka dinozauri bija ceļā uz izzušanu, pat pirms asteroīda trieciena. Tomēr šī ideja jau sen ir bijusi pretrunīga, jo citi pētnieki apgalvojuši, ka dinozauru daudzveidība to nāves brīdī bijusi labā līmenī. Kopumā tas bijis diskusiju temats jau vairāk nekā 30 gadu.  Plašāk lasiet šeit. Radīts pasaulē mazākais elektrokardiostimulators rīsa lielumā Vēl viena ziņa aizvadīto dienu laikā ir bijusi zinātnes vietņu uzmanības centrā un ir joprojām, un tas ir solis uz priekšu medicīnā: pasaulē mazākais elektrokardiostimulators ir mazāks par rīsa graudu. Tātad tas ir sirdsdarbības regulators, ko izstrādājuši ASV pētnieki, un ar ko tas ir īpašs? Protams, ar to, ka tam ir priekšrocības salīdzinājumā ar līdz šim lietotajiem sirds stimulatoriem.

Latgalē uzieta reti sastopamās sēnes toverīšu sarkosomas atradne Un vēl kāda īsa vēsts, kas nedēļas sākumā noteikti iepriecināja mikologus un droši vien daudzus dabas mīļotājus - Rāznas Nacionālā parka teritorijā uzieta jauna retās un īpaši aizsargājamās sēņu sugas toverīšu sarkosomas (Sarcosoma globosum) atradne. Latvijā šī sēne sastopama vien dažās vietās, un vēl nesen tika uzskatīts, ka tā no dabas jau izzudusi. Vietnē www.lsm.lv var skatīt Latgales reģionālās televīzijas sagatavotu materiālu.

