Neighbor calls the cops on two little girls selling lemonade — but she picked the wrong officer

A lemonade stand? Well, there is truly something magical behind the freshly squeezed lemons sold around the neighborhood.

Handing out cups of ice-cold lemonade on a sunny day is a memory stitched into childhood, and honestly, it’s not really about the drink itself but about the giggles, the “buy one, get one free” deals made on a whim, and the pride of earning some money on your own.

Two sisters, six and nine years old, created some hand-made signs, bought a bunch of fresh lemons, and set up a stand next to their home. Wearing matching shirts and crocks, with some music playing in the background, they hoped to have some fun time and make some money.

Many neighbors were eager to stop by and buy some lemonade from them. But one particular woman, who spotted the girls while driving in her SUV, didn’t like the idea of the sisters selling drinks on the corner and called the police, claiming they were “working” without a permit.

When a police officer arrived at the stand, the sisters froze in fear. They believed they were in trouble, but the officer knew better than to close their stand down.

Instead, he bought a cup of the cold drink they were selling and told them he could help them get the permit they needed.

Before that, he walked across the street and knocked on the SUV lady’s door. She opened it with a smug smile, until he let her have it. Calm, clear, and loud enough for the whole neighborhood.

The girls were over the moon by the officer’s act and shared with him that their dad had recently lost his job and they were trying to help him until he figured things out.

It didn’t take long before the story spread around, and the community answered the best they could. The woman from the local bakery offered them free muffins and cookies that they could sell on their stand, and their father was offered a job at the nearby convenience store.

What’s more, the story of kindness and generosity quickly became a source of inspiration for the whole town.

As for the woman who reported the sisters to the police? Well, she soon realized she had acted unreasonably. In fact, she even bought some lemonade and left the girls a generous tip along with a note that read, “Sorry for the rough start. Good luck girls.”

So, next time you come across a child selling lemonade, don’t just walk by but pause and buy a cup. Better yet, get two. Your small gesture can not only change their day, but their life too.

Pregnant woman relentlessly harassed by a K9 dog

The Houston International Airport was as crowded as ever with people rushing to catch their flights. And then, in the middle of the crowd, Shadow, an experienced German Shepherd K9 trained to detect hazards, started barking at a woman waiting in the long queue. She was 7 months pregnant and frightened by the dog’s reaction.

Officers asked her to step forward. They conducted a thorough search of her belongings, but nothing was out of the ordinary. Yet, Shadow wouldn’t stop sniffing her and barking at her.

The officers were confused and contemplated their next move. Should they let the woman go?

She was heavily pregnant and the entire situation made her upset and uncomfortable.

And then, just as they decided to let her go, Agent Grant remembered that Shadow was trained as medical alert service dog. Was there something wrong with this woman?

Just to be sure, he explained to her that he wanted to call the emergency services to check on her. Although she hesitated at first, the woman eventually agreed.

To everyone’s surprise, the medics discovered uterine rupture, which is a serious and rare childbirth complication where the muscle wall of the uterus tears.

The woman was quickly rushed to the nearby hospital where she gave birth prematurely.

Her baby was still tiny and placed in an incubator, but luckily, both he and his mother were fine.

That day, Shadow saved two lives. His strong senses allowed him to detect that something wasn’t right with that woman’s child.

Dogs have up to 300 million scent receptors and are able to detect chemicals or changes in body odor caused by diseases or other medical emergencies.

A few days after the incident, Shadow and Agent Grant paid the woman a visit at the hospital where she and the staff gave an appreciative “thank you” to Shadow in a brightly lit hospital ward.

Viewers can’t get enough: Netflix’s 100% rated series racks up 142.9 million hours

It turns out there’s a Netflix series with a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score that viewers have only just discovered.

The truth is, the platform offers so much content that choosing the right film or series is often easier said than done. I’m sure you’ve found yourself scrolling through the endless list, unsure how to spend your free time and wondering whether a title is truly worth a try.

