The deeper you go the creepier it seems
Not each of the haziest most abnormal corners of the universe are in some far off Cosmic system a great many light years away as a matter of fact the most secretive of these dull puts is here on Earth a spot with no daylight smashing strain and close to frigid temperatures isn't the ruined No man's land that one could anticipate that it should be it is rather populated with an immense assortment of life that comes to fruition in manners that our earthly Personalities can scarcely grasp a few animals of the profound have colossal piercing eyes others have no eyes by any means others actually have eyes inside their straightforward domed heads others shine for safeguard or sparkle for predation and at these profundities where photosynthesis can't happen the order of things turns into a little capricious a few animals regularly delegated channel feeders have even developed to become impossible startling carnivores others become such powerful hunters that their mouths are greater than the remainder of their whole body or have teeth that pierce the obscurity toward each path from the Ethereal to the creepy the dim ocean holds a universe of transformations that jolts the creative mind and the further you go the creepier it appears to get what is it precisely about the most unimaginable ocean that makes probably the most stunning animals at any point found and is there an explanation we can't resist the urge to view them as frigidly unpleasant the highest layer of the remote ocean is the mesopelagic Also known as A Twilight Zone and it stretches out from 200 meters to 1,000 meters a smidgen of light actually enters at these profundities however not much the absolute first tone to vanish is red since it has the longest frequency and minimal energy of the noticeable range and a ton of animals that invest time in a Twilight Zone utilize this for their potential benefit developing to be shades of red that render them basically undetectable at these profundities enter the vampire squid getting a brief look at it in the lights of a sub you could comprehend the reason why it got such a horrible name on top of its red skin it has tremendous eyes that appear to gleam and spine-like bulges from its limbs all give it an undeniably more fearsome look than the cephalopods of shallower waters yet similarly as its red tone appears to be Ghostly to us yet has an essential developmental reason so too do its other Evil looking elements in spite of its creepy name vampire squid are not really homicidal Trackers dissimilar to practically any remaining cephalopods this animal is a detrivore it gets practically its calories from Marine snow Marine snow is all particulate matter that streams down from higher up in the sea and is made of rotting Shellfish zooplankton larvasion houses diatoms and feces the vampire squid has four arm matches with finger-like ringlets called Siri in addition to two long retractable fibers it sits essentially unmoving around profundities of 600 to 900 meters gradually gathering Marine snow on its mucous-loaded fibers and slurping it down researchers were shocked to find that Marine snow has a high healthy benefit yet the vampire squid actually doesn't have a ton of energy to exhaust they get by on account of having a stifled digestion a whole lot lower than some other cephalopod of an equivalent size yet as you plummet further the cephalopods become significantly seriously unnerving the sort magnapina or the enormous balance squid are believed to be the most profound happening squid variety with sightings as profound as 6,212 meters this spreads the word about the huge blade squid the main squid to possess the hadle Zone the most profound locale of the sea their arms and limbs can really depend on eight meters in length and are typically held at vexing right points the squid providing itself with the presence of having elbows and its clear sparkling mantle spreads the word about the animals appear to be totally powerful little is about the taking care of conduct of these squids researchers have hypothesized that they could utilize their long arms by hauling them along the ocean bottom and snatching anything that palatable organic entities that they can on the other hand the arms could latently get food, for example, zooplankton or pieces of marine snow however in a climate with next to no vegetation to frame the foundation of the well established pecking order being a detrivore is a long way from the main technique truth be told various creatures that are herbivores or channel feeders in shallower parts of the sea become carnivores in the remote ocean that is the situation with the ruthless tunicate it has a place with the acidian family who are otherwise called ocean spurts a class of bright fixed channel feeders that by and large live in shallow water but the predatory tunicate lives much deeper anywhere from 600 to 1100 meters and perhaps even deeper these tunicates are perhaps less terrifying than the big fin squid but just as strange they look almost like an eyeless sock puppet with its mouth open but this odd design has an important purpose to help them catch prey as small invertebrates and Crustaceans swim by they sometimes drift into the predatory tunicate's open mouth that mouth quickly snaps shut and the prey is trapped facing a slow death by digestion this is also the case with a whole family of organisms known as carnivorous sponges they generally start appearing at 200 meters become fairly common at four to five hundred meters and remain dominant all the way down to the hadle Zone below 6 000 meters shallow water sponge species are filter feeders like sea squirts living on bacteria and phytoplankton they're even harvested as shower loofahs their porous bodies being a good mechanism to hold and form soap bubbles but you most definitely do not want to wash yourself with a carnivorous sponge and that's because they're covered in tiny Spears and hooks used to passively trap small swimming creatures the sponges don't have to do much work whether it's the harp sponge with its long rows of spines or the ping pong tree sponge with its bulbous spheres these stationary organisms are highly effective Predators they just wait for the ocean currents to sweep creatures into their spines and then they feast despite this abundance of passive carnivores there are plenty of hunters in the deep sea as well one such startling specimen is the gulper eel found at depths over 1800 meters in the midnight zone its mouth is larger than the rest of its entire body and is Loosely hinged so that it can swallow animals much larger than itself its proportions may be off-putting but in an environment with limited food being able to gorge on a massive meal when you have the chance is crucial its massive mouth can also be used to make itself look intimidating