What If You Could Stop Time Whenever You Wanted to
There never seems to be enough hours in a day. Ever wonder what would happen if time just, I dunno, took a time-out? What if you could make like Doctor Strange and stop time altogether? It’s fun to think about when you imagine all the stuff you could do. But what about the hypothetical reality? By the way, what exactly is time? Time is the progression of events from the past to now and then on to the future. Physicists can make defining time a lot more complicated than that, but at the end of the day, it’s a system of measurement. So, if we stop time, that means we have a measurement of zero. In other words, we have nothing.

Narrow passageways, smoky fires, gloomy and dark rooms - that's what would have greeted you upon setting foot in a castle in medieval times. And that’s just the good part...

The Megalodon was the biggest shark to ever live and the largest predator in Earth's history. It could swallow a small car without it even touching its teeth - if cars had been around then. Scientists believe the Megalodon didn't look like a white shark: the ancestors of today's Great White existed at the same time as the Meg. Only around 80% of the ocean has been explored, so who knows what's lurking at the bottom? The Kraken, a colossal squid with powerful tentacles, could be hiding there along with the Meg.

Which Animal Has the Most Babies at Once
What animal has the most babies at one time? When it comes to biology, any species’ primary goal is to perpetuate itself. Our own species usually makes just 1 successor at a time, while a queen ant can make thousands a day. That’s far from the maximum, but let’s start small on roughly how many offspring this planet’s animals can have… For example, elephants, giraffes, camels, zebras, and humans typically have a single youngling at a time. African wild dog has a litter of two to 20 pups. Salamanders lay up about 300 eggs at a time. Piranha lays about 5,000 eggs in the nest. But there are creatures that lay up millions of eggs at once!

The Fast Way to Get Out of a Wildfire
Picture in your mind, you’re camping with your buddies for the weekend in a nearby forest. Your tents are all set-up, you ate your dinner, and you went to sleep. Suddenly, the smell of smoke wakes you up. You go outside to see what’s going on, and there it is: you’re in the middle of a wildfire. This scenario might seem unreal for most people, but it’s more common than you’d expect. Wildfires are very fast; they can overtake the average person in just a few minutes.
