Radiation from a gamma-ray burst would ionize Earth’s atmosphere and destroy its ozone layer, causing an electromagnetic explosion. The resulting shock wave would generate enough heat to dissociate nitrogen molecules N2 into atomic nitrogen, which would in turn react with the dissociated oxygen leading to the formation of nitrogen monoxide…

First off, literally anything that has ever sunk over the millennia would rise to the surface, since the density of mercury is very high and any object would receive significant hydrostatic buoyancy because of Archimedes’ principle. …

The pouch of these animals serves to accommodate the undeveloped young that comes out of the womb at birth, and that stays there until it is fully developed. Zoologists and paleontologists have debated for years why and how the marsupium evolved. Granted that it is a more primitive and older…

The fact that plants are at the base, implies that almost all other living…

This is a die-hard myth. But think of the hair as a rope. A rope with a diameter of 1 centimeter and a length of 3 centimeters has a thickness to height ratio greater than one with the same diameter, but 6 centimeters long. This makes the higher string appear…
