Red Dead Redemption Game

Red dead Redemption is one of the most popular games of all time. Did you know it was nearly abandoned; When Rockstar games was developing red dead redemption, there was so many bugs in the code that the game seemed unfixable and the development team were considering whether they should abandon the project. In forums and press interviews, they claimed they had made the game too complicated and caused software bugs to emerge. 

The game is so advanced that the animals in the desert hunt other animals in real time without user input. Sometimes you can witness a deer being hunted by a bear or wolves hunting a rabbit. 

There is also many hidden things in the game and if you just want to play you can always go to a bar in the game and play blackjack or layers dice.

The Smallest seed that we know of is from the Orchid flowers that are often sold in supermarkets and florists. Their seeds are so small that they resemble dust. They are so small that the need a fungus partner to get them growing because they won't germinate on their own. You need a microscope to see the individual seedlings.

Tree Net

Trees have been known to communicate with other trees through their roots. They relay information about the conditions in the soil like having too many pests or poor sunlight. 

I thought they just log on 😂. The floor of a forest or the woods is a communication network for trees and bushes. 

New Encyclopedia

There is a new encyclopedia created that was written by artificial intelligence. It is called Grokipedia. It was created by Elon Musk's ai company xAI. 

You can visit the Grok ai now at https://grokipedia.com/

Grok ai does it's own research and searches for the truth. It is a machine, it isn't biased, it doesn't have opinions about things or people so it only wants to display the truth. 

I have already created a shortcut to it on my Android desktop. 

The online encyclopedia Wikipedia has had issues with biased authors recently, politicians and activists being labelled as far right and statements about companies that aren't true. Even historical events being changed to suit the opinion of the editors. 

When I tried Grokipedia, it was dark like a dos prompt screen so I changed it to light mode. 

Roman Urine

In the Roman Empire, Urine was very useful. It was used to prepare leather, clean clothes and Brush teeth. 

It was so useful that it was taxed when used for commercial purposes. 

That takes the piss.

Most Toilets

The sports venue or building with the most toilets is wembley stadium. It has 2618 Toilets, more than any other stadium in the world. 

It also has one of the largest cantilever roofs in the world. This allows the spectators to view the pitch without being obstructed by the pillars. 

Stegasaurus and Tyrannosaurs Rex

The stegasaurus and Tyrannosaurs Rex never met because the stegasaurus went extinct in the Jurassic period and the Tyrannosaurs  Rex was around in the Cretaceous period. When the Tyrannosaurs Rex was around, the Stegasaurus was extinct for 80 million years. 

We are closer in time to Tyrannosaurs Rex than the Tyrannosaurs Rex was to stegasaurus. The Gap between Us and Tyrannosaurs Rex was 66 million years. The Gap Between Tyrannosaurus rex and stegasaurus is 80 million years. 

In the movie Jurassic park, Tyrannosaurs Rex didn't belong there because it wasn't from that time period.

Before the Dinosaurs

Before the Dinosaurs were around on Earth, the dominant group of Animals that roamed the earth were the  Permian Synapsids. They were bizarre looking mamal like reptiles. Some of them had spines on their back. 

If you saw a Permian Synapsid, you would see a creature that looks both like reptile and a mamal at the same time. 

It is thought they went extinct because of frivalous volcanism, or several super volcanoes erupting in tandem. The food chain was wipe out by acid rain and cold weather because of dust from the volcanoes.

Giant Sloth

The closest being we have to king king Kong is the Megatherium, the giant sloth. It was a type of sloth that was able to grow 6 meters tall and weighed about 4 tones. It spent most of its life walking on all 4 limbs but was able to stand up on two legs to reach higher parts of the tree to eat, or to intimate predictors or other sloths. 

It was native to south America and went extinct about 10,000 years ago.

Largest Lizard

The largest species of lizard to ever exist as far as we know is the Magalania, it was native to Australia, and went extinct 40,000 years ago, about the same time humans settled there. 

It grew to about 7 meters long and weighed roughly 500 kg. There is no evidence that it ate people but many experts think it likely did eat people . There is also evidence that people are the reason it went extinct. 

It belonged to the same family as the Komodo Dragon and looked a lot like a monitor lizard only much bigger.

Largest Flying bird

The largest flying bird to ever exist as far as we know is the Argentavis magnificens, they were loosely related to Eagles but belonged to their own group. They were known to stand as tall as an adult human and have a wingspan of 8 meters. 

They were a predator and probably hunted other birds and mammals. If you saw one flying today, it would look like a paraglider or a small airplane. The family group they were a part of is Teratornithidae, they were a group of large eagle like birds that lived in south America.

