There are too many things to worry about NOW!!! :moony:

Five billion years from now, our sun will die. After running out of hydrogen fuel, it will start burning heavier and heavier elements in its fusion core, causing its body to bloat, shedding huge quantities of material into space via violent stellar winds. During this time, our star will expand around 100 times bigger than it is now, becoming what is known as a "red giant." This dramatic expansion will engulf Mercury and Venus, the two closest planets to the sun. But what is less clear is what will happen to Earth - will our planet go the way of Mercury and Venus and succumb to an ocean of superheated plasma? Or will our planet escape the worst of the sun's death throes to continue orbiting the

[h=3]Fierce animal portraits[/h]These animals might not be snarling, but they’re still looking fierce! The remarkable series of photographs include a pelican with its wings around its children, a panda chomping on a bamboo stick and a cheetah gazing into the distance. A supermodel in a studio could have struck these poses. Photographer Spanish photographer Pedro Jarque Krebs took the images. He spent hours photographing animals in nature reserves until they pulled the perfect face. Krebs then manipulated the lighting and backgrounds to make it appear as if the animals had their very own studio shoot.

[h=3]Stunning Image of Yosemite Will Make You Do a Double-Take[/h]Even if you've never been to Yosemite National Park, you have a good idea of what it looks like. There's majestic mountains, beautiful forests, and glassy expanses of water. But the latest viral optical illusion offers a whole new perspective on the National Landmark. Take a look: Looks like another jaw-dropping photo of Yosemite at night, right? Wrong. Take a look at the water. How could it be night on top of the mountain, but the water reflects a clear blue sky? The clue lies in the trees. If you guessed correctly, you're looking at a flipped image. In other words, the "starry night" was actually sand underneath the crystal-clear water, and the blue sky reflected in the water was the actual

    Colombia plane crash: Second Bolivian suspect charged

    The Bolivian authorities have detained a second suspect over the air crash that killed most of Brazil's Chapacoense football team last month. Prosecutors said Gustavo Vargas Villegas, a former aviation authority official, is being held on charges of misusing his influence by authorizing a licence for the doomed plane. His father, who is also in detention, was one of the owners of the charter airline that operated the plane. Both have denied any wrongdoing. The plane which killed 71 people apparently left Bolivia with less than the regulation amount of fuel in its tanks and crashed when it ran out. Mr Vargas Villegas said, "I am innocent. I did not authorise the operating licences." Edwin Blanco,

[h=3]Soccer plane crash survivors fined $30K for missing match[/h]The surviving members of the Brazilian soccer team that lost most of its players when its plane crashed in Colombia have been fined $30,000 for missing their final match of the season, according to a report. Nineteen players from the Chapecoense team were among the 71 of 77 people who perished when LaMia’s Avro RJ85 crashed Nov. 28 near Medellin en route to the Copa Sudamericana final against Atletico Nacional. Six people survived, including three players - defender Alan Luciano Ruschel, reserve goalie Jackson Ragnar Follmann and center-back Helio Hermito Zampier Neto. The final round of the Brazilian championship was held Dec. 1, but a match against Atletico Mineiro was canceled because of the tragedy, the Mirror of the UK reported.

[h=3]World's heaviest woman flies to India to fight for her life[/h]Publicity surrounding Eman's plight caught the attention of eminent Mumbai-based surgeon, Dr. Muffazal Lakdawala, who set up a fundraising initiative in order to fly Eman to India. He plans to set in motion a series of operational procedures that will reduce her weight to double digits. "She is battling with her life every single day," Dr. Lakdawala told CNN. He says that as things stand, how long she lives is anybody's guess. "Right now she is like a living bombshell, which could blow up on her any moment." According to Guinness World Records, the world's heaviest living woman is Pauline Potter from the United States, who weighs 643 pounds (291.6 kg.) 'She always had hope' Eman's family says

The most common dialogue I hear from tiny tots is "I am so sad" or "You have made me very sad!"

[h=3]Researchers think they've found the key to happiness and it's not what you think (or maybe it is)[/h]Artists and poets have long argued that the key to happiness is not money - and landmark research may prove them right. SEE ALSO: Being sexist can be bad for a man's psychological health, too A study by the London School of Economics, which looked at responses from 200,000 people, found that suffering from depression or anxiety were the main causes for human misery. While salaries have more than doubled in the last 50 years, on average people have become no happier, according to Lord Richard Layard, who led the report. This is because on a scale of one to 10 on “how satisfied are you with your life, these days?”, the doubling of someone's wage saw their happiness rise by less than 0.2. That's

    [h=3]Neuromotor problems at the core of autism, study says[/h]Rutgers neuroscientists have established that problems controlling bodily movements are at the core of autism spectrum disorders and that the use of psychotropic medications to treat autism in children often makes such neuromotor problems worse. The findings, published recently in Nature Scientific Reports, are contrary to the conventional medical understanding of autism - that it is a mental illness and that neuromotor problems, while often occurring at the same time as autism, are not at its biological core. "For the first time, we can demonstrate unambiguously that motor issues are core issues that need to be included in the diagnosis criteria for autism," says Elizabeth Torres, an associate

Saniye thuNai ini namakku!!! :)



It’s several hundred years into the future. You live in a cold climate, but thick clothing keeps you warm. You eat food from the community greenhouse. Sometimes you even go boating, spending tranquil days under the orange sky. Life is similar in some ways to how it is now. In other ways, it’s very different. For one thing, you can fly. Also - your body is now permanently incapable of adapting to Earth’s atmosphere, and you can never return. This is life on Titan, the largest of Saturn’s more than 50 moons. The scenario isn’t as outlandish as you think. According to Charles Wohlforth and Amanda R. Hendrix, Ph.D., the authors of “Beyond Earth: Our Path to a New Home in the Planets” (Pantheon Books),

[h=3]Introverts Were Born That Way, Science Shows[/h]It doesn't matter why introverts prefer working the way we do, the jury is in and the verdict is clear. These quieter types can be equally as good leaders, speakers, and entrepreneurs as the more outspoken among us. But in case you're curious, science has recently made a series of discoveries about just why introverts are the way they are, uncovering the underlying biology of the personality profile. Writer Derek Walter recently outlined much of it for a fascinating deep dive into the subject for author Susan Cain's Quiet Revolution website. A tour of the the introvert brain "There's a lot of science about why introverts are the way they are. Research is ongoing, but we can say with confidence
