Paramecia don’t become parakeets. And an amoeba will never be an ambulance driver. Not in a million, trillion years. Because changes like that don’t happen. Not by accident. Not on purpose. And certainly not accidentally on purpose. Accidentally on purpose used to be a joke, when I was a kid. But we didn’t imagine how serious that whole “accidental” thing … The rest of the story…

What if you reached your prime, let’s say around 33, and someone told you that you look old? It wouldn’t exactly make you feel great. Even if you’re totally confident in who you are, and in your appearance, you don’t wanna look old before your time. And I bet mother Earth doesn’t like all this talk about her ancient age … The rest of the story…
I’ve talked about Nikola Tesla. And his life story interests me for maybe a couple of reasons. One is the fact that he spent a couple of research years right here in Colorado Springs, my current home town. And the other is his focus on the unseen realm of our world. He was a brilliant man with somewhere around 111 … The rest of the story…
Adrenal glands. Oh yeah, now we’re talking about some pretty exciting stuff. And I bet when you got up this morning the first thought you had, after your coffee kicked in, was “Where can I find me some stimulatin’ adrenal conversation?” Never fear, I’ve got your adrenal glands gossip right here. First, let’s talk about the easy-to-understand stuff. Like the … The rest of the story…
“Blinded by the light. Revved up like a deuce, you know a runner in the night.” I remember listening to Manfred Mann’s Earth Band sing that song way back in the 1970’s. And I didn’t learn, till later, it was written by Bruce Springsteen (I’m not one of his fans). But it’s one of those songs that partly sticks in … The rest of the story…
If you’ve been around more than a couple of decades, you’ve probably seen it. The classic scene in a Western movie where One-eyed Jack, outside a saloon, yells to someone inside. “Hey Bart! I’m callin’ you out! You yellow-bellied-two-faced-lily-livered-hook-nosed-varmint. And if you ain’t out here in 15 seconds, I’m comin’ in!” Then, of course Bart gets up from the poker … The rest of the story…
I’m sure you’ve noticed, if you’ve lived more than a couple of decades, how we continue to suffer through a climate crisis. Every year it’s the same thing. You can’t depend on seasons because they consistently (oops, should I say “consistently”) change. And every 90 days or so (oops, should I say “every”) the weather takes another turn. What are … The rest of the story…
The age of the Earth increases all the time. And you’re probably thinking, “Duh. Doesn’t the age of everything, Tony?” But I’m not talking about how Earth is another year older every year. No, I’m talking about how some so-called “scientists” have increased Earth’s age by millions of years in just the past 150 years. And that does not compute. … The rest of the story…
Dr. Rockrazer, an archaeologist from the twentieth century was excited. And, for him, that was completely out of character. Because most of his contemporaries and fellow workers in the dirt found him to be quite dry, if you’ll pardon the accidental pun. But here he was with a face full of obvious exuberance as he held a tiny thimble above … The rest of the story…
Homo sapiens. The pinnacle of design. And incredibly, almost incomprehensibly complex. But even the fittest, most sophisticated models break down. And that’s in spite of all the mechanisms installed to help them function at optimum levels. If you’re a homo sapiens, here’s one example you might find interesting. (And by the way…if you’re reading this, you fall into this category. … The rest of the story…
Yeah, it only takes 23 chromosomes to create the person you know as “myself.” Well, to be more accurate, it takes 23 from your mother and 23 from your father. But who’s counting. I mean besides DNA specialists, biologists, and other people who dive into such microscopic things. But you know who’s not counting? God. Why would God count to … The rest of the story…
DNA extraction. Sounds like something straight outta Jurassic Park, right? But it’s not science fiction anymore. And it’s another one of the millions of examples of how we’re not just carbon based lifeforms. DNA extraction has been done in impossible places. But before I share a few of those, I’d like to share some steps to the extraction process. Because … The rest of the story…
You don’t need radiometric dating to discover the first rock-n-roll song to top the Billboard charts was written by a guy from the 1800’s. But you DO need to know how that’s even possible. And I’m here to share a little bit about it. Plus, I’ll show you how timing is everything. But what’s radiometric dating got to do with … The rest of the story…
I’ve seen it described as “a geometric drawing device that produces mathematical roulette curves of the variety technically known as hypotrochoids and epitrochoids.” And since that sounds too simple for most people, maybe you’d prefer the description in their commercials from back in the 60’s. “Make a million multicolor designs so beautiful your eyes won’t believe what your hands have … The rest of the story…
Since I’m more known for composing (music), it might seem a little weird for me to talk about decomposing. But here I am talking about it. And I’m guessing that you might already be aware of how your DNA starts decomposing the moment you die. Am I right? Well, it does. And apparently before 1990 almost no one believed DNA … The rest of the story…
Let me tell you about Old Fourlegs, the fish. I know that sounds weird from the git-go. But I think you’ll get a kick out of it. Because it’s one of the rarest of fish tales. It’s true. Just about all other fish tales pale in comparison. OK, once upon a time (hey, I said it’s a tale) there … The rest of the story…
I’ve been accused of being corny more than once in my life. And just because the accusations have been tossed out there doesn’t mean I’m guilty. I AM guilty. But not just because of the accusations. And it looks like I’m about to pile on some fodder because I’m interested in the Corn Moon this year. The Corn Moon got … The rest of the story…
Young galaxies are everywhere Well, they’re not here on earth. That’s just silly. But young galaxies are all over the place in space. In fact, none of them are more than several thousand years old. And in space time that’s young. Are you still with me? Thinking about young galaxies makes me remember way back in 1964. I’ve mentioned, before, … The rest of the story…
A star is born – no, not that one I believe I’ve seen three out of four versions of the movie, A Star Is Born. I know I’ve seen first one from 1937 starring Janet Gaynor and Fredric March. And I’m pretty sure I saw the second one with Judy Garland and James Mason. And I know I saw the … The rest of the story…
Ain’t it nice when stars collide? Yeah, usually that expression, when stars collide, brings on visions of falling in love. But what about when actual stars crash into each other? It’s all bliss and fun till somebody gets hurt. Right? Fortunately it’s a rare event when stars collide. So rare that scientists had never seen it happen until recently. … The rest of the story…
