Strange Realm - Ep. 056 - March 24th, 2024

Tonight we bring you a torrent of twisted news as we celebrate the Worm Moon and it's subtle ecplise characteristics, we look at new 3D maps of the magnetic field of the Earth's lithosphere, a report on a study that suggests Dark Matter simply does not exist, then we investigate the news that mad scientists have made a "quantum tornado" that replicates a black hole, and finally we look at an ancient Babylonian tablet about triangles which seems to show the Pythagorean theorem over 1,000 years before Pythagoras. All of this and then after the break, we continue our reading series as Frobisher reads more of "Our Haunted Planet," by John A. Keel.
