Worms rain in Norway!

Can you imagine a rain in which instead of falling water fall bugs and animals? Well, it has happened in several parts of the globe, and in this entry of Science Daily Online we tell you, don't miss it!

The soil of Norway is full of worms

Many times, individuals from all over the world have witnessed rains in which in addition to having water, they were accompanied by animals of all kinds.One of the latter cases has surprised many when they have seen worms fall on the ground in Norway .

One of the first people to realize this strange phenomenon was Karstein Erstad, a professor of biology, who watched as worms fell to the ground surface while he was skiing in the mountains near the town of Bergen.According to his testimony: “When I saw the worms in the snow, it seemed that they had no life, but when I took one of them, I saw that it moved and was alive ”, I comment to the local newspaper of the city, collected by Daily Mail.

After giving their testimony, other people noticed the phenomenon in different areas of the region. In At first, Karstein Erstad, believed that worms reached the surface by crawling, but this idea was discarded by finding animals one meter deep.

Various causes to this fact

The magazine scientist Mother Nature Network , states that these incidents in which the rain goes to accompanied by animals , occur after storms and tornadoes Scientists think that beings are moved miles away from where they are.

Worms rain in Norway!

No one knows The reason for these facts is true, but it is thought that the worms began to leave the earth when the winter ended , and that they were carried by the wind .affirmation, on the coast of the Norwegian mountains, hot airbags that the rapine birds normally use to fly in a circle over the dam were caught and moved to the sky.

Other similar phenomena

Occasionally, after minimizing some distance, they fell to the ground like rain of worms.It is a strange phenomenon, but not unique.In 2011, they started raining worms in southern Edinburgh , in the courtyard of a school.Similarly, in 2009, there were documents certifying the rain of frogs and tadpoles in Ishikawa, Japan. But these animals are totally defenseless when compared to the rain of aranas what happened in Santo Antonio de Paltina, in Brazil, in 2013.

What do you think Is the rain of animals? A little curious, isn't it? If you found it interesting, you can also read "The Wandjina, the mysterious Australian rain spirits".

The mystery of prehistoric giant mushrooms

Imagine a primitive scenario , halfway between fantasy and mystery.It is a time where Earth has only two continents: Euramerica , to the north, and Gondwana , to the south.Imagine now that you are walking on a soil almost devoid of vegetation, there are hardly any plants, and your steps explode in the thicket of a rocky stage, where they stand... The authentic giants of the Earth: the prototaxites.These giant mushrooms were like strange mastiffs that could reach almost 8 meters.The higher the height, the greater the possibility of escaping their spores, and hence their sovereignty In these scenarios of Silurico and Devonico , almost 420 million years ago... But, what were they? Trees, bushes? ...The prototaxites were fungi.If you have felt a chill or have been stung by curiosity, do not hesitate to know more about these creatures worthy of appearing in the "Lost World" of Jules Verne. The era in which the Prototaxites, giant fungi, dominated the Earth Scientist...

The Tutankhamun dagger made with NOT terrestrial material

Since the discovery of his tomb in 1922 he has not stopped surprising us, and now more, that Tutankhamun's dagger finally has an explanation.Read on to discover this very interesting story, which has nothing to do with Martians or beings of other worlds. Tutankhamun's dagger made with non-terrestrial material In an earlier article we talked about some of the most valuable objects found in the tomb of this pharaoh, which Kingdom in Egypt from 1336 to 1327 BC Among the numerous objects, made of finely worked gold, ivory or wood, Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon came across two daggers placed on the body of the pharaoh child.there was no problem if both struts had been manufactured with common materials, but one of them was made of iron . You will think that iron is not unusual; and of course not, only that in ancient Egypt the objects made with this metal were very rare and very few, because this civilization, despite all its advances, did not handle iron technology, a...