Vai tiesa, ka stresu dažkārt veicina ne tikai mūsu psiholoģiskie pārdzīvojumi, bet arī fizioloģiskas izmaiņas organismā? Kur rodas stresa hormoni – kortizols un adrenalīns – un kas notiek, ja tie sāk pārņemt mūsu organismu nekontrolēti? Par to studijā iztaujāsim Rīgas Austrumu klīniskās universitātes slimnīcas Endokrinoloģijas nodaļas vadītāju, Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes asociēto profesori Ilzi Konrādi. * Zinātnes ziņas Megalodona izmēri varētu būt bijuši lielāki, nekā līdz šim pieņemts. Pirms dažiem gadiem uz ekrāniem bija skatāma asa sižeta filma par megalodonu – gigantisku haizivi. Varbūt toreiz kādi skatītāji domāja, vai tas ir izdomājums, vai arī šāds radījums okeānos patiešām kādreiz dzīvojis. Un atbilde ir – jā. Megalodons ir reāla suga, kas kādreiz mitusi, un tādas vietnes kā “Live Science” un “Science Daily” tai veltījušas plašākus izklāstus. Zinātnieki visai ilgi uzskatījuši, ka megalodoni izskatījās kā lielas baltās haizivis, taču jaunākais pētījums liecina, ka megalodons bijis vairāk nekā 24 metrus garš dzīvnieks, un tas ir vairāk nekā uzrādījuši līdzšinējie aprēķini. Salīdzinājumam – baltās haizivs mātītes ķermeņa garums var būt aptuveni pieci metri. Tā ka redzams atšķirība ir visai liela – pieci metri vai 24 metri.  Bet milzenis megalodons mūsdienās sastopams vairs nav, tas ir dzīvojis jūrās laika nogrieznī pirms 20 miljoniem gadu līdz 3,6 miljoniem gadu. Pilnīgi megalodonu skeleti atrasti nekad nav, tāpēc mūsu zināšanas balstās un arī avoti, no kuriem zinātnieki var gūt datus, nāk no fosilijām - zvīņu un zobu fosilijām. Lai iegūtu jaunākos datus par megalodona izmēru, zinātnieki no Kalifornijas un Riversaidas universitātes, kā arī citām pasaules vietām megalodonu fosilijas salīdzinājuši ar vairāk nekā 150 dzīvām un izmirušām haizivju sugām, iegūstot pēc iespējas precīzāku megalodonu galvas, ķermeņa un astes proporciju. Vēl pētnieki atklājuši, ka megalodons varētu būt dzemdējis dzīvus mazuļus, un arī to garums varētu būt bijis līdz pat četriem metriem. Tas, par ko pētnieku vidū nav vienprātības, – kādai mūsdienu sugai megalodons ir līdzinājies. Kā piemēru jau minējām balto haizivi, tomēr ir zinātnieki, pēc kuru domām, megalodona ķermenis pēc formas daudz tuvāks bijis citronhaizivij vai pat lielam valim.  Pirmais Mēness aptumsums šogad – 14. martā. Bet par kādu citu dabas brīnumu. Piektdien, 14. martā, gaidāms šī gada pirmais Mēness aptumsums, un par to vietnē “Scientific American”. Precīzāk izsakoties, aptumsums būs 13. marta naktī un 14. marta agrās rīta stundās, un tas būs pilns Mēness aptumsums pēc trīs gadu pārtraukuma. Tiesa gan, mūsu platuma grādos šis notikums ies secen. Pilnu Mēness aptumsumu varēs vērot tikai paši Eiropas rietumi – Spānija, Īrija un Lielbritānija. Toties viskrāšņāko un pilnāko aptumsumu varēs skatīt tie, kuri dzīvo Ziemeļamerikā un Dienvidamerikā. Ja klausāties Latvijas Radio, būdami šajās vietās, tad ziniet, ka jums tāda iespēja ir, un to patiešām nevajag laist garām. Bet Latvijā neskumstiet, jo naktī no 7. uz 8. septembri eiropieši redzēs Mēness aptumsumu, un tad to neredzēs Amerika.  Ar ko Mēness aptumsums ir interesants? Atšķirībā no strauja Saules aptumsuma, Mēness aptumsums ir lēns un majestātisks, un, lai to redzētu, nav nepieciešans īpašs aprīkojums vai optisks palīglīdzeklis.  