Earthquakes are a natural phenomenon known to all of us, and they are not unique to the earth. In theory, any planet with a solid crust can have an 'earthquake', and for the sake of distinction, we can call it a 'starquake'. The strength of a 'starshock' varies from planet to planet, so how terrible is the strongest known 'starshock'?

In the evolutionary history of human beings, the gradual increase in brain volume is an important marker

There is a view that the reason why the Earth looks round is because of the role of the Earth's oceans, which simply means that a large amount of seawater has "filled in" the undulations of the Earth's surface.

Although ultra-pure water does not exist in nature, humans can prepare it themselves

In the macroscopic world, the solar system is a system of celestial bodies centred on the sun, in which the vast majority of mass is concentrated and the major planets orbit the sun, while in the microscopic world, an atom is a microscopic system centred on the nucleus of an atom, in which the vast majority of mass is concentrated and electrons orbit the nucleus.

According to known exploration data, the deepest seabed on earth is the marianas trench, located at the bottom of the pacific ocean. The measurement data shows that the deepest part of the marianas trench can reach 11,034 meters, where the pressure is about 110 mpa, equivalent to 1.1 tons of weight per square centimeter. So the question arises, if you take a 100kg solid iron ball and sink it into the deepest part of the sea floor, will the iron ball be deformed by the pressure?

If someone asks the question, are humans alone in the universe? I believe that most people would answer in the negative. In fact, the scientific community also generally agrees that there are a large number of intelligent civilisations in the vast universe, some of which may even be far ahead of our civilisation, and in order to better describe the technological level of intelligent civilisations in the universe, scientists have also proposed the concept of "Cosmic civilisation levels".

In a good night sky, we can always see a sky full of stars and it seems to us that the whole universe is in full view. In fact, the stars we see in the night sky are only a tiny part of the milky way galaxy, which is just one of the trillions of galaxies that exist in the observable universe.

Earthquakes are a common natural phenomenon. On average, millions of earthquakes occur on Earth every year, except that most of them are so mild that they are largely imperceptible to humans.

Prehistoric civilization have always been the talk of the town, and it's no wonder - after all, humans have been around for so short a time in the history of the planet that if we were to compress the history of the planet into a single day, then humans would probably only appear in the last two minutes of that day. In the past, there have been frequent claims of the discovery of suspected prehistoric civilization, the most notable of which would be a two-billion-year-old nuclear reactor.
