In the press have repeatedly been reports of researchers that in ancient times the Earth has a smaller size, and speed of rotation around its axis is greater, in comparison with the present time. Naturally, if you increase the size of Earth and the slowdown in the speed of its rotation, the daily time increased. The main reason for the slow speed of the material body (including Land) is increasing its diameter. A clear example of this is the reception skaters on the ice used to accelerate or slow speed of their body by bringing or removal of arms from the axis of its rotation.

Thunderstorm complexes, fraught with monsoon floods and large-scale cyclones... they Say all these varieties of bad weather in the tropics will be more frequent as global warming. How?

Scientists predict: the Earth's poles at any time can change places. Will there be a global catastrophe?

You may have already seen the charts compiled by Antarctic ice cores, a kind of a cardiogram ice ages. If Yes, then most likely you said cyclicality: about thousand years of glaciation, then a relatively short interglacial period, and again gradual cooling covers the planet. The reason - in a small and rhythmic variations of the Earth's orbit, which alter the amount of sunlight received our home.

Drought in the USA and on the black sea coast, a weak monsoon in India, the famine in the Sahel... the World is waiting for a new round of the food crisis, experts say.

The ice cover in the Arctic region has set a new minimum rate for the summer.

More and more evidence in favor of the theory of parallel worlds. Physicists from Stanford University was able to calculate the hypothetical number of universes, formed as a result of the Big Bang - 10 in 1016-St degree. Thus it is not excluded that they may stay in each other, and within our Land, perhaps hidden Earth-2.

Winston Churchill in 1932 said that, in his opinion, fifty years no one will care a whole chicken to eat her leg or breast. He believed that scientists will learn to grow separate pieces of chicken in a suitable environment.

Thousands of earthquakes occurring in rapid succession in less than a year under the Antarctic glacier, possibly connected with the tides of the sea.

The American team of astrophysicists led by Bruce Fegli built a computer model, which demonstrates the process of complete evaporation of the planet of the earth type. However, the researchers were not going to destroy the Earth - they were motivated purely scientific interest: to determine some characteristics of the so-called supersell.

Nature is so amazing atmospheric phenomena as lightning, the batter into the ground during a lightning storm, studied the man is still very superficially. Yet scientists know less about the unusual varieties of lightning, for example, ball lightning, or high-rise types of lightning, which can be observed more rarely. But experts do not stop attempts to explore these phenomena and literally go on the hunt for lightning. Sometimes the search to be successful - amazing natural phenomenon manage to capture a photo or video, and then to study in detail.

Ecologists, managers and specialists of water management met recently in London Chatham House [Royal Institute of international relations], in order to reflect on the future. Asia is a continent where these problems are most severe at the moment.

Is the world to come face to face with shocks connected with water? Such events are inevitable and already are.

According to the magazine "Nature", the human impact on the environment will lead the planet to the point of change. Last time it was 12 000 years ago. About it says Laure Nuala "Libеration" (France).

In July of the current year the world community was shocked with the news that the Greenland glaciers were melting at an unprecedented high speed. Let's remind, that several satellites, confirmed widespread melting of the ice sheet, including those areas that are not year-round are melting.
