How to Make Your Brain Think About the Future
Despite our differences, we have one thing in common: we all experience the present moment as active and alive. However, my friends, this feeling of the present moment is actually a little delayed because it takes our brains about half a second to transmit information to our consciences. Our various senses each gather information at their own rate, so our brains must drag some of them to give us a seamless sense of the present. It's like our brains are trying to piece together a Frankenstein monster rather than realizing that the future is already done for it in due course.

5 Areas in Our Solar System Where Life May Exist
Imagine yourself floating in a salty ocean deep under the frozen surface of a moon, surrounded by geothermal vents that give the energy small bacteria require to survive. The point is that we may not need to leave our own solar system to search for any signs of life outside of Earth because icy moons could rewrite cosmic history by having oceans sandwiched between an ice crust and a hot planetary core. This is true whether we're surviving or exploring a moon covered in rivers of methane and ethane where life may be hiding in the depths of craters.

Now, if you could travel back in time to 1969, you'd see something amazing. Instead of some random desert, you'd be staring at one of the world's most powerful waterfalls that was completely dry during the summer and fall of 1969.

The Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls are the three waterfalls that make up The Magnificent Niagara Falls, which is what we refer to as the international border between Canada and the United States. are entirely on the American side, whereas Goat Island separates the Horseshoe Falls, which are mostly on the Canadian side.
