FAQ
What is the most mysterious place on earth?
Antarctica is considered the most mysterious area on Earth.
Why do we find this place so intriguing? Because it is unlike any place on Earth.
It is difficult to access because it is remote and extremely isolated. It is not what you see.
Some of the most bizarre wildlife species can also be found in this natural wonder.
Let's look at how this extraordinary destination became so mysterious.
Antarctica: The South Pole
Antarctica is not known by anyone. Some believe it is "land of the ice". Others believe it derives from Greek mythology.
Antarktis was an ancient Greek name that was given to the island where Zeus and his twin brothers, Zeus. According to legend, one twin was born in winter. Therefore, the name antarctic.
Others think the name came from the Greek words anti, meaning against, and tropos meaning turn. This would mean land turned away from the sun.
Whatever the reason, Antarctica has always held a special fascination for people.
It is also the lowest, windiest continent, driest, and highest. There are no trees, plants, or animals here because it is too cold.
And yet, this frozen wasteland is teeming with life.
It is home to approximately 90 percent of all life on Earth. You can find approximately half the world's species of animal and plant plants here.
And what makes Antarctica such a unique environment? Here, water is frozen into ice rather than vaporizing into the air.
This causes large amounts of ice to float above ground.
These glaciers cover more than 80% of the continent. They continue to grow in size each year.
The Antarctic ice sheet has grown 60ft since 1960.
The sea level could rise to 200 feet if the melting continues. This could lead worldwide flooding.
But not everyone thinks this is bad news. Some scientists believe that global warming can be beneficial. According to scientists, global warming could be good for us because the melting of the ice sheets will accelerate, which can lead to floods that release toxic chemicals into our soil and bodies.
Others, however, warn that this theory sounds almost like a plot for a science fiction film.
How does your brain control your body's functions?
To ensure that they work together, messages are sent by the brain to other organs. Everything that happens within your body is controlled by the brain. It tells both your stomach and lungs what to do; it also controls your legs and arms.
Your brain consists of billions of nerve cells connected in groups called neurons. Action potentials, which are electrical signals sent by neurons to each other via axons, allow them to communicate with one another. Each neuron is covered by a cell membrane. Channels within the membrane allow ions such potassium and sodium to enter and leave the cells. The neuron is lit by an electric charge created by the movement of ions.
Neurotransmitters, which are chemicals that release neurotransmitters when a neuron fires up, can be found in the space between the neurons and the next one. Neurotransmitters attach to the receptors of the second neuron and open ions channels for ions to pass in and out. This causes the second neuron to fire too.
Neurotransmitter releases occur when a presynaptic neurons receives an input from another neuron. The impulse travels along an synapse between the neurons. The transmitter binds directly to the receptors in the postsynaptic nervous neuron, and triggers the firing.
Neurotransmitters are important for communication within the nervous system. They are also responsible for coordinating activity between various parts of the brain.
Why do actors get blacklisted in the first place?
An actor is more likely to get rejected than a writer. Actors are likely to be rejected often. However, it doesn't really matter as you will eventually meet someone who is truly your love.
Actors have a lot of talent, so they can make a decent living almost anywhere. Actors don't really care about making money. Actors enjoy acting and telling stories. If you are an actor, you will most likely put yourself out there.
Even worse, you might be told you are too young or too old to play the part. Sometimes, you may lose an audition for a movie. This happens all the time.
You may be criticised once your casting is complete. Many people will tell you you look horrible or that you shouldn't be wearing make-up. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.
Sometimes your character isn't real or authentic and you will be criticised. You might play a gay man and everyone assumes that you are straight. Or maybe you play a woman who is supposed to be tough, but she cries a lot.
You might be asked to change the sound of your voice. Sometimes, they want you to sound more like a man or a woman. They will usually ask you to sound better.
These criticisms should be ignored. Actors can feel like they have failed when they are told they did something wrong. The truth is they haven’t done anything wrong.
They weren't born with a talent that made them famous. They may not fit the bill sometimes, no mater how hard they try.
Blacklisting an actor could be for many reasons. Some people don't like actors. Others think that actors are lazy. Others think actors are lazy.
No matter what the reason, you won't be blacklisted if your persistence persists. There are many jobs out there and you'll be able to find them.
You'll succeed as long as you keep trying.
What is the most secretive town in the world?
It may surprise you to hear the answer. It might even make you uncomfortable because it challenges our perception of reality and how we live. There is a reason this place exists and it's not as you might expect.
The City of God was its name by the ancient Greeks. In the Bible, it was known as the City of Destruction.
It is called Kashi (Kashmir in India). It is called Novgorod (Russia).
However, in America it is called The Town that Disappeared.
A small community of 1200 people in western New York State vanished. With the exception of a road marker pointing to its former site, there were no remains: cars, bodies, houses.
This tiny town vanished without any trace. Some say it was swallowed up by the Earth. Others claim that a meteorite hit destroyed it. Still, others say aliens took it away.
Regardless of what happened, residents of this once-thriving town are certain that their town won't be forgotten forever. They had just moved to another town.
You can even track the disappearance of Zugspitz on a dedicated website.
Then, where is it? It's in Switzerland, actually!
Zugspitze is located on the border between Germany and Austria. The lake Lake Zugspitze is just beyond the mountain's summit.
It's always fascinated me how so many towns disappear, yet others remain. Is it possible that some towns disappear and others are preserved? I set out to find out.
I wanted to know more about the mysterious disappearing towns. What is the secret to a town's disappearance? How can one place become extinct?
There are several theories behind the disappearing of towns. One theory suggests that a community disappears when all of its buildings are removed. Another theory suggests that the town simply moves somewhere else. A third theory claims that the town never existed at all.
There are many theories, but the truth is that thousands of towns around the world have been submerged by the earth. This video explores the history of these towns and examines their current state.

Hollywood scandals that shocked all of the world
There is nothing more shocking than witnessing someone get famous for the wrong reasons. But, it's equally shocking to watch them fall from the graces.
It's fascinating to see how industries react to their mistakes. We've all heard about celebrities who took too much alcohol and drugs. Some even died young because of it.
But, the worst part? When those stars openly discuss their issues and are ignored by everyone. This is where we ended up last week.
Heath Ledger, after a long and successful professional career, finally gave in to his demons. He overdosed on prescription pills, and after a brief battle with death, he passed away.
His family and friends were unable to accept his death, and the media was quick to criticize him.
Heath was once considered to be one of today's most talented actors. He was nominated for two Academy Awards for his performance in Brokeback Mountain.
Heath did more than act. He also directed films including A Knight's Tale. Monster's Ball and Iron Man.
Hollywood loved Heath, however he soon grew too big for his good looks. He began to drink heavily and took drugs. He finally went to rehab, and he was clean.
Now that he was sober, he wanted to make amends. He made a documentary called "Room 237," that chronicled the making and release of The Shining. It was supposed that it would be released this year but it won't make its debut in theaters until next.
Every time Heath tried to get back into Hollywood, something happened. In fact, he was actually twice arrested for drug-related charges.
We are not suggesting that Heath should be allowed back into the show business. However, it would be nice if he could get some help before things spiral out of control.
We hope Heath’s story can be an example to other people who believe they can still have it all.
