British broadcaster BBC has released a story "A huge Siberian hole in the ground is getting bigger", dedicated to the Batagay crater. This geographical feature is also called the "gates of hell". Scientists exploring this crater are studying the climate of the past of our planet and global warming
In most cases, the border of one sea with another is just an area on the map. But sometimes it happens that the waters cannot mix quickly. The most obvious case is different salinity, in which different bodies of water are separated by a visually noticeable boundary. A halocline is formed. Let's look at him
There is an amazing town in Catalonia, where no tourist has yet gotten lost in the endless maze of streets, squares and alleys. And this is not because this settlement has an ideal layout, but because it has only one street with two rows of houses that literally hang from the ridge of a cliff. So what had to happen for people to climb the steep cliffs, and even managed to build a full-fledged town?
Object SG-3 or "Kola experimental reference superdeep well" has become the deepest development in the world. In 1997, she entered the Guinness Book of Records as the deepest human invasion of the earth's crust. To date, the well has been mothballed for many years
Forecasters promise a sunny day, and outside the window - a blizzard. Inaccuracies in forecasts are associated with both rapidly changing environmental conditions and global climate transformations. Meteorologists have made a breakthrough in forecasting, today mathematical algorithms are used, new methods and tools are being created to study current weather conditions
The world around us surprises both in childhood and in adulthood. Looking at familiar things, we often think about why it looks and works exactly like that. For example, why does not electrocute birds on wires, firefighters have buckets in the shape of a cone, old books smell in a special way, and animals cannot talk
We know little about the climate in Russia. We are sure that St. Petersburg is the rainiest city, and the driest city is in the south. But it's not like that at all
In fact, there are many examples when people suddenly start talking about themselves as a completely different person who lived at a different time and in a different place
Over the years, animal trainers, pet owners, and naturalists have reported various types of animal discernment indicating that they have telepathic powers. Surprisingly, little research has been done on these phenomena. Biologists have a taboo on "paranormality," and researchers and parapsychologists have focused on
When we talk about physics, then, first of all, we understand that we are talking about the nature or origin of things. After all, "fuzis" in Greek means "nature". For example, we say "the nature of matter", which means that we are talking about the origin of matter, its structure, development. Therefore, under "physics of consciousness" we will also understand the origin of consciousness, its structure and development
Examination of a woman with complaints of persistent diarrhea and acute abdominal pain revealed acute inflammation of the colon caused by Clostridia. Given the resistance of the bacteria to antibiotics, the patient was offered an experimental, but effective method of therapy - transplantation of donor microbiota
While thousands of people have visited the highest point of the planet, Everest, only three have descended to the bottom of the Mariana Trench. This is the least explored place on Earth, there are many mysteries around it. Last week, geologists found out that over a million years, 79 million tons of water penetrated through the fault at the bottom of the depression into the bowels of the Earth
The collective behavior of animals is fundamentally different from the behavior of individual individuals. Observing flocks of migratory birds or clouds of locusts, in a single impulse following a strictly defined route, scientists still cannot answer the question - what drives them?
A complete study of the lake has not been carried out, but it is assumed that, being on the border of two faults, the lake is replenished with oil from below. Lighter oil constituents evaporate leaving heavier fractions
While visiting the Vatican museums, which are really worthy and interesting, I noticed several negative points, some of which even took me by surprise. Somehow I didn't expect this, at least from the Vatican. And in the famous Sistine Chapel, it was not at all very comfortable for me to be, even a little unpleasant. But the frescoes of the legendary Michelangelo are not to blame. In general, a significant fly in the ointment turned out to be in a barrel of honey called the Vatican. Let's talk about this
Our body can be studied endlessly, and only school textbooks on biology are indispensable. For example, did you know what an ophthalmologist sees when your pupils dilate, what the nervous system looks like, a damaged capillary and cones and rods enlarged under a microscope in the eye?