What happens inside a black hole? The distressing possibilities

SPOILER ALERT! In a recent movie- Interstellar , 2014– an astronaut played by Matthew McConaughey and a rectangular robot fall into a black hole and survive to tell it.This movie featured a fancy scientific advice, such as the physical Kip Thorne , involved in the discovery of gravitational waves caused by the interaction of two black holes, but that did not prevent them from being too benign and fanciful when describing what could happen to you within a black hole. What happens inside a Black Hole? The distressing possibilities Black holes are points in the universe where the force of gravity is so intense that not even light can escape them.They can be the result of the collapse of red stars or the way in which Some galaxies are structured.This phenomenon was one of the predictions of the theory of relativity in the early twentieth century, with key contributions in the sixties and seventies, by physicists such as Stephen Hawking, and with a discovery in the new millenni...

Why do our guts sound like hunger?

Surely more than once he has put you in a bind.That sudden sound in the stomach, that cheeky purr that twists your guts at the least appropriate time: an elevator, a meeting, at the cinema, or simply, when everyone is casually silent...why does it happen to us, what causes that biological protest of our stomach? When our stomach roars They sound like the water that escapes from the pipes when we shower, right? Somehow, and even if you do not believe it, it is almost the same mechanism: this sound is caused by the movement of the intestines when they drive food through them.It always occurs twice, when we are hungry and when we are doing digestion. Curiously, it is precisely when we are hungry that we tend to protest more at our intestines, when the sound is louder.Therefore, we must put aside the responsibility of only the stomach responsible for such impudence.There are also the peristaltic movements of our intestines, these small pipes through which the food passes.It is t...

Do you know how long ago HIV exists? Will horrify you

Although HIV made its spectacular appearance in the early 80s of the last century, it was years before the origin of this retrovirus could be determined, and in the meantime there was a debate about whether it was a natural disease or rather, a human invention, in the style of Frankenstein, a virus escaped from laboratories where biological weapons were developed. Today it is known that it is a natural disease, not less deadly, considering that There are about 35 million infected in the world and 2 million more are infected annually.However, one question has persisted: how long does HIV exist, and apparently we already have an answer. Do you know? How long has HIV been there? It will horrify you Although AIDS was identified in the 80s, researchers today believe that the disease arose in equatorial Africa, where several strains of this retrovirus affected different species of chimpanzees and cercocebus ( gray mangabey ); happening in two or three occasions to the human beings (t...

A new way of life in Antarctica!

In 2016, Sergei Bulat, head of the cryobiology laboratory at the University of Nuclear Physics in St.Petersburg, announced the discovery of a new way of life in Antarctica: a bacterium found in a subglacial lake that could be accessed after drill four kilometers of ice. A new way of life in Antarctica! With 14 million square kilometers, in which the surface of Spain would fit about 28 times, and 10% of the earth's surface , covered by 90% of the planet's fresh water, mostly frozen , and large areas still unexplored, the discovery should not be a novelty of a new way of life in the form of bacteria; well, there are still hundreds, perhaps thousands of unidentified or classified microscopic species, in other less desolate corners and ends of the Earth. However, there are a couple of details that make special w123-10 , as this new member of the catalog of terrestrial life was baptized: the first is that only 86% of its genome is similar to the rest of the known organism...

They find 13 unique people immune to genetic diseases!

An interesting project has been launched since 2014 to search for people immune to genetic diseases.The project is called Resilience and is advanced by a group of scientists from the Icahn Institute of Genetics and Biology, of United States.Are you interested in knowing more? There are 13 UNICAS people immune to genetic diseases! Resilience is the human genome research project more big and ambitious so far, because it focuses on the genes that carry mutations that, however, do not produce hereditary or Mendelian diseases to those who have them. The thing is not simple: they are called pathologies Mendelian because they are transmitted to the downline according to the Mendel laws , and are caused by a mutation in a single gene.These mutations are variants in the genes, and can alter the function of the protein encoded in the gene, which can mean several things: or the protein is not produces, or does very little, or is unstable, or does not work properly, or increases its ...
