the Where the Why and the How
Did you know:
...that some jellyfish may be able to live FOREVER? It's true-and some scientists discovered a spore (a hibernating form of particular types of bacteria) in a crystal of salt that was roughly 250 million years old! If they hadn't disturbed it, it is possible it would have lived another 250 million years, making this organism....immortal.....
...that trees can communicate with one another?
...that rogue waves of up to 1 720 feet tall (500 ft taller than the Empire State building) have been known to occur in the middle of the ocean, destroying giant ships?

Have you ever wondered:
...about what was here before the Big Bang?
...Or if there are more than three dimensions?
...Or why we sleep?
...Or hiccup?
