About Me

My photo
Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a daily basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

These Are The Stories I Have Been Reading, What Are You Reading?

Did anyone watch the
The
Rosetta Spacecraft
crashing into
Comet 67P?
Don't tell me any spoilers,
because I haven't watched the recording I made of the
program of the event.
If you have been following along
or have been taking notes,
last week I said
Saturdays
is my day for
Science.
In the broadest sense of the word.
Since I have so many
Links
that I have saved to do stories on,
there isn't enough
Saturdays
in the
Year
for me to do a story on each one.
Especially when new stories happen everyday.
Instead of deleting these
Links
I am going to put them on this
Blog
every
Saturday
until I catch up,
then I'll write about any new
Science
when it comes out.

Oldest fossils found in Greenland, from time Earth was like Mars
"The earliest fossil evidence of life on Earth has been found in rocks 3.7 billion years old in Greenland, raising chances of life on Mars aeons ago when both planets were similarly desolate, scientists said on Wednesday."

Hubble discovers rare fossil relic of early Milky Way
"A fossilized remnant of the early Milky Way harboring stars of hugely different ages has been revealed by an international team of astronomers. This stellar system resembles a globular cluster, but is like no other cluster known. It contains stars remarkably similar to the most ancient stars in the Milky Way and bridges the gap in understanding between our galaxy's past and its present."

What's that Flipper, dolphins really CAN talk? Scientists record two of the sea creatures having a conversation for the first time
"Scientists have finally recorded dolphins having a conversation for the first time ever after decades of research. A pair of the marine mammals were observed using clicks and pulses to form distinct 'words', in theory constructing sentences to communicate with each other. The breakthrough was made after researchers developed an underwater microphone designed specifically to pick up on the exchanges. The two Black Sea bottle-nose dolphins, Yasha and Yana, were observed waiting for the other to finish their 'sentence' before replying back."

3D Map Of Milky Way: European Space Agency’s Gaia Telescope Plots Position, Brightness Of Over 1 Billion Stars
"The Milky Way — the galaxy in which we float along as an insignificant speck — is estimated to have roughly 100 billion stars. The observable universe, 93 billion light-years across, is believed to have over 100 billion galaxies — many of which are much bigger than our own."

Human skeleton discovered at Antikythera shipwreck after more than 2,000 years at the bottom of the sea
"Buried beneath sand and the fragments of ancient pottery, researchers have discovered the 2,000-year-old remains of a sailor who died upon the ill-fated 'Antikythera ship.'Archaeologists have investigated the famous shipwreck off a tiny Greek island for which it's named for over a century, revealing a trove of remarkable artefacts – including the mysterious 'Antikythera Mechanism,' thought to be a 'guide to the galaxy.'Now, this latest achievement could allow the researchers to conduct an unprecedented DNA analysis of human bones that have survived thousands of years at sea, providing a glimpse at life in the first century BCE."

These Are The Stories I Have Been Reading,
What Are Yours?
Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“It is not my intention to be fulsome, but I confess that I covet your skull.”
- Arthur Conan Doyle, -


That is my story and I am sticking to it!
