Eucharist is known as Christianity’s oldest ritual and in this context also known as Holy Communion. But as Paul Davidson explains greatly and extensively, this ritual has much older roots and was practiced by also many other cults. Magicians of all cultures also practice this ritual, although usually on a more abstract level. Magicians imagine […]

Germany’s politicians live in the delusion of a man-made climate change. They counter it by squeezing money out of German citizens and giving it to Ukrainian billionaires, who let it disappear in dark channels. Because this policy obviously is useless in fighting a climate change, so the German government already years ago decided an energy […]

The poem “The Chaos” provides many examples for what I call the Anglo-Saxon twist, which makes communication between native speakers of English and native speakers of other languages really difficult. I have doubts about English native speakers really finding this way of speaking easier. A tweet, which wants to be a meme, however comprises another […]

This Curiosity Rover, which explores Mars since already 2012, recently (published in last February) made a new discovery. Curiosity had already in 2024 discovered an unexpected high content of manganese dioxide in rock samples from the Gale Crater. This already was a hint that microbes could have existed there. Curiosity recently discovered organic molecules in […]

Because getting the one-million dollars from the James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF) challenge is impossible without the applicant previously financing it with several million dollars, so serious psi-researchers countered the JREF challenge with an own challenge. Skeptics can apply to get one-million dollars from the Zammit challenge, initiated by the lawyer Victor Zammit and funded […]

Today and on March, 15th in each year is Everything You Think Is Wrong Day! Why this day was chosen and since when this fancy holiday exists is forgotten. Why it exists also is unknown. Known is only that it isn’t about not knowing. It’s about wrong mindsets causing trouble for yourself or to clash […]

Researchers from the Chinese Agricultural University did in last January examine the influence of baculoviruses on cotton bollworms (Helicoverpa armigera). When a caterpillar contracted a baculovirus, then the baculovirus enters cells in the intestine, where it not only replicates, but also makes the intestine cells produce the neuropeptide tachykinin. Thus the baculoviruses count into the […]

The interview with the researcher on the Shroud of Turin had two parts. I wrote my article on this interview already after I had watched only the first part. After I had the opportunity to watch also the second part, I understood that I should have written more already on the first part. There would […]
