Saint Benedict Joseph Labre lived a poor life in the ruins of the Colosseum. To the uneducated eye, he appeared to be a pitiable figure, but the people of Rome saw him as a saint. He was known as the beggar of Rome.

His maps and historical newspaper clippings relating to his work attest not only to his mastery of the form but the value of panoramic maps in instilling civic pride.

Read MoreIf parallel universes exist, then there is at least one way to get to a place that is different from our reality. So far, the existence of parallel universes is mostly associated with science fiction. But there are scientific theories that suggest that other universes exist. If so, how can we get there? Physicist Paul Sutter believes that such a possibility exists, but it is a very difficult journey, writes Space. Theories suggesting the existence of parallel worlds The existence of parallel universes is suggested by at least two well-known theories in physics. One of them is called the inflation…

Read MoreLike many people, Saint Charles of Sezze thought he knew what God wanted, only to find out that he was mistaken. Instead of going to India as a missionary, Saint Charles settled in Rome where he cooked and cared for the friary and friary chapel. While being simple, Saint Charles was no simpleton as is obvious from his life story.
Read MoreScientists have discovered a huge spiral galaxy with an ordered structure in the early universe, but cannot explain how it grew so big so quickly. Using the Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered a spiral galaxy with an ordered structure about 32,000 light years in diameter. It existed 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang. But galaxies in the early universe are lumpier and lack an ordered structure. So this discovery has stumped astronomers. The study was published on the preprint server arXiv, Live Science writes. Astronomers have discovered an unexpectedly large, well-ordered spiral galaxy in the early universe, 32,000…

Read MoreIf life is a highway, one song bravely asserts, then I want to ride it all night long. And I find that to be incredibly true. You never know what twists and turns your life is likely to make, but you can be prepared to steer your steering wheel. You may not know that there’s a hard left coming up, but you can ride with a loose grip and a sense of control. The road is not always full of familiar faces, either. Sometimes the road is paved with unknowns, and the only one you can rely on is yourself.
But there’s a kind of companion that will never leave your side, no matter how wavy the way gets. Memes will always be here for you. To act as your North Star when you get lost, to be your road buddy, to let you know that it’s not all lonely out there.

Read MoreScientists are uncertain whether cosmic strings exist, but if they do, these mysterious structures could revolutionize our understanding of the universe—and even make time travel possible. If physicists can confirm the existence of cosmic strings, they may pave the way to achieving the “Holy Grail” of physics: a unified theory that combines quantum mechanics with Einstein’s general theory of relativity. Beyond this, cosmic strings could hold the key to bending spacetime and enabling time travel. Theoretical models suggest cosmic strings are extraordinarily thin, far smaller than the nucleus of an atom, yet immensely massive—equivalent to tens of thousands of stars.…

Read MoreIn the words of the inimitable Rhett and Link, “Everything’s okay, ’cause I’m on vacation.” It’s a time for you to relax, unwind, and forget about those thousands of unread emails in your inbox. They’re not for right now. Right now is for a piña colada and a juicy novel. Or whatever your version of that is, which might be a Guinness and a hike in the Cliffs of Moher. Or a cappuccino and an Italian piazza. Or simply a glass of water and a bad Lifetime movie.
Whatever your preferred mode of relaxation may be, I hope you get it. Humans need rest in order to survive. We need something to look forward to so we can get out of bed in the morning. We need a reason to book a flight and get the heck out of Dodge. And we need memes to look at while we’re waiting to board our plane.
Scientists from Charisma University in the Turks and Caicos Islands have proposed a bold hypothesis that during dreams, human consciousness may transcend the boundaries of space and time, opening doors to alternative realities. In their recent paper, they suggest that dreams are not merely reflections of our daily lives, but may also act as guides to parallel worlds, connecting us with other versions of ourselves. While dreams are traditionally seen as mirrors of our desires, fears, and experiences, these researchers offer a deeper interpretation. “Dreams may be windows into distinct realities governed by their laws, in which the mind, unfettered…

Read MoreThis traveling businessman had had enough of their silly company policy because after a 14-hour shift and with no motivation to go out to a restaurant, this worker pointed out the flaws in his micromanager’s meal reimbursement rules.
If you’ve ever traveled for work, you know it’s no vacation.
Somehow, traveling employees end up working egregiously long hours, awaiting micromanager’s orders, and eating takeout for every meal. While this is a dream for some, it’s a nightmare for homebodies and anyone who enjoys a home-cooked meal every now and then. But when the guy in this next story, a businessman out of the country for work, got home from a terribly long day, all he wanted was a simple meal delivered to his hotel room. Per company policy, and because he had a helicopter manager, the guy was forbidden to order room service–no matter what!
So instead of paying out of pocket, the employee played out his patience on a long-distance phone call, waiting for 10 minutes on hold for his micromanager to approve a single meal reimbursement, accruing an insane amount of cellular fees for the sake of proving a point. Keep scrolling for this delicious compliance that ended in an exhausted worker getting to put his feet up for a change on an out-of-town shift.
