Under layers of dirt, pinpricked with animal burrows and shrubs, archeologists found a circle of mammoth bones — evidence of a dwelling built between 25,063 to 24,490 years ago.

In a new paper, physicists argue that extradimensional holes known as “bubbles of nothing” could cause the universe to consume itself from the inside out, Motherboard reports. Three researchers from the University of Oviedo in Spain and the University of Uppsala in Sweden submitted a paper, appropriately titled “Nothing Really Matters,” to the Journal of High-Energy Physics this month — about a hypothetical, mind-bending hole that could destroy the entire universe.

‘All men by nature desire to know’¹, this is how Aristotle began his work “Metaphysics” and this has been established as the standard philosophical definition of curiosity — ‘a desire to know’. Curiosity is tied to motivation and understanding how and what motivates us to learn might lead us to understand why we find it valuable.

Yeah,this is good!

It was in 1998 when the Japanese electronics giant Sony was careless enough to release 700,000 camcorders that had the adroitness to see through people’s clothes. As soon as Sony realized what havoc it had caused, the camcorders were immediately recalled.

Imagine you’re in line at a coffee shop. You order your usual cappuccino and swipe your credit card to pay. Then the cashier swivels a little screen that prompts you for a tip – before the espresso shot is pulled or a drop of milk steamed. Do you tip more, perhaps hoping that it will lead to a better drink? Or less or none at all, peeved at being asked to reward service that hasn’t happened yet? Do you feel pressured into tipping the suggested amounts, which can equate to more than half the price of the drink?

In Frozen 2 there are multiple references to Sami culture and Scandinavian myths and folklore. The Sámi´s are native people of Scandinavia. There are about 20 000 people in this world who speak Sámi languages. These days you can find Sámi´s all over the world (and people with Sámi ancestry) but in general, most Sámi´s live in the Lapland of Sweden, Norway, Finland and Kuola Peninsula in Russia.

The unique handcrafted mechanisms manufactured here are a burglar's worst nightmare.

We all feel the oppressive presence of rules, both written and unwritten – it's practically a rule of life. Public spaces, organisations, dinner parties, even relationships and casual conversations are rife with regulations and red tape that seemingly are there to dictate our every move. We rail against rules being an affront to our freedom, and argue that they're "there to be broken".

The sound of pens and pencils scribbling against paper on a wooden table is unmistakable. I have dreamt of it many times. In the quiet classroom, as the ancient fans swiveled and spun under the mildewed ceiling, people in white shirts sat in front of their desks facing white papers, on top of which was written the esoteric symbols of x+y=z or sin, cos, tan.

Some researchers have cast doubt on the record of the celebrated supercentenarian.

Prison Economy… the economy in prison is basically just a mirror reflection on that of the streets. Instead of paper money and debit cards this economy still functions on the old platform of a barter system. The trading of goods for other goods or services...

“What’s past is prologue.” So says the famed quote from Shakespeare’s The Tempest, alleging that we can look to what has already happened as an indication of what will happen next. This idea could be interpreted as being rather bleak; are we doomed to repeat the errors of the past until we correct them? We certainly do need to learn and re-learn life lessons—whether in our work, relationships, finances, health, or other areas—in order to grow as people.

Last year at this time, Westbrook, Maine, made headlines when a 100-yard-wide ice circle appeared on the surface of the Presumpscot River, drawing thousands of people to see the phenomenon for themselves. Its popularity on social media and its resemblance to the moon helped make it the poster child for ice circles, and even now, a year later, locals wait with anticipation in hopes that it will form again.

The smartest people in history suffered from depression and various kinds of mental illnesses due to the impact their thinking habits left on their social life. The smartest people are the saddest people, and that's evident if you survey the best and most creative people in history, regardless of their domain, whether it's science or art or entertainment, all of those individuals who sparked additional intelligence and creativity rather than the rest of the crowd had to pay for it big time in social isolation, social bullying and social rejection, as children or grown-ups.

"Bogus Cinderellas" can come from micronations, outer space, or parallel dimensions.

Thousands of years before Monopoly, people were playing games like Senet, Patolli and Chaturanga

We’re at a point where we think the food that HELPED US BECOME HUMAN is somehow bad for us. The thing that we’ve been eating for ~2.5 million years. The thing that has the most bioavailable and complete protein and nutrients on earth.

Cannibalism is one of the most universal taboos. Frowned upon in nearly every culture around the world (even if there isn't always a law on the books to punish this very specific act), cannibals populate the worst of our ghost stories and horror movies. From Sawney Bean and his clan in the hills of Scotland, to Hannibal Lecter in Silence of The Lambs, cannibals are everywhere.
