If you head to Luzon Island in the Philippines, you’ll find Callao Cave hidden in the jungle. "What's so special about an old cave?" you may ask. Well, this is exactly where archeologists discovered a previously unknown ancient species related to us humans! This human-like species was dubbed Homo luzonensis in honor of the island it was discovered on. Adults were probably quite short, about 4 feet (1.2 m) tall. The scientists assumed that this species led a mixed lifestyle, what with their ability to both climb trees and walk on two legs. However, the finding seems to raise more questions than it answers… Other videos you might like:

How ancient this species is 8:41 #discoveries #archaeology #brightside Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY:
– Luzon Island was one of those seemingly inaccessible places because it also didn’t have any land bridge connecting it to the mainland. – In 2003, Dr. Armand Mijares, a local archeologist from the University of the Philippines, started excavations in Callao Cave together with his team. – As they were going about their research, the team found evidence of human activity in that region, including some tools and pottery which were dated to be about 25,000 years old. – In 2004, another group of archeologists discovered Homo floresiensis, a tiny human species that was later nicknamed "the hobbit."
– Even though it was a cool discovery on its own, it also inspired Dr. Mijares to return to Callao Cave. He got back on track in 2007 with a firm decision to dig deeper. – But it wasn't until 2010 that Mijares and his team finally made their revolutionary discovery. In their search, the scientists stumbled across a 67,000-year-old human fossil! – The teeth were tiny with a simple shape, making them similar to the teeth of modern humans. But what makes them even more unique is that one of the upper premolars found had 3 roots, a feature found in less than 3% of people today. – Scientists assumed that this species led a mixed lifestyle, what with their ability to both climb trees and walk on two legs. They could’ve walked in a peculiar way, but researchers haven’t determined that yet.
– There have been attempts to extract DNA from the discovered remains, but so far, they haven’t gotten any results. – It seems humans that lived on Luzon Island used tools to hunt and prepare food! – But that's not all! In 2018, Dr. Mijares announced that chances are Homo luzonensis lived on the island much further back in time. The archeologists found some stone tools. And these findings are a whopping 700,000 years old! Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————-

More A Mysterious Human-Like Species Has Been Discovered in the Philippines Videos

It all started around 10 years ago when NASA launched the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope. This wasn’t your standard “point-and-shoot” telescope. It’s much more an advanced piece of equipment that literally opened a huge window on the Universe. So, when you observe the sky through this telescope rather than with your own eyes, you’d be looking at a totally different picture! When the astronomers started getting data back from the Fermi telescope, they noticed that the center of our galaxy was emitting a lot more gamma radiation than its outskirts. To put it simply, something is glowing incredibly bright right in the middle of the Milky Way! But the most perplexing thing is that no one has been able to find an exact explanation for this phenomenon for nearly a decade! Other videos you might like:

Why galaxies don't split apart 2:27
Alternative explanation 4:56
What are pulsars? 5:30
What if a pulsar entered our solar system 6:52
What do other scientists think? 8:35 #milkyway #space #brightside Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY:
– From the very beginning, some scientists hoped that the mysterious glow was somehow connected to the long-sought-after and enigmatic “dark matter.” – There’s a theory that dark matter works as a sort of glue that keeps things together. Thanks to this sticky stuff, galaxies don't split apart, stars don't collide with one another, and our Earth doesn't stray off its orbit into open space.
– By calling it "dark" matter, scientists aren’t talking about the color. They just mean that this space phenomenon doesn't emit either any radiation or light visible to the human eye. – Some astronomers supposed that the central region of the Milky Way was glowing with such intensity because dark matter was getting destroyed there.
– If the mystifying glow was created by dark matter annihilation, then gamma-ray particles would get distributed in space evenly. But the telescope showed them gathering in clumps. – But there is an alternative explanation of why the Milky Way is glowing. The culprit might be a group of millisecond pulsars, which are neutron stars rotating really really fast.
– Pulsars are the lighthouses of the Universe, although not in the meaning that they save spacecraft from collision! It’s more in the fact that they emit focused beams of radiation that you can only see if you get in their path. – If a pulsar were to enter our solar system one day, it’d be a bad situation to say the least. The spinning invader would wreak havoc and chaos by throwing the planets off their orbits (probably pulling away one or two of them).
– Several studies have concluded that, due to the nature of the light, millisecond pulsars are the best explanation for this phenomenon. – But that doesn’t mean all scientists are convinced. They state that these clumps may be a result of the interaction of gas between stars and cosmic rays. Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————-