Mēness, Saule, Zeme – šo triju ķermeņu attiecības nosaka Mēness aptumsuma veidošanos, detalizētāk, kā tas notiek, aprakstīts vietnē, bet tur arī piedāvāts tāds vienkāršots skaidrojums. Proti, iedomājieties, ka jūs atrodaties uz Mēness, skatoties uz Zemi un Sauli. No šī skatupunkta šķiet, ka Zeme lēnām virzās Saules priekšā. Sākumā jūs redzat, ka Zeme pavisam nedaudz bloķē Sauli, un gaismas daudzums, kas pie Jums nonāk, samazinās, bet mazliet. Laika gaitā Zeme bloķē Sauli arvien vairāk, un apgaismojums vēl vairāk samazinās. Pēc aptuveni stundas Zeme pilnībā nobloķē Sauli, Jūs atrodaties Zemes ēnā, un visapkārt ir tumšs. Attiecīgi, kad Zeme atkal atklāj Saules seju, aptumsums ir beidzies. Tik tālu par Mēness skatupunktu, bet Mēness aptumsumu mēs vērojam no Zemes, un te nākamais interesantais fakts. Brīdī, kad Saule attiecībā pret Mēnesi ir nobloķēta, mēs uz Zemes redzam nevis vienkārši tumšu, blāvu Mēness disku, bet Mēness seja kļūst “asiņaina”, un to arī sauc par “asiņaino Mēnesi”. Skaidrojumam palīdz fizika. Mēness aptumsuma laikā Saule izgaismo Zemi, tāpēc visa Saules gaisma, kas krīt uz Mēness virsmu, iziet cauri mūsu atmosfēras biezākajai daļai, iekrāsojot Mēnesi sārtā mirdzumā. Izskatās diezgan biedējoši, bet skaisti.  "Zinātnieki netiks apklusināti": tūkstošiem cilvēku protestē pret Donalda Trampa administrācijas politiku. Tūkstošiem pētnieku ASV pilsētās un arī Eiropā mītiņos ar saukli “Stand Up for Science”(jeb “Iestājieties par zinātni”) pauž protestu ASV prezidenta Donalda Trampa administrācijas darbībām, lai samazinātu zinātnisko darbaspēku un izdevumus pētniecībai.  Kopš stāšanās amatā janvārī Tramps un viņa komanda ir atlaiduši un dažos gadījumos mēģinājuši pieņemt atpakaļ darbā tūkstošiem darbinieku ASV zinātnes aģentūrās, kuru darbs bija saistīts ar kodoldrošību, putnu gripas uzraudzību, ekstrēmu laikapstākļu prognozēšanu un citiem jautājumiem. Administrācija ir arī mēģinājusi iesaldēt pētniecības dotācijas zinātnes finansēšanas aģentūrās, tostarp ASV Nacionālajā zinātnes fondā.  Vieni paši mītiņi gan izmaiņas neietekmēs, to jau pierādījuši protesti pagātnē, piemēram, 2017. gadā, kad pētnieki protestēja Trampa pirmā prezidentūras termiņa laikā. Taču svarīgi ir neklusēt, jo, kā norādījusi neirozinātniece Nensija Kanvišere: “Jūs nevarat vienkārši atlaist visus un pēc tam viņus atkal pieņemt darbā, kad tie ir nepieciešami. Zinātnieku paaudze būs zaudēta.” Par šī brīža protestiem plašāk vietnē “Nature”. Vai Latvijā ir retzemju metāli?  Visbeidzot, ja vēl par ģeopolitiku un zinātni, tad aicinām pašmāju portālā “Delfi” iepazīties ar rakstu par retzemju metāliem. Tieši Donalda Trampa un Ukrainas prezidenta Volodimira Zelenska iespējamais darījums par retzemju metāliem pēdējā laikā ir daudz figurējis ziņu virsrakstos, un “Delfu” rakstā labu skaidrojumu sniedzis ģeologs, Latvijas Universitātes asociētais profesors Ģirts Stinkulis. Viņš norāda, ka ne viss, kas ir reti sastopams, automātiski ir retzemju elementi. Tie ir pavisam konkrēti 17 elementi no Mendeļejeva periodiskās tabulas apakšējās daļas, piemēram, skandijs, itrijs, lantāns un citi, tiem ir augsta vērtība un praktiskais pielietojums, piemēram, elektronikā un militārajā jomā. Ukrainā tie ir pieejami, Latvijā par šo 17 elementu klātbūtni pierādījumu nav, bet mums ir ļoti daudz citu vērtīgu dabas resursu, piemēram, dzelzrūda. Par tās un citu atradņu nozīmi plašāk rakstā.

