Pope Francis’ last public appearance was a blessing on Easter Sunday from St. Peter’s Cathedral.

His final message was a simple “Brothers and Sisters, Happy Easter.” Following the blessing, the Pope spent the rest of Easter resting and had a peaceful dinner. However, his health quickly declined on April 21, leading to a sudden visit from a doctor. He later…
Seismologists studying seismic patterns in California have uncovered compelling evidence of a rare geological process beneath the Sierra Nevada Mountains, described as Lithospheric Foundationale. This process involves the separation and sinking of the Earth’s outer layer into the lower mantle and is currently active. The discovery began when Deborah Kilb from the Scripps Oceanographic Research Institute detected unusual tremors at depths of 20-40 kilometers in the Sierra Nevada. She collaborated with Vera Schulte Perkum from the University of Colorado Boulder to investigate this anomaly, leading to insights using seismic imaging techniques that revealed the lithosphere was actively detaching in the…

A global survey of 130,000 people across 125 countries reveals that 89% believe their governments should take stronger action against climate change, but many feel isolated in their views due to a “silence spiral,” mistakenly thinking they are in the minority. The data shows a significant disparity between personal perceptions and reality; while only 43% reported feeling happy, many underestimated their peers’ willingness to contribute financially to combat global warming. The average willingness to donate 1% of income was found to be 69%, contrasting sharply with individual perceptions that suggested far less support among fellow citizens. The research highlighted that…