by ballooning up to a hilarious degree but most infamous among the deep sea Hunters might be the anglerfish most of which live below 300 meters but some can be found down to the abyssopelagic Zone all the way at 6 000 meters there are hundreds of species that fall under the catch-all term of anglerfish which comes from the way they generally hunt with a lure attached to their heads to attract prey this is comprised of an Elysium the modified dorsal spine that acts as a fishing rod and an eska the bulbous bioluminescent fishing lure which gets its glow from symbiotic bacteria and by using these lures anglerfish attract a variety of prey species to their gaping mouths and they've been known to consume absurd quantities of food all at once researchers once captured a black sea devil that weighed 8.8 grams but its stomach held 12.3 grams worth of eels in other words its stomach alone managed to hold one and a half times its body weight in food to be able to consume whatever they come across anglerfish have highly flexible jaws and generally have teeth that point inward meaning that whenever they trap their prey there's little chance of the creature escaping and just like the gulper eel their strategy of gorging themselves whenever they can get a meal is a huge advantage in an environment where food is scarce while some creatures use bioluminescence for predation others use it to disguise themselves a strategy called counter illumination the lights on their bellies helps obscure their outline against the very faint patches of light coming from above but there are some predators who have found ways to see their prey camouflaging in this way and perhaps the most incredible of these is macro Penna microstoma or the Pacific barilai fish arguably the craziest looking fish in the entire ocean these fish have enormous tubular eyes that are directed upward allowing them to see prey swimming overhead and these eyes are encased inside their head closed in by a transparent Shield their vision is so good that they can not only pick out the Silhouettes of their prey even if it's using bioluminescence but also gauge the depth they're swimming at and therefore their distance from them but initially scientists were confused about how it could effectively hunt when its tiny mouth points in a different direction than its eyes they wouldn't be able to keep their eyes on the prey while moving their mouth to eat it but the scientists were shocked to discover that the eyes can roll forward and see through the front of their heads as well as the top for a maximum Arc of 75 degrees for comparison humans can only move our eyes about 45 degrees at most for us to do what Barrel I fish do we would essentially be able to look directly up at our brains this strange adaptation allows Barrel life fish to keep their prey in view at all times even as it snaps its body vertically to snatch the food swimming above it but barrel-eye fish live in the Twilight Zone where there's still a tiny bit of light available for them to make use of what about fish that are even deeper down in the bathy pelagic or even abyssopelagic all the way down to 6000 meters with no sunlight penetrating these depths and with little need to detect bioluminescence some deep sea creatures forego Vision altogether like the tripod fish instead of it relying on sight they balance on the sea floor like little tripods waiting for other creatures to swim by their elongated pelvic fins stretch down to the ground holding the motionless and upright while they use their pectoral fins like hands Reaching Forward these fins are filled with enlarged spinal nerves which helps them sense the water currents and whatever objects might float their way from small Crustaceans to fish in this way they're essentially able to sit tight and wait for food to come to them even though they can't see it and while these fish are certainly deep they are by no means the deepest ones recently scientists exploring a marine trench near Japan were stunned to find a fish living 8336 meters below the surface the deepest fish anyone has ever found and is likely to ever find what they found is a type of hadal snailfish a translucent scaleless tadpole-shaped creature little is known about this ghostly ethereal fish that thrives in a place named after Hades itself is this deepest of fish the creepiest maybe not though it's certainly not winning any beauty contests but from the beginning of the ocean depths just as sunlight disappears down to the crushing depths of the deepest trenches there's no denying that the creatures who live here seem like characters out of the darkest corners of our imagination and yet every freaky adaptation is something crafted by millions of years of evolution to live in such an unusual environment it's not hard to see why deep sea creatures invoke creepy feelings in us the creatures are nothing like the ones we see in our daily lives and without the Advent of Robotics we would never be able to see them in their natural habitat their habitat is so far removed from us that we liken it to the underworld and for whatever reason Humanity subscribes to the archetype that the sky holds possibilities euphoric Cloud nines and Heaven itself whereas The Depths hold fears secrets and eternal death perhaps this is no surprise as intelligent air-breathing mammals that what is bright and known is safe to us and the unfathomable sea mysterious dark and otherworldly is not but our ancestral Consciousness perhaps never grasped that the world is all connected that the Bountiful Rivers ensures that we rely on are directly linked to the deepest parts of the sea that what's seems alien is in fact a vital part of our world and deserves our consideration care and protection like any other part of our planet the evolution of ocean creatures is undeniably fascinating for all the freaky and foreign adaptations that excite our imaginations but some of the most astonishing adaptations on Earth happen right here on land and in our own species human eyesight is one of the most complex biological processes we know of but what's even more amazing is what individuals who have lost their sight are still able to see human sonar allows people without sight to see with sound and other individuals who lost their sight due to damage to their visual cortex can still complete obstacle courses with no knowledge that they even did so these phenomena are the subject of the next real science

Under water lake
