This Grandma's Doorstop Turned Out to Be Worth Insane Money

Imagine using a random rock as a doorstop for decades, only to find out it’s worth a fortune! That’s exactly what happened to a grandma who kept a heavy chunk of metal by her door to keep it open. One day, out of curiosity, she had it checked out by a geologist—and surprise—it was actually a rare meteorite! 🌠 Turns out, this “rock” had traveled billions of miles through space before landing on Earth. Scientists were thrilled because it held valuable clues about the universe, and collectors wanted to pay a jaw-dropping amount for it. The best part? Grandma went from a cool story to a huge payday overnight! 💸 Credit: Chris Taylor / YouTube Norfolk On Film / YouTube Antiques Roadshow PBS / YouTube Pawn Stars / YouTube Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD...

Time. Tick tock. We live only a tiny fraction of time that our planet has been around for. Even humanity itself is very young. But life span is a really relative term: there are creatures on our planet that live much shorter lives than us humans, and those who outlive all of us by far… while some are close to immortality. See for yourself. Mayfly has the shortest lifespan on Earth — 24 hours or less. Greenland shark lives over 270 years. It's the longest-living vertebrate. But there are creatures who live over 2,000 years or even... forever! Yup, one of them is biologically immortal. It can go back to being polyp and grow up again infinitely...

Here’s a list of the most effective ways for searching Google to help you find anything in just a couple of clicks. Try these 15 simple methods to search Google for the information! Either this or that 1:07 Searching using synonyms 1:57 Searching within websites 2:40 The power of the asterisk 3:21 When lots of words are missing 3:55 Using a number range 4:38 Searching for a title or URL 5:22 Finding similar websites 5:44 Whole phrases 6:11 Unimportant search words 6:58 Searching for images using images 7:17 Defining words and learning where they come from 7:51 Finding a specific file 8:35 Using Google as a spell checker 9:06 Tracking your packages 9:33 Bonus trick 10:00 SUMMARY Google search is not only a powerful search tool but also the best friend for millions of people. It is always there for you (except for those times when you have no Internet connection – scary), and can help you with anything. It will find the lyrics to that song you heard on the radio but only got “you, me, forever, rain,” share the recipe for the most delicious pie and recommend the best restaurant around. Students can’t go without it, and it is the key source of information for most adults, too. Simply put in a couple of potential variations of what you’re looking for, and separate them by typing the “|” symbol. Instead of this symbol, you can also use “or.” If you need to find websites on a given subject rather than those that include a specific phrase, add the “~” symbol to your search. Sometimes you read an interesting article on a website and find yourself subsequently wanting to share it with your friends or simply reread it. The easiest way to find the desired piece of information again is to search within the website. To do this, type the address of the site, then a keyword or entire phrase from the article, and it should come up immediately. When your cunning memory decides not to let us remember that one keyword, phrase, or number we need to find what we’re looking for, you can turn to the powerful "*" symbol. Just use it in the place of the word/phrase you can’t remember, and you should be able to find the results you’re looking for. If it’s the lengthier half of the phrase you can’t remember rather than a single keyword, try writing out the first and last words and putting “AROUND + (the approximate number of missing words)“ between them. If we want to find out about scientific discoveries during the 20th century, we can write: scientific discoveries 1900…2000. Yes, it is easy like that. It also works with other numbers. BONUS You did some hard work learning to use Google like a pro, so now it’s time to play. If you search Atari Breakout on Google Images, the famous brick breaker will start right there. Enjoy it!

Digging holes in the sand might seem like harmless fun, but it can actually be really dangerous if the hole is deep. If the sand collapses on someone, it's super hard to escape because sand is heavy and dense. Research even shows that more people die from being trapped and suffocating in sand than from shark attacks! Unlike snow, which is lighter and gives you a chance to make an air pocket if you're trapped, sand doesn't allow that. Once it falls on you, it’s nearly impossible to move. So next time you're at the beach, be careful with those deep holes! #brightside Credit: Carybdea Civitavecchia: By Alessandro Sabucci, CC BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/..., https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...

The solar system is vast and full of mystery, and even the people who have explored it don’t know exactly what’s out there. But the sun has never been disputed. Nevertheless, the center of our universe won’t always be there. The timeline for its demise is a long way off, but could anything be done to make it happen sooner? Could pouring a glass of water on the sun extinguish it? TIMESTAMPS: What the sun is composed of 1:07 What will happen with the sun in 5 billion years 2:39 How we could extend our survival by millions of years 4:00 What the huge glass of water would actually do with the sun 4:33 What would be the result 5:34 What would happen if we don’t pour that huge glass of water onto the sun 6:51 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... SUMMARY: The sun is a star, and it’s the center of our universe. It’s composed of 74.9% hydrogen and 23.8% helium, with the remaining 1.3% belonging to the heavier metals of oxygen, carbon, neon, and iron. Right now, the sun is about halfway through the main sequence of its evolution. Astronomers think that the sun gets about 1% brighter every 100 million years. As the sun burns brighter and gets bigger, it will eventually turn into a red giant. The sun has enough mass and currently produces enough energy to burn for a total of 10 billion years. But after 6 billion years, hydrogen fuel will run out. On Earth, combustion needs fuel, air, and heat to occur. We use water to put fires out because they can’t burn through the coating of water over their fuel. But there’s no air in space, and water can’t stop the thermonuclear reactions that cause the sun to burn. So really we’ve just gathered all that water and brought it to the sun only for it to be burned as well. Our huge glass of water would actually make the sun get hotter and burn 6 times brighter. Pouring our gigantic glass of water onto the sun won’t extinguish it, but it will actually create a whole new sun! How cool is that? This new sun, with an even greater mass than our current one, will produce exponentially more energy for us to live off. If we don’t bring that huge glass of water into outer space and pour it onto the sun, then it will continue its thermonuclear fusion and stay on its projected path of destruction as planned.
