The Titanic was the biggest ship during its time, and when it sank back in 1912, some people questioned why it did not implode like a submarine would. Today, scientists and experts explain that the answer is simple. It is also the same reason why its wreckage and other boats that plunged to the bottom … Read more
A poll from YouGov reveals that up to 41% of Americans believe that dinosaurs and humans once coexisted. 14% said “definitely”, and 27% said “probably.” These surprising results reflect how cultural beliefs, social influence, and a lack of literacy can shape misunderstandings, even though decades of scientific research have contradicted them. Homo sapiens, or modern … Read more
If the dinosaurs roamed the Earth for more than 165 million years, shouldn’t their bones and fossils be everywhere on the planet? This is a common conspiracy theorist’ argument that aims to question the validity of our history and the existence of dinosaurs.

When we think of the past, we usually trust our brain to be truthful, but what if the events we remember never actually happened?

Did you know that most people still think that oil and fossil fuels came from the remains of dinosaurs from millions of years ago? You might also have been exposed to this myth; however, scientists have already debunked that theory. It is common to have this misconception, especially because the word fossil in fossil fuels … Read more
Reality sometimes does not feel real at all, but have you ever thought that it could all just be an illusion? That the universe might just be a big hologram. Some theoretical physicists are suggesting that everything we see and experience, from space and time to gravity, is all just a projection from a lower-dimensional … Read more
The oceans cover about 71% of the Earth’s surface. This vast body of water is crucial for the continued existence of life on the planet, as it regulates the climate and temperature, and supports life both in the water and outside of it. This is why, when scientists search for signs of life in space, … Read more
Did you know that at the top of the highest peak on Earth, Mount Everest, there are fish and sea creature fossils? People wondered why when they found out about this fact, but if you knew how mountains form on the surface of the Earth, then it is just logical why it would have those … Read more
In a discovery that closely resembles that of a popular movie’s plot, Jurassic Park’s source of dinosaur DNA, researchers have found a 46 million-year-old mosquito whose last blood meal is still intact in its stomach. Found in Montana’s Kishenehn Formation shale, the tiny insect’s fossil holds preserved heme molecules, the backbone of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is … Read more
Fireworks light up the sky like no other. It comes with different dazzling colors, from red and green to blue, violet, and more.