The Sandy Drowning Theory

There is a well known fan theory associated with the musical movie titled 'Greace'. They think the whole movie is an hallucination of Sandies brain caused by her drowning. 

In the theory, Dan doesn't save her from drowning in the beginning of the movie, that was an hallucination along with all the other scenes in the movie up to the point when they're in a car and it starts to fly to heaven. 

The flying car scene in the theory would be when her oxygen starved brain finally shuts down. It is quite a grim concept and it makes the whole movie hard to view a second time. It adds a grim lens to an otherwise upbeat movie.

Largest Ever Flying Animal

The Largest flying animal to ever exist as far as we know is the Quetzalcoatlus northropi, it was a type of pterosaur. It went extinct at end of the late Cretaceous period, the end of the dinosaur era. It was huge, the creature is thought to weigh about 250 kg and stood about 5 or 6 meters tall when not flying; as tall as a giraffe. 

It not fully understood how they were able to fly but it is thought they would use a spring like muscle contraction to launch itself into the air. The 10 to 11 meter long wingspan would have helped it to stay airborne. 

If it existed today, it would likely be mistaken for a small airplane because of its size.

One Cell Multi Cell

If you ever wondered if there is a life form that lives as a single cell but also can be a multi cell organism, there is one, it's called Dictyostelium discoideum. 

It is an amoeba (ameba) that lives as a single celled being that consumes bacteria but when there isn't much to eat, individual cells will join together to form a multicellular being (a bit like power rangers when all their robot parts join together). When they are all joined together they can combine their movement to crawl large distances compared to their size. They behave more like a worm or slug than a cellular life form when they are one.

Giant Cell

There is a giant single cell life form that lives at the bottom of the ocean called a Xenophyophorea. They are so big that they can be picked up by hand. They use sediments in the ocean to build their shells known as tests. They live by gathering small particles of other life forms like algi the drift down from the ocean above them. 

Some of these single celled life forms can reach the size of 20cm across, about the size of a football. Although they are one cell they usually have more than one nucleus.

Black holes

It is believed that all objects with mass can become black holes as long as their radius is reduced to a certain size, even individual particles can become black holes. In a book written by professor Brian Cox it pointed out that if the Earth were compressed into the size of a pepple, a few centimetres across, it would be a black hole. 

The same book pointed out that gravity is the weakest force, a small magnet can pull a metal object away from the Earth, but it has no limits, it keeps increasing with mass and can be focused into a small space and cause a sphere around itself with an escape velocity that is higher than the speed of light. In other words, even light can't escape the gravity of a black hole if it gets too close. They call the space where light can't escape the event horizon. 

Movie Facts

In the book that the movie 'The thing 1982' is based on titled  'who goes there' by John Campbell. There are some key attributes of the alien creature that was not revealed in the movie. 

Firstly, the organism doesn't need to eat or breathe because it can harness cold fusion in its cells, they split water molecules and merge the two hydrogen atoms together to make helium and lots of energy.  

Secondly, Dr Blair believed it has a default form and was likely artificially created to spread an alien civilization around the universe. When they found the creature it had three red eyes and tendrils in its head and Dr Blair came to the conclusion that when it had finish assimilating all the life forms it would return to its default form, unless it needed adaptations to survive. 

Thirdly, the creature is telepathic and as it thawed out in the book, it would mess with the minds of the crew and it knew what they were all going to do. They couldn't hide anything from it.

James Webb's New Friend

When they Launched the James Webb Space telescope it had a priority problem. It can only look at a very tiny fraction of the sky at a time and it is difficult to choose what places are more important than others. 

For this reason they sent up the Pandora Space Telescope, it will mostly look at stars when one of their planets transitions between the star and us. The probe will try to separate  the light from the planets atmosphere and the star and detect if there is something interesting there like clouds or oxygen. If the probe finds something interesting then the James Webb space telescope will take over and have a closer look.

The pandora probe is very small, about the size of a washing machine and the rocket bay that took it up had extra space so they added two other small cube satellites, sparks and balckcat, they're about the size of a serial box and would fit in a shopping bag.

What Trees Are Made of

Almost all of a tree's mass comes from the air. The tree will take carbon dioxide from the air and water; it will use solar energy to split the water molecules and combine them to the carbon atoms freed from the carbon dioxide and release the oxygen as a waste product. 

The root of a tree doesn't use anything in the soil except some nitrate compounds but they are almost nothing. Using air water and sunlight, a tree self assembles into a giant wooden structure that towers over all the animals.
