How big can a wave get? And what's the biggest wave ever recorded? Well, imagine that you’re standing at the top of the Empire State Building and see a massive wall of water coming right at you! Even a tsunami can’t be that high, but what about… a megatsunami? A regular tsunami is bad enough. As it comes closer to the coast, it can grow up to 160 feet high, or about 15 stories! But what if the wave height wasn’t hundreds, but thousands of feet? Sounds like some unrealistic plot for a disaster movie, but it has happened! These skyscrapers of waves are called megatsunamis. They are so huge, they could’ve wiped the dinosaurs off the face of this planet! And surprisingly, for a tsunami to get upgraded to “mega” status, it’s not all about size. But what causes them? And can a megatsunami happen today?

Have you considered making a house out of some sunken ships? Because someone else did! It may sound crazy, but there’s a whole town built on these things. The ships were deliberately flooded and then connected together with metal bridges, creating a foundation for a real settlement in the sea. It’s probably one of the strangest places on Earth, and there are plenty more of them out there. So, there’s a mysterious place out in the middle of the Caspian Sea, about 60 miles from the city of Baku, Azerbaijan. Local fishermen gave it the spooky name of Black Rocks, thanks to the dark substance found on the stones there. In the 1940s a geological group went to take a look at the area, and they soon learned that the black stuff was oil. There was tons and tons of it under the seabed, which naturally attracted a lot of attention...

Btw, did you know that not all mosquitos suck blood? Only females drink blood, while male specimen feed solely on nectar. The good news is, you can tell the difference between the two!

Ships and planes disappearing without a trace , passengers never seen or heard from again, reports of strange lights in the sky.

There's a terrifying yet incredibly beautiful place, where water and sky mix into one picture. Where you’ll find virtually no living creatures for thousands of miles. Anyone who manages to get there will feel like the loneliest person. Destination: Point Nemo, the most remote place on Earth. So, to get to the most isolated spot on Earth, you'll need to arrive on the coast of Chile and rent an old fishing boat. From here, you’ll have to sail through the South Pacific Ocean toward New Zealand. 2,500 miles to your destination…and just as many on the way back. Point Nemo is a junkyard for space debris since there’s no one here to disturb.

What's the brightest star in the sky? What's the farthest human-made object in space? What's the smallest planet? There's a lot to wonder about space. We probably don't know all the answers but things we do know are really amazing. Tiny black holes, planets made of diamonds, stars no hotter than a cup of tea, and giant clouds of gas able to take almost any shape. In space, anything is possible. For example, there's a really hot planet made of ice! The surface temperature here should be at around 830°F, but the ice doesn’t melt because of the planet’s enormous gravity. Or did you know that theres's a huge molecular cloud not far from the center of the Milky Way? Scientists recognized more than 50 different molecules in it, but one of them is the same stuff that makes the taste of raspberries!

Some crazy things sometimes happen in this world... so what if you woke up as the giant sea monster Kraken one day? The first thing you feel is some heaviness around your body – as if you're sleeping under a soft but weighted blanket. You open your eyes and... it's weird. You're surrounded by some blue glow. You want to rub your eyes and discover that you have tentacles instead of hands!

When you come to the hottest place on Earth for the first time, you may be tricked into thinking you're suddenly surrounded by ice. But it's actually salt, left here from when the rainwater evaporates. Should you ever get to the top of the sand dunes of Death Valley, you may be lucky enough to experience one of the strangest things in the desert – singing sand. If you think things can’t possibly get any stranger in this surreal location, hear me out: some of the rocks here seem to be moving on their own! Could it be the wind that's moving them, or maybe there is some other reason?

Today, there are more than 1 million elevators just in the US, carrying people higher and lower every day. All these elevators travel about 1 and 1/2 billion miles per year and move around 18 billion passengers. You might think that you know everything about this vertical kind of transport. But, let's say, have you ever wondered why elevator doors have small holes in them? Imagine getting stuck in an elevator at the most inappropriate moment of your life. An elevator arrives at your floor, but the doors wouldn't open. Something must have gone wrong with the equipment, or there has been a power failure. In this case, getting out won't be an easy feat! That's why all you can do is to wait for an elevator mechanic. Finally, they turn up, but what next?

Picture this: amid the lush landscapes and serene waters of Thailand, there are these incredible stone sculptures that resemble majestic whales.

The world is full of interesting, fun, and fascinating people, places, and things. Every country in every continent has its own specificities, which made them unique. So here's a collection of some of the top interesting facts about the world from different countries across the globe!