Raidījumu esam veltījuši Valentīna dienas noskaņām dzīvnieku pasaulē. Cilvēks ir radījis sarežģītu sociālo shēmu, kā iepazīstas, dibina kontaktus, draudzības, vēlāk arī partnerattiecības. Dzīvnieku pasaulē katrai sugai ir savi paradumi un stingri rakstīti likumi, kuriem sekot. Taču kā dzīvnieki nonāk viens otra uzmanības lokā, dzīvojot slēgtā vidē, piemēram, zooloģiskajā dārzā? Dabā stiprākais ir iekārojamāks pretēja dzimuma acīs, bet ģimenes dibināšana sākas ar skaistu gada parādi - riestu. Kā tas notiek ierobežotā vidē, piemēram, zooloģiskajā dārzā? Kā speciālisti darbojas par dzīvnieku "savedējiem" un kā rodas pēcnācēji šādos kontrolētos apstākļos? Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā atklāj Rīgas Nacionālā Zooloģiskā dārza pārstāvis Māris Lielkalns un ihtiologs, Zinātniskā institūta "BIOR" Jūras nodaļas vadītājs Ivars Putnis. Raidījuma ievadā zinātnes ziņas Afantāzija skar 2 līdz 4 procentus iedzīvotāju Mēs mēdzam lietot tādus teicienus kā “pafantazēsim - kā būtu, ja mēs tagad atrastos vienā vai otrā vietā”, “manās fantāzijās es dažkārt mēdzu darīt vienu vai otru lietu” un tamlīdzīgi. Bet izrādās, ka nelielai daļai pasaules iedzīvotāju ir afantāzija, un tas nozīmē, ka viņi nespēj neko vizuāli iztēloties, un par to tad vietnē “Live Science”. Tātad, ja cilvēkam ar afantāziju liek iedomāties, ka viņš, piemēram, atrodas pludmalē un redz rietošas saules starus, kas jūras virsmu oranžā un zeltainā krāsā, tad viņš visticamāk neko tādu neredzēs. Afantāzija skar 2 līdz 4 procentus iedzīvotāju, tomēr pētījumi par šo parādību vēl ir visai ierobežotā skaitā. Kafija nāk par labu cilvēka zarnu mikrobiomam Ja par afantāziju vēl daudz kas nav zināms, tad gadsimtiem ilgi daudz ir zināms par aromātisko dzērienu kafiju. Tajā pašā laikā ir parādījies daudz un dažādu versiju gan par kafiju, gan citiem produktiem, piemēram, šokolādi vai vīnu un to, kā tie atsaucas uz cilvēka organismu. Uzticēties var speciālistiem - ārstiem, kuri, ja runājam kafiju, ir teikuši, ka divas līdz trīs kafijas tases dienā organismam nekaitē un pat nāk pat labu, piemēram, sirds veselībai, un šoreiz apstājāmies pie raksta vietnē “Scientific American”, kurā vēstīts par kafijas labvēlīgo ietekmi uz zarnu baktēriju darbību - par šo aspektu nudien līdz šim nekas plaši nav bijis zināms. Mikro- un nanoplastmasa spēj uzkrāties cilvēka galvas smadzenēs Vēl īpaši pēdējo gadu laikā ir bijis daudz publikāciju par mikroplastmasu - plastmasas daļiņām, kas mazākas par pieciem milimetriem un var būt pat ar izmēru viens nanometrs, ko mēs ar aci tad redzēt nevaram. Ir bijuši skaidrojumi, ka mikroplastmasa nu jau pilnīgi noteikti nonāk mūsu organismā, ņemot vērā, kādi plastmasas kalni peld gan jūrās un okeānos, gan vienkārši ir kaut kur izsviesti. “CNN” publicēts raksts, kur minētas atsauces uz dažādos laikos veiktiem pētījumiem, tostarp uz pavisam nesen publicētu pētījumu žurnālā “Nature Medicine”. Šajā pētījumā zinātnieki analizējuši smadzeņu, nieru un aknu audus, kas jau agrākos gados iegūti no cilvēkiem, kuriem veikta tiesu ekspertīze. Smadzeņu audos salīdzinājumā ar aknām un nierēm konstatētas lielākas polietilēna proporcijas, un, kas vēl būtiski, lielāka mikro- un nanoplastmasas koncentrācija novērota to mirušo cilvēku smadzeņu paraugos, kuriem ir bijusi fiksēta demence, attiecīgi mikro- un nanoplastmasa ievērojami nogulsnējusies uz smadzeņu asinsvadu sieniņām un imūnajās šūnās.    

