The Earth is 4.5 billion years old, and plants, most likely mosses and liverworts with shallow roots, may have colonized land as recently as 470 million years ago. Vascular plants appeared around 420 million years ago, but no plants grew higher than 3 feet (1 metre) off the ground for tens of millions of years after that.

Aside from being a millionaire and a brilliant inventor, one of Batman's distinguishing characteristics is that he never kills his adversaries. It's a noble strategy, but it's not entirely accurate, especially in the character's early days. Since his first appearance in Detective Comics #27, the Caped Crusader has willingly thrown a crook into a vat of acid, boasting, "A fitting end for his kind." A few issues later, in Detective Comics #30, Batman kicks a villain's neck so hard that it snaps. The no-killing rule would eventually take shape as the comics became more kid-friendly, but even in the twenty-first century, the character's film appearances frequently involv

According to legend, the addition of candles to cakes began in Ancient Greece, where cakes were made in the shape of a moon for the Goddess of the Moon, Artemis.The moonlight was reflected in the candles, and the smoke lifted the devotee's prayers to Artemis. It's also said that when we blow out the candles on birthday cakes, the smoke carries our wishes away to be granted. You don't want to be blowing out those birthday candles in Venezuela, where it's customary to try to push the birthday girl/face boy's into the cake after the candles have been extinguished. At the very least, they get to try the cake first!

Finding previously unknown organisms in the depths of the ocean may sound like something out of a science fiction horror film, but a 2020 study of a deep-sea volcano near New Zealand, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, uncovered "over 90 putative bacterial and archaeal genomic families and nearly 300 previously unknown genera." Hydrothermal vents, like deep-sea volcanoes, have been connected to the "beginning of life" in certain studies. So, are we seeing the beginnings of future land-dwellers? We'll have to wait and see what happens.

There is a somewhat widespread belief that the Main Belt asteroids represent pieces of a vanished planet. However, this is untrue. The mass of all asteroids, which is barely 4% of the mass of the Moon, is incredibly minuscule on a cosmic scale.

You can clean them in a variety of methods, including using moonlight or sunshine, burying them, or immersing them in water. However, you must be aware of the type of crystal you are working with.

According to history, John Wilkes Booth fled after assassinating Lincoln, but died 12 days later after being shot in the neck. Some say Booth escaped to Texas, where he changed his name to John St. Helen and survived for nearly four decades until dying in 1903. This argument was first proposed in a book called The Escape and Suicide of John Wilkes Booth, published in 1907. Author Finis L. Bates said in it that St. Helen confessed to him around the 1870s, claiming that the assassination was mostly the idea of Vice President Andrew Johnson, who was only picking up some goods for a hidden Booth. Bates, Kathy Bates' grandpa, claimed to have also learned that Booth, now using a different alias, confessed to the crime again in 19
