On Earth, there is just one sea that is completely landless.

If the universe is already infinite, what is it growing into?
You place the dough in a pan to bake a loaf of bread or a batch of muffins. The dough expands into the baking pan while it bakes in the oven. The expansion of the muffin batter causes any blueberries or chocolate chips to become further separated from one another.

Disease Affects The Democratic Republic Of The Congo In A "Mysterious" Way What Are We Aware Of?
Since October 2024, more than 400 persons in the rural Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) province of Kwango have reportedly been afflicted by an unknown illness. Although specialists admit that it is difficult to gain a genuine sense of the issue's scope, some estimates have put the number of deaths to date above 140.

Finding a Way Through Swampy Ground to Cross the Bering Bridge
Contrary to popular belief, the land bridge that spans the Bering Strait and endures for a large portion of the last Ice Age was probably quite different. According to a new study, the area between Asia and North America comprised boggy wetlands dotted by rivers and higher ground rather than a mixture of grassland, tundra, and ice sheet. The question of how and when the earliest humans arrived in the Americas is further complicated by the results.

It's Possible That Barbarian Warriors Used Drugs to Fight the Romans
According to recent research, Barbarian fighters may have sniffed drugs from tiny, delicate drug spoons before engaging in combat with the fierce Roman army, much like Gina Montana did in Scarface. These antiquated devices, which were frequently fastened to soldiers' belts and may have been used to administer hits of anything from opium to psychedelic fungus, are a little more elegant than a rolled-up banknote.

It's likely that Venus was always hell and never had oceans.
According to a new study, there is not enough water vapor in the seething mass of carbon dioxide that makes up the Venusian atmosphere to support the suggested rainy history. If confirmed, the study would imply that it is pointless to look for evidence of extinct oceans on Venus. It might also make us wonder if research on planets surrounding other stars that are warmer than Earth should be given less priority.

Lucy's Legacy: The Fossil That Revolutionised Our Knowledge of Human Evolution Fifty Years Later
On the morning of November 24, 1974, Donald Johanson and his doctoral student, Tom Grey, arrived at the location in Hadar, Ethiopia, where it was already quite hot. Originally, the two had planned to map the area, but when they were there, they decided to check for fossils. Sadly, at the time, there weren't many fossils visible on the surface, but they were able to locate pieces of gazelles, antelopes, and even a small monkey. Not exactly the luckiest of discoveries for a location believed to contain sediments older than three million years.

Building a giant "curtain" over Antarctica through geoengineering could lead to serious problems.
Scientists have considered building enormous underwater 'curtains' around ice sheets to shield the rest of the planet from rising sea levels due to the polar areas of the world melting at an alarming rate. In addition to the dangers of extreme geoengineering initiatives, international relations specialists caution that the proposal may lead to unprecedented political unrest.

In the next 20 years, 70% of the world's population may be affected by increases in extreme weather.
According to a recent analysis, almost three-quarters of the world's population will see notable and swift changes in rainfall and temperature over the course of the next 20 years. This is a sobering message to many people everywhere. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions dramatically is the only way to prevent this.

Not how you might think, a black hole is starving its galaxy to death.
The JWST's observation of a galaxy has verified the theory that certain supermassive black holes have the ability to destroy their host galaxy. The galaxy under consideration orbits the Milky Way, but it is traveling in a completely other direction. There is another way to do this insider murder than you might think since the black hole is devouring so much gas that not enough is left behind to generate stars.