VYS0048 | Chinese Sex Balloons - Vayse to Face with Edwina Quatermass-Palmer - Show Notes Making her podcasting debut, Hine and Buckley welcome the weird, wonderful and wonderfully weird Edwina Quatermass-Palmer to Vayse. Worker of a job so secret that Hine and Buckley actually know what she does, possessor of the coolest name available to the English speaking world and wearer of a genuinely gravity defying hairstyle, EQP is an original and brilliant thinker, a valuable and treasured member of the Vayse discord community, a musician and rambler on the path less travelled. The conversation moves from early paranormal experiences in the, frankly incredibly named, Christmas Room of the Jacobean house that she grew up in, to her discovery of Crowley, root work and her dabbling in Chaos Magick. One of the most fascinating and unusual facets of EQP is her life-long relationship with the Great God Pan, and she talks in detail about how he appears to her, how he communicates with her and what this has meant to her over the years. The free ranging discussion also touches on the nature of creativity, retro-causality, the art and influence of the late, great David Lynch, and the question on everyone's lips... is EQP CIA?... (Recorded 3 February 2025) Thanks to EQP for being so candid and open with us on her first podcast and thanks, as always goes to the great Keith, working to make sure that these podcasts make some semblance of sense, one show note at a time.

I Am Changed (Identity Series)Romans 3:23-24 “For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard. Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty of our sins.”We have all done things in the past that we are not proud of, and sometimes, we get stuck thinking about those things. We replay them over and over again in our minds and think about how different our lives would be if we had not done them. Some of us think that the things we did were so bad that there is no way God could ever forgive us or love us. Regret is a terrible thing. It sucks the life out of the present moment if you let it. Our minds are powerful, and we will believe what they tell us. We may know in our hearts that God will always forgive us if we truly repent. We know in our hearts that God will always love us no matter what we do and that we do not have to earn his love. However, sometimes, that little voice inside of us will listen to the enemy, and our brain will believe the lies that he tells us. Romans 3:23 says, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” The evil one likes to take this phrase and use it to whisper things in our ears like, “See, no one is good enough,” or “No matter what you do, you will always fall short of God's standards.” He tells us that we shouldn't even bother because we are not enough. Do you ever feel that way, like you are not enough? What many of us may not know is what the very next verse, Romans 3:24, says, “Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty of our sins.” Yes, we all sin, but God's grace “makes us right in his sight.” Another way the enemy likes to get to us is to tell us that we will never change. That we are still the same person who did that thing we regret. If we strive to change, he tells us that we can't change. He reminds us of the things we have done in the past and whispers that we will do it again. There is a song I heard for the first time on the Big Life Devotional, and it is “Slave to Nothing” by Zach Williams. In this song he says:You can tell me what I did
You can show me who I was before
Where I fell short
Hang it over my head
But I'm not the same anymore
One thing's for sure
The shackles have fallen
So I'm showing shame to the door
Make no mistake
I'm a slave, to nothingIf you get a chance to listen to this song, I highly recommend it. click hereJust because you have acted a certain way in the past does not mean that you have to act that way forever. You can decide to repent and change your ways at any point in time, and God will be there to forgive you and welcome you in with open arms. Think about the many saints that have had beginnings that were not so great. One of the most illustrious saints, I think, is St. Augustine of Hippo. He was a man who was known for having not one but two mistresses. He ran around for years before having a change of heart and settling down at 31. St. Augustine went on to become a Doctor of the Church. Then there is also Saint Mary of Egypt, who ran away from home at 12 and spent a dozen years living on the street as a seductress. According to Craughwell in an article in Live Science, “Nothing made her happier than corrupting innocent young Christian men.” Saint Mary went to Jerusalem looking for young Christian boys to seduce. At the doors to the church, she felt a strange force repulsing her, and she immediately changed her ways. There was also Saint Camillus de Lellis, a priest from Italy that founded one of the first healthcare organizations for the needy. He started out as a cardsharp, con man, and mercenary. There are also lots of modern-day examples of people who had a rough start. Jennifer Aniston, who is one of the most famous actors because of her role in the sitcom Friends, had 4 failed sitcoms in a row before she landed the role on Friends. Tim Allen, who starred in Home Improvement, is now starring in Last Man Standing and was also the voice of Buzz Lightyear in the Toy Story Movies. In 1979, he was caught with many illegal substances and went to jail for over 2 years. Then he got his life together and became the actor we know and love today. Oprah Winfrey grew up in poverty and did not have the best childhood. She was molested during her childhood and early teens and became pregnant at 14; her son was born too early and died in infancy. Can you imagine the things the enemy was trying to tell her? What was he trying to tell all of these people? What if these people would have believed the lies that they could not become anything different? If they believed that the version of themselves that was not enough or prone to sinning was all they could ever be? What if they stopped reaching for more because they believed they could never achieve more? What lies do you believe? How much more could you accomplish or become if you stopped believing the lies? You may have made mistakes in the past. You may wish that you could change certain things. Do not let those things hold you back from being who you are today. Do not believe the lies that you are not enough, lazy, selfish, greedy, etc. Just because you may have been those things in the past does not mean that you have to be those things in the future. You can be whoever you want to be because God has redeemed you with his grace!~ The blog this week was inspired by The Big Life Devotional by Pamela Crim.

