Can Your Gut Instinct Predict Future Accurately?

We all have heard about 'Gut Instinct' or 'Second Brain' in our body. People often tell you to trust you gut instinct. But what exactly is it and how accurate is your gut instinct? Let's find out.
Do you ever find yourself in a situation and there is a spontaneous thought, the voice in your head tells you to back off? A sudden anxiety and tension right before you receive some bad news? These feelings are often caused by your gut, not your brain. The 'Enteric Nervous System' is responsible for the control and communication of the entire gastrointestinal system. It is a larger group of neurons and nerves that can actually act as a second brain.

A normal Human brain processes about 400 billion bits of information every second. But our conscious mind doesn't really use all these information. But our brain and our enteric nervous system together can make really accurate prediction of the immediate future. If the prediction is going to have a negative impact, anxiety kicks in. The gut contains about 75% of the neurotransmitter called 'Seretonin' which affects our emotions.
So, can we just start predicting the future of everything that we are going to face in our lives? 'No' is the answer to that. Because for the gut instincts to be more accurate, the person must have some knowledge of the situation that they are dealing with. The gut doesn't blindly give out a prediction. It's actually an educated guess based on the numerous data that your conscious mind ignored before because it was focusing on the present moment.  So, trusting your gut is most probably the good way to deal with certain situations of your life.

This shrimp is famous for its super punch and its complex eye structure. It's eyes are so good that it can have a full 360 view all the time and it's eyes have more than three times the amount of photo-receptors that a human have. It also has spectacular depth receptors to pin point the exact position of the prey so that it can deliver the perfect punch. Now let's talk about the world's fastest punch this tiny creature can deliver. The punch is so fast that it accelerates at the same speed as that of a 22 caliber bullet. The punch reaches around 45-50 miles per hour in just 3 milliseconds. A saddle shaped part of its exoskeleton which acts similar to a spring boosts the strike speed generated by the muscles.The punch is impossible to see by normal human eyes. We will need high s...

Can a Large Mass of Water Extinguish The Sun ?!!

What can extinguish the sun..? We know water can put out fire. So, what if we manage to bring up a considerably huge mass of water to the sun and drop it there successfully? What will happen? Let's see an approximate amount of energy that reaches the earth from the sun. The earth itself gets about one hundred and seventy trillion kilowatts of energy from the sun in a single day. But is this nowhere near the actual amount that the sun gives out. The sun disburses energy which is two billion times of what we receive at our planet.  All these energy is given out to the outer space. So, let's see what will happen if we drop huge mass of water on sun. In order to know about the outcome, we first need to know how water helps put out fire down here at earth. The fire needs a fuel for its existance and when water breaks the supply of combustable fuel, it gets extinguished. But in the case of sun, its not normal fire that we are talking about. The source of energy in the sun is ...
