60 ways the world will end.

Another biggest quest for man is to imagine and predict the end of the world or disappearance of the universe based on myths, scientific advances, fight for supremacy and so on.

Instead of living, man is constantly worried about dying and thereby dying everyday instead of only once. After all, are we not hearing such non-senses every now and then?

Do you know how many predictions are roaming the world about how the end will come to the world?

I think there may be around 60 different ways by which the the world will end and here some samples:
* Biological catastrophe
* Over Population
* Collapse of the ecology
* Negative energy cloud
* Total ice










aquiziam.com/ has compiled a list of 25 out of the 60 ways the world will end.
It throws an interesting read.

A strange sea foam in Sydney.

The scene above certainly does not look appealing, however the phenomenon was rare and bizarre.

What you see above is froth at a beach in Sydney in 2007. Yes, it is a very old story that caught my attention only yesterday.

The sea of foam was due to impurities in the ocean, such as salts, chemicals, dead plants, decomposed fish and excretions from seaweed. The foam even entered a few buildings near the beach. Yes, you can see that image in the source of this story.

The whole scene looks ugly as well as eerie!

The Red Rain phenomenon.

Rain that stained clothes in red color. See the rain water collected in buckets. This is for real folks. For nearly two months, red rain poured in Kerala, in the year 2001.

It all started on July 25th and lasted still September 23rd. The rain water was colored in red. And this is not the first time. It happened before in the year 1896.

When people were disturbed and wanted to know if there is anything mysterious about blood colored rain water, two people suggested that coloured particles were of extraterrestrial cells!

The Indian Government officials pointed to an alga for the red color.

More interesting pieces of information can be read in Wikipedia.

Fishes drop from the heaven.

A blog post by my friend Mrs. Aniyan Shanthy titled, "Raining Frogs and Fishes" aroused my interest immensely. Fishes and frogs come along with rain is a rare natural phenomenon that had occurred a few times in the past.

But how did they manage to go up in the first place is a question that will come to our mind immediately. Now, this gets interesting. The fishes and frogs are found alive on the ground. It seems nature has endowed them to withstand the impact of falling from the sky on the ground.

Now, to the mystery about how they were taken alive from the earth and dropped again alive on the earth along with with the rain-some tornadoes that are sometimes called 'waterspouts' life these creatures that also get carried away across the space due to wind.

I read about how these waterspouts are formed and what is the impact on environment in USA Today. It was quite eerie to me even to read and look at some of the pictures of waterspouts that formed over great water bodies.

The picture below shows Waterspouts off of Treasure Island, Fla.




















Here is a more eerie video clip of a Tornado.

Tap the power from volcanoes.

The vastly unexplored power source in the world is geo thermal-the heat that stays latent under the earth or inside the volcanoes.

It is not necessary for me to point out the potentiality of the power that can be tapped when a volcano erupts and spews thermal energy that can even burn an entire nation.

I am sure many scientists in the world would have contemplated on the idea of tapping geo thermal energy as an alternate source of power. Alaskan officials have invited companies to lease the rights to explore geothermal resources beneath Mount Spurr, a snowcapped 11,070-foot volcano that most recently erupted in 1992 showering much of Anchorage with volcanic ash.

Nearly 200 million acres can be powered by this alternate energy.

A monster voretx that concerns us.

Reading this news about the plastic pollution, I am taken aback by the enormity of the danger that is approaching all of us. I am sorry to sound ominous but the situation warrants an immediate global action.

The news is this:
"Plastic trash and other flotsam that is either directly thrown or washed by the rivers into the North Pacific is swept up by the currents of gigantic swirling vortex called the North Pacific Gyre. In the centre is a trash carpet that scientists calculate has reached the size of Texas".

The world is being built.

The World-is a group of islands being built in th shape of the world off Dubai coast.

Some 300 odd islands are being built for sale and almost 90% of the project is completed in record 4 years. Yes, they have started the construction in 2004.













The size of the islands range from 23k sq.M to 84k sq.M. The price range of the islands starts at US$15 M.

The islands are separated by 50 to 100 m of water.

The World is being built primarily using sand dredged from the sea. The World is the brainchild of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, ruler of Dubai. It is owned and is being constructed by Nakheel Properties (Nakheel Corp.)

It will be located 4.1 km off the shore of Jumeirah, close to Palm Jumeirah, between Burj Al Arab and Port Rashid of Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Meteor crash causes illness in Peru.

It was a Saturday and the time was a lazy afternoon.

Suddenly, the silence was broken by a loud explosion heard by the villagers near their remote village, located in the high Andes department of Puno in the Desaguadero region, near the border with Bolivia.

Initially, they thought an airplane crashed nearby. When the residents complained of headaches and vomiting brought on by a "strange odor," a few policemen went to check on the reports but it is reported that they too became ill and had to be given oxygen before being hospitalized.

It was later discovered that the explosion and the subsequent illness was a caused by a meteor crash. The meteorite left a 100-foot-wide and 20-foot-deep crater.