This series, however, has quickly become a fan favorite, with many stumbling upon it purely by chance.

Although originally released on CBS before debuting internationally on Netflix in 2018, Kim’s Convenience only caught the attention of many years later, racking up 142.9 million viewing hours between 2023 and 2025.

It features the everyday lives of a Korean-Canadian family running a neighborhood convenience store in downtown Toronto.

CBC

The story revolves around Mr. Kim, affectionately called “Appa,” whose stubborn streak is matched only by his sense of humor, and Mrs. Kim, or “Umma,” warm-hearted but just as determined.

Together, they juggle life in a city of many cultures while managing their store and raising their two children: Janet, an independent photography student, and Jung, their estranged son working to mend family ties after a troubled past.

The series stands out by depicting interactions between different minority communities, humorously addressing tensions that are rarely portrayed on television. It provides a heartfelt and entertaining narrative that feels more genuine than many traditional family sitcoms.

Actually, the name of this sitcom popped up too many times when a Reddit user asked netizens about a series they “stumbled upon with zero expectations but ended up loving.”

Speaking of Kim’s Convenience, a Redditor posted, “Such a great show!” while another added: “Fabulous!”

A third chimed in, “Watched the first season in a day and it really made me happy. A screwball comedy, old school vibe and I am loving it.”

Another comment read: “Love it. Just stumbled by it on Netflix. So well done, so well written, beautiful characters. One of the best comedies I have ever seen.”

Sadly, despite the ratings, the show wrapped up after the fifth season.

If you want to check it out and see what all the buzz is about, all seasons are now streaming on Netflix in the US and UK.

Mehlani’s transformation: From ‘alien’ eyes to embracing uniqueness

Mehlani Dickerson, a young girl from the US, has a rare genetic disorder called Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome which make her eyes look enchantingly big and beautiful. However, having this condition means that she can develop glaucoma at certain point in her life, and even vision loss or blindness.

In fact, the syndrome represents a rare genetic disorder that causes cornea defects and iris defects. According to the National Institute of Health, people diagnosed with it “may have an off-center pupil (corectopia) or extra holes in the eyes that can look like multiple pupils (polycoria).”

It mostly develops at infants who are diagnosed with the condition during the first days or weeks of their lives, just like Mehlani.

X

Mehlani’s left eye shows a faint trace of iris in one corner, while the rest is entirely pupil—just like her right eye. Her eyes, just like those of the rest of the people with Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome, are sensitive to light.

Mehlani’s mother, Karina, shared a photo of her daughter that quickly grabbed the attention of many due to her unusually big eyes. And it’s not only people online who have been captivated by her appearance, but also strangers on the street.

“People always say she’s so beautiful and she’s s cute, but I felt conflicted because people notice something different about her eyes,” Karina says.

“And I worry about when she gets approached by any other kids about her eyes … kids can be mean. But I teach her when people compliment her to say “thank you” and smile.”

Karina Martinez

“Everytime were out & a stranger compliments on how big & beautiful her eyes are, I have a mental debate on whether or not I should mention her defect. I decide no, smile & say thank you. I’m always left with a weird feeling. I just pray she’ll always know how beautiful she is,” Karina posted on the social media.

Mehlani was diagnosed with glaucoma, but at this point, her vision isn’t suffering thanks to a surgery she had when she was just five months old. Mehlani’s eyes had abnormally formed drainage canals, causing fluid buildup that intensified her glaucoma. Without surgical intervention, her optic nerves might have been permanently damaged. Now, however, thanks to artificial canals, her eye pressure has remained stable.

Karina Martinez

Her mom says that they don’t know what the future holds for their little girl.

When she’s outside, Mehlani needs to wear sunglasses because her eyes are more sensitive to sunlight than a normal eye due to the glaucoma.

