There was a time when the great southern landmass wasn’t just covered in ice-glaciers and penguins. It was filled with forests, flowers and all sorts of animal species. It even had a completely different climate. According to fossil records found below the ice-caps, the icy continent was once a very hot place. In fact, it got so warm that the climate became tropical, like the one we see today around the Equator. So, how did we end up here? Other videos you might like:

Australia and South America thrived 9:52 #greenantarctica #earthhistory #brightside SUMMARY:
-According to fossil records found below the ice-caps, the icy continent was once a very hot place. In fact, it got so warm that the climate became tropical, like the one we see today around the Equator. -About ½ mile below the seabed at Wilkes Land in Eastern Antarctica, scientists found fossils containing pollen from plants that only flourish in the tropical environments we see today.
-Around 100 million years back, the earth went through a massive long-lasting heatwave – scientifically known as the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum. During that time, the global average temperature increased. That resulted in changes to vegetation. -On Seymour Island, which is around the tip of the Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula, scientists discovered brood balls, a unique structure that dung beetles lay their eggs in.
-Notiolofos fed on tiny tree branches and saplings. Scientists discovered their diet by analyzing the animal’s teeth, which were relatively small in size. -Antarctodon belonged to an unusual group of now-extinct mammals. It lived in what we know now as Seymour Island. -Approximately 56 million years ago, South America began separating itself. 16 million years later, Australia and Antarctica began drifting apart in the sea. Between 36 to 23 million years back, another natural channel emerged – the Drake Passage.
-Towards the end of the Eocene and the beginning of Oligocene Period, global cooling started taking place. The temperatures dropped at high latitudes in both the Arctic Circle and Antarctica. -New DNA evidence shows that the oldest marsupial lived in South America 70 – 80 million years ago. It’s believed that they migrated from South America all the way to Antarctica and crossed over to Australia while they were still connected.

I’ll bet that you’ve heard about this theory that we only use 10% of our brain’s potential and if we could do more than that, we’d have superpowers, teleport and maybe time-travel. This is a century-old myth that got everyone hooked on the idea that if we had more knowledge, we could surpass Einstein. Neurologists have now disproven it, saying that on any given day, we’re able to use 100% of our brain. So, what would happen if we gained infinite knowledge? Let’s find out!

-The 10% myth was a misinterpretation of neurological research in the late 19th century. Neurologists have now disproven it, saying that on any given day, we’re able to use 100% of our brain.
-You’d know everything about every purchase you’ve made and everything in the world including small details and origins of things surrounding you. You’d also know everything about the life of other people. -Your brain is responsible for your sleep, your dreams, your appetite, and every move you make. Our knowledge capacity is colossal. If we had unlimited information, we could find a way to live forever. Or we could descend into chaos.
-One scenario is that you’ll regret it instantly. Another possibility is that you’ll feel superior to everyone else. The third possible outcome is that you’ll lose your humanity.
-Our feelings are based on the unknown. So if you know everything, it’d be impossible to experience them. You’d become an emotionless robot. -Your mind will select the data that’s important and delete the rest. That means you won’t know everything after all.
-Think of how your computer freezes when you import all the data at once. The same thing would happen to your mind.
-As the knowledge begins to make its way through your brain, the infinite electrons will create a gravitational pull and start to suck in everything around you. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

More What If You Knew Absolutely Everything in the World Videos

So get this: You’re doing some chores (or lazing around!), and you hear that unmistakable hissss. Uh Oh. “Is that a snake—in my HOUSE?” A snake may be looking for a cool damp spot to chill down—like a basement—or shelter from the rain so that it won’t destroy its nest. Remember the golden rule when it comes to wild animals: it’s more scared of you than you are of it. Guide the snake outside with a broom. If the “broom method” didn’t work, restrict its ability to move. Make sure any cracks, gaps, or holes around your home are sealed to prevent any future visits. Other videos you might like:

