Considering how fast the car was probably going, and that he had to pedal hard enough that long to overcome it, this is both emotionally and physically impressive to me. This guy is great.
They do a great job of filtering water, but why would you want to eat those nasty things knowing what they've just filtered!
Some time ago, Bored Panda spoke with Lauren McMenemy, a creative coach and London-based writer of gothic-influenced folk horror who shared some very interesting thoughts about people’s fascination with spooky and mysterious things. Whether it’s a Netflix horror show, a gothic novel, or some spine-chilling photographs, there’s something captivating about things that frighten us.
Lauren, who is working on a novel set in the world of the Victorian occult, is no stranger to all things horror and she believes she has some answers. “We are often fascinated by what we do not understand, and curiosity is a big part of the lure of horror and the supernatural,” she said.
She believes that our brain is always trying to rationalize that shadow in the corner, or the mysterious light in the sky. “But often we’re not satisfied by the rational explanation. We crave something more than what’s right in front of us,” the creative coach explained.
This is only a theory. Lots more research needs to be done. Especially since yersinia pestis is a bacterium and hiv is a virus. There is no reason why they should be related. A lot of new theories say that the black death was multiple diseases and one of them may have been a virus that has given people resistance to hiv. Its likely but to call this a fact is just not true yet.
Moreover, “this fascination with the supernatural is a way to be curious about the big questions about life, death and what happens after. It can also provide an escapism from the drudgery - or the chaos, as in recent times! - of everyday life.”
Lauren argues that often, “we’re drawn to scary stories because it’s a way to experience fear in a controlled environment.” In this way, we can put the book down or turn the movie off if it gets too much. “It’s a cathartic way to explore that curiosity without putting ourselves into real and present danger. As Stephen King once said: ‘We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones,’” she said.
There's another one in Pennsylvania that's been burning about as long. Buffy should really get on that one of these days.
When speaking about horror writing, Lauren says that this genre is often misunderstood. “When I say I write horror, I’m often greeted with a raised eyebrow - people assume I am obsessed with slasher movies and want to write the next installment of the Saw franchise, that I love a bit of gore.”
However, that’s far from the case. As a horror writer, Lauren is way more interested in exploring the quieter sides of horror, “especially gothic and folk horror which takes its cues from folklore and traditions.”
Look, we need more details. Was there pizza? Nobody goes to a party without pizza. Also, one experiment is not conclusive evidence!
You are right. Maybe he just throws terrible parties. Time travelers would know this.

For someone so smart, I'm surprised he forgot about causality loops. He sent the invites for an event that happened 'yesterday' meaning he was already on a timeline where no one would be able to turn up except time travellers who would travel back before the current timeline and create a new timeline where we all attended which he caused to happen by looping time back on itself on an already established timeline creating a synchronized parallel timeline. This is also what causes feelings of déjà vu as certain elements of both timelines are matched perfectly and 'cross over' and... oh fu......
If you evolved that line of thought correctly you could plot out a pretty entertaining sci fi best seller fiction novel. Go you

One day after does not provide any evidence, time travel might be possible through some break through 100 or 1000 years from now...
That logic doesn't hold up, because the *knowledge* of the party won't go away. Stephen Hawking's name will always be legendary in the world of physics; human nature doesn't change. Any scientist given the chance to visit someone so pivotal would jump at the chance.

Or it shows that in the future human civilization will deteriorate to such an extent that none of our history and communication will survive. Beings in the future will never have heard of Hawking or know about the date of this party. Maybe they can time travel just fine but don't realize there was this awesome party they could travel back to.
Or he invited the wrong people....or maybe it still will happen. Its is time travel. SH coukd be reliving that party day every day. Just in another dimension. I like to break movies down, like "this could not happen because blah blah" but time travel movies mess with me big time. Just trying to wrap my head around the what ifs. I have watched interstellar dozens of times. Stresses me out.

