Obvious and unbelievable nearby. But no! Almost immediately, a tangle of questions unfolds, without deciding which, one cannot move on.
In any kind of human activity. At the junction of specialties, science makes discoveries that help in the diagnosis, prevention of diseases, disasters.
10. "Face" of Hurricane Matthew
It is a powerful tropical cyclone over the Caribbean Sea. Wind speed reached 230 km / h. Human lives were carried away, floods swept away everything in its path.
Satellites were shooting for this natural cataclysm. The color photographs were terrifying. Some meteorologists describe the images as a “demonic face”, while others describe it as the face of a St. Bernard or skull with a mysterious smile.
9. Zombie Spiders
Ecuador describes spiders that live in breeding colonies. And they have everything in common. And cohabitation is their hallmark.
However, it was noticed that some individuals leave the team of like-minded people and begin to weave strange cocoons from leaves and cobwebs.
An autopsy revealed: in the center of the nest there is a spider in whose abdomen eggs of a wasp are laid. The hatched larva begins to feed on a spider. And after 9-11 days it turns into an adult.
Scientists make the assumption that the wasp injects into the victim a substance that paralyzes the latter, and thereby prevents escape. "Zombies" leads to the death of the unfortunate arthropod.
8. The ghost robot
This is a diagnostic experience that people who have complained of a sense of being watched have agreed to do.
The apparatus was installed at the subject behind the back, where the machine simulated the movement of a finger along the patient’s back. The synchronization of the device did not cause an alarm.
As soon as his movements ceased to coincide with the apparatus, a feeling of fear arose. Neurophysiologists, therefore, diagnose brain pathology by mapping its damaged areas.
7. Jupiter's Supernatural Song
Space has always attracted people with its mystery. When it became technically possible to send spacecraft unmanned by man into space, it did not get any better. Unsolved riddles turned into an avalanche.
Inexplicable today is information from Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system. Such an atmospheric phenomenon as the aurora gives rise to powerful radio emissions. A spacecraft operating in the orbit of the planet recorded them.
Already on the ground, the received information was decoded into sound files. It turned out a chilling sound track with viscous, uterine sounds of small, large, subcontract. It is believed that this cacophony of sounds is created by electrons of unknown origin. Research is ongoing.
6. A worm inside a person
An unpleasant medical history, from which there is no way to insure yourself. The five most dangerous parasites that can live in the human body are currently described.
Infection occurs: through the gastrointestinal tract by larvae that find each other in the human blood and fertilize with the development of living individuals; when unprotected walking on land or sand at world resorts; through unprotected hands, on the skin of which cracks, or even wounds, are possible.
And then, the resettlement of parasites begins in the beloved "apartments": under the mucous membranes of the organs, into the muscles, into the lymphatic circulation. Such cohabitation with a person not only complicates the work of damaged organs and systems, but also threatens the death of the owner, that is, the person.
5. Caroline butcher
A modern crocodile leads a semi-aquatic lifestyle, eats everything that moves in the water and the coastal strip. 2-5.5 meters long. The maximum grows to 7 meters.
Moves on land by simply crawling on his stomach and high gait, moving his limbs like all mammals. The ancestor of the modern predator is crocodilomorph.
Called Carolina butcher, at the location of the remains. In height, the parent reached 275 meters, moved on his hind legs and led a land lifestyle.
The bipedal giant crocodile lived in warm, humid regions. The structure of the jaw and teeth made it possible to draw a conclusion about the exclusively bloodthirsty nature of the animal.
4. The killer machine
It's about artificial intelligence. Created in a computer game. The main task of the player is to accumulate energy that “comes out” of dead enemies, which motivates the actor to close combat. This threatens him with death.
And then, if he survived, the player is invited to kill everyone for tactical purposes. His goals are plausible. Destroy the traitor and seal the portal through which the forces of darkness penetrated. And in the end, the lifeguard in front of the viewer turns into a serial killer, for which, in addition, receives encouragement.
There is a danger that the battle to defeat "will be thrown into real life."
3. San Andreas and the second fault
The Pacific lithosphere plate conflicts with the North American. The site of the collision was called the San Andreas Fault. In fact, this is a huge crack, near which an earthquake zone is formed.
The first earthquake occurred in 1906, the second after 83 years. A third is currently expected.
Seismologists have been warning him for a single year. An explanation was found disappointing. A second fault line forms in parallel with the existing fault line. It is she who is holding back a new misfortune.
2. Spider virus
Hearing viruses of humans, mammals. And the fact that spiders and insects suffer is little known. WO virus. It infects bacteria that parasitize in spiders and insects. Its main characteristic is fast mutation, quick adaptability.
The virus has a powerful weapon, namely a toxin, which allows you to penetrate the cell membrane and destroy the cell nucleus.
Selectively selects whole genes from DNA. And what! The gene responsible for the immune system, the toxicity gene. What does it mean? That the black widow spider will be people's best friend?
1. Cosmic madness
In 1961, the first manned spacecraft was launched into a space orbit around the Earth. By 2030, expansion to Mars is planned.
According to reports - it is technically not difficult to accomplish, but protecting the astronauts from radiation is not yet possible.
The peculiarity of Mars is that it has a very thin atmosphere and the magnetosphere is completely absent. As a result, this leads to the fact that a person is absolutely not protected from both solar radiation and cosmic radiation created by supernovae.
Many systems collapse from the bombardment of ionized particles in the body. The brain is inflamed. And if a person manages to survive, intelligence will be destroyed. An additional concern is the fact that a similar situation will develop during the mission.