Step 7. Call Animal Control 6:19
Step 8. Try a DIY snake trap! 6:49
Step 9. Prevent any future visits. 7:24 #survivaltips #snakeinthehouse #brightside SUMMARY:
-Snakes are cold-blooded reptiles, which means their environment is what controls their body temperature.
-Along with the basement, snakes may try to hide in your walls, attic, and crawl spaces.
-If you’ve got those perfect conditions, a snake will build its nest in your home, and then you’ll have a big problem on your hands!
-Snakes found in houses are usually on the smaller side because they can wiggle their way in through small cracks, openings, and any “weak spots” in your home.
-In some places, snakes are part of daily life and are as common a pest as mice or mosquitoes.
-Remember the golden rule when it comes to wild animals: it’s more scared of you than you are of it.
-Pets and children are smaller than you are, and they move more unpredictably. This may agitate the legless home invader.
– Try to get a good look at it without disturbing it, and read about poisonous snakes that can be found in your area. -Set up “barriers” as best as you can to keep it in that one room, and open the door to the outside. Gently guide the snake through a path to the exit.
-Cover the snake with a big blanket or put a laundry hamper on top of it with the open side down.
-Hold the snake as securely as you can while keeping it away from your body. Get it outside and release it far from your property.
-Animal control will have special equipment to remove the snake safely. And give them a call if the snake is hiding, but you know it’s there.
-All you need is a plastic water bottle, scissors, and snake food.
-Make sure any cracks, gaps, or holes around your home are sealed. Check your attic, basement, and crawl spaces thoroughly because they might be easy to miss in these areas. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

More The Right Way to Catch a Snake in Your House Videos

Remember that nervous feeling on report card day as a kid? You spend all day with a racing mind wondering what grades you got. Straight As? Some Bs? Will Mom and Dad be mad about Cs and Ds? Or did I get any Fs?? Hold on…why isn’t there a grade E?? Well, the short answer is that F simply stands for “failure” on the grading scale since “failure” begins with the letter F. Teachers didn’t want E to be interpreted as “excellent” beyond primary school, as percentages come in when you’re in middle school, high school, and college. Poor lonely E!

-F simply stands for “failure” on the grading scale since “failure” begins with the letter F. Teachers didn’t want E to be interpreted as “excellent” beyond primary school, as percentages come in when you’re in middle school, high school, and college.
-The first school to use a grading scale model similar to our modern one was a school in Massachusetts called Mount Holyoke College, an all-women’s university. In 1887, their scale went from A to E. -The Standard Measurement System is still taught in schools, while the rest of the world uses the Metric System.
-Only about 20% of U.S. primary, junior, and high schools require uniforms.
-The U.S. school system starts with preschool, then kindergarten at the age of 5 and lasts till 12th grade at age 17 or 18.
-American students spend about 180 days a year in school.
-The original 13 American colonies opened The Boston Latin School, America’s first public school, in 1635.
-Early American schools didn’t teach subjects like reading or science; the early colonists wanted to teach their children more about family and community values.
-If parents want their child to “get ahead,” or just to acclimate them to a social learning situation, enrolling their child in pre-school at about 3 or 4 years old is considered ideal.
-About 85% of current jobs in the U.S., and 90% of new ones, require some college or post-secondary education.
-Most experienced U.S. teachers agree that field trips can and should be an integral part of a student’s education.
-Most schools offer football (the American kind), basketball, wresting, tennis, volleyball, softball, and baseball.
-Students and teachers often joke with each other, and exchange high-fives in the hallways.
-There will be differences in grading scales, testing requirements, class structure, rules…pretty much everything state to state. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

Hot cocoa, sledding down snow-covered hills, the cheer of the holiday season. Yeah, we all love this magical festive atmosphere, if… it happens in winter, not summer. But what if you found yourself staring at frozen streets during what should be the hottest time of the year? Sounds exactly like that: a fun “what if” thought experiment that’s purely hypothetical.

3 factors that caused it 5:46
Volcanoes are to blame 6:46
Volcanic ash is unusual 7:51 #nosummer #volcanoes #brightside SUMMARY:
-June 1816 felt more like January in Europe. Days went by, and the weather still hasn’t changed. Farmers across the continent are losing their harvest to frost and lack of sunshine. Cows can’t feed on fresh grass, so they can’t make milk. Snowstorms and blizzards could knock you over.
-The first prototype of the bicycle didn’t have pedals – you just had to kick your feet off the ground to use this “walking machine”.
-Lord Byron and Mary Shelley were in Switzerland at the moment. He wrote an apocalyptic poem called Darkness, and she came up with her novel Frankenstein.
-Hurricanes with hail, heavy downpours in the spring, frosts, and snow in the summer. Cornfields are frozen. Stocks of food are depleted in North America.
-Monsoons have wrecked the provinces. Heavy rains have flooded rice paddy, there’s frost and snow every night in China.
-Caribbean coast is still incredible! For the next 6 months, you can sunbathe and make a living on fishing.
-From 1795 to 1820, there was minimal sun activity. The temperature of the seas and oceans decreased as well because of that sun problem. Last but certainly not least, there was the main reason for the long long winter of 1816: volcanoes. -The temperature on the planet plummeted because of all the volcanoes that exploded one after another in 1812. Volcanic ash covered the sky with such a dense layer that it was able to block the sun's rays like a giant curtain over the sky.
-A volcano spews out a lot of chemical elements from the depths of our planet. And some of these elements are poisonous for living creatures and can cause acid rains. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

