Earth : 7 Billion Years From Now An Epic Story

I originally found this awesome bit of work put together in GIF format, but decided to break it down frame by frame to allow you to read it at your own pace. Epic is such a cliche phrase to use, but I honestly can’t think of another word to describe this. I Wonder how or if the human race will survive to be able to witness the end of our great planet?

 

 

Amazing Astronomy Facts.

• When you look at the Andromeda galaxy (which is 2.3 million light years away), the light you are seeing took 2.3 million years to reach you. Thus you are seeing the galaxy as it was 2.3 million years ago.
• Light from the sun takes 8 minutes to reach you, thus you see the sun as it was 8 minutes ago. It might have blown up 4 minutes ago and you wouldn't know about it!
• The Earth is not a sphere! It actually is an oblate spheroid, it is squashed slightly at the poles and bulges out at the equator due to its rotation.
• When Galileo viewed Saturn for the first time through a telescope, he described the planet as having "ears". It was not until 1655 that Christian Huygens suggested the crazy theory that they might be an enormous set of rings around the planet.
• If you could put Saturn in an enormous bathtub, it would float. The planet is less dense than water.
• A teaspoon-full of Neutron star would weigh about 112 million tonnes.
• Jupiter is heavier than all the other planets put together.
• Even on the clearest night, the human eye can only see about 3,000 stars. There are an estimated 100,000,000,000 in our galaxy alone!
• The tallest mountain in the solar system is Olympus Mons, on Mars at a height of about 15 miles, three times the height of Mount Everest. It covers an area about half the size of Spain.
• If the sun were the size of a dot on an ordinary-sized letter 'i', then the nearest star would be 10 miles away.
• Half-a-billionth of the energy released by the sun reaches the Earth
• Temperatures on Venus are hot enough to melt lead.
• If you could travel at the speed of light (186,000 miles per second) it would take 100,000 years to cross our galaxy!
• Only one side of the moon ever faces Earth. The moons period of rotation is exactly the same as it's period of orbit.
• If you stand on the equator, you are spinning at about 1,000 mph in as the Earth turns, as well as charging along at 67,000 mph round the sun.
• On the equator you are about 3% lighter than at the poles, due to the centrifugal force of the Earth spinning.
• The atmosphere on Earth is proportionately thinner than the skin on an apple.
• On Mercury a day (the time it takes for it to spin round once) is 59 Earth-days. Its year (the time it takes to orbit the sun) is 88 days- that means there are fewer than 2 days in a year!
• If a piece of the sun the size of a pinhead were to be placed on Earth, you could not safely stand within 90 miles of it!
• Its estimated that the number of stars in the universe is greater than the number of grains of sand on all the beaches in the world! On a clear night, we can see the equivalent of a handful of sand.
• Every year the sun evaporates 100,000 cubic miles of water from Earth (that weighs 400 trillion tonnes!)
• Jupiter acts as a huge vacuum cleaner, attracting and absorbing comets and meteors. Some estimates say that without Jupiters gravitational influence the number of massive projectiles hitting Earth would be 10,000 times greater.
• Astronomers believe that space is not a complete vacuum- there are three atoms per cubic metre.
• Saturn is not the only planet with rings- Neptune has it's own ring system.

Photoshop amazing (secret) trick.

I am super stoked to share this knowledge.
This one is a Jedi level trick. It is a secret, until now, known only to a few.
After you bust the learning curve on a few simple steps you will be able to turn something like this...



into something like this........... in about one minute using only the Free Transform Tool.


Crazy, huh?

1 - Open a new document.

2 - Create/Import an element you would like to fractalize on a new layer. For this
tutorial I am using a Xavi designed symbol that Phong built in 3D Studio Max for
the pod site. Place the element in the upper left hand corner so that it has room to spiral.

3 - Learning the hot keys for the Free Transform tool is the only way to make this technique flow properly.
So, on the layer that contains the element Free Transform Copy (Control/Alt T or Command/Option T for Mac).
Once the Transform square appears around your element hold Alt/Shift or Option/Shift and scale it down a hair.
Holding those keys maintains the aspect ratio of the element during scaling.


After that step grab the center crosshairs in the middle of the square and move it
down and to the right. Then rotate the element as shown in the image below. Now hit Return.

This will give you a new layer with the changes you have made. Now for the fun part!

4 - Hold down Control/AltShift or Command/Option/Shift and hit T.
Continue to hold down those three keys and hit T as fast as you can.
Why fast? Cause it's more fun! The gif below shows what will happen.

The tool remembers the math and continues to do the same
scaling and rotation to each successive layer. Muy powerful!

5 - Turn off the background layer by clicking the eye and merge visible (Control/Shift E or Command/Shift E).

6 - Turn background back on.

7 - Click on your spiral layer and duplicate it (Control J or Command J)
Then turn off the bottom one so you can use it some other time... could come in handy.
I usually save every step in this way so that I can go back and re do anything that doesn't
work to my liking. The same holds true for the steps that are coming up.

8 - Highlight top spiral layer, and scale it down. You may rotate it or flip it horizontally if desired.

9 - Now use the spiral you have created to make another spiral. Do this by using steps 3-6.


10 - Once you have the new hybrid spiral as one layer set the layer property to Lighten.
Most hot keys work best when the Lasso tool is active. So to avoid menu hunting hit L to
choose the Lasso tool then Alt/Shift G or Option/Shift G to change the layer Property to Lighten.

11 - Put your spiral in the upper lefthand corner of the canvas and Free Transform Copy (Control/Alt T
or Command/Option T). When tool appears right click and select Flip Horizontal, then hit return and slide the
copied, flipped spiral to the right until the shape pleases your eye or fills the horizontal space of the canvas.
Hold down the SHIFT key as you do this to keep both pieces level on the same horizontal plane.


12 - Merge layer down (Contol E or Command E).

13 - Free Transform Copy, right click, Flip Vertically, slide new layer down to desired spot and Merge down.


14 - Free Transform Copy, right click, Rotate 90 dregrees either direction and Merge Down.

After darkening the new fractal:ness with Curves (Control M or Command M) and hitting it
with a little Glamour Layer action it looks like this.


This is just a scratch on the surface of the magical Free Transform Tool.
Using different layer properties, opacities and generally experimenting like crazy
yields infinite results and can make hours of your day/night disappear in the blink of your third eye.

Create unlimited disposable email addresses with Gmail

If you add dots (.) between the letters of your Gmail username, sending an message to the new username will get forwarded to your original email (which is without or with only 1 dot.) For example:

It doesn’t matter how many dots you’ll add between your username, all of the emails sent will go to your original email. Gmail provides another great explanation:
Gmail doesn’t recognize dots as characters within usernames, you can add or remove the dots from a Gmail address without changing the actual destination address; they’ll all go to your inbox, and only yours. In short:

• homerjsimpson@gmail.com = hom.er.j.sim.ps.on@gmail.com
• homerjsimpson@gmail.com = HOMERJSIMPSON@gmail.com
• homerjsimpson@gmail.com = Homer.J.Simpson@gmail.com

All these addresses belong to the same person. You can see this if you try to sign in with your username, but adding or removing a dot from it. You’ll still go to your account.
Why is this helpful? Let’s say you want to sign up for a particular newsletter but you’re afraid of spam. Then you can modify your email with the dots so in case you start getting unwanted messages, you can use Gmail filters and send every message your ‘new’ email receives to spam directly.

How people used to imagine vehicles of the future.

Hi fellas,
Here, I am gonna show you some grat pics which will show you the imaginations of people for vehicles..
Enjoy the pics.

Have fun..
