There is a creature on Earth that will survive any apocalypse

This is what an earthling looks like who can endure any hardships and hardships.

Man is a gentle creature. Capable of disappearing from the face of the Earth from any misfortune. And very soon. What needs to happen for our planet to become completely uninhabitable? So that there is no one left on it at all - not a single living creature. American physicists - Dr Rafael Alves Batista and Dr David Sloan from Oxford University - tried to find the answer to this fundamental question of existence.

Before thinking about the eternal, scientists have identified the most tenacious creature on Earth. And with impeccable logic they assumed: it would be the last to die. Next, physicists figured out what kind of cataclysms could create conditions under which the record holder for survival would still not be able to bear the surging hardships. And it turned out: there are no such cataclysms, nothing can make our planet sterile.

The most enduring creature on Earth was discovered a long time ago - back in 1773. The first to see and describe it was the German pastor and part-time zoologist Johann August Ephraim Goetze. He dubbed it a water bear. Later the creature received the name Tardigrada or, scientifically speaking, Tardigrada. However, his supernatural abilities became known only recently - as a result of scientific experiments.

The tardigrade, also known as the water bear, is considered the most resilient creature on Earth. And maybe throughout the entire Universe.

Tardigrades are microscopic invertebrates close to arthropods. The size of adult individuals is approximately one and a half millimeters. The body is translucent and consists of four segments. Legs - 8. A tenth of all tardigrades live in sea ​​water. Most are found in mosses, lichens, trees, rocks, and walls. They can be found in the mountains at an altitude of 6 thousand meters and on the seabed at depths of more than 4 thousand meters, in hot springs and in ice. They feed on algae, mosses, lichens, and worms. Externally they look like bears. This is why they got their name - water bear.

It is believed that tardigrades appeared on Earth approximately 530 million years ago.

Science now knows that tardigrades do not die even in liquid helium. Some experimental subjects endured 8 hours at a temperature of minus 271 degrees Celsius. And they stayed in liquid oxygen - at minus 193 degrees - for 20 months without harm to themselves. And vice versa, the tardigrades were boiled - nothing was done to them.

Water bears tolerate a radiation dose of 570 thousand roentgens. For humans, 500 roentgens are lethal.

In 2007, Swedish scientists sent tardigrades into orbit as part of the European Space Agency's FOTON-M3 mission. They put them into outer space. After 10 days they returned to Earth. Almost everyone survived.

It turns out that water bears can easily survive both a nuclear war and global warming any strength, and the most severe ice age, even with cosmic cold. And even the disappearance of the atmosphere will not chill them to death.

However, it is still possible to lime tardigrades. According to Sloan and Batista, sooner or later they will come to an end, if, as a result of some cataclysm, all the water on Earth suddenly evaporates. And this, as scientists believe, can happen in three cases: if a supernova explodes nearby, if an asteroid the size of the one that the heroes of the film “The Fifth Element” confronted crashes into our planet, and if the Earth is hit by a gamma-ray flare.

Sloan and Batista calculated that it takes about 10 to the 26th joules of energy to evaporate water. Supernova explosions produce an average of 10 to 44 joules. Enough for the complete end of the world, but only if the outbreak is close. After all, the energy of such a cataclysm is dissipated in space. For example, if the distance from the explosion to the Earth is more than 5 light days, then it will be of no use. In the sense that the explosion will not destroy the tardigrades.

A supernova explosion will not bring the end of the world to Earth.

And there are no stars at such a distance from us at all. The closest ones are about 4 light years away. And they are not going to explode.

Scientists from Oxford have counted 17 asteroids, a collision with which could put an end to water bears. But the probability that at least one of them will happen was vanishingly small. It takes 10 to the 17th power of years for a 100-kilometer asteroid to crash into our planet. The lifetime of the Universe is not enough to wait.

There is no cosmic body that would kill water bears.

The sources of gamma-ray bursts are collapsing, rapidly rotating massive stars. As they transform into neutron stars, quarks or black holes, they emit a narrow beam of unprecedented power. And at the same time, in a few seconds they release as much energy as our Sun would release in 10 billion years of glow.

Sloan and Batista calculated: a gamma-ray burst that occurs closer than 42 light years from Earth will be absolutely unbearable - it will evaporate the oceans and kill tardigrades. But there are no sources of such destructive radiation in this radius.

Gamma-ray bursts, which still sparkle in other galaxies, are not scary for tardigrades.

The result of the reasoning of American scientists, published in the publication Scientific Reports: there will be no end of the world - at least not soon. Tardigrades may well survive until the time when the Sun expands, turning into a red giant. According to various estimates, this will happen no earlier than in a billion years, or even 5 billion years will have to wait. But this is not the end of the water bears. The swelling Sun will, of course, engulf Mercury and Venus. And the Earth may survive, moving into a more distant orbit. And will save water with tardigrades. In the Universe there seem to be examples of such an amazing salvation of planets whose star turned into a red giant. And it - salvation - gives tardigrades about 5 more billion years of existence.

According to one hypothesis, tardigrades were brought to Earth from space.

BY THE WAY

Seek and you will find

Research by Oxford University scientists should provide encouragement to those searching for extraterrestrial life. Because they testify: even the most seemingly unfavourable conditions on some planet does not mean that there is no life there. Maybe there is - in the form of sleeping water bears. It is known that in an unfavorable environment, these creatures fall into a special type of anabiosis - the so-called anhydrobiosis. They dry themselves by drawing their limbs in and becoming covered with a waxy shell that prevents evaporation.

The scientific literature describes a case where researchers soaked moss that had been dried 120 years ago in water. And after some time, the awakened tardigrades crawled out of it.