VYS0047 | The Weird Review Of The Year 2024 - Show Notes [Caution: This episode contains an extreme weariness for bullshit that some listeners may find triggering] 2024 was a tough year, weird but tough. And looking back over it doesn't make it any better. In what amounts to a rapid and inexorable descent into madness Hine and Buckley pick apart the weird and, frankly, fucking dystopian year that was 2024. Bouncing between jaded despair and hysterical mania the Vayse boys mull over the topics that dominated 2024: UFOs, Artificial Intelligence and Elon Fucking Musk. Whilst stumbling around in the intoxicating embrace of the seemingly endless darkness they also uncover strange stories of interconnected dreams, robot dogs with flame throwers, robot faces with living skin, bowls of goo with pong skills, plots to genetically engineer super-sheep, a surprising number of goblin attacks and perhaps, maybe, possibly a giant lake dwelling cow...? Recorded 22 January 2025 Massive thanks to Keith who had to tackle the show notes for this long and difficult episode - you can follow him at: : @peakflow.bsky.social As usual, the news stories in this episode were sourced from the weird and wonderous website: https://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/ - bookmark it and check it daily.

Jau vairākas desmitgades zinātnieki meklē veidu, kā atdarināt to, kas dabā tik šķietami viegli tiek veidots – zirnekļa zīdu. No kā šis dzīvnieks tik prasmīgi veido savus tīklus? Ne reizi vien dzirdēts, ka šis biomateriāls pārspēj pat tēraudu un cilvēka radītu izturīgāko polimēru gan stingrībā, gan elastībā. Kā dabisku zirnekļa zīdu var radīt mākslīgi un kādam nolūkam tas kalpotu? Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā skaidro Latvijas Universitātes Medicīnas un dzīvības zinātņu fakultātes dekāns, profesors un ķīmiķis, Organiskās sintēzes institūta (OSI) vadošais pētnieks Kristaps Jaudzems, Latvijas Universitātes Medicīnas un dzīvības zinātņu fakultātes doktorants, Organiskās sintēzes institūta zinātniskais asistents Viktors Romaņuks un jaunuzņēmuma "PrintyMed" vadītāja Jekaterina Romanova. Kā zirneklis pin savu tīklu un no kā tas sastāv, vairāk stāsta zirnekļu pētniece Inese Cera. Zirnekļu zīds ir viens no izturīgākajiem dabas materiāliem, un jau vairākas desmitgades zinātnieki aktīvi pēta tā īpašības un meklē veidus, kā to atdarināt. Šis biomateriāls izceļas ar unikālu stingrības un elastības kombināciju, kas pārsniedz pat kevlāra un tērauda īpašības. Turklāt zirnekļu zīds ir bioloģiski saderīgs un bioloģiski noārdāms, padarot to par daudzsološu materiālu ne tikai materiālzinātnei, bet arī medicīnas un kosmētikas nozarēm. Tomēr zirnekļu zīda proteīnu (spidroīnu) iegūšana no zirnekļiem industriālos apjomos nav iespējama viņu kanibālistiskā un teritoriālā dzīvesveida dēļ. Šis ierobežojums ir veicinājis alternatīvu spidroīnu iegūšanas metožu izstrādi biotehnoloģiskā ceļā. OSI ar sadarbības partneriem Kristapa Jaudzema vadībā ir izstrādājis inovatīvu metodi mākslīgā zirnekļa zīda šķiedru iegūšanai ar uzlabotām fizikālajām īpašībām, kuru elastība ir gandrīz divreiz lielāka nekā dabiskajam zirnekļa zīdam. Latvijas Zinātņu akadēmija šo atklājumu ir atzinusi par vienu no izcilākajiem sasniegumiem zinātnē 2024. gadā. Pētījums tapis, sadarbojoties pētniekiem Latvijas Organiskās sintēzes institūtā, Latvijas Universitātē, Rīgas Tehniskajā universitātē un Karolinskas institūtā Zviedrijā. Pirms iepazīstam, kā zinātnieki spējuši radīt zirnekļa zīdu, zinātnes ziņas. Par pupiņām uz Marsa, smadzeņu implantu, kas darbina virtuālu dronu, ASV prezidenta inaugurācijas ceremonijas vēsturi un notikumiem Latvijas zinātnē, tostarp ornitoloģijā stāsts zinātnes ziņās. Marsa satelītattēlos pamanītās pupiņām līdzīgās ģeoloģiskās formas varētu norādīt uz ūdens un dzīvības pazīmēm. Iespējams, dzirdot šoteikumu, kādiem rodas jautājums: “Kādas vēl pupiņas uz Marsa?” Bet fotogrāfijas, kas pēdējās nedēļas laikā ne reizi vien bijusi ieraugāma tīmeklī, ataino ēdamajām pupiņām vienreizēji līdzīgus objektus, bet tās gan nav ēdamās pupiņas. Tās ir ģeoloģiskas formas, kas patiesībā ir sasalušas smilšu kāpas. Attēlu var apskatīt arī vietnē “Live Science”.  Smadzeņu implants ļauj paralizētam cilvēkam ar domu spēku vadīt virtuālu dronu. Konkrētajam cilvēkam ir tetraplēģija, attiecīgi visu četru locekļu - kāju, roku - paralīze. Līdz ar to cilvēks, tikai skatoties uz dronu ekrānā, vienkārši domā, ka kustina pirkstus. Cilvēka smadzeņu signālus interpretē mākslīgā intelekta modelis, kas tālāk tiek izmantots, lai vadītu simulētu dronu. Labākam priekšstatam par šo var ielūkoties vietnē “Nature”. Amerikas inaugurācijas tradīcijas aizsākušās pirms daudziem gadsimtiem. Vēl viens šīs nedēļas būtisks notikums ir ASV 47. prezidenta Donalda Trampa inaugurācijas ceremonija, un temats, kas arī ir vesela pētījuma cienīgs, tā ir inaugurācijas tradīciju vēsture. Par šo tad stāstu var meklēt “Nacionālās ģeogrāfijas” vietnē. Kā tur norādīts, tad, neskatoties uz to, ka inaugurācijas diena parasti tiek svinēta ar dažādām parādēm un ballēm, tas nav stāsts tikai par greznību. ASV vēsture apliecinājusi, ka pat pēc strīdīgām vēlēšanām, pat Pilsoņu kara laikā, prezidenta inaugurācija ir bijis galvenais simbols miermīlīgai varas nodošanai, un tas ir viens no Amerikas konstitucionālās demokrātijas pamatiem.  Par inaugurācijas tradīciju evolūciju vairāk lasāms “Nacionālās ģeogrāfijas” lappusēs. Nedēļas nogalē ikvienu aicina stundas garumā pie barotavām skaitīt ziemojošos putnus. Latvijas Ornitoloģijas biedrība no 24. līdz 26. janvārim aicina ikvienu stundas garumā piedalīties akcijā “Ziņo par putniem dārzā 2025”.

