Big-Brained Birds Outlast the Dinosaurs?
Everyone has heard at least ten theories that explain why the dinosaurs went extinct. Apparently the newest idea relates back to Darwin’s survival of the fittest. Birds came along with bigger brains, therefore taking over and surviving new challenges that the dinosaurs could not sustain. Perhaps this theory will rise in popularity.
Reverse Aging Jellyfish
The “Benjamin Button” concept of aging backwards could actually be present in life. When the cells of this jellyfish reach near-death, they will instinctively resort to a younger state of life. Although this is not a natural life cycle, this tiny immortal jellyfish will age backwards if a shock occurs in their environment. Is it actually possible for life to age in reverse?
Methane Rain on Saturn Moon
The moon Titan that orbits Saturn has recently created itself a methane lake several times larger than Yellowstone National Park. This moon seems very interesting because it has methane clouds, which create mass amounts of methane rain. It also has seasons which include a “rainy” and “dry” seasons. Could this moon be more similar to Earth than other planets?
Early Humans Super-Powered Jaws
Long before big-brained Homo sapiens ruled the hominids, humans had to be able to eat anything without tools, thus making their jaws of super-strength. However, the exact reason why these humans had the powerful eating structures on their head is still in controversy. Did they use their power for eating food of extreme hardness, or simply because they needed to eat more food at one time?
