A giant meteorite that crashed into the Earth made extinct dinosaurs and this apocalyptic perspective still an obsession with humanity.The frightening thing is that this catastrophe almost became a reality on April 14, 2018 when the meteorite GE3 moved in an extremely close position to the Earth, only 192,317 km - shorter than half of the planet's half distance. us and the moon.With an estimated diameter of 28 - 110m, this meteorite is thought to be the largest object moving close to Earth.

Dr. Yoshihiro Kawaoka has conducted a study to transform the H5N1 avian influenza virus into a virus strain capable of fighting the human immune system.The frightening thing is that this scientist almost completed the research process before it was terminated due to concerns about the health impacts of all humanity.

In 2011, a research team after examining the observations of Mexican astronomer José Bonilla discovered an incredibly scary truth from his photographs. It turns out that among unidentified objects beyond the space that Bonilla observed, a comet equivalent to 1 billion tons of explosives is located only 8,000 kilometers from Earth, not even the width of Russia.

Few people suspect that tiny organisms like bacteria have almost caused humanity to be wiped out when Klebsiella Planticola creates a genetically modified bacterium that can cause plants to be wiped out massively if they are replicated. .Imagine if all plants disappear, not only humans but all creatures on this planet will perish.

The famine after the eruption also killed 80,000 people and in 1816 was named "year without summer".

Many creatures were nearly erased 195,000 - 123.00 years ago by a natural phenomenon called Marine Isotope Stage 6 (marine oxygen isotope stage 6) - marine oxygen isotope periods determined based on isotope data Oxygen is reflected in temperature curves according to deep sea core sample data.This phenomenon causes the temperature on our planet to fluctuate greatly, when it is too hot and when it is too cold.

Back in ancient Egypt , smallpox was the nightmare of mankind.Until the modern period, only in the 20th century, 500 million people died of this disease.Previously, it had almost eliminated the Native Americans when 90-95% of people died of smallpox.Fortunately, by 1980, WHO declared that the disease had been wiped out, all thanks to the vaccine.
