Strange Anomalies, Mass Concentrations, And Things Found In Radio Silence
For all — ok, most — of human history, half the moon was completely invisible to us. Literally.
The moon is tidally locked, so the same stupid face always points toward Earth. The far side was a blank space in human knowledge until 1959, something that only managed to unsettle us.
The weird thing is that once we did look, the far side turned out to be genuinely strange — not in a “little different than expected” way, but in a “why is that there” kind of way that only makes us want to know more.

This post-rock masterpiece weaves atmospheric soundscapes and powerful post-metal crescendos into an emotional exploration of forgotten civilizations and the enigmatic monoliths they left behind. Each track unfolds like a chapter in a cosmic saga,
blending haunting melodies, thunderous riffs, and moments of profound silence that echo the solitude of space.

I spent some time at the University of Edinburgh working on a Masters of Science in the Philosophy of Science. I remember watching great scientific minds do something a bit odd.
Right when they reached an obvious conclusion, they would suddenly pretend to be blind.
It was like someone who contracted a fatal disease but didn’t want to die, so they simply remained in denial until the end.
Here’s an example. Modern cosmology has achieved what earlier ages could scarcely imagine. It has constructed mathematically rigorous models describing the evolution of the universe from its earliest measurable moments. Yet the closer science moves
toward the beginning, the less explanatory power it seems to possess. Theories proliferate and equations grow elegant, but the fundamental question of why there is something rather than nothing remains unanswered.
I have a feeling I know the answer, but so many of my scientific colleagues were simply unable to take the step.
What follows is not a dismissal of science, but a careful examination of its most serious attempts to explain the origin of the universe, and the reasons those attempts remain incomplete.
The claim that Jesus of Nazareth rose bodily from the dead is not merely a theological assertion. It is a historical claim. And historical claims stand or fall on evidence.
The common caricature is that belief in the resurrection requires a leap into blind faith. But that framing collapses under scrutiny. Christianity, from its earliest strata, has insisted on something quite different: public events, verifiable witnesses, and
falsifiable claims.
If the resurrection did not happen, Christianity is false. That is not my statement. It is the apostle Paul’s (1 Corinthians 15:14).This is not mythic mysticism. It is a historical wager.
Let’s examine the evidence.
1. Early eyewitness testimony
The earliest written testimony to the resurrection comes not from the Gospels, but from one of Paul’s letters.
In 1 Corinthians 15:3–8, Paul writes:
“For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received…”
He then recites a structured tradition stating that Christ died for sins, was buried, was raised on the third day, appeared to the inner circle, then to more than 500 brothers…
International Children’s Book Day is celebrated annually on April 2 to inspire a love of reading among children and
honor the legacy of Hans Christian Andersen.
International Children’s Book Day (ICBD) is a global celebration of children’s literature, observed every year on April 2,
the birthday of Danish author Hans Christian Andersen, famous for fairy tales like The Little Mermaidand The Ugly Duckling.
Established in 1967 by the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY), the day aims to promote reading,
highlight the diversity of children’s literature, and foster empathy, imagination, and cultural understanding among young readers.

Iran’s parliament votes to close vital Strait of Hormuz
However, the final decision lies with Iran's national security council, an MP said on state-run television.

ISTANBUL: Iran’s parliament has approved a measure to close the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s most important gateway for oil transport, following US strikes on three nuclear facilities, a senior lawmaker said on Sunday, according to media reports.
“The parliament has reached the conclusion that the Strait of Hormuz should be closed,” said Esmaeil Kowsari, a member of the parliament’s national security commission in statements carried by state-run television.
“The final decision in this regard lies with the Supreme National Security Council,” Kowsari added. The council serves as Iran’s highest security authority.
The parliamentary vote came after US aircraft bombed three Iranian nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. The attacks came as the latest escalation in a US-backed Israeli military assault on Iran since June 13, prompting Tehran to launch
retaliatory attacks on Israel.
How to contact an Archangel and receive a message
Archangels are sentient. They understand your situation.
An angel, especially an archangel, will come flying forward to meet you in a moment of despair.
He won’t mess you about.
He will tell you quite clearly to get down for cover, or he may remove you altogether from an unfriendly place.
You may think this is intuition, but it isn’t.
Plenty of people do not rush for cover in a gun attack. They stand firm, and then they get killed. People freeze. You won’t do this, for you are evolved.
What an angelic command achieves is to galvanise your whole body and get it moving. The angel Gabriel moves your cells, your plasma. He gets your heart rushing, and mostly, he convinces you not to cry. Please don’t cry, he tells you. There’s no time for
it. Crying is a waste of energy. You need to move. Get on your feet and run.
An angel also tells you to stay put.
He decides what it is you need to do to survive. He is a healer and a makeshift convincer that the Earth's terrain matters. He'll ham it up if necessary.
