Imagine watching a live report on a devastating forest fire and suddenly seeing a giant figure emerge from the flames. That’s what happened to some Chilean viewers earlier this month‚ when they witnessed an eerie scene during a newscast about the inferno that was raging in the city of Valparaíso. The video‚ which was posted on social media by some of the viewers‚ shows a live shot of the fire from a distance. As the flames consume the vegetation and buildings‚ an odd form in the shape of a person appears to stand up from the fire and raise its arm. The figure then seems to disappear after a few seconds. The video quickly went viral in Chile‚ sparking a lot of speculation and debate about the nature and origin of the mysterious figure. Some people suggested that it was a supernatural being‚ such as an angel or a demon‚ that was either trying to help or harm the people affected by the fire. Others proposed that it was an extraterrestrial or a giant‚ perhaps visiting or living in the area. Some more skeptical viewers argued that it was nothing more than smoke or shadows‚ creating an optical illusion of a person. But what is the truth behind this strange phenomenon? Is there a logical explanation for it‚ or is it something beyond our understanding? The post Mysterious giant humanoid figure filmed during forest fire appeared first on Anomalien.com.

In a new study published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics‚ scientists conclude that the Universe must have had a beginning. They completely rejected the possibility of an endless cyclical process. The study‚ led by University at Buffalo physicists led by William H. Kinney‚ contradicts previous models that assumed endless cycles of expansion and contraction of the Universe. Scientists have previously proposed cyclic models to explain the continuity and eternity of the universe‚ but new research demonstrates that these models cannot solve the problem of entropy. The Big Bang theory‚ which has dominated over the past decades‚ suggests that the universe began in an explosion from a small‚ static point. However‚ it does not agree with some aspects of Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity. Instead‚ the researchers proposed the Big Bounce theory‚ which posits that our universe arose from the collapse of a previous universe. However‚ new research points to limitations to possible cyclical models. Scientists have discovered that disorder and entropy accumulate in the universe over time‚ making each cycle different from the previous one. This means that cyclical universes must begin at a certain point in time. Physicist Will Kinney comments: “We show that when you solve the entropy problem‚ you create a situation in which the universe must have had a beginning. Our test overall shows that any cyclic model that eliminates entropy by expansion must have a beginning.” The researchers acknowledge that their proof does not apply to the cyclic model proposed by Roger Penrose‚ in which the Universe expands infinitely in each cycle. They continue to work on this and intend to conduct further analysis of this model. As the authors of the study note‚ the natural human tendency to understand origins and beginnings has always been present in cultures and histories. The question of what came before the beginning of the universe remains open‚ and scientists continue to research to find answers.

Zotac is leading the way with an RTX 4070 Super price drop‚ but in reality‚ the saving isn't something that's going to suddenly see units fly off the virtual shelves. Nvidia dropped the Super version of the RTX 4070 last month‚ but it appears that the RTX 4080 Super has stolen its limelight and become the most desirable graphics card of the bunch. We assessed the card in our RTX 4070 Super review and identified it as "a new mid-range king" while going as far as to deem it the best graphics card for most users‚ although you won't be gaming in 4K with it‚ that's reserved for the likes of more expensive Nvidia GPUs.