They’re looking for a job, any job for anybody!
-There's nobody inside now, but the place is ransacked. You can’t call the police because it doesn’t exist any more. -You walk out, dozens of people surround you. They offer you help in every form. Replacing wheels for apples, fixing bike chain for oil, and so on. -The stranger walks you to the last refuge for workaholics that pretend to be working out of habit. -People head to the countryside and live off the land, try to be self-sufficient. There is no more money. As for anything that resembles an economy, it’s based on trading goods and services. People start working for pleasure. -Self-driving cars, artificial intelligence replaces bank tellers, customer service representatives, IT specialists, even hotel receptionists – this becomes new reality.

More What if All People Lost Their Jobs? Videos

Cramped space, noise, annoying fellow passengers… That's what a typical flight looks like. But what if you had the whole plane just for yourself? Before you say that it's possible only for rich people who fly private jets, just listen to this… Sometimes airlines have to operate commercial flights with only one (in some cases 2 or 3) passenger. As you can guess, these lucky guys get a first-class experience for the price of an economy ticket. But why would airlines do so? Don’t such flights just make them lose money and it would be more logical to cancel them? Well, when they make a decision to fly an nearly empty plane, they have to take into consideration much more than headcount. Other videos you might like:

The longest non-stop passenger flight 5:45
The falling gold flight 6:32
The shortest scheduled passenger flight 7:19
The shortest international passenger flight 8:06 #emptyflights #flighttips #brightside SUMMARY:
-Most planes don’t just fly back and forth between two airports. An empty plane could rush from airport A to airport B where a full house of passengers is waiting to get to airport C by dinner.
-Airline crews use empty planes to reposition crew workers to the places where they’re needed.
-Maintenance is performed at pre-planned intervals, and a plane has to be at the right place and time. So canceling a flight just because it’s lightly booked can disrupt this intricate web.
-If the flight is under-booked, the cargo holds can be full.
-Airlines offer lower prices only for early bird seats. If they suddenly started selling cheaper tickets right before the departure just to fill an empty plane, it would compromise the proven pricing model.
-You have to fly 95 times and somewhere between your flight #96 and #100 you might hit the jackpot.
-If you see that the row you chose during booking looks full right before online check-in opens, make a switch to one that looks like it may be empty.
-Pick aisle and window seats when traveling with someone leaving the middle one vacant and hope that no one will choose it.
-On a freshly introduced route or a new airline having a lighter passenger load is highly likely since it usually takes some time for customers to grab those seats. -Packed planes are a typical thing for mega-hubs while smaller airports don't get sold-outs.
-In 2016, passengers on a Mexican flight noticed a green snake hanging from the overhead compartment.
-The flight from New York to Sydney takes 19 hours and 16 minutes.
-In 2018, a plane was taking off from Yakutsk in Russia when cargo made up of gold bars, gems, and precious metals started falling out right on the runway.
-In the Orkney Islands in Scotland, there are two airports, Westray and Papa Westray connected by a 2-minute flight. -It takes only 8 minutes to get from St. Gallen-Altenrhein in Switzerland to Friedrichshafen in Germany.

More Why Planes Fly With One Passenger on Board Videos

Over 17 million cars are sold every year, in every color imaginable … so, why are the tires always black? Is it to match the road? For that matter, why make the roads black? Why not pink or green? Today’s roads are usually made with a combination of asphalt, bitumen, and other petroleum products —a durable mixture that melts easily and spreads smoothly across a road’s surface. And …it’s naturally very dark. But what about tires? In the 1950’s Goodyear developed tires in many shades to match your car. Let’s find out! Other videos you might like:

-Today’s roads are usually made with a combination of asphalt, bitumen, and other petroleum products —a durable mixture that melts easily and spreads smoothly across a road’s surface and is naturally very dark. -Wheels weren’t always black. Chariot wheels could be shiny bronze. And donkey carts and covered wagons had wooden wheels—sometimes painted!
-Axles need to be strong and you don’t make anyone nervous by implying that your axle is anything other than steel.
-Some tires have white walls—where the natural rubber color is left alone, or even brightened up, with zinc oxide.
-Older cars were often two toned. Colorful cars bloomed all through the 1920’s but light and bright colors made the paint even more expensive. When the stock market crashed, people went back to durable colors. -Tires do have a lot of safety features: no-slip tread prevents skidding, snow-tires prevent sledding, and run-flat tires let you drive to repair shop after you drive over a spike. -In the 1950’s Goodyear developed tires in many shades to match your car.