My best friend's son went to Cambridge University, studying engineering. Scary intelligent boy. He called home to tell his mom all about his new friend Steve who had a wheelchair and told the best jokes. My friend said, "I love you, Son, but you're an idiot!"
This is just stupid. How would he know who was able to time travel? Or when it would happen. Or ... If they gave a c**p about him. Lol
It isn’t too late to the party now, huh? See yall if there’s chips
This will disappear when someone time travels back to the Partie, we just have to wait
The energy requirements for time travel would have to be huge.Comparable to the energy levels of a black hole. That means time travel would be immensely expensive - think in the Billions or Trillions for one trip. Is anyone going to spend that much to attend a party, even if it's with Stephen Hawking?
Maybe he was notorious for his s**t parties? I’d have gone just to meet him, and mock his lack of dips.
I'm confused. How did he know that he sent the invitations to time travellers? Also, if I was throwing a party and had sent out actual invites, I would have put RSVP on them. Do it proper, like, sheesh.
1 what. 2 why? 3 doesn’t work 4 they don’t want u to know they can time travel.
This is true. But I think he just sent the message to the wrong people - those who were not his friends. My future self comes back to me all the time, but when I tell the doctor, they put me back in a straight jacket. How did Stephen Hawking get away with it?
From what I've read, he had a wickedly funny sense of humor.
This is not the full story. Time travel could be possible, but only after a time machine was invented
"Proves" nothing. Part of the romance of science is that is changes depending on the proof we find when it is actually exists. We just don't have all the info at that time.
We are all time travellers. Only we go forwards in time, at the same rate that time passes and we never travel backwards.
They RSVP'd but he didn't get the message in time. They another function to attend.
Recently shown possibly wrong. Someone recently showed mathematical proof that if you time travelled back in time and killed your parents before your birth, you wouldn't pull a McFly and start vanishing: you would just be birthing a new timeline; one in which you have no clear origin point, but still. Point is we have no way of knowing if they showed up. It would've been in another timeline.
It's very possible that time travelers did arrive but convinced him not to reveal their existence. We're obviously not ready to know that time travel is real
No he didn’t believe that. There’s no way to know if history would record his time travel Party long enough for time travelers to discover it. Not only that, time travel does exist. It’s past time travel that we’re more unsure of. Although, we do have some evidence of such with sub atomic particles.
Helen Marlo, a licensed clinical psychologist and Jungian psychoanalyst and a Professor of Clinical Psychology and the Department Chair at Notre Dame de Namur University, also told Bored Panda in a previous interview that most of us are painfully aware that darkness, what some call evil, exists.
“We may satisfy some human, psychological needs when we engage with it through the news, movies, or documentaries,” she said.
Marlo argues that “when watching another story, and in particular, these dark and traumatic stories, we witness another person’s narrative. Narrating one’s own story, especially if we have a story that includes trauma, is emotional and hard.” Meanwhile, “watching another’s story can give us a sense of gaining understanding or relief for ‘free,’ because we are hearing about another’s story but not doing any of the hard, psychological work to create our own story.”
Marlo explained that “it is a little like someone who reads a self-help book and imagines they will get better by reading about another person’s process. This is especially true if the story that we are fixated on has personal or traumatic meaning for us.”
I remember watching on TV at the time, as he lay slumped on the stage, the curtains were drawn quickly, and the adverts started, with no notice at all, which i thought was weird.. I found later on, next day in the papers he has died.. He was a great showman, and sorely missed...
I believe Netflix has a documentary. It was fascinating and I’m still on the fence if he faked it or was real.
Moreover, becoming immersed in another’s dark story can be a vicarious version of what psychologists call, ‘identification with the aggressor.’ “Rather than being the victim, one identifies with the aggressor and their story, and can displace unthinkable, dark impulses onto the person they are viewing, who may be doing things they may not be able to think about but wish to do.”
Marlo explained that “they may also feel more powerful, safer, strong, dominant, and in control by viewing another doing unthinkable things but they are watching and don’t have to act it out in their real life where it would have negative consequences internally and externally.”
Venomous* If it bites you and you die, it’s venomous If you bite it and you die, its poisonous.
Proof the education system and the evaluation system for our education needs some work done Edit:thx everyone for the insightful replies...thinking about what everyone said...it makes alot of sense but i dont think i expressed my view in clear detail..although i wholeheartedly agree that it could also be the parents fault,stupidity or even the individual suffering mental illness...but what I mean when I say needs evaluation is that considering it was a teenager he should be more aware of what he is doing,if the teen was "stupid" then it is a different case but considering the age factor and the fact that most teenagers are actually aware of the fact that such substances are dangerous and the movies are based off pure fiction..also i would like to clarify that this would be in the case of it being an individual who is receiving education...i also agree that proof maybe a strong word but during my thought process it was more like an example on why the system should be reevaluated
Out of curiosity, why would you take a photo of your murdered husbands glasses?
Quick research: the sources are scarce and it's doubted that it's more than a myth
So many false 'facts' and narratives on this- why doesn't BP do some research before copy/pasting?
dear bored panda staff: THIS IS THE KIND OF CONTENT I WANT, POST CREEPY FACTS MORE OFTEN>:D
Anything without references and with bad grammar, in my book, can be disregarded. Rule #1 of fake news: if it's super exciting, it is probably fake.
