Exploring bleeding edge experiments, oddities, new and bizarre dicoveries, and fact-checking conspiracy theories since 2008. No question is out of bounds and no topic is too strange for a deep dive.
# sci-fi saturday
Each installment of Sci-Fi Saturday and attempt at introducing science fiction at Weird Things was given a very positive reception, so the experiment is expanding. Here’s how and why.
# astrobiology
Nick Redfern’s publishers really didn't like having his theory debunked...
# science
Curtis White fancies himself a man of deep thought and keep insight. His "nuh-uh" take on Dawkins' The God Delusion shows otherwise.
# evolution
If Darwin never published his treatise, we'd still have a theory of evolution almost identical to the one we have today thanks to his contemporaries.
# politics
If the world ever tried to come together as one government the reason wouldn't be pan-species utopianism, but cold, hard cash.
# oddities
The sci-fi experiment is now loose on Amazon.com for less than the price of a latte.
# oddities
Right wing conspiracy theorists are really, really, really invested in a New World Order plot they believe is outlined in a document called Agenda 21...
# science
No good deed goes unpunished, including writing a science book that will get critiqued by scientists who aren't shy about getting pedantic.
# politics
R.I.P. Christopher Hitchens, 04.13.1949 - 12.15.2011
# oddities
Even a cursory glance at post-modernism shows that it's basically just trendy nonsense. Emphasis on nonsense.
