Desert mice species have very complex underground nests with many rooms and tunneling. And it's not done by like an army of collective ants, but by one or a few mice. And I can't find any pic from these underground complexes on the internet.

Cool question 😀. For me, it is this: To the best of our knowledge today, there are no infinities in nature. Everything we know about theoretical physics can in principle be deduced from this by a specific limit statement. There is a minimum value of entropy (Thermodynamics) There is a maximum energy speed c (Special Relativity) There are maximum values of power and force (General Relativity) There is a minimum value of action (Quantum Mechanics) Sorry man, but that is, at the very best, a completely vague and hilariously inaccurate statement :/ I beg to differ Nano- there IS something very wrong with that "thought". I suppose it would be intelligent to consider if the Oort cloud is in fact offering any evidence that it is not a natural phenomenon as a start. ahh theres nothing to prove that its natural either, comets zip around meteors travel around but so far the Oort cloud just hangs outside our solar system creating a giant shield around us ... if it were a natural phenomenom then we would expect them to be at other m-type stars and so far we haven't found any well maybe tabbie which they have bene watching grow dimmer over the last 4 years like someone was creating a giant cloud around it 1500 years ago.... Nano pls. (just FYI, I'm not bashing you, I'm just disagreeing with the Oort cloud story ) That we haven't seen anything else like it- doesn't tip me over to thinking it's artificially created either. Not every phenomenon in space is going to be common or likely to happen and our current explorations are minuscule compared to the vastness of our universe. So for me at least the jury is still out. yeah I know I suppose a lot of folks just want it to be true on many levels, and being a bit of sci-fi enthusiast I would like some of it to be true... Bingo!!!

Alright I'm not sure about the most astounding, but I'll provide some facts that I find funny and surprising.
Did you know that a cat that falls from the 6th floor is likely to die, while one that falls from the 12th is likely to survive the fall without serious injuries?

Oh, and another one, wrap your head around that one: Retroactive Precognition. Future can affect present cognition. Mind blowing stuff.
-> Dr. Daryl J. Bem conducted 9 experiments and presented evidence that future events can affect present cognition. Working off the premise that there are “anomalous processes of information or energy transfer that are currently unexplained in terms of known physical or biological mechanisms,” Bem tested 1,000 college students for their ability to correctly intuit random information. In one study, Bem conducted a reverse memory test, having his subjects categorize random words that they would later commit to memory. Bem’s results showed that the students were more likely to recall words in the present if they later memorized them.''

This that you just read and quoted, my friend, is a giant pile of horseshit. No way to put it in a simpler way, really. I have not read the article nor will I, cause I've got much better ways to spend my time, even though debunking it would be sort of fun I guess. But there are countless reasons why the "study" could have given that result, ranging from psychological suggestion to statistical artifices to flat out poor study methodology.

What I'm getting at is that it is not enough anymore to read that something was published as results of a "study" to directly conclude that it is reliable. There needs to be a semi-deep research on the author(s), the magazine, their reputation, and other cases of similar studies in the literature, before you can really trust something you read on the internet. Back to the article you quoted, I can tell you it's a giant pile of horseshit with near certainty simply because causality, which such a phenomenon would break, is possibly *the* most profound, important, and replicated pillar of our understanding of the universe.

Hundreds of years of studies, millions of years of human existence, and there hasn't been a single reproducible instance in which it was broken. The chance that such an article is actually right, and somehow was able to gauge something that noone before in millions of years has ever experienced, is... As close to non-existant as I can think. Should be obvious, but I'm gonna add it cause you never know: I wasn't accusing, picking you up personally, or doing anything like that. I just like to spread correct information

well strictly speaking its one I read online but say it slowly and think about it What if I told you... This might be a good occasion to introduce/remind you of 'Phaedrus's Law'. Of course, it's not Phaedrus's, it's Pirsig's (American philosopher) but he can name it whatever he want. Anyway, it states that for every observation/phenomenon (alternatively finite, fixed set of data) there is a large number of different hypotheses that fit as an explanation. This ties in to that you can't really directly prove a scientific theory. You can only prove that it's false (if it is). A theory is instead strengthened by failures to disprove it, until it must be accepted as fact. So the key here is more data. And more data exists. Thanks to seismic measurements from the Apollo missions, we do know that the Moon is not hollow (actually we knew that anyway ), and has an internal structure that is very similar to Earth's.