Who knows, maybe it’s worth soaking the Martian soil. And wait until someone crawls out of it - like a tardigrade. Or vice versa, it is worth melting the local ice - water bears are able to sleep frozen for a very long time. And then come to life.

Scientists: The world will never end. There is a creature on Earth that will survive any apocalypse

When asked about the Apocalypse by one of the spectators of his speech, the great mystic of the twentieth century, Wolf Messing, replied that the end of the world as you imagine it will not happen. And Messing, as all those close to him say, was never wrong in his predictions.

Spiritual World Leader - Russia

Physicist Alexander Lazarev managed to decipher all the predictions of Nostradamus, who also speaks about the Apocalypse in a completely different way than the average person imagines it. According to the scientist, the medieval prophet clearly described what awaits us at the turn of the millennium. All these prophecies were encrypted, and so delicately that their meaning is revealed to humanity at the right time, perhaps in the right place, that is, it is no coincidence that now and precisely in Russia - a country to which the prophet himself paid great attention, calling it spiritual at that time Tartaria.

According to the predictions of Nostradamus, says Professor Lazarev, during the transitional period of changing eras (from Pisces to Aquarius), the Earth will be transformed: the continents will change, the climate will change, the poles will change, humanity, as sad as it is to realize, is waiting for another World War. The peak of all these cataclysms will occur in 2055-2066. But all changes will be for the better, humanity will enter an era of amazing discoveries and the highest spirituality.

As all other famous prophets, such as Vanga, Edgar Cayce and some others, predicted, Russia will become the spiritual leader in the new world, and the Apocalypse itself will be a kind of cleansing, a certain filtering of the souls of earthlings, after which not all people will end up in the new spiritual world. For the rest, whose souls are clouded by hatred, self-interest and evil thoughts, a completely different reality awaits - a more painful and joyless parallel world. But everyone still has time to choose where and with whom to go...

New prophets

In the documentary project “Star Whispers” you will find many more interesting prophecies, and you will even discover new names of clairvoyants that few have heard of. For example, about Lev Fedotov. This young man, who lived in Moscow in the famous “House on the Embankment” before the Great Patriotic War, in his notebooks “History of the Future” described in detail not only when this terrible massacre for Russia began and ended, but also all its military events.

Lev Fedotov volunteered for the front, despite pulmonary tuberculosis, and died in July 1943 near Tula. In the notebooks, many other entries are also interesting for us, for example, that in the USA, over time, blacks will become equal to whites, and even the first black president of America will be elected. However, this president will suffer the same fate as Abraham Lincoln and John Kennedy. After this assassination, the United States will plunge into chaos and anarchy.

The clairvoyant Fedotov, unfortunately, did not indicate the exact date of the assassination attempt on the “black president,” so one can only guess when all this will happen. But the murder of Ukrainian President Poroshenko by one elderly Moldovan fortuneteller has been accurately determined - August of this year, so it is easy and even very soon to see how true such prophecies are.

By the way, the proposed documentary project expresses a very interesting idea that prophecies are only warnings, and not some obligatory events of the future, and if they do not come true, it means that the people who heard them were able to change something in their lives , and therefore - in fate. I wonder if Poroshenko received his grandmother’s warning? Apparently, it’s unlikely: nothing has changed for the better in Ukraine yet, rather the opposite...

In Guatemala, in a town called La Corona, archaeologists discovered one of the most extensive inscriptions in the Mayan language, which is about 1,300 years old. It contains the second known mention, after the Tortuguero inscription, of the so-called date of the end of times, which, according to the Gregorian calendar, corresponds to the beginning of the third ten days of December 2012.

With the date of the “end of the world” approaching according to the Mayan calendar, the history of this people raises all more interest in the world. The civilization of this people appeared in the first centuries of our era, and disappeared with the advent of the Spaniards in the 16th century. However, the Mayan people themselves still live in the territories of Mesoamerica, and their number is estimated at more than 6 million people. For Mayan-speaking citizens in Mexico and Guatemala, there are radio and cable television programs.

The Mayans were a common early civilization, a society organized into city-states. The peak of their heyday occurred in the 6th–9th centuries - the Mayans had magnificent architecture - they built cities, palaces, pyramids with temples from stone, erected steles in front of the buildings, on which they recorded historical dates, and celebrated changes of rulers. The most striking feature of the Mayan culture was their writing, and they are the only American civilization that had a phonetic writing system.

Mayan exploration began in late XIX century. Basically, archaeological excavations of cities were carried out, and based on the excavations, scientists tried to draw conclusions about the Mayan culture and way of life by analogy with what is known about Egypt, Greece, and Rome. However, a completely different perception of the world does not allow us to approach Mayan writings from the same point of view as European historical documents. Compared to European civilizations, the Mayans describe the world completely differently. They approach the same phenomena with other images, other concepts, other systems of gods.

“The end of the world” according to the Mayan calendar, which is supposed to happen on December 23 of this year, which some people who sincerely believe in prophecies are awaiting with trepidation, does not at all mean the end of the life of our civilization. In fact, unlike European ones, Mayan astronomers identified not 12, but 13 zodiacal constellations. Each of them corresponded to 13 gods, and the worship of each of them began according to the movement of the Sun. The completion of one of these large cycles will occur on December 23, 2012, and, according to Mayan beliefs, then the circle of reign of all deities will end, that is, a new era will begin.

The document on the basis of which hysteria about the end of the world was raised was found in the state of Tabasco, the town of Elz Tortuguero. However, the modern Mayans living there do not believe in the end of the world. At present, Indians are very poor people, concerned about economic issues. The myth of the end of the world is interesting to them from the point of view of attracting thrill-seeking tourists.