It's presumably strange to imagine that there are streams lakes and even water falls inside our seas however they truly do exist since water thickness can change because of water temperature and cruising levels and scientists have as of late found another of these sea lakes this time at the lower part of the Bay of Mexico yet this lake it's a piece different in light of the fact that specialists notice that the majority of the ocean animals that meander into the lake didn't return out this lake lies anywhere close to 3,300 feet underneath the surface is around 100 feet in periphery around twelve feet down and it appears as though a submerged burial ground covered with collections of ocean animals that had pondered inside because of its warm water temperature as per a report in the Diary of Oceanography the water in the lake inside the ocean additionally named the Jacuzzi of depression is multiple times as pungent as the water encompassing it the water likewise has a high harmful centralization of methane and hydrogen sulfide which is the reason it doesn't blend in with the encompassing waters it's named a jacuzzi on the grounds that water temperature inside the lake is 65 degrees Fahrenheit which resembles a sweltering tub contrasted with water encompass it this dangerous Lake was possible shaped as ocean water saturated the breaks in the seabed and blended in with the locale's subsurface salt developments methane gas then, at that point, rose taking the destructive water with it next up we should discuss dim matter dull matter is something we've never seen yet we think Dim Matter makes up around at 27% of the universe in spite of the fact that we've never seen it scientists believe is there as a result of the gravitational impacts it has a matter that we can see yet as per another paper by Teacher Eric Valenti from the College of Amsterdam dim matter doesn't exist and clearly neither does gravity as per Teacher van Lindy gravity is certainly not a principal power of nature all things considered yet rather a rising peculiarities he says our momentum thoughts regarding space time and gravity earnestly should be reexamined we have long realized that Einstein's hypothesis of gravity can't work with quantum mechanics as enormous scopes it appears gravity simply doesn't act the manner in which Einstein's hypothesis predicts next a secretive and is coming from the sea floor and it no one understands what it is in northern Canada a pinging sound can be heard in the district all through the mid year the source of the sound is still a mystery with explanations ranging from mining to submarines to environmental activists using the sound to scare away wildlife in the area so anyways wouldn't be able to hunt them the Canadian military is also aware of the noise and says it's looking into it internal correspondence between the sources in the Department of National Defense obtained by CBC News suggests submarines were not immediately ruled out but we're also not considered a likely cause so I don't know if not subs that may be Santa's workshop getting ready for Christmas and finally are you sick of exams and all that memorization and stress don't you wish people could just realize your genius without having to force you to solve math problems well some scientists seem to agree with this because researchers from King's College London have used a new genetic scoring technique to predict academic achievement from DNA alone the research is based on a recent genome-wide Association study that examined almost 10 million single nucleotide polymorphisms which are the most common type of genetic variations among people and they have identified 74 genetic variants that were significantly associated with years of completed education their findings show that what makes students achieve differently in their educational achievement is strongly affected by DNA differences on average those with a higher polygenic score would obtain a grade between a and B whereas those with a lower score obtained an entire grade below of course this does not take into account of effort and we all know that just because you're talented doesn't make you successful so to summarize in this video we covered a super dangerous lake in the ocean that would melt you gravity may just be an illusion something is scaring away all the fish in northern Canada and the DNA testing may replace SATs in the future.

Alien were our gods
There are a plenty of potential outcomes with regards to the existential and the ethereal, and as humanity continually grips to find its unassuming starting points, the looking for of a higher power or divinity generally strikes a chord and ceaselessly stays in play. Individuals stick to their convictions and as it should be, yet that makes it hard for various considerations regarding the matter to flourish or to genuinely take on some structure that could gather any authorization. God is a secret and apparently and could be contended that as a human animal groups, we nearly favor him, her, it as a secret if exclusively for it to help our own philosophies and build up our own reasons for living. In any case, the secret of God is as much about our set of experiences and beginning as it is attempting to find the solutions to who and what God is, and in finding those responses, we could have to focus on the sky and the stars and space… Assuming you were to truly take a gander at it - this world and presence that we call life, you would need to reach the resolution that something is wrong; nature appears to live off itself, flourish with the compromise, the circumstances and logical results. you can perceive how any remaining living species some way or another adds to the general climate and environment The frail of the species either adjust and get by or bite the dust and recharge the earth in an alternate structure or technique. With regards to territory, different species utilize their environmental factors and climate for their nearby necessities… Excluded from this are individuals. People appear to be the main species on this planet that doesn't offer in return, doesn't completely contribute, yet rather drains. The case could in all likelihood be made that a planet that is worked for correspondence would normally birth or produce living organic entities that capability in particularly a similar limit, particularly those that should be the most conscious. Be that as it may, people don't. assuming humankind is the main species that causes consumption and that any remaining species use or add to the biological system then quite possibly, the previous isn't initially a piece of the last option, yet rather an established creature, put inside the limits of a climate that is more fit to its requirements than not. Perhaps humankind's starting point lies with something different - Divine beings, perhaps - however almost certain researchers, extraterrestrial researchers to be more accurate, astute life that quite utilized this planet, Earth,There are a plenty of potential outcomes with regards to the existential and the ethereal, and as humanity continually grips to find its unassuming starting points, the looking for of a higher power or divinity generally strikes a chord and ceaselessly stays in play.

