Asteroids and Algorithms
from SciFriday
NASA recently smashed a spacecraft into an asteroid to test a concept for a future planetary defense system. Is it a coincidence that asteroid Dimorphos is about the same size as Apophis, which will make a near-pass of Earth in 2029?We also discuss the way social media algorithms shape our society. Here’s a disturbing thought: What if social media addiction leads to mental health problems by design? And what if that design is imposed on the algorithms by outside (i.e., spiritual) forces?

Gilbert House Ministries
Since March 2005, Derek and Sharon Gilbert have shared their take on cryptopolitics and things that go bump in the night. Those first podcasts, back when podcasting was a brand new idea, were rough–recorded through a jury-rigged setup of string, wire, duct tape, and a durable little Mac laptop.Always ready to share a laugh and an opinion, the Gilberts emphasize the joy of living for Christ in the midst of doom and gloom news.Their first podcast, PID (Peering Into Darkness) Radio connected Derek and Sharon to Tom Horn, L. A. Marzulli, Gary Stearman and Bob Ulrich (Prophecy Watchers), Steve Quayle, Dr. Michael Heiser, and too many others to mention.Those relationships developed into research, writing, and broadcasting for SkyWatchTV, which spawned the programs SciFriday, Unraveling Revelation, and The Bible’s Greatest Mysteries, as well as cutting-edge books on theology and end-times prophecy like The Great Inception, Last Clash of the Titans, Bad Moon Rising, The Day the Earth Stand
