The Shortest and Longest Lifespans of Animals

 Time. Tick tock. We live only a tiny fraction of time that our planet has been around for. Even humanity itself is very young. But life span is a really relative term: there are creatures on our planet that live much shorter lives than us humans, and those who outlive all of us by far… while some are close to immortality. See for yourself. Mayfly has the shortest lifespan on Earth - 24 hours or less. Greenland shark lives over 270 years . It's the longest-living vertebrate. But there are creatures who live over 2,000 years or even ... forever! Yup, one of them is biologically immortal. It can go back to being polyp and grow up again infinitely ... Time. Tick tock.

But life span is a really relative term: there are creatures on our planet that live much shorter lives than us humans, and those who outlive all of us by far… while some are close to immortality.

The Atlantic and Pacific Oceans Don't Mix

 When you look at the seas and oceans on the map you might think that they just flow into each other. It seems like there’s only one big ocean, and people just gave different names to its parts. Well, you’ll be amazed at how vivid the borders between them are! The border between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans is like a line between 2 worlds. It looks as if the two oceans meet at an invisible wall which does not let them flow into each other and mix their waters. Why on Earth does it happen? We know for sure there is no invisible wall inside, and water is water. So what could interfere with its mixing ?

Unbelievable Places That Actually Exist

This waterfall is in Chestnut Ridge Park in New York . Although Eternal Flame Falls isn’t massive, it has an interesting element, fire. Near the bottom of the waterfall, there is a tiny cavern that natural gas flows out of. When lit, the gas produces a flame that can be seen yearlong. Although, sometimes the fire goes out and has to be ignited again. Eternal Flame Falls wasn’t originally a popular tourist destination, but as it gained more recognition from the media, people started visiting it more often. It has also been studied by several geologists, who discovered that it emits more propane and ethane than other natural gas-secreting places. This stunning landscape is found in Linze County, China. These rocks are like Ogres; they have layers. They’re much more stunning than Shrek’s relatives, however. They appear velvety, but form pointed, jagged peaks. The striped, multicolored stone is due to the different types of minerals that were deposited throughout the landform's sandsto

The Biggest Secret in Human History - Nibiru is Coming

445 000 years ago, “creator gods” - as they call it - came to Earth. They were called the Anunnaki , which means "Those Who from Heaven to Earth Came". These beings inhabited a distant orbiting planet called Nibiru, which only entered our solar system every 3,600 years. They describe Nibiru as many times the diameter of Earth, and abundant with iron oxide, making its rivers and lakes appear red. A side note about Nibiru: according to the Sumerian tablets, Nibiru’s atmosphere began to deteriorate and became a hostile place for life, and in order to restore it, the Annunaki needed one important element for their atmosphere: Have you ever wondered why schools teach so little if anything about the world’s first advanced civilization ? Especially when it introduced so many things we still use today ... Why the mystery around Sumeria which was in Mesopotamia in what’s now modern-day Iraq?
