How Christian Grey is Edward Cullen in Disguise
The Twilight Saga Books were a HUGE part of my early 20’s. I recall discovering Twilight and practically speed reading it in almost one sitting. Stephenie Meyer, the genius author of this series managed to create the plot line from a dream she’d had. It’s every young writer’s fairytale come true. The perfect book idea just gift wrapped to you while you’re sleeping! Sadly, we do not all have that kind of luck, but fortunately Stephenie did and through that dream she managed to create the captivating romantic tale of Bella Swan, a girl from Arizona who moves to Washington state, meets, and falls in love with a vampire named Edward Cullen.

Do "past lives" exist?
Past lives and reincarnation: what was once a hokey New Age theory is now a viral TikTok trend. Using a YouTube video to induce a state of hypnosis, TikTok users are emerging from their alleged hypnotic state with wild claims. Some say they discovered they “let the Trojan Horse in” during a battle in ancient Greece; others say their past lives were more recent, and that they died on 9/11 or caused the death of Princess Diana in 1997.

Chapter 1 of Junction
Mushrooms can grow under water and survive in space. If there was a species that could transverse neighbouring planets in the events of large impact events (such as the creation of the moon as is speculated) then mushrooms could certainly spread life in such a situation. Two such mushrooms noted to be able to survive space were tested by blasting them with unreasonably high doses of radiation. The Fungi “…Aspergillus and Penicillium… survived being blasted with 1’000 gray of X-ray radiation, 500 gray of heavy ions and large doses of UV radiation..” (Marta Cortesão -US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health).

Post-modern rock-pooling
Gazing into nature’s aquarium; a replica of the distant life in the ocean, rock pools show us a glimpse of the distant, marine world of crabs, shrimps and all manner of crustaceans jostling for life in their aquatic domain. But is the coast as far as they venture? The holidaying shores of the seaside may hold the classic rock-pool, but a similar crustacean abundance exists unknown beneath our dry, clad feet. Deep within our inland geology, a rich biodiversity of crustaceans is only yet beginning to be unearthed, living squeezed into the tiny nooks and crannies carved into the subterranean landscape.
