A selection of interesting posts from TG channels from Russian Baikonur Scientific absurdity about the Paleozoic pensioner:.
« Trilobite, which are about 400 million years old. Odontochile is an extinct marine arthropod from the trilobite group. Similar specimens are found in Morocco, in early Devonian deposits that are about 400 million years old. Trilobites were one of the main inhabitants of the ancient seas. They appeared about 521 million years ago and lasted about 270 million years, disappearing at the end of the Permian during the largest mass extinction in Earth's history. During this time, thousands of species of trilobites existed - from small bottom-dwelling animals to forms with unusual spines, shells and complex eyes. ROIN / There is no place on stumps that put crystal caps:.
"These unusual formations resemble giant mushrooms with transparent caps and dozens of icicles. Under each of them hides an ordinary tree stump.
Similar structures appear on bodies of frozen water when the water level changes. Ice forms around protruding tree stumps, and when the water recedes some of the ice remains on the tree. During the thaw, the ice melts, water flows from the edges and when it refreezes, it turns into icicles.
I would like to go to a place like this one day. Especially at night, when the ice glows blue in the light of a flashlight, and there is total darkness all around. It was like being in some world from the Elder Scrolls. All that's missing are ancient ruins and a pair of glowing creatures." The techno science of the 19th century coffee machine "This is a Belgian siphon coffee machine that works on a surprisingly elegant principle. When heated, water under steam pressure goes into the bottle with ground coffee, and after turning off the heating, it returns back in the form of a finished drink.
The most interesting thing is that the mechanism is almost automatic.
When the water passes into the upper bottle, the balance changes position and turns off the burner.
This then creates a vacuum in the system, which draws the coffee back through the filter."
