I stumbled upon a fascinating post the other day. It spoke of captive alien beings, held by the USA in underground facilities. The post, by Nicholas Robson, offers up some questions about this notion. How did we come to capture these beings, if they possess advanced and superior technology? Why were these NHIs not rescued […]
Let us return to the glorious realm of the Meerkat Muse! We start at the end, so to speak. To put it another way, we start at the end of the past two weeks, and a special trip to London… Chasing Phantoms Full confession, The Phantom of the Opera does not interest me. It has […]
Recently, David Thiessen of Theology Archaeology (who remains too cowardly and too afraid to use my real name, or link to my site, because he is afraid of accountability, I wonder if I should resume using his real details, instead of remaining complicit in his deceit?), wrote an angry post, where he took aim at […]
If there is anything that offers a satisfying, memorable testament to human endeavour, it’s the epic journeys of the Voyager space probes. Launched in the late 1970s, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 (ironically, Voyager 2 launched first) have returned some incredible information about the solar system, and now they have given us a glimpse as […]
We are halfway to Christmas, and approaching the end of 2023! However, before we reminisce, what do we make of December’s opening bow? Before I can answer that, I need to take you back to a couple of Wednesdays ago, and a change… Bins go Bonkers I am all for recycling. I think it’s a […]
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-66893661 The above news article is a testament to the ingenuity of human endeavour. In 2020, the NASA spacecraft Osiris-Rex collected samples of rock and dust from the asteroid Bennu (incidentally, the asteroid considered the most dangerous by NASA, in terms of hitting earth any time soon). On the 24th of September 2023, a probe […]
Autumn is truly upon us. Welcome to the Meerkat Muse. October is normally when things start to take a colder turn, but then, UK weather is increasingly unpredictable, so who knows? Lonely Times Work has delivered more lone-trading occasions, and will bring more in the coming weeks. This isn’t a huge, insurmountable problem for me […]
Time for a topic that dives into some very not-suitable-for-word territory. If you are sensitive to bad language, I advise you to skip this post. I will be discussing rude words. If swear words don’t faze you, or if your curiosity has gotten the better of you, read on! So, what are swear words? In […]
It goes without saying that understanding how the universe came into being is a fundamental question, one that drives a lot of scientific endeavour, as well as a lot of theological and philosophical questions. Sometimes (well, a lot of the time) the scientific study clashes with the theological study. A lot of religious believers operate […]
Welcome back one and all, to the Meerkat Muse, on this autumn morn. Record Highs September is often the month where temperatures in the UK begin to trail off. The days get shorter, the nights therefore get longer, and the weather begins to change. However, in the UK, temps of 30C or higher were recorded […]
Since getting home, the cat has been convinced he's owed about a million meals, and has incessantly reminded us of this.
The Daily Mail readership has dropped 32%, people are saying they will be bankrupt before 2030 because no-one wants to advertise in them.
I'm sure that if we RT we can bring their downfall sooner, and GB News too.
Well, it's been a hectic week in sunny Sicily, hot and lovely, albeit I feel like I've barely tanned!
Returning to Nesslabs for inspiration, we find ourselves pondering what it would mean to upload our mind to the cloud. The merging of meerkat and machine is an intriguing, frightening, exciting prospect. Uploading is an idea explored by by the TV show Upload (which I am yet to see), and it’s basically a means of […]