To engage the possibility that the human species doesn't begin on earth is certainly not a novel insight. Rather, it is soaks from the authentic narratives of scriptural stories, some Christian and Judaic (and that's only the tip of the iceberg). Visiting outsiders conveying people, saving us in some structure on this planet, isn't that unfamiliar of a thought, nor is it trendy. In the Hebrew Scriptures of the Christian Book of scriptures, which is likewise essential for the Judaic Torah, Ezekiel is visited by a sort of 'chariot' and its depiction by numerous researchers have driven a few the most brilliant and best personalities to basically acknowledge the likelihood that what the essayist of the old book experienced was an outsider appearance. The development of Stonehenge, the pyramids, the stories of Atlantis and every one of the wonders that exist on the planet should essentially originate from something of substance, and in light of prior compositions of the people of old, it was normal for the alleged 'sky-divine beings' to visit and accordingly the narratives of old that came to shape the strict fables that was subsequently custom-made around principle and creed. What we are left with as individuals is the very thoughts and thoughts that we have consistently had - that there's something increasingly big working that we get from. We're seeing an ever increasing number of that people are not just seeking the skies for the responses, however have likewise started to bring those equivalent stars, skies, space down to the earth in a practically apparent and substantial, unmistakable, trade of understanding to give some kind of significance to this thing call life.

Creepiest places on earth
picture a phantom town deserted structures shrouded in spray painting rusting survives from vehicles breaks in the streets and presently add to that a thick cover of dark smoke coming from under the ground and the actual ground is hot to the touch you're entering Centralia Pennsylvania Centralia used to be an enthusiastic spot during the 1800s and up to the 1960s its Rich coal mineshafts pulled in a many individuals to work and reside there yet in 1962 one of those mines unintentionally burst into flames what began to spread Underground coal is a gradually copying fuel so the residents keep on residing calmly for practically an additional twenty years until the fire started to subvert the town one of the most terrible mishaps was the point at which a monster sinkhole showed up all of a sudden in the patio of a house in Centralia fortunately nobody was harmed except for after that individuals began leaving the spot in the accompanying 30 years nearly everybody moved out however not all starting around 2020 five individuals actually live there yet other than that Centralia is by all means an apparition town and disintegrating deserted structures and broke streets are only a minor piece of it the most over the top disturbing thing about this spot is the smoke flooding from under the ground through stalls fires down below are at this point fuming heating up the surface and continuously obliterating the remaining parts of the town as a matter of fact this enlivened the popular fictitious town of Quiet Slope The Burst is assessed to keep going for an additional 250 years and at that point there will be only seared No man's land nearby in the event that you're apprehensive about bugs, this spot will likely be your most dreaded fear the go Manton collapses Malaysia could be quite possibly of the most pleasant spot on the planet notwithstanding their occupants leading there are bats north of 2 million of these creatures live in the tremendous breadths of the caverns they're effectively terrified however I suppose you don't need that great many winged Revulsions flying at you in a frenzy aren't to be messed with furthermore there are cockroaches and keeping in mind that the quantity of bats is pretty much resolved the insects amassing the floors and walls of the caverns are untouchable there are such large numbers of them that you will not have the option to make a solitary step without twelve of these creepers slithering up your legs lastly in the event that you oversee not to shout from the Cockroaches and wake up swarms of bats you may be compensated with other brilliant tenants of the caverns those incorporate snakes scorpions and monster venomous centipedes Enchanting still the caverns are available to the general population and there are heaps of individuals who visit this spot squarely in the center of no place in the unfilled badlands of the karakum desert in Focal Asia there's an extraordinary opening in the ground that consumes everlastingly it's called that darvaza gas pit and a genuine pit Expansive and profound has been Burning for over 50 years now local people call it the entryway to the hidden world and the view is to be sure terrifying it is absolutely impossible to smother the flares and researchers accept the hole will continue to consume for a really long time the pit evidently showed up in 1971 when a gathering of Designers explored the region and thought they coincidentally found an oil store it ended up being a petroleum gas pocket however and while the boring apparatus began chipping away at the site the ground fell the experts were restless about the likelihood that that the destructive gas could genuinely jeopardize nearby towns so they accepted it best to set it on fire and let it wear out in a portion of a month yet as we can see the impact is at this point squeezing ahead the pit has since turned into a famous vacation destination however in spite of that it actually represents some risk so endeavors are being made to at last douse the doors of the hidden world envision seeing a madly venomous snake right close to your foot startling enough huh and presently duplicate that experience two or three thousand times when regardless of where you attempt to run there are comparative snakes by and large around that is Snake Island for yourself and the name couldn't depict it better the island is found not a long way from the bank of Brazil and is home to huge number of brilliant Spear head Snakes around quite a while back the ocean levels Rose and isolated the island from the central area and heaps of Spear head snakes became caught on it their Central area kin are venomous too yet not as much the brilliant assortment needed to advance to make due and gracious they did since there's not so many land creatures for the Snakes to chase they adjusted to hunting birds all things considered and for their toxin to be successful it must be moment so brilliant Spear heads fostered a Toxin that is multiple