Through the social media, Karina and her husband found a community of support where they share experiences with others who have the same condition as their daughter.

I almost left after seeing our baby, but my wife’s secret changed everything

After years of waiting, trying, and praying, Elena and I were finally going to become parents. I couldn’t wait for the moment I would hold our baby in my arms, but when that day finally arrived, I was met with shock and disbelief.

“Honey,” Elena said one day, “I think I want to be all by myself in the delivery room.”

Her words weren’t something I expected to hear. Why wouldn’t she want me there, I wondered. But she said she needed to do it alone, so I agreed.

Midjourney

A couple of days later, we went to the hospital. I kissed Elena at the entrance to the maternity ward and all I could do was wait.

Finally, the doctor emerged, but the expression on his face said something was wrong. As I headed to Elena’s room, my heart plummeted.

I felt relieved when I saw Elena was fine.

She had our baby in her arms, but her usually bubbly demeanor was nowhere to be seen.

She looked at me straight in the eyes and showed me our baby girl. The little one had pale skin, blue eyes, and blonde hair. My heart dropped. “YOU CHEATED!” I yelled.

“Marcus, I can explain,” Elena said as she tried to grab my hand.

My world spun. Both she and I are two black people, and our child was white.

She tried to convince me that baby was ours, but I couldn’t understand how that could be.

“Don’t lie to me, Elena, this couldn’t be my girl. I’m not an idiot,” I screamed from the top of my lungs.

The nurses around us tried to calm the situation, but I felt like my heart was being ripped out of my chest.

“Marcus, please take a look at this,” Elena said, pointing to the tiny birthmark on my daughter’s feet. It was the same birthmark my brother and I have – exactly the same.

“There’s something I need to tell you. Something I should have told you years ago,” Elena said, and that’s when I learned she carried a rare recessive gene that could cause a child to have pale skin and light features, regardless of the parents’ appearance.

She said she didn’t tell me before because she believed the chances of our baby being born white were slim.

I started at the baby girl. Her birthmark should have been proof enough she was mine, but I experienced a rollercoaster of emotions I struggled to juggle with.

Elena’s words sound genuine. I trusted her, and soon, my anger was replaced with feelings stronger that any other, that of love and trust.

When we brought our little bundle of joy home, we knew we would face the judgement of my part of the family, but we never assumed their criticism would be so harsh.

Both my mother and brother called me an idiot who was letting his wife fool him, telling me I should face the facts that that baby wasn’t mine.

What’s most, they laughed at the story of the gene Elena carried, saying it wasn’t something real but nonsense.

Pexels

One night, I heard the door of my daughter’s room open, so I went to check what was going on. It was my mom, she had a damp washcloth in her hands, trying to rub off my baby’s birthmark in order to show me Elena was lying to me.

That’s when I realized I had it enough.

I told my mom to leave my home. “Mom, you either accept our baby or get out of our lives,” I yelled at her.

Elena was woken up by the screams. She started crying and I apologized for not standing up to her sooner.

Midjourney

“Marcus, for everyone’s peace of mind, I think we should do a DNA test,” Elena said.

I knew that we didn’t need to prove anything to anyone, but I agreed.

As expected, the results showed the little one was our baby. I was her biological father.

When we showed the test results to my family, they all apologized. Some of those apologies were heartfelt, and others were awkward.

Midjourney

At that moment, I felt a sense of peace settle over me. My family might be different, but it’s mine, and it’s perfect.

A research reveals your body knows when death is near, and it all starts in the nose

Despite years of research and the advance of techology, there are some things about human’s body that still remain a mystery for doctors and researchers. Knowing how complex our bodies are, this doesn’t really come as a surprise.

As some of us have what we call a sixth sense and can predict things in advance, a recent research revealed that we can also sense when death is approaching. Scientists say that when someone dies, the body immediately begins to break down. During these moments, putrescine, a foul and toxic scent that is the result of decomposition, is released. Apparently