THE 5 CATEGORIES HURRICANES ARE SEPARATED INTO

Hurricane Harvey strikes the state of Texas, USA... Winds blowing at more than 170km/h and important floodings have provoked a lot of damage in buildings and 5 dead. Weather Channel explains the effects of the different categories of hurricanes.

Floodings that can make your living room become a lake, even with its fishes...

... Or your neighbor's pickup truck into a motorboat...

ABU DHABI POLICE ARE ALREADY LIVING IN 2050

Abu Dhabi Police just unveiled their latest patrol vehicle at Gitex Global 2024, and it looks like something straight out of the future: the Magnum MK1, an autonomous, armored, drone-equipped 4x4.

This cutting-edge vehicle is primarily electric but also has hybrid petrol support. It can reach speeds up to 150 km/h, accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.4 seconds, and is bulletproof against ammunition up to 7.62 mm. It carries three officers and securely transports one detainee in a specially designed internal cell.

Among its most advanced features are integrated systems for audio, video, and vital-sign monitoring, autonomous off-road navigation, radio and cellular communication capabilities, surveillance drones, infrared cameras providing 360-degree vision, specialized lighting, advanced geolocation, anti-jamming protection, and even an internal workstation with a panoramic screen to manage operations directly from the vehicle.

This futuristic patrol car will be fully manufactured in Abu Dhabi and is expected to hit the roads officially by 2028—a real leap into the future for Emirati law enforcement.

HEROES WITHOUT CAPES

Not everyone reacts the same way to danger. Some freeze, others think about their own safety before taking action. But there are those who, without a second thought, throw themselves into danger when someone else is at risk.

The storm had turned the road into a raging river, and a car with a family inside was trapped in the current. The water was rising fast, the pressure against the vehicle increasing, and time was running out.

That’s when he sprang into action—without a thought for his own safety. He could have been swept away, he could have gotten trapped, but none of that crossed his mind. Only the children and their mother mattered. Just seconds after getting the entire family to safety, the car was swallowed by the current and dragged away.

THE WORLD'S FIRST FACTORY WHERE ALL WORKERS ARE HUMANOID ROBOTS

If the factories of the future are fully automated, like Zeekr’s in China, where humanoid robots do all the work, a big question arises: how will private companies make money if people aren’t working, don’t have incomes, and therefore can’t buy what those factories produce? Right now, the system works because workers earn a salary and spend it, but if robots take over everything, that cycle breaks.

The most talked-about solution is universal basic income, a kind of state-funded allowance so people can live without working. But here comes another paradox: if you get paid just for existing, what incentive is there to strive for more? Some might work to earn extra and improve their lifestyle, but those who rely solely on basic income will become the new poor. They won’t lack the essentials, but they won’t be able to aspire to anything more either. It would be like a modern-day rationing system—you can survive with the basics, but not really live well.

And here’s the key point: in any society, there will always be an elite. If factory owners lose control of the money because no one can afford to buy their products, the state will take over, deciding who gets what and under what conditions. Those who manage this system will become the new gods of Olympus, controlling everything while the rest simply depend on them. Whether it’s through big corporations or an all-powerful state, there will always be a few who hold the reins while the rest rely on whatever they decide.

So, who should govern us—the private sector or the state?

Neither one in absolute terms. If the private sector holds all the power, the relentless pursuit of profit could turn people into mere cogs in a machine designed to enrich the few. But trusting the state blindly isn’t the answer either, because history has shown that when bureaucrats and politicians take full control, things often slide into communist models that fail, suffocating individual freedom and crushing innovation.

The only viable path is balance. The private sector must continue driving progress, technology, and advancements in healthcare, education, and science—thanks to competition and financial incentives. But the state, as the voice of the people, must ensure that progress doesn’t come at the cost of our freedom or dignity. A system where innovation moves forward, but with enough oversight to prevent anyone from becoming a slave to it.

THE NEW PANGEA

vikingo
There is a geological theory suggesting that in about 200-300 million years, the movement of tectonic plates will once again merge the current continents into a supercontinent, similar to what happened with Pangea around 300 million years ago.

This concept is part of the supercontinent cycle, where landmasses drift apart and reunite over hundreds of millions of years due to continental drift. Geologists have proposed several possible scenarios for this future supercontinent, with some of the most discussed being:

Pangea Proxima: A supercontinent that would form in the same region as the ancient Pangea.
Novopangea: Would emerge if the Atlantic continues to expand while the Pacific closes, pushing continents into a new union pattern.
Aurica: Would form if the Indian Ocean disappears and the current continents shift toward the equator.
Amasia: In this scenario, North America and Asia would merge near the North Pole.

Although this is an extremely slow process, scientists can predict it by measuring the movement of tectonic plates. So, if the planet is still standing in 250 million years, we might once again have a single continent.