But there are bad studies (more than less)and bad science being perpetrated *everywhere*. So a lot of the things we hold as facts and common sense now- are based on very shoddy footing (several major nutrition studies I'm looking at YOU). When reviewing information it's always a good idea to look at source and who paid for it

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permian–Triassic_extinction_eventThe Permian–Triassic (P–Tr) extinction event, colloquially known as the Great Dying, the End Permian or the Great Permian Extinction, occurred about 252 Ma (million years) ago, forming the boundary between the Permian and Triassic geologic periods, as well as the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras. It is the Earth's most severe known extinction event, with up to 96% of all marine species and 70% of terrestrial vertebrate species becoming extinct.It is the only known mass extinction of insects. Some 57% of all families and 83% of all genera became extinct. Because so much biodiversity was lost, the recovery of life on Earth took significantly longer than after any other extinction event, possibly up to 10 million years.
There is evidence for one to three distinct pulses, or phases, of extinction. Suggested mechanisms for the latter include one or more large bolide impact events, massive volcanism, coal or gas fires and explosions from the Siberian Traps, and a runaway greenhouse effect triggered by sudden release of methane from the sea floor due to methane clathrate dissociation or methane-producing microbes known as methanogens; possible contributing gradual changes include sea-level change, increasing anoxia, increasing aridity, and a shift in ocean circulation driven by climate change.Even bigger than the one at the end of Cretaceous that extincted Dinosaurs. For example these creatures and their family-branches were 100% extincted: There is lots of theories about it. The fact is those creatures got wiped out.

A little girl named Michelle Funk fell into an icy creek at 2.5 years old for 66 minutes. When they pulled her out of the water, she had no pulse and wasn't breathing. More than 3 hours later, when her blood reached 77º Fahrenheit, she woke up and is still alive today.
There are public restrooms in Switzerland that are lit with blue lights to prevent junkies from finding their veins.
When Henry Molaison had his hippocampus removed as a drastic measure to stop extremely severe epilepsy, he developed anterograde amnesia. From that day forward, his mind could not consolidate short term memory into long term memory, thus he always lost whatever conscious memories he made after the surgery. He could store skills developed in his muscle memory, but he never remembered what he did. Adam Sandler's 50 First Dates portrays that condition.

"Predicting Climate is Easier than Predicting Weather" When you discredit and devalue the past data so much, you can't assume you can predict. and wattsupwiththat.com/2013/04/08/rebuttal-to-the-attack-on-dr-don-easterbrook/Yep, when most Data are politically abused in a PC model to use as an agenda for the green industry. It's actually an ideology now. Half of Europe was covered in Ice till at least 18000 years ago. I think another Ice Age is more dangerous than +3 C degree raise on earth (which can be nature made). BTW you didn't attack my conclusion. My simple "Mesozoic life flourish conclusion" is priceless. Nothing can scratch it.

Also the fact that the sunlight we feel on our skin right now is tens of thousands if not million years old and was created back in ancient times.
WAT, 8 minutes you say? No, the photons are ''created'' relatively deep inside our sun, to penetrate all the outer layers of the sun (the sun is HUGE) the photon bounces wildly around between all the countless atoms and particles until it finally reaches the outer layer and travels to earth. Even though the photon is super fast it still has to find its way out of an incredibly large maze of dense sun matter.

I find this map a good one. Almost accurate for the majority of (or the original) people in certain regions. Quite correct for middle east, Sudan and west Africa (darkest on earth), north Africa (difference between Egypt and Algeria for example) etc.

"Intoxicated ants will always fall to the right".
I believe this claim has no legitimacy.
I have carried out my own research and after a few vodkas, all they do is sit around and tell 'your aunt was so fat...' jokes.
