Ron Garan, who launched on April 4, 2011 and returned home on September 16, 2011, completed nearly 3,000 orbits around Earth, discovering humanity has been'living a lie.' Garan said that while looking out the window of the International Space Station (ISS), he was struck by how differently the world appears from orbit. From space, the planet's fragile life-support systems, its atmosphere, oceans and ecosystems are clearly visible, yet human society treats them as if they exist only to serve the global economy.
Ancient Mayan water filters stopped a lot--just not mercury poisoning

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. A trio of ancient reservoirs in present-day Guatemala is revealing both the strength--and limitations--of Mayan water science. While the civilization's purification techniques resulted in comparatively clean drinking sources, archaeologists say the unknowable consequences of a commonly used, deep-red pigment consistently subjected the Indigenous population to toxic mercury poisoning .

Now, experts have revealed there are five'dimensions' to the end of the world that influence the way people think and act. A team from the University of British Columbia surveyed more than 3,400 people and found apocalyptic thinking is no longer confined to the fringes of society. People think about the apocalypse in multiple ways - including when it might happen, who or what would cause it and whether it's something to fear or welcome. These beliefs are strongly linked to how people perceive and respond to global risks like climate change, pandemics, nuclear conflict and emerging technologies like AI, the researchers said.