times more strong than the normal assortment this assisted the snakes With flourishing and presently there are one to five snakes for every square meter of the island it is thought about so perilous that Brazil restricted all guests like somebody would truly need to go there lost in the forest around evening time you unexpectedly find a human figure eased you contact their shoulder to request headings yet it's hard as Stone and shrouded in Greenery and afterward you investigate the essence of the individual and your mouth opens with dismay it's everything except human my recommendation would be not to meander around Southeast Finland around evening time in the event that you don't need a stunning encounter since it's here that a prestigious Finnish stone worker made his Scary Model Nursery in his own patio the nursery's principal display comprises of 200 human figures in different yoga acts yet like you stroll around you might go over additional Evil looking works, for example, shrouded figures with its arms extended forward and profound dark holes for eyes adding to the unpleasantness are genuine human teeth and the methods of certain sculptures the garden itself appeared because the sculptor was a recluse and didn't want to leave his home and when asked to lend some of his sculptures to museums he would say he needed to ask them if they wanted to it seems they never did though creepy statues are Eerie enough but how about creepy dolls if you ever find yourself in Japan and want to give yourself some chills down the spine make sure to visit nagoro it's a tiny village in the south of the country driving by its houses and yards you will see villagers sitting on their porches or attending to their Gardens nothing special Until you realize they're not moving and never will because they're life-sized dolls one of the local residents turned her hometown in 2002 and made a hobby of creating stuffed scarecrows in gardens and Fields but then it turned from a practical thing into a sort of Memorial job whenever any of her neighbors left the village or passed away she would make a life-size doll in their image she made them as she remembered them best so all her dolls are doing something normal people would they're sitting standing lying on the ground and there are even full classrooms of dolls in the local school but probably the eeriest thing about this installation is that the human population of nagoro is less than 30 people and the scarecrows outnumber the living dwellers more than ten to one there are over 350 dolls in the village now as their maker remembers there were around 300 people living in nagoro when she was a child and now for 20 years she has been commemorating all of them about 3 000 visitors come to nagoro every year and many of them return in the following years as well the village is pretty hard to reach because it's located on one of the Less Traveled islands of Japan and the nearest train station is an hour away but that doesn't stop the tourists who want to see the wonderfully creepy scarecrows with their own eyes that's it for today so hey if you pacified your curiosity then give the video a like and share it with your friends or if you want more just click on these videos and stay on the bright side the coldest part of our Planet Antarctica keeps surprising us take a look at this waterfall named Blood Falls reddish water falls from the white ice scientists concluded that the collar is related to iron the water coming from the glacier oxidizes and rusts when it's exposed to oxygen and the red color occurs step on Mount ganding it Blaze eggs well maybe not real eggs but the stones certainly look like dinosaur eggs that's why the mountain got its Fame the let's call them Stone eggs formed in one part of the mountain over 500 million years ago interestingly this phenomenon repeats once every 30 years eggs come out in various sizes and shades the stones appear on the surface of the cliff a study made in the area has revealed that the composition of the stones of the cliff isn't similar to other parts of the mountain here calcareous rocks rule they're more prone to erosion they ripen off day by day it took three decades for the stones to get to the egg shape yet it's still a mystery how these rock formations can be so perfectly spherical and smooth according to scientists every stone egg has an organic core they're made of shells plant remains fish teeth and skeletons maybe this has something to do with it Gulu Village is close to the stone eggs locals believe that these eggs are sacred the villagers associated with good fortune in fact nearly every family has one of these eggs in their house unfortunately there are only about 70 eggs left so if you want to see them you gotta hurry up the rich hat structure is a circular geological phenomenon in the Sahara Desert near Mauritania it's made out of rocks and layers and these layers look very much like Rings no wonder the unique structure even got NASA's attention up from the sky the geological feature seems to be swirling and spinning scientists are still not sure how these Rings got there some say it was an asteroid impact many others believe that it was a natural geological process to them the rich hat structure is an uplifted and eroded Dome geologists often classify it as a domed anticline the scientists discovered that the rocks at the center are older than the ring-shaped outer rocks so it seems like the stones have been eroded to Flat Rock players anyway there's no valid explanation for this phenomenon and the 28 mile long mystery of the Sahara is still to be solved number four is rapanui or Isla de Pasqua but I bet you know it as Easter Island yeah it's got three names it was discovered by Jacob rogavin who actually never intended to look for that Island he just casually landed there one Sunday that's where the name comes from Jay makeup was supposed to find Terra Australis disclaimer it's not Australia this one never existed and was nothing but a hypothetical continent plus he wanted a peek at Davis land which was believed to have once been seen by Edward Davis the pirate not Edward Davis the saxophone player Jacob failed at that too though nobody ever saw that Island except for the pirate Davis Jacob may have failed to discover some lands he wanted to but he discovered Easter Island Instead This is an island and special territory of Chile located in the Southeastern Pacific Ocean it's on my list because nearly one thousand stone statues called moai were found there they were created by the rapanui people nearly all statues represent gigantic heads but there are also a small number of figures kneeling with their hands over their stomachs