– The Rainbow Lift helps move your glutes both up and down, and back and forth. It works all 3 of your gluteus muscles, and as an added bonus, your abs as well.
– The Donkey Kicks is super-efficient if you want to tone the muscles of your butt. What’s more enticing is that this exercise also helps to sculpt your abs and strengthen the spine. – The Fire Hydrant Kicks works your abs, glutes, hips, and lower body, so you’ll be more than bootylicious; you’ll have flaunt-worthy abs as well. – Bound Tiger Pose warms and stretches the back muscles and spine. Although the Tiger Pose has many versions, we’ll stick with the classic one here. Apart from toning your butt, this exercise strengthens the muscles of the digestive system, boosting metabolism and promoting digestion.
– Squats need no introduction. They’re among the most popular and effective exercises with a whole lot of benefits. They target multiple muscles in your entire lower body, including your quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings, and your whole posterior. – Curtsy Squats are an excellent exercise if you want a toned butt and shapely inner thighs. Even though they’re simple to do, beginners often end up doing it incorrectly.
– Although extremely simple, Ski Squats, just like its other squat siblings, are very effective in targeting the butt… muscles.
– The Sumo Walk is great for toning your glutes, hip flexors, and quadriceps. It also engages the hamstrings. – The Glute Bridge is an excellent exercise for people who spend long hours at the office, sitting at a desk. It strengthens the glutes, hamstrings, hip muscles, lower back muscles, and promotes better posture. – Any squat is perfect for shaping your…c butt, but Malasana or Deep Squat is among those that specifically target the buttock region. This simple yoga pose not only sculpts your rear, but it also stretches your neck, hamstrings, spine, and ankles.
– Awkward Pose Yoga has so many benefits that you’ll almost forget that getting a beautiful butt is one of them. Among its advantages are correcting your posture, improving body balance, reducing stress, and combating depression. Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————-

… They cut the cord and seconds later, the man sitting on a lawn chair tied to a balloon cluster was soaring up among the clouds. This sounds like some kind of Up-style fairytale, but, believe it or not, this story actually happened for real in 1982! Once upon a time, in 1949 to be more precise, a boy named Larry Walters was born in Los Angeles, California. He dreamed of the sky, but his dream to be a US Air Force pilot was not destined to come true because of his poor eyesight. So Larry became a truck driver and lived like any other person in San Pedro. But his love for the sky and his dream to fly didn’t go away though. Larry remembered an idea that occurred to him when he was 13. Back then, he first saw weather balloons hanging off the ceiling at a military store… Other videos you might like:

Cluster ballooning 6:46
The longest duration flight by helium balloons 8:33 #ClusterBallooning #LarryWalters #brightside Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY:
– To figure out how many balloons he’d need for the experiment, he had to have done some calculations.
– To lift a person weighing 175 pounds, you’d need a whopping 5,700 balloons! But if you get 10-foot army surplus store balloons instead, you’d only need like 8 of those to fly. – Larry was true to his dream, and went for weather balloons instead. Together with his then-girlfriend, he bought 45 weather balloons and helium tanks. – So, “Lawnchair Larry”, as he was nicknamed later, strapped on a parachute, commanded his friends to cut the cord tied to his Jeep, and soared into the sky. – The wind was blowing strong in his face, and the speed he was moving wasn’t ideal for stopping.
– Things were getting out of control: Larry was way higher, moving way faster, and going way further than he planned.
– The balloons that got tangled on the power lines in Long Beach caused a massive power outage that lasted 20 minutes. – Long Beach authorities arrested him, but soon let him go with a fine of $4,000.
– After his beautiful flight, “Lawnchair Larry” appeared on the Tonight Show and Late Night With David Letterman.
– To top it all off, there was even an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants “The Sponge Who Could Fly” inspired by the story. – Larry Walters might not have become the most successful motivational speaker, but he sure motivated quite a few people to follow his example.
– He inspired a whole extreme sport named cluster ballooning. Its fans strap themselves in a harness and attach themselves to rubber balloons filled with helium to fly. – The Guinness Book of World Records currently features the longest duration flight by helium balloons that lasted 13 hours, 36 minutes, and 57 seconds.

Imagine: you’re flying! But wait, where’s the plane? A wingsuit? Parachute? Anything! Uh-oh, looks like you’re 6 miles high and free-falling! So, is this it or is there a way to hack yourself out of this dire situation? A person’s chances of survival when falling from a height of 35,000 feet (10,000 m) are slim. Anyway, despite this poor outlook, you still have a glimmer of hope! You’ll be surprised to know that if you were to stumble from the top of a tall building, you’d be in a much worse situation! Actually, there is a book that lists over 200 cases of people falling from a plane without a parachute and living to tell the tale. Other videos you might like:

– Right from the get-go, you’d probably pass out because there’s not much oxygen when you’re 6 miles (10 km) up in the atmosphere. – Earth’s gravity is pulling you down and trying to accelerate you. On the other hand, like any moving object, you’re facing air resistance, which is kind of a drag. – If you were falling from a skyscraper, you’d land with the same force as when you fall from a 6-mile height. But you’d only have 12 seconds to prepare for contact, versus having approximately 3 minutes when falling from a plane.
– The first scenario is when you’re free-falling with just yourself and the clothes on your back. The second way is to try and become a “wreckage rider.”
– In 1972, Serbian flight attendant Vesna Vulović incidentally broke a world record for surviving the highest fall without a parachute.
– In 1943, American military pilot Alan Magee survived a 20,000-foot (6,000 m) absolute free-fall that ended with him crashing through the glass ceiling of the St. Nazaire train station in France.
– Not water! When you’re falling at 120 mph (190 kph) from 6 miles (10 km) high, water will feel like concrete.
– Look for something that can soften the blow – a snow bank or slope, a haystack, a big tree. Marshland is ideal since it’s soft and swampy. Just watch out for the gators afterward.
– Now that you’ve chosen your target, you need to try and direct your fall. To slow down, spread your arms and legs apart (think flying squirrel!), throw your head back, and straighten your shoulders.
– You’re not skydiving in this scenario. Just remember that no matter what the surface below is, you need to avoid landing on your head. – If you’re falling with your head down and can do nothing about it, try to land on your face. It sounds counter-intuitive, but it’s better than hitting the top or back of your skull. Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————-

