RECALLING THE INFINITY WAR

Image
Having acquired the Power Stone, one of the six Infinity Stones, from the planet Xandar, Thanos and his lieutenants—Ebony Maw, Cull Obsidian, Proxima Midnight, and Corvus Glaive—intercept the spaceship carrying the survivors of Asgard's recent destruction. As they extract the Space Stone from the Tesseract, Thanos subdues Thor, overpowers Hulk, and kills Loki. Thanos also kills Heimdall after he sends Hulk to Earth using the Bifröst. Thanos and his lieutenants leave, destroying the ship. Hulk crash-lands in the Sanctum Sanctorum in New York City, reverting to the form of Bruce Banner. He warns Stephen Strange and Wong about Thanos' plan to destroy half of all life in the universe, and they recruit Tony Stark. Maw and Obsidian arrive to retrieve the Time Stone from Strange, drawing Peter Parker's attention. Maw is unable to take the Time Stone due to an enchantment and captures Strange instead. Stark and Parker sneak aboard Maw's spaceship while Wong stays be...

FANTASY IN REAL WORLD #SUPERHEROES

Most Smartest Superheroes: Glance A sharp mind is one of the more potent tools to have against the forces of darkness. It is often more crucial to out-think an enemy than to out-punch them, a lesson that stronger heroes, such as Hulk and Thor, often have to learn the hard way. Many superheroes were scientific geniuses back in the 1960s who produced superpowers through exposure to whatever exotic materials they happened to work with, starting with the brilliant theme, costumed crime-fighters. Other gifted, good guys only make a lovely new suit for themselves or develop their superpowers. The idea of people using their smarts to solve crimes, of course, predates this pattern by decades. Still, eventually, we’ll get to that. Oracle aka Barbara Gordon aka BatGirl Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) will do whatever Batman can do too. She looks great doing it also. Although the caped crusader is undoubtedly one of DC’s sharpest minds, his protégé has just as much used brains ov...

A MYSTERIOUS LAKE

Image
Is cultural immersion important to you when you travel? With tales of a python god and crocodile-infested waters that are safe to swim in, Venda's Lake Fundudzi is a fascinating place to visit and a prime example of South Africa's cultural wealth and beauty, and just one of the gems we discovered on our Ultimate South African Road Trip. My post regarding  " A mysterious lake in the world" ,  appeared  first on NewsCrab. There are many dangerous lakes in the world, whose secret has not been known to date. A similar dangerous lake is in Limpopo province of South Africa, which is known as Lake Funduji . It is believed that anyone who drank the water of this lake does not survive. He soon dies. According to locals, a leper passing through ancient times was refused food and shelter by the people living here, after which he cursed those people and entered the lake and disappeared. It is said that the sounds of drums, animals, and people's screams are heard f...

THE CRYPTIC BLACK HOLE

Image
So there you are, about to leap into a black hole. What could await should — against all odds — you somehow survive? Where would you end up and what tantalizing tales would you be able to regale if you managed to clamber your way back? The simple answer to all of these questions is, as Professor Richard Massey explains, "Who knows?" As a Royal Society research fellow at the Institute for Computational Cosmology at Durham University, Massey is fully aware that the paradoxes of black holes run deep. A  black hole  is a region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing—no particles or even electromagnetic radiation such as light—can escape from it. The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass can deform spacetime to form a  black hole . "Falling through an event horizon is passing beyond the veil — once someone falls past it, nobody could ever send a message back," he said. "They'd be ripped to pieces by the ...
