1) A Toxic Island in the Ocean is emerging as a terrifying truth due to human negligence. Humans are destroying nature in countless ways, but the most significant impact comes from plastic. After using plastic, which cannot be reused, humans fail to consider the long-term harm it causes. A survey reveals that approximately 14 billion pounds of garbage are dumped into the sea every year, with plastic waste severely affecting marine life. This discarded waste has created a Toxic Island in the Ocean—the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Spanning 1.6 million square kilometers, this island is filled with toxic plastics that will persist for thousands of years, endangering sea creatures. Dutch engineer Boyan Slat is spearheading a clean-up effort using the “SYSTEM 001” machine, though its success is still uncertain.
2) Scientists have discovered that lightning strikes at least 8 million times every day all over the world. Some of these lightning strikes cause many disasters. A single lightning bolt contains as much as 10 billion watts of energy. Do you know what happens if a lightning bolt with such power accidentally hits a human? Of course, many people die from this. But some people do not lose their lives even if they are struck by lightning. There are also such examples in the world. But they lose their sight due to the power of lightning. Some lose their memory. Some go into a coma. Thus, they face many problems in their body.
3) Men are using various types of Razor blades and Trimmers recently to remove their beard. But some are still using the old Razor blades of Gillette company. If you have used these old blades, you must have noticed their shape. But have you ever wondered why it has this shape? Let me tell you the answer in this matter. The first company in the world to start producing blades was “Gillete”. This company, which also produces razors along with blades, initially used to make the blades it manufactured using screws so that they could fit properly in the razors. But this was causing problems for the customers. Therefore, this shape was created in the middle of the blades. Due to this, the blades started fitting properly in the razor.
4) As we all know, there are many tall statues in the world. The first among them is the “Statue of Unity” of “Sardar Vallabhai Patel” in our country. We know how it was built and how much money was spent. But there is a similar tall statue in America. It is called the “Statue of Liberty”. This is a known fact to everyone. But have you ever wondered how it was built? Let me explain it in this article. The Statue of Liberty was given to America by France as a gift. It was given as a symbol of the friendship between the two countries. In order to build it, the French political expert “Edouard Rene De Laboulaye” collected money from the people of France and built it with the help of “Gustave Eiffel”, who built the famous “Eiffel Tower”. Then, one part of it was sent to America by ship. By placing it on Liberty Island, America showed the world its friendship with France and as a symbol of justice and freedom.
5) Naturally, a father loves his children very much. No matter how difficult it was for him, it is common for a father to give them what they asked for and raise them lovingly. But there is a father who did something for his son that no father in the world could do. His name is “Pablo Escobar”. He was the richest criminal in the world. At the time of his death, his total assets were 12700 crores. He was famous for supplying drugs to the world and made a lot of money from it. He had so much money that he could not count the money he had and threw it everywhere in the warehouse. Rats ate so many notes from it. He also spent lakhs of rupees every month to buy rubber bands that were used only for money. He was such a rich criminal. One day, when the police tried to catch him, he hid in a house with his son to avoid their eyes. The house was very cold because it was snowing outside. Due to this, his son started shivering from the cold. Seeing this, he started setting fire to the crores of rupees he had in his possession to protect his son from the cold. In this way, he set fire to all the money he had throughout the night and protected his son from the cold. Even though he was such a bad person, one must admire his love for burning crores of rupees for his son.
