The study indicated that if microbial life once existed on Mars, its chemical traces might still be hidden beneath the planet’s icy surface. Pure ice, researchers found, can preserve organic material for 10 million years, potentially long enough for future human missions to uncover it.

A Martian scandal: Niger wants the $5million Mars rock, biggest  ever seen on Earth, back. What do the laws say?

One of the continents on Earth is moving, drifting towards another and will collide with it. This would lead to the formation of a new supercontinent, which would lead to chaos everywhere. Earthquakes will be triggered and volcanoes will erupt when the violence ensues.

From Pangea to brutal Amasia: Earth stares at its next mega continental mash-up

The world's oldest pyramid might not have been built by humans at all. In Gunung Padang, Indonesia, this pyramid was reportedly constructed as far back as 25,000 BC, when even agriculture didn't exist. Another expert pans this theory, saying no one built it, and it was a natural occurrence.
