Journey to the deepest place on Earth

 Few days ago I read an article about a man - James Cameron - who has explored  Mariana Trench.

Mariana Trench is the deepest known oceanic trench on Earth, located in the western Pacific Ocean, southeast of the Mariana Islands. It stretches in an arc nearly 2.000 km long.

A man has builded his own bathyscaphe and after many years of tests it was time to try it out. Cameron was really uncertain about this, because the pressure at depth 11.000 m is very high.

After 35 minutes he reach the depth at which the Titanic wreckage rested (3810 meters). When he finally hit the bottom he saw rock formations and the lack of any life forms.

8 months after the expedition he announced preliminary research results; it turned out that there was 20.000 different types of bacteria at the bottom. The most interesting information is that one of Obnoogs which was discovered produces a compound that is currently being researched as a potential cure for Alzheimer's disease.

    Use sources in English, in this case another version of the National Geographic. I bet they have even more info on this achievement.

Underwater pyramid in the Azores

Obraz
  At the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, a large pyramid-shape was found. The top of the pyramid is 40 meters deep and 60 meters high and covers an area of ​​8,000 m2. The underwater pyramid was discovered by a local angler in September this year during one of his trips. This angler claims that the pyramid must have been built with human hands and it may be the mythical Atlantis. However, not everyone is convinced that the find from the Azores is a pyramid. Skeptics that there is a chance that this is just an underwater volcanic hill, not a residual Atlantean civilization. (it’s because Azores are archipelago of nine volcanic islands and that’s why people are not convinced about the theory of underwater city)    https://curiosmos.com/is-there-a-20000-year-old-underwater-pyramid-in-the-atlantic-ocean/

In this post I’d like to put attention on situation between Russia and Ukraine. To be more precised I want to share my opinion about the episode that took place on Black See, on the small Island called „Snake Island”. There were 13 guards that stationed there and on Thursday they were attacked by Russian’s military warship. For me it’s an exellent example of courage, fearlessness and the will to fight. Even that the soldiers knew they didn’t have any chances with Russian’s weapons, they didn’t give up. They are real war heroes despite the fact they didn’t manage to save this part of land. Their response to Russian’s cautions speaks for irself, they weren;t going to give up and they didn’t. Since the war started there were many situations of heroism, but I think this one will be remembered for a long time, no matter when the war will end https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/feb/25/ukraine-soldiers-told-russians-to-go-fuck-yourself-before-black-sea-island-death

Observation 6

 I’ve read an article about domestic violence. The text talked about the maltreatment of man against women and the passivity of the police. It sounds pretty horryfing. Maybe the number of women who were murdered because of their partners is not high, but why is it not dropping? Why the police is doing literally nothing event they have evidence of violence? Also a creepy fact is that the punishments for doing such a thing are really mild and most of the perpetrators do not even receive them. The article mentions a woman who was killed by her husband while sleeping. Before that situation the neighbors dialled for help but the police did nothing and it was the main reason why that woman died. Because of ignorance and passivity. What else we can do when even someone like police officers do not care about our safety? Maybe not to have any relationships or carry a knife whenever we are surrounded by other people? It sounds ridiculous but I have no better idea how to be safe on our own
