In an age without fridges or freezers, medieval cooks devised a clever solution: making pies with ultra-thick crusts strong enough to act like a jar, sealing in juicy meats for days.

These crusts, called coffins, were tough and several inches thick.

They baked for hours in open hearths or clay ovens.

The sturdy pastry protected the fillings from spoilage, allowing storage without refrigeration.

Upper classes filled theirs with expensive meats and spices.

Lower classes used root vegetables and cheaper cuts.

Often, the hard crust was discarded or repurposed, not eaten.

This method showed practical ingenuity in medieval Europe, starting from the 14th century AD.#MedievalCooking #CulinaryHistory #FoodPreservation

 For decades, time travel was seen as science fiction—a dream for writers, a fantasy for dreamers. But modern physics is changing that perception.

Einstein revolutionized our view of time, showing it's not a universal clock but something that bends and warps around massive objects like stars. Then came Gödel’s mind-bending solution to Einstein’s equations: a rotating universe that could, in theory, loop time back on itself. Later, rotating black holes and wormholes entered the scene—cosmic phenomena that might connect different places and times.

The main barriers? Energy and stability. Traversable wormholes would require "exotic matter" or negative energy, both difficult to produce in meaningful amounts. Even if built, quantum effects could destabilize them before use. And while Stephen Hawking once argued time travel must not exist (since we see no future tourists), even he later admitted it might be possible under the laws of physics—just not practical yet.

Some theories suggest that changing the past simply spawns a new timeline, leaving your original untouched.

Earth’s 27-Million-Year "Heartbeat": A Mysterious Cycle of Geological Upheaval!

Scientists have uncovered a recurring cycle of geological activity on Earth, occurring roughly every 27.5 million years. This planetary "heartbeat" is marked by clusters of volcanic eruptions, mass extinctions, shifting tectonic plates, and rising sea levels. The findings, published in Geoscience Frontiers, suggest that these events are not random but follow a predictable pattern—one that has shaped Earth’s history for at least 260 million years.

By analyzing 89 well-documented geological events over the past 260 million years, researchers discovered that catastrophic changes tend to cluster together in pulses. These pulses involve a wide range of planetary upheavals, including:

Mass extinctions in both marine and land ecosystems.

Large-scale volcanic eruptions, such as continental flood basalts.

Major ocean anoxic events, where oceans lose oxygen, leading to widespread marine die-offs.

Sea-level fluctuations tied to climate shifts and ice age cycles.

Tectonic shifts, including changes in seafloor spreading rates and plate reorganizations.

What makes this discovery remarkable is that statistical analysis confirms these events are not random. Instead, they follow a recurring cycle—suggesting a deeper underlying cause driving these periodic catastrophes.

The idea of cyclic geological activity isn’t new. In the 1920s and 1930s, early studies suggested a 30-million-year cycle in Earth’s history. Later, research in the 1980s and 1990s refined the pattern to between 26.2 and 30.6 million years. This new study pinpoints 27.5 million years as the most consistent interval, further strengthening the idea that Earth’s history moves in rhythmic pulses.

The freshwater fish that can eat a crocodile. The Goliath Tigerfish is an apex predator within its environment, preying on other fish, birds, and even small crocodiles. It is known for its aggressive nature and powerful jaws and 32 razor sharp teeth. These Goliath's can grow huge, reaching up to 5 feet (1.5 meters) in length and weighing over 110 pounds. #interestingtidbits #wildandcrazyfacts
