Is the multiverse real?
Many people question the reality we live in. There would be no question you’ve probably asked yourself if there are other universes out there. If you haven’t found a real answer, that’s because there really isn’t one.

Why are meteorites able to burn in space?
Why are meteorites able to burn in space? The sky and earth are vast, mysterious, and desirable. As we all know, there are countless galaxies in the universe, and our solar system is just one of them. As the planet of intelligent life in the solar system, the Earth was born at the beginning of mankind, and after millions of years of evolution and growth, today's mankind has embarked on the road of rapid technological development, stepped out of the Earth and started to explore the universe.

Mercury's metal content is up to 70%, which could be mined by humans for a long time
The development of civilization is inseparable from resources, and without the support of abundant resources, human science and technology could not have made great development. In a short span of more than 200 years, human beings were able to achieve a great leap in science and technology, which is closely related to the abundant metal resources on the earth.

How was the Earth formed?
Scientists have detected more than 5,000 planets beyond our solar system, and it is estimated that at least 25 percent of the stars have planets. However, astronomers have yet to definitively find an Earth-like planet with life. The history of Earth's formation and composition has been an unsolved human puzzle. Recent studies have found that the Earth's current, the recent composition would not be entirely consistent if it were composed of only the most primitive rocky meteorites. The chemical composition of the Earth's crust has changed over time due to the numerous impacts of smaller rocky bodies.
