Strange Realm - Ep. 059 - April 14th, 2024
On tonight's show we bring you a high-spirirted and highly-elliptical look into some of the weirdest and strangest science stories of the week, including China's new communications satellite orbiting the Moon, the UK laser weapon named DragonFire possibly soon to debut on the Ukrainian front lines, a 50 year old kind of battery that just might be the answer to scaling up energy storage, and a new study suggests Bonobos, the supposed hippies of the ape world, are more aggressive than previously thought! All of this and then after the break, we continue our reading series as Frobisher reads more from "Our Haunted Planet," by John A. Keel.
