The Psychology of Fear (for dummies)
Everyone is scared of something. But is there some thing that everyone is scared of? What is the scariest thing possible? Is it thunder? Could it be shadows? Or perhaps being burned alive? The scariest thing, when seeking a universal fear that transcends cultural, age, and neurological differences, lies in the realm of the mind. To comprehend the origins of fear, we have to delve into the complicated process of how fears are learned.

Wormholes: Real or a Figment of Imagination?
The concept of wormholes, if encountered in reality, would manifest as spherical portals, reminiscent of black holes. Imagine a round, shimmering window offering a glimpse into a distant realm. Upon passing over this cosmic tunnel, the other side unfolds, revealing a new view, with your previous location fading into the background in the spherical window. The question arises: are wormholes genuine phenomena, or are they intricacies of magic concealed in the garments of physics and mathematics?

Exploring Outside Our Sphere pt.2
What's Buzzing? The second round of external planets, from our previous exploration into destinations, you might not want to dare go near, starts with an overtake to a planet that unveils a slow, morbid merry-go-round of death - "WASP-12b", labeled by scientists as "doomed". Setting foot on its surface is unfeasible due to a harrowing fate: the planet is being torn apart by its host star, fragment by fragment, casting its remnants into outer space.

Exploring Outside Our Sphere
"Hell - thankfully - Not On Earth" It would be really hard to find an individual who has scrabbled through the vastness of outer space and our universe without experiencing a bone-chilling terror. The concept of endless, empty space, menacing black holes capable of practically erasing matter, and trillions of mysterious exoplanets floating through space can evoke a sense of awe and fear. Today, we will explore the first 3 of 6 incredible exoplanets, each resembling a hellish environment, isolated in the vastness of space, with some, even deceiving astronomers.

Time-lapses on Earth - A Global Phenomenon
Do you have a best friend who is there for you 24/7 365? Well I'm sorry to break it to you - that's not really good enough. If your friend truly had your back, they would be there for you 24,0000006/7/365,242189! Quick trip down memory lane; George Washington was born on February 22nd 1732 - at least that's what we're told - however, his family Bible says he was born on February 11th 173(1/2) so which is it mister "I cannot tell a lie"? Don't even ask about 1752. 1752 looked pretty normal but what was the British Empire up to that year? Nothing really out of the ordinary, except in September - the 2nd was followed by the 14th. Strange. So what happened to the eleven days? Were they just deleted? what happened then leads us to question time and how the earth moves. Reconciling both of these things has led to some pretty strange things.

Unearthing Phenomenon's
Sometimes, when gazing at the moon, I wish I could throw a lasso around it and pull it a bit closer. Fortunately, for everyone on Earth, no one has crafted a lasso that's 384,000 km long - that is the approximate distance from the Moon. Aside from gravity and occasional lunar eclipses, it's challenging to imagine Earth having any influence on its distant partner. Surprisingly, though, the Earth is opening the door for chemical reactions to take place on the lunar surface, causing the Moon to rust.
