The Winter Solstice is the day when night time is the longest of the year in the northern hemisphere, and the day when night time is shortest in the southern hemisphere. Origin of the Winter Solstice Due to geographical location as well as cultural interference over the years, the Vietnamese Winter Solstice is similar to the Chinese Winter Solstice, both originating from the agricultural calendar (or Lunar Calendar). Based on the operation of the Sun, Moon and stars in the sky combined with the law of Yin and Yang, the ancients realized that in a year we have 4 seasons:…
In 1934, G. Warren Shufelt told the Los Angeles Times that he had discovered the ruins of an ancient reptilian civilization beneath Los Angeles, USA. Deep in the heart of Los Angeles’ financial district, hundreds of feet below the massive downtown buildings that house banks and corporate offices, lies another city remembered only in legends. American urbanism, an underground world built by a strange race that disappeared thousands of years ago. At least that’s what mining engineer G. Warren Shufelt claimed in the Los Angeles Times on January 29, 1934. According to journalist Jean Bosquet, Shufelt was digging in downtown Los Angeles in search…
A mystery that has puzzled scientists for more than a century: in the geological record, large chunks of the Earth’s crust are missing, and where is it? Using satellite imaging technology taken from space, scientists recently discovered that part of the Earth’s crust disappeared due to severe glacial erosion . Regarding the current location of the missing rocks, scientists believe they were swept out to sea, according to news site Indy100 .

This event occurred during a period known as “snowball Earth”, when almost the entire planet was covered with…
There are few things as frustrating as tossing and turning without being able to sleep, especially if you have a big day coming up and need a break. In a recent YouTube video, Dr. Jo, a physiotherapist, demonstrated a simple breathing exercise that can help you fall asleep quickly and comfortably, instead of tossing and turning for hours. in bed, staring at the ceiling or counting sheep. Dr. Jo calls this the 4-7-8 technique , and it involves inhaling for 4 seconds, holding that breath for 7 seconds, and then exhaling for 8 seconds. You should lie on your back while performing…
Garbage in your eyes is a precious treasure in the eyes of others. In China, there have been countless antiquities, even national treasures, scattered in the folk, considered garbage and waste. Garbage in your eyes is a precious treasure in the eyes of others. This saying is very suitable for use in the world of archeology and preservation of cultural relics. In China, there used to be countless antiques, even national treasures, scattered among the people, considered trash and waste. But by some lucky coincidence, they were discovered, kept and preserved. The following national treasures are examples of the arduous process of returning…
Scientists think that this device possesses a very complex structure, which can track the Sun and Moon . Researchers have determined that this type of calendar is a manual running time measuring instrument. It uses a self-winding system to keep track of the Sun, Moon and even planetary times. Due to tracking the Moon, it also acts as a calendar to calculate the periods of this moon and the duration of eclipses. It is a very complex piece of technology that makes scientists “rub their heads”. According to Fox News, the ancient Antikythera Mechanism machine was the world’s first “computer”, recovered from a shipwreck off the coast…
On June 7, scientists announced the results of research on primitive steroids to solve the long-standing mystery of how the first complex life forms evolved. Primordial steroids discovered in 1.6 billion-year-old rocks could help scientists solve the age-old mystery of the evolution of single-celled life . These compounds are produced by eukaryotes, i.e. cells with nuclei and internal organelles enclosed by membranes. Modern eukaryotes include plants, fungi, and animals. In contrast, prokaryotes – bacteria and archaea – lack these characteristics. Based on molecular data, researchers know that single-celled eukaryotes first evolved at least 2 billion years ago, but there is little fossil record of their earliest days.…
Flies can cause many annoyances to daily life. But in terms of science, they really have created an extraordinary revolution. Like mosquitoes, flies belong to the order Diptera – a group of two-winged insects – and are known for more harm than good. However, we should not judge these insects solely because of their negative behavior. A fruit fly perched on a banana. (Image: Wikimedia Commons). In the book ” The Secret Life of Flies “, author Erica McAlister – British entomologist, appreciates the role of flies in nature. “Imagine a world without flies to decompose animal carcasses,” she wrote . Fruit flies (Scientific name: drosophila melanogaster) were…