Throughout the history of their existence, people have been trying to create shelters that could shelter them from adversity and protect them from wild animals and their own kind. As a rule, during the construction of a dwelling, the main criteria were taken into account: the climatic zone, the availability of natural materials, tools and traditions. How did this affect the appearance of buildings and their design, we will try to figure it out in our review
Iron processing in the 19th century, despite its apparent simplicity, remains one of the vast number of currently unsolved mysteries. The most common way of constructing anything from steel in the 19th century was with rivets. They were used so often that it seems that bolted connections were much more complicated, and welded ones were not even invented - there was no need for them
Scientists analyzed the structure of the brain of middle-aged women and found that it looks younger in those who have given birth than in those who have never had children. This is due to the fact that the protective mechanisms included in the body of the expectant mother operate throughout life. The research results are published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
When we “engage” in healing frequencies, our body and mind vibrate in harmony. We feel it when we turn on the radio, and our favorite song comes from it, or when we sit quietly and listen to the sound of the rain. But how exactly does it work, how does sound heal us? Hans Jenny, a Swiss medical doctor from Basel, has put together fascinating experiments in which we can literally "see" how sound works
Between 1952 and 1969, the US Air Force conducted a series of UFO research and sightings called Project Blue Book. This year, not only a new series was released on the historical channel, but also this year marks the 50th anniversary of the completion of this project. Let's take a closer look at this secret program
Are there people in your life that you hate? It could be a colleague, family member, or grumpy neighbor. You probably call them "toxic", but there was a lady in the world who was so "poisonous" that people literally could not be around her. Her name was Gloria Ramirez
A physician from the United States, Joel Salinas, has the phenomenon of mirror touch, medically called synesthesia *. From childhood, the boy knew how to feel the sensations of other people, as his own, writes BBC
For a long time, the Earth's climate has fluctuated for ten different reasons, including orbital wobbles, tectonic shifts, evolutionary changes, and other factors. They plunged the planet either in ice ages or in tropical heat. How do they relate to contemporary anthropogenic climate change?
If you look at the flight map of passenger aircraft for a long time, you will notice that liners almost never fly through some parts of the globe. There are not so many such places on the globe. One of them is Tibet - a mountainous region in Central Asia, which today is considered the territory of the People's Republic of China
When the meteorite fell, it created a huge crater with a diameter of 20 and a depth of 7 meters in the factory complex in the wee hours of Tuesday in the industrial zone of Itaran Alwar, Rajasthan
More recently, those people who spoke about the inevitability of a global cataclysm were called crazy and advised them to wear foil hats, but now even the most impenetrable skeptics see that our world is changing and not for the better
About 40 km northeast of the city of Gaya in the Indian state of Bihar, in the middle of an absolutely flat yellow-green plain, there rises a small rocky ridge about three kilometers long. In the rocks of this ridge, there is the Barabar cave monastery - the oldest preserved in India. Four caves carved out
One of the popular Russian researchers, who is studying the ancient civilizations that existed on the territory of modern Siberia, once found the ruins of very ancient cities, as well as their defenses and megaliths. He was very much surprised by the finds in one of the most mysterious parts of Siberia - the Putorana plateau

We continue to “catch” and publish controversial but interesting material that appears on the insider site Above Top Secret
In 1922, on one of the islands of the Indus River in Pakistan, archaeologists discovered the ruins of an ancient city under a layer of sand. This place was named Mohenjo-Daro, which in the local language means "Hill of the Dead"
This year marks the 300th anniversary of the release of the legendary novel Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe. No matter how incredible the story of Robinson's adventure may seem, history knows no less impressive cases of real survival on uninhabited islands
Throughout its history, the sword has been the weapon of the nobility. The warriors considered their blades to be real comrades in arms, and they could not afford to lose him in battle, because this way the fighter would brand himself with shame. But the swords themselves are not spared by fame - individual blades have their own names, history and are even endowed with magical properties
How over the millennia, starting with the ancient Greeks, people's ideas about dreams developed, what new psychoanalysis brought to them, by what mechanisms the unconscious hides from us the meanings "banned" by the internal censorship, what the analysis of dreams can give us and what principles can be relied on when interpreting images
Historically, Japanese swords have been called the soul of the samurai, and the katana is the most famous of all types of sword. In the culture of the Land of the Rising Sun, the sword occupies a special place, and a blade made by the hands of a master can cost fabulous money. What is the secret of the phenomenon of this weapon, which has become a kind of fetish?
One of the most famous is the myth of the English longbow as a superweapon. True, back in the 19th century, Sir Ralph Payne-Gullway questioned him and showed the serious advantages of a crossbow and a Turkish bow. But he acted with caution. Apparently, he understood that this national myth is one of those whales on which the kingdom stands
The underground submarine base at Balaklava is one of the most famous relics of the Cold War from the Soviet Union. Once this top-secret complex was created in the event of the last war of mankind - the Third World War, with the widespread use of nuclear weapons. Fortunately, a new world massacre did not happen in the 20th century, and the country of the Soviets did not exist at all. For these reasons, today Balaklava remains a mute reminder of the fears and ambitions of the superpowers of the last century
What is reality? And who can answer this question? Last year, scientists at Heriot-Watt University in Scotland tested an interesting experiment that suggests objective reality may not exist
It is believed that transmitting or "reading" thoughts at a distance is a unique ability that only a few have. However, numerous experiments and experiments with people and animals made it possible to prove that telepathy is not such a rare phenomenon
