It’s possible that Venus and Earth once simultaneously existed as pleasant worlds hosting mild temperatures and oceans. In new research, planetary scientists simulated how Venusian conditions today — with pizza oven-like temperatures, a crushing atmosphere, and past evidence of widespread volcanism — came to be. The results suggest that Venus, over a series of massive volcanic outgassing events and other geologic changes, transitioned from an Earth-like world to the hellish land we see today. Even the longest-lived robot sent to Venus survived for just two hours. “It’s hot enough to melt lead,” Matthew Weller, a planetary geophysicist at Rensselaer Polytechnic…

The story in this sequel season showed protagonist Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) taking part in the dreaded Squid Games again in his quest to end to the inhumane contest once and for all. Though Gi-hun may have had enough of this barbaric tournament, the show’s massive amount of viewers on streaming has proven that people can’t get enough of Squid Game. Though some fans may be too anxious to wait for Squid Game 3, they can watch several other films and shows like it in the meantime.

For several years now, rumors have swirled that Nokia would be leaving the phone space. The iconic company, most known for the jokes around its supposedly indestructible phones, has struggled to maintain its presence in the smartphone market.