each statue represented Chiefs or other important members of Easter Island Society to curb those statues the locals used volcanic stones that were softened our next stop is the gateway to the underworld yeah don't worry this is just how people label darvaza gas crater in turkmenistat this giant natural gas crater has been there for five decades this crater is continuously burning gases the president of the country wants experts to find a way to extinguish this continuous firing pit this site was created by people accidentally in 1971 while working on a natural gas project ever since then the Flames have been on and it's become a tourist attraction mysterious constructions are sometimes built in our era too we don't have to go millions of years ago to long gone civilizations Edward lead skull and single-handedly built a structure called Coral Castle in Homestead Florida he didn't use any large Machinery he carved and sculpted more than 1100 tons of Coral Rock in 28 years until 1951. it's a mystery how we managed to do it all by himself leedscale and sculpted the sedimentary rock into different objects such as walls tables chairs a fountain and a sundial there's of course a legend behind this mystery too he was inspired to build the structure after being abandoned by his fiancee on their wedding day uh-oh Runaway Bride well he wanted to prove his love to her and the world so he wanted to do something extraordinary well he definitely nailed it now let's talk a little bit about the mystery of the namibian fairy circles there are millions of circular patches in hundreds of miles ranging from 10 to 65 feet in diameter they're called fairy circles because they look like a fairy or in otherworldly creature made them these are essentially oval-shaped soil surrounded by grass there are a lot of local beliefs surrounding the creator of these marks yet science says something else biologists and mathematicians have been puzzled by the The Mystery of the namibian fairy circles for decades there is more than one Theory to explain this phenomenon here's one popular Theory the water is limited in the desert so plants compete to reach the water some plants expand and Thrive into a patch but smaller plants nearby cannot get the necessary water to live in the end some vegetation disappears and the remaining ones stay at the Patch's edges that's why they form such regular distant gaps what if I tell you that there is a hill in Lay City India where instead of rolling downwards things roll uphill it's an optical illusion the road looks like it's a sloping Hill because of its surrounding Landscapes yet the road actually goes down these kinds of hills are called magnetic Hills or gravity hills scientific explanations vary the most common theory says that the hill has such a strong magnetic force that it can pull cars in the entity now how about seeing some flaming rocks inartosh spread over an area of over three square miles the place is located on a Rocky Mountain in Southwest turkey near the town of chiaralea yanartash got its name from its appearance it literally means flaming Stone the rocks have been flaming for at least 2 500 years and they'll probably keep burning for the coming decades the mountain where the rocks are is an inactive volcano so it's full of tiny fumaroles that release Gases such as methane the gas ignites

Way more intelligent than you think!!
Have you ever wondered how smart you really are? Intelligence is a very complicated thing to quantify. Intelligence is your ability to learn from your experiences and use those experiences to shape or understand your environment. There are, however, a wide variety of intelligence types out there, like spatial, linguistic, or emotional intelligence. Because intelligence is diverse and complex, judging how smart you are isn’t always an easy task. Intelligence tests are one common way for people to measure how they stack up against the rest of the population. But most intelligence tests don’t account for all the different kinds of intelligence out there. Intelligence Quotient, or IQ, tests, for example, rarely pose questions related to creative or artistic intelligence. If you’re a highly creative person, you may score below average on an IQ test, but that doesn’t mean you’re not smarter than most. If you’ve never taken an IQ test or don’t excel on tests in general, there are other strategies you can use to judge your intellectual talents. Your brainpower naturally influences your habits, decisions, and preferences, so you can sometimes measure intelligence by analyzing the things you say and do every day. Over the years, experts have discovered several ways intelligent people talk, think, and live a little differently from everyone else. Geniuses, for example, tend to maintain more radical schedules, enjoy certain hobbies and passions, and engage in rich creative activities that explore and expand their minds. If you are a highly intelligent person, you may live your life in a similar way. Even if you don’t think there’s anything special about you, you may discover telltale signs of intelligence in your everyday behavior. Things that seem entirely normal may actually be tried and true signs of an active and intelligent mind. That’s why, in this video, we’re going to look closely at twelve signs that you are smarter than you realize. Before we get started, let’s make one thing clear. This isn’t an intelligence test. You won’t walk away from this video with a score that you can compare to other people you know. But if these twelve habits, talents, and tendencies sound familiar, the simple truth may be that you are way more intelligent than you think. 1. The Generation of Genius There’s a common misconception that intelligent people are constantly brimming with good ideas. We can thank many geniuses throughout history for their profound discoveries, but their one or two great ideas were preceded by many, many bad ones. In other words, highly intelligent people don’t always have brilliant ideas. Instead, they work hard and generate a large number of ideas, some of which end up changing the world. This skill, called “idea generation,” sets many smart people apart from the crowd. Creating new ideas at the drop of a hat is difficult, but the most intelligent people make it look easy. Every one of your ideas may not be brilliant or profound, but if you generate lots of them, you’re likely a creative and inspired individual. 