More 15 People You Wouldn’t Recognise Despite Knowing Them Videos

The lengths people will go to lose weight is sometimes scary. You’ve heard of those questionable diet pills, teas, and even body creams that supposedly help you burn fat. But one of the most dangerous ways to slim down is prolonged fasting, and one man took it to the extreme when he stopped eating altogether for over a year! Angus Barbieri holds the Guinness World Record for the longest hunger strike, which lasted 382 days. Even now scientists don’t quite understand how he could live without food for such a long time and not harm his health. Most scientists are convinced that giving up food for more than 40 days can be extremely dangerous for our health. So, what was this man’s reason for doing something this risky and how he could live for such a long time without food? Other videos you might like:

Animation is created by Bright Side. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY:
– In 1965, 27-year-old Angus Barbieri checked himself into Maryfield Hospital in Dundee, Scotland. His weight at the time was 456 pounds. He told the doctors that he was ready to refuse food to lose weight.
– At first, Barbieri wasn’t planning on fasting for too long. But days turned into weeks that turned into months. Barbieri kept on refusing food past the 40-day limit because he said that he felt okay.
– For the entire duration of this unconventional weight-loss journey, Barbieri took potassium, sodium, and vitamin supplements since he wasn’t getting any nutrients from food.
– The vitamin diet seemed to be working alright since Barbieri didn’t experience any problems that would require him to remain in the hospital. – He only had to go to the hospital regularly to get tests done. And the doctors did, in fact, notice a very low level of glucose in his blood. – On July 11, 1966, Angus Barbieri’s headline-making fast finally ended. After 382 days, the now unrecognizable man had lost a whopping 276 pounds. He’d reached his goal weight of 180 pounds. – At the end of his fast, Barbieri was looking forward to a vacation in Spain and a gradual return to eating with a careful eye on keeping his weight stable.
– But what really stunned everyone was that he was able to keep the weight off! But once Barbieri went back to eating normal meals, he only gained 15 pounds. – In theory, the human body can live on these fat stores until they run out. But after that, you get into really dangerous territory because it’ll start feeding on the muscles.
– People who start fasting often notice that at the initial stage, they have an unusual clarity of thought, almost as if their brains are working more efficiently. – To this day, there’s no scientific proof that fasting for longer than 40 days can do any good. In fact, there’s more proof that it’s extremely harmful. – But we can see the case of Angus Barbieri’s record-breaking fast as proof that the human body is a fascinating mechanism to say the least!

Recently, astronomers were able to map about 1 billion stars around us. Sounds impressive, but that’s less than 1% of the total stars in the Milky Way. So it’s statistically impossible for us to be the first intelligent species in the galaxy! But if there absolutely should be developed civilizations in the Universe, then where is everybody? We’ve been looking for about 70 years for any sign of extraterrestrial life, or any communication from little green men or whatever they are. And we still have absolutely nothing to show for it. How is this possible? That exact question was once asked by famous Italian physicist Enrico Fermi, the creator of the first ever nuclear reactor. Other videos you might like:

– The Fermi Paradox has a lot of potential solutions. The first group is all about two big ideas: The Rare Earth Hypothesis and the idea of the Great Filter.
– Can you imagine, how much would have to fall into place for an advanced civilization to rise to our level? Let’s just say we hit a jackpot in all categories. – Jupiter is hugely beneficial to us. Its mass attracts all the space debris, meteors and comets like a giant vacuum cleaner. If not for it, the Earth would be bombarded with giant space rocks all the time. – The size of our planet and its speed of rotation make an optimal day and night cycle. Our planet has lots of chemical elements, crucial for the development of life. – Eventually, it’ll have beings that look at the skies from time to time and think that they probably aren’t alone in the Universe. – But these intelligent folks still won’t be the ultimate winners of this universal lottery. They still must develop technology to go into space and send signals. – Another solution is far more optimistic. Aliens are out there, but we just can’t communicate properly with them.
– What if they went through a significantly different route in technology; one that’s not even comprehensible for us. What if they did so because their own communication is different than ours?
– The next solution is far more possible. In basic terms, it proposes that we aren’t alone, but we are the first to advance our civilization to the needed level of technology.
– There’s also a funny argument that aliens are so unlike humans in their way of thinking that they simply don’t want to communicate with anyone else.
– And finally, the solution all fans of UFOs want to believe in – they really are common in the galaxy, but they can hide from us and maybe they’re already around us. Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————-
