This Is What Sunset Looks Like From Space
Even in times of scientific and technological advancements, our beautiful planet remains full of mysteries. From the incredible bismuth crystal that looks like it came from some sort of sci-fi film to the enchanting glowing forest in Japan with its luminescent mushrooms scattered along the forest floor, there are so many exquisite finds on Earth. They make us question how much about the place we inhabit we don’t really know.
Some of the most standout mysteries that have been captivating the imagination of many throughout the years include Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England. The structure consists of a ring of standing stones, with each stone standing approximately thirteen feet high, seven feet wide and weighing 25 tons. It’s believed to have been built about 5000 years ago, but scholars still do not agree on what its purpose could have been.
Another mysterious object is the stone spheres found in Costa Rica, located on the Diquis Delta and on Isla del Cano. There are over three hundred petro spheres scattered throughout the country that are still considered a great, unsolved archaeological mystery. The heaviest of them weighs many tons, and they’re believed to be made of granodiorite.

Certain Fish Skin Can Be Grafted Onto Burns And Diabetic Wounds. The Material Recruits The Body's Own Cells And Is Converted Eventually Into Living Tissue

It's tilapia skin. The very common, quite cheap white fish that you can find in the supermarket freezer (at least in Europe)

This is clearly abroad since it’s widely known that U of Boston grows synthetic skin (it’s real but they call it that for other reasons) for full thickness moderate percentages of skin necessary.
Lauren Poole 2 years ago
This is false information - the fish skin is used like a dressing and eventually removed. It helps the healing process more effectively than cloth dressings and bandages as the the fish skin is similar in many ways to human skin such as being high in collagen
Pamela Scott 3 years ago
It doesn't actually convert the living skin it is eventually replaced as the patients body grows new skin. This grafted tissue keeps the wound from being open till then.

OMG! I have never seen or heard of this ! Tilapia comes from a lot of polluted rivers so I hope these are grown in fish farms!!

Dawn Birdsong Olmsted 2 years ago
I think it is more likely human skin, probably from the patient themselves. The skin is removed from a healthy area, then cut and expanded. The skin will grow toward itself to a certain extent and fill in.
Judy Callaway 2 years ago
This is for real! I looked it up! Search tilapia skin graft if you are a nonbeliever 😊
MuddyPuddles 2 years ago
it works because tilapia have very high levels of collagen proteins - I learned that from watching House

Thank God we've found a solution for massive burns or wounds. It is a wonderful thing to see that we have come this far in medicine that we have a "substitute" skin that will suffice until the body can manufacture it's own.

I saw how they raise tilapia in asian countries. Human poo is fed from above the fish holding pen. Gross !. Others are fed so much antibiotics, I never ate tilapia again !
Kimlan Lau 3 years ago
Yes @Gin.No tonic, it is Tilapia, it is also farmed here in the West Indies. I saw several articles which stated that the treatment was created in Brazil. Not sure of the accuracy.

Sendai Daikannon, One Of The Tallest Statues In The World
M Calad 3 years ago
I am fascinated by the optical effect of the design. The statue is not at full body length, it's around 3/4, missing the bottom 1/4. This makes the brain believe that the statue goes lower (like if the legs of the statue extended down), therefore it's perceived longer than it actually is. How cool!

The UK Is Full Of Charming Crinkle Crankle Garden Walls
In England you sometimes see these "wavy" brick fences. And curious as it may seem, this shape uses fewer bricks than a straight wall. A straight wall needs at least two layers of bricks to make it sturdy, but the wavy wall is fine thanks to the arch support provided by the waves.

This Device Is Used To Measure Lengths On Maps. Simply Roll It Along Streets You Want To Use And It Tells You The Distance
Maiun 3 years ago
My grandad worked for British Ordnance Survey in the 1950s and 60s, he went out, measured the landscape and then hand drew maps. When he died, we cleared out his home studio and I found at least 6 of these in various draws, boxes etc. I remember sitting with him as a child running them over maps to see where we were in relation to landmarks etc. I still love looking at maps 30 years after his death as it reminds me of the gentle, kind soul he was.

The wavy walls are also used for planting sensitive fruit trees. The waveform protects the plants from the wind and the masonry stores the heat of the sun and gives it off during the night.