2. A Dark Sense of Humor Intelligent people have a sense of humor that can be difficult to pin down. You may find yourself laughing at things that no one else thinks are funny or cracking up over a reference other people don’t get. Your jokes may not always be sophisticated, but if you have a unique sense of humor, you’re probably brighter than average too. Why? Because intellectual people make connections and recognize layers of irony that others don’t notice. Your sense of humor may be subtle and nuanced, or you may laugh at darker subjects that others don’t enjoy. In either case, you have a hard time finding an audience for your jokes because your brain works a little differently than most. 3. Uncanny Memory Recall The most intelligent people have an uncanny ability to remember things that others don’t. They process and recall ideas with incredible depth, often latching onto tiny details and nuanced ideas. But where does their superpowered memory come from? Memory isn’t all raw intelligence. Instead, it comes from a blend of experience and ability. Smarter people recall ideas more precisely than most because they spend a lot of time exercising their memories. Almost every day, they challenge themselves to remember niche knowledge or retain large stores of information. As a result, their memory becomes stronger and sharper every day. Among your friends, you might be known for your elephant-like memory. Maybe you surprise people with how much you can recall about things that happened years ago. In either case, you have a strong memory, probably because you’re smarter than you know. 4. The Power of Daydreaming Do you like daydreaming? Highly intelligent people tend to be avid daydreamers. You have an active and powerful imagination, so when something doesn’t is boring, you may retreat into a world inside your head. Studies have shown that daydreaming is correlated with higher levels of mental activity and cognitive performance. So, if you like drifting off in the middle of the day, don’t sell yourself short. You’re likely more intelligent than you realize. 5. Emotional Attunement Many people think cognition and emotion are separate skills, but these two categories of intelligence are intricately intertwined. In other words, people who excel at cognitive exercises like problem-solving also demonstrate a fuller understanding of their feelings. Why? Because smarter people spend more time reflecting on their emotions and dissecting what they’re feeling in certain situations. If you’re a highly intelligent person, you’re likely familiar with the depth of your feelings and able to express them constructively. That alone is a telltale sign that you’re smarter and more thoughtful than most. 6. Craving Total Solitude Most highly intelligent people value their solitude. In other words, they enjoy spending time alone. Smart people appreciate moments of peace and solitude as many of their favorite activities, like reading and writing, are best performed alone. To highly intelligent people, solitude isn’t punishing or tedious; it’s an opportunity to dive deep into the subjects that fascinate them without anyone else getting in the way. If this sounds familiar, you’re probably more intelligent, and more introverted, than you think. 7. Raw Musical Talent Sometimes intelligent people easily master things that others struggle to learn. For example, intelligent people learn how to play instruments relatively quickly because they have a natural ability to understand basic rhythms. Highly intelligent people can also keep time better than most, even if they have zero musical experience. In general, highly intelligent people are quick to understand and replicate musical patterns. They not only perform music well but they’re drawn to diverse musical genres and often get lost in pieces that are complex and moving. Whether you’re a musician or a music aficionado, your ear for music may signal how smart you really are. 8. Understanding Ambiguity Most people have a hard time coping with uncertainty, but highly intelligent people aren’t bothered in the same way. Why? Because sometimes, ambiguity is the only possible answer. The more complex something becomes, the less likely you are to find a clean and simple solution. You may notice confusing contradictions and discover gaps in your knowledge, but that’s okay. Your problems don’t have to be solved right away. If you can be patient and calm in the midst of confusion, you may be one of the smartest people you know. 9. Imagination Overdrive Anxiety is prevalent among highly intelligent people. They have strong imaginations that produce all kinds of spiraling thoughts and negative patterns. As a smart person, you may also spend time thinking about ways your life may fall apart. In either case, these worrisome thoughts can manifest as anxiety and self-doubt. If this sounds familiar, your brain may be working on overdrive. It’s not always fun or happy, but your anxiety is just another sign that you’re brighter than most. 10. Sources of Inspiration Studies have shown that highly intelligent people enjoy working in less organized environments. That doesn’t mean intelligent people are dirty or unhygienic. Rather, many smart people work well in cluttered spaces surrounded by sources of inspiration. For example, you might have books across your desk or papers taped to the wall. You may work in a studio surrounded by crafts or a garage with every tool you can imagine spread onto the floor. Wherever you like to work, a cluttered space may be the perfect environment for your mind to work and create. 11. The Benefits of Doing Nothing If you’re a highly intelligent person, you might spend part of your day doing what seems like absolutely nothing. On the outside, anyone who sees you might think you’re staring into space, but you’re probably doing something smart people love to do... setting aside time to think. You might close your eyes and sit, pace around the room, or talk to yourself out loud. All of these are ways intelligent people maintain a dialogue with their own brains, allowing them to generate ideas and solve complicated problems. Thinking is an activity all its own. If you’re a highly intelligent person, thinking may be one of your favorite ways to spend the day. 12. Absolute Concentration Do you have a hard time staying focused? Concentration is a skill many highly intelligent people have in spades. Even if they’re surrounded by people, they can shut off their senses and fully concentrate on something they’re passionate about. When that happens, there’s no breaking their concentration. They work in a fervor until they’ve brought their ideas to life. If you’re a smart person, you may have experienced something like this before. You get a great idea, and you run to your desk to get that idea out of your head. When you’re inspired enough, you can focus just about anywhere because you are way more intelligent than you realize.