“CAN NECROMANCY REALLY RAISE THE DEAD?” #WeirdDarknessRadio WEEK OF JAN 12-18, 2025==========HOUR ONE: I'm pretty sure that unless you were born of a virgin, died, and then rose from the grave three days later, no one has had any real success at bringing people back from the underworld. But that's exactly what people who practice necromancy try to do – wake the dead. They can't be successful at it though, can they? (Raising The Dead) *** The people of Japan have a myth of a terrible snake-like creature with death-dealing powers called a Tsuchinoko. But unlike many legends, there have been modern sightings of this bizarre cryptid. Is it real? If so, what could it be? (Is The Legendary Tsuchinoko Real?) *** At the age of only 14, George Stinney Jr. was the youngest person in history to be put to death in the electric chair. Then, seventy years later he was proven innocent. (The Execution of an Innocent) ***They were cigar-shaped, glowed red and could turn on a dime. Which ruled out even the most sophisticated rockets of the time. What is it that World War II fighter pilots were seeing in the skies flying with them? (The UFOs of World War 2) ==========HOUR TWO: All families have their ups and downs. However, when you find a clan where an infanticide trial is arguably the least worst thing to happen to them, it's safe to say you've found one very special household… the Mabbitt family. 
(The Confusing Disappearance of Luella Mabbitt) *** A woman moves into a home where the past three residents went insane. What could possibly go wrong? (The House With The Unfortunate Past) *** Bartholomew Roberts, better known as the in famous pirate Black Bart, operated in the Caribbean and the Atlantic Ocean from 1719 to 1722. He was easily the most successful pirate of the Golden Age of Piracy, having been known to have captured over 400 ships in his day. But could it be true that he was actually forced to become a pirate against his will? (Was Black Bart Forced To Become a Pirate?) *** If you could choose a superpower, what would it be? Invisibility? Flight? Super strength or speed? What about X-ray vision like Superman? Would you believe there was a man in the 20th century who did have x-ray vision, without technology to do it? He had a few other superpowers as well! (The Man With The X-Ray Eyes)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: It was the slaying that shocked Australia. Sometime on the night of December 26th, 1898, Michael Murphy and his two younger sisters were slaughtered as they traveled back from Gatton in southeastern Australia.

This week, we'll get lost in the mind boggling mystery that is the Dyatlov Pass case, when 9 experienced hikers died under suspicious and unexplainable circumstances while traversing Russia's Ural Mountains in 1959. When a group of ski/hikers led by 23 year old student Igor Dyatlov failed to return after a 3 week journey, search parties were sent. They quickly found the group's abandoned tent, cut open from the inside. Not long after that, the bodies were discovered. But the condition of the bodies raised more questions than it answered. No single theory adequately explains how the 9 hikers died. Was it an avalanche? Weapons testing by the Russian military gone wrong? A yeti??? When Russia reopened the investigation in 2019, Swiss avalanche researchers used an unconventional method to try to prove or disprove the avalanche theory. They reached out to the creators of Disney's animated film "Frozen" to get their snow animation code. What did their simulations tell us? Is it case closed for the Dyatlov Pass incident or does the mystery persist?

Polish-American man Leo Gerstenzang is credited with inventing the humble cotton bud in the 1920s, an item which has since gone on to be used for many different purposes, having originally been thought up as a baby hygiene product.Yougov research from 2019 found that 62% of Brits use cotton buds to clean their ears, and 22% of us only use them for that purpose. That's particularly true for men, given women are more likely to use them for touching up nail polish mistakes, or applying make up.  But you may well have heard warnings that cotton buds can be bad for you. 2019 also saw the unlikely case of a man who developed a severe bacterial infection, which sprread to the lining of his brain, after the tip of a cotton bud got stuck inside his ear. He ended up having a seizure and had to be treated at University Hostpital Coventry, according to Livescience.com. How can I clean my ears then? Are there any safe ways?

But what few do not know is that there is a theory that there was someone before Yuri Gagarin – and the story has been kept a secret.

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises! (Psalm 98:4). In this Adventures in Lutheranism episode, Rachel shares her recent experience joining a new-to-her church choir.   Beginning with a brief foray into the history of sacred choral music — from ancient Greece to Garrison Keillor and beyond — she then examines the physical and mental health benefits of singing in groups and ponders the long decline of church choirs (even as choral singing in general has been on the rise). She invites Sarah and Erin to relate their own experiences with church choirs before sharing her personal choral history up to the present day. At the end of the episode, she airs interviews with each of her four children, who confirm that church choir is absolutely for all ages.   Sources cited in this episode include:   Choir - Wikipedia  Why do Lutherans Sing?

We'll look at the origins of the werewolf, look at whether they are actually real, and if so, how one goes about becoming one, and some of the cures believed to release the man from the beast. Of course, it's not always the Wolf-Man… sometimes it's the Wolf-Woman. We'll look at the most fearsome lady werewolves throughout history! I'll tell you about the trials and punishments of those convicted of being werewolves – many probably wish they'd have confessed to being witches instead! Plus, what if I was to tell you that werewolves truly ARE real – and that a small village has been terrorized by them for decades – right up to modern day? There is convincing evidence to back up my claim! All of this and more werewolfism can be found in this episode!

Experiencing something strange is one thing. Experiencing two strange things in two different places might be called a coincidence. But when you experience three strange things in three different places, as Chet Guthrie did – you have to wonder if maybe the weirdness if following you around. (Three Events In Three Places of Really Weird Happenings) *** The Georgian Britains were obsessed with clean air, which was not surprising… because there was practically no clean air to obsess about. Even less-so in and around the cemeteries. (The Stench of Georgian Graveyards) *** A woman typically carries a baby for nine months before pregnancy. Sometimes a bit longer, sometimes a bit shorter, but that's the average. Technology has made it possible for the baby to be born much sooner if complications were to arise, and still survive to be a healthy child. But we might have a new record on shortest pregnancy. One woman in Indonesia is claiming she gave birth after being pregnant for only one hour.