Sending 1 lb of cargo into space costs about $10,000! So how do space agencies afford to send supplies like oxygen, water, and food to their astronauts? Before they found a more efficient solution, they’d pack all the water into space with them in their rockets. The water took up a lot of room that could’ve otherwise been used for other supplies. That, and the added weight wasted fuel. So short answer: nope, it doesn’t go with the crew from the get-go. That means they deliver it, right? That’d be too risky…and expensive! There’s no 100% guarantee that something bad won’t happen to the cargo ship at launch or on the way to the International Space Station. If the cargo doesn’t get to the station, then the next delivery will have to wait a very long time. That’s not an option since it’s dangerous for the astronauts. Ok, so let’s break it down item by item.

We all remember the tragic fate of the RMS Titanic. But here's a different part of that story: it's about one ship that didn’t help the Titanic. The Titanic passengers saw lights from another vessel but help never came - why? It's not some legend or a theory - this is a documented reality. We'll find out what ship could have saved the Titanic and why it didn't. Let's unveil some of the mysterious details of those events.

There's literally no place on Earth where you can escape insects unless you’re ready to swim since they don’t live in the oceans. They might as well be the largest network of secret agents on the planet, as insects have ears on their wings, some on their legs, and some even on their abdomen and necks. A lot of these bugs live pretty lonely lives, but there are some of them that actually have families! Ants don't take any fall damage because they're not nearly heavy enough to impact the surface they hit. Speaking of ants, there is about 1 quadrillion of them on the planet at any given

Making money is one thing, spending it is another. We often think about all the possibilities of how really rich people can spend their wealth.

What's the hottest place on Earth? Planning a vacation, but don’t know where to go? Yes, the Maldives, Bali, Thailand, and other warm countries seem very tempting. But what about an extreme trip? Let's say, to a beautiful place on Earth where life doesn't exist? The Danakil Depression is the hottest place on Earth, where the average temperature reaches 104°F, even in winter! And in summer it is even hotter, reaching 140°F. It's located at an altitude of 416 feet below sea level. In the heart of this "pit", among the geysers seething with acid and multi-colored salt deposits, there is the ominous and at the same time enchanting Danakil Depression...

There are some regions on our planet that do not receive rainfall for years. But what's the driest place on Earth? First of all, dry doesn’t necessarily mean hot. A desert is somewhere without much water and where there are almost no plants or animals. The McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica fit this description perfectly. There’s been no rain here for several million years, and so it’s not covered in ice! And the last time it had life was 90 million years ago when this place was a swamp filled with countless insects and trees. There’s no snow in the valleys because of the strong winds there that reach a speed of 200 mph. So McMurdo stays completely dry. There is some water in a few lakes, but it’s so salty that practically nothing lives there apart from microscopic organisms. The temperature in summer here is 5°F, and in winter it can reach -90°F. Even though there’s almost no life, the McMurdo Valleys are fascinating to scientists because their dry conditions are actually similar to the ones on Mars.

The SS Arctic, the fastest passenger liner of its time, set out to cross the Atlantic in 1854. Going only 50 miles from Newfoundland, they carelessly continued through the fog with no radio contact, sonar, or any other form of identifying objects, equipped only with Morse code. A smaller ship, the SS Vesta, was passing through the same path as the Arctic and crashed into its side. It was soon clear that the damage that seemed minor in the Arctic was far worse. What happened later went down in history as the most shameful sinking.

How many microbes are in the human body? Your body consists of innumerable cells, but not all of them are you, exactly. In fact, more than half of what is you are microorganisms that hitch a ride on and inside your body: the average human is home to about 40 trillion microbes against 30 trillion of their own cells. And outside your body, there are trillions of times more. The tiniest single-cell organism doesn’t even have a name yet. It’s 9 nanometers long — 150,000 of these critters fit on the tip of a hair. The largest single-cell organism in the world is a seaweed, and it can reach almost 10 feet in length! The world of microorganisms is amazing! Let’s take a look at what they are!

How to know it's time to get a new phone? Let's imagine you’re leaving for Mars and can only bring one thing with you. If you choose your phone, will it keep working for a long time, or break as soon as you arrive? Well, there are signs that you need to replace your smartphone. Does your phone keep turning on and off by itself? That most likely means something is wrong with the battery. Batteries in some models can be easily replaced, but it's impossible for others. Does your phone overheat, even when you aren't using it? First, try removing the case and replacing it with one that offers more air flow. If that doesn’t help, something might be seriously wrong with its internal hardware. Are there vertical lines across the screen? Lines, bands, flickering, and other screen anomalies are all signs something is wrong with your hardware. Answer these and some other questions to discover if you need a new phone before lift-off!
