The Betz family lived on a large 88-Acre property near Jacksonville Florida. In the early 1970s their property was ravaged by a fire and during its inspection, they came across this perfect silver sphere which was 8 inches in diameter.
The Betz family thought it might be a new kind of government probe or satellite and decided to take the artifact home with them. They didn’t think much of it until it started behaving in odd ways.
The first thing they observed in regards to the sphere was that it resonated with a frequency in response to their son strumming his guitar and that terrified their dog. When they rolled the sphere it would stop, turn around and come back towards the person who pushed it. The family claimed that it could also climb up a slanted table. Needless to say, a media frenzy ensued. Articles about the sphere appeared in publications like the New York Times and London Daily.
Even stranger things started happening at the Betz residence. Doors would open and slam shut on their own, strange music would play randomly, and their dog started staying outside because it was too afraid to come near the sphere. The family handed the sphere over to the Navy once things became unbearable for them.
After running a battery of tests, the Navy determined that the ball was nothing but an ordinary stainless steel ball which was probably part of an art project that belonged to a sculptor known as James Durling-Jones.
“In 2016 Chinese officials confirmed they had lost control of the space station and it would crash to Earth in 2017 or 2018. China’s space agency has since notified the UN that it expects Tiangong-1 to come down between October 2017 and April 2018.
Since then the station’s orbit has been steadily decaying. In recent weeks it has dipped into more dense reaches of Earth’s atmosphere and started falling faster.”
The ESA predicted that fragments could fall over any spot within 43ºN and 43ºS, latitudes which encompass major Asian cities such as Beijing, Tokyo, Bangkok, Singapore and New Delhi.
The Middle East, the African continent, parts of Europe such as Spain and Italy as well as American cities like San Francisco, New York and Miami are also within the latitude range.
The space agency explained that it is not possible to provide more precise landing locations.
Today my professor told me every cell in our entire body is destroyed and replaced every seven years. How comforting it is to know that one day I will have a body that you will have never touched.
This just made me feel so warm.
thank you.
Important especially for victims of abuse, remember your body is yours and it heals in more ways than you realize.
Okay, so I just want to say that this isn’t necessarily true. Most of your cells have died and regrown several times in seven years, but some haven’t, and some have died and won’t return. The seven year cell renewal is a myth perpetuated by popsci in magazines everywhere.
That being said, anywhere they may have touched you, your skin, your hair, your nails and so on, was changing the moment they departed your life, even before that. Your skin became skin they’ve never touched within 27 days. Your hair grows (on average) six inches per year, so depending on how long yours is, you were rid of their touch there within a few years tops. Your nails will completely regrow within six months tops. You were a body they never touched within three or four years. You will be a body they never touched within three or four years.
You have been rewriting your body, you are your own, you are constantly changing, and you are the only one who owns your body 100% of the time.
I’m here for correcting science myths in supportive ways.
At Cambridge University, they were sick of checking the coffee pot level, so Quentin Stafford-Frasier wrote client software for a greyscale 128×128 camera hooked up to an acorn archemedes computer.