HOUR ONE: All families have their ups and downs. However, when you find a clan where an infanticide trial is arguably the least worst thing to happen to them, it's safe to say you've found one very special household… the Mabbitt family. 
(The Confusing Disappearance of Luella Mabbitt) *** A woman moves into a home where the past three residents went insane. What could possibly go wrong? (The House With The Unfortunate Past) *** Bartholomew Roberts, better known as the in famous pirate Black Bart, operated in the Caribbean and the Atlantic Ocean from 1719 to 1722. He was easily the most successful pirate of the Golden Age of Piracy, having been known to have captured over 400 ships in his day. But could it be true that he was actually forced to become a pirate against his will? (Was Black Bart Forced To Become a Pirate?) *** If you could choose a superpower, what would it be? Invisibility? Flight? Super strength or speed? What about X-ray vision like Superman? Would you believe there was a man in the 20th century who did have x-ray vision, without technology to do it? He had a few other superpowers as well! (The Man With The X-Ray Eyes)==========HOUR TWO: I'm pretty sure that unless you were born of a virgin, died, and then rose from the grave three days later, no one has had any real success at bringing people back from the underworld. But that's exactly what people who practice necromancy try to do – wake the dead. They can't be successful at it though, can they? (Raising The Dead) *** The people of Japan have a myth of a terrible snake-like creature with death-dealing powers called a Tsuchinoko. But unlike many legends, there have been modern sightings of this bizarre cryptid. Is it real? If so, what could it be? (Is The Legendary Tsuchinoko Real?) *** At the age of only 14, George Stinney Jr. was the youngest person in history to be put to death in the electric chair. Then, seventy years later he was proven innocent. (The Execution of an Innocent) ***They were cigar-shaped, glowed red and could turn on a dime. Which ruled out even the most sophisticated rockets of the time. What is it that World War II fighter pilots were seeing in the skies flying with them? (The UFOs of World War 2) ==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: It was the slaying that shocked Australia. Sometime on the night of December 26th, 1898, Michael Murphy and his two younger sisters were slaughtered as they traveled back from Gatton in southeastern Australia.

We'll go all the way back to ancient Babylon, cruise through ancient Greece and Rome and then spend some time in London and, later, Washington DC. Several of the "ghosts" we'll hear about have even been subjects of past History Fix episodes!

Why? The story is a strange one! (The Victorian Female Barber in Court) *** Sometimes the sour attitude of a mother-in-law can not only break up a marriage, but it can lead to murder. (A Day of Blood) *** We'll look at a murder that was described quite well in an editorial in Truth magazine saying: “There have been murders in the hot blood of passion, assassinations prompted by wrong, by jealousy, by greed of gain but this is none of these. It is simply the crime of a vile-tempered bilious wretch, far too many of whose like are still at large, perpetuated not only on a victim who had more case to feel aggrieved at them than he at her, but perpetuated with every suggestion of premeditation.” Why did William Sindram murder Catherine Crave? (Shot Down Remorselessly) *** There have been so many accidents and mysterious disappearances on one particular stretch of road in Australia that it has earned an ominous nickname… “The Highway of Death”. We'll look at the infamous length of asphalt named Flinders Highway. (Highway Vanishings Down Under) *** UFO stories are a dime a dozen. Even stories of UFOs crashing have become humdrum for many. But what if I were to tell you that there was a UFO crash in Missouri that was so fantastic that a local pastor was asked to come and pray over the three dead alien bodies found at the crash site? (The Cape Girardeau UFO Crash) *** "What people sometimes don't get about science is that we often have phenomena that remain unexplained," said an astrophysicist at MIT. Turns out he was referring to unidentified flying objects.

In this episode, Swami Sarvapriyananda, neuroscientist Prof. Marjorie Woollacott, and cognitive scientist Prof. John Verveke explore the nature of consciousness. Moderated by Scott Snibbe, the discussion explores the fundamental questions surrounding consciousness: What is it? What does it do? Swami Sarvapriyananda offers insights from Advaita Vedanta, suggesting consciousness is a fundamental reality that illuminates our experiences. Prof. Woollacott describes it as a vast, limitless awareness responsible for the universe's essence, while Prof. Vervaeke addresses the integration of consciousness and function, highlighting its role in salience landscaping in complex situations. The speakers provide diverse perspectives from science, philosophy, and spirituality, offering viewers a comprehensive understanding of this age-old mystery."I think as this infinite consciousness is the essence and the foundation of the universe.