Discovered planets
foreign of all the planets in the universe Earth is clearly the best for life right wrong Earth may be great but scientists have discovered a few worlds that could be even better for life behold koi 5715.01 most of the contenders on our super habitable planet list aren't the ones you could visit anytime soon they are very far away the top spot is held by one 3 000 light years away from our solar system koi 575.01 would appear to satisfy the most basic requirement for supporting life it exists in the Goldilocks zone of its star so conditions wouldn't be too hot or too cold for a key life supporting ingredient to exist on its surface liquid water but it would also check off many boxes to be considered super habitable the planetary system it belongs to could be five and a half billion years old which would make it around 1 billion years older than our own solar system and the planet would almost fit the size requirement when looking for super habitable worlds scientists keep their eyes peeled for planets that have a mass up to one and a half times of our planet and they should be about 10 percent larger too this size difference would help the planet retain heat and if its average temperature was about 5 degrees Celsius higher than Earth's well this planet could have even richer biodiversity now being almost double the size of Earth koi 571 5.01 might overshoot this condition a bit besides studies indicate that this planet is actually colder than Earth but there's still hope with the right atmospheric composition a strong greenhouse effect could raise temperatures to the desired level and as far as super habitable worlds go well we're just getting started when it comes to making this planet habitable at this time of year we fall back on what makes us and others feel better shopping you know holiday shopping may give you a rush but it can also sustain the corporate world's Stranglehold on small businesses how do they do that well when you shop online like on Amazon or Walmart well these companies use their sales platforms to promote their products over smaller businesses with competing products unfairly this practice is called self-preferencing because it puts the company's interests ahead of anything or anyone else so how can you help well buy locally you know small business owners account for more than 64 percent of new jobs in the United States so work for the anti-monopoly shift power away from major corporations and help provide more opportunities for your community keeping each other fed and our community is thriving that's how we make a planet habitable approximately 2 700 light years away is Kepler 69c this super Earth could be around 7 billion years old this puts it perfectly in the estimated five to eight billion year old age range for super habitable planets this range is based on the three and a half billion years it took for a complex life to appear on Earth so the best chance for finding life could be on a planet a little older than us only this exoplanet could be a little too big to be super habitable it has a mass almost four times that of Earth a rocky planet this big could have a single colossal continent that would have huge deserts in its Center but the coastline Washed by Kepler's ocean could be your perfect spot to move to our next Super Earth shares a similar name Kepler 1126b except it would be located ever so slightly closer to home yeah this planet is about 2073 light years away and it belongs to a system that is seven and a half billion years old it also orbits a yellow dwarf star much like our own only Kepler 1126b is two and a half times closer to its star than Earth is to the Sun but that's no big deal because the star Kepler 1126b orbits is cooler than ours so the habitable zone would exist in a Range much closer in proximity to it if you aren't feeling this nearness to a scorching hot star there's another Super Earth on our list and it's at a reasonable distance from home speculos 2C is located only 106 light years away not that its proximity gives it any kind of advantage it would still take you well over 200,000 years to travel to this super Earth and that's if you moved at the speed of NASA's Parker solar probe the fastest probe ever launched speculos 2C does look promising though it's about 40 percent larger than Earth there's also the potential for it being a rocky planet just like ours now despite the fact that it also exists in a habitable zone it's red dwarf star is still very small it's only about 15 percent the size of our sun so this planet orbits around its star at a very close distance and this close distance could mean that speculos 2C is tidally locked to its star this super Earth takes eight and a half days to make one full rotation on its axis as well as one orbit around its star that would leave one side of the planet in constant daylight and the other in Endless Night this means that life could be possible in The Terminator Zone the thin strip of land between the two sides we just need to get a better look to find out for sure but with all these candidates so far away wouldn't it be nicer if the planets in our own solar system were a little more habitable well that's a story for another.
