WHERE? The first crop circle, recorded in 1966, was discovered by an Australian sugar cane farmer who claimed to see a flying saucer spaceship rise up from a swamp before flying away.
WHAT'S THE STORY? Early crop circles were primitive circular patterns of flattened crops, often created in mysterious circumstances overnight, and attributed to aliens. They began at a time when flying saucers were hugely popular in sci-fi literature and movies. Over the decades, crop circles have evolved to be increasingly complex. Today, they appear in the form geometric shapes like the DNA double helix, or fractals like the nautilus shell.
CROP CIRCLES EXPLAINED. The most compelling aspect of crop circles is their complexity and the speed at which they appear.
Fame, as they say, is fickle. It may take years to reap it and, when you do, you may not have the time to enjoy the fruits of your labor. This was the case for Confucius, an ancient Chinese philosopher whose ideas still resonate today.

Kong Qiu, or Master Kong as he was known, did not live to see his days of glory. During his lifetime, his views were received with scorn. But that was about 2,500 years ago.

The idea that there are humans on Earth with ‘superhuman’ abilities is something that many of us consider exclusive to Hollywood movies.

According to a new study, the universe we reside in could be abruptly destroyed in a cataclysmic collision with a bubble of ‘negative energy’ say, Harvard scientists, warning that this process may have even already begun without us even noticing.
Scientists explain how a fundamental particle that gives mass to all mater held within the universe could one day cause its destruction.
Astrophysicists warn that our universe may be abruptly destroyed, as it started in a bubble of negative energy, thought to have been created by the Higgins Boson, aka the God Particle. The famous Higgs boson particle, discovered in 2012 after more than fifty years of scientific persecution, has the power to end the existence of the Universe in which we live.
Not only that, but the process could have already started without us even noticing it.
Called Tsé Bitʼaʼí or “the rock with wings,” Navajo Legends tell how Shiprock was a piece of land that became a bird, carrying the ancestral people of the Navajo on its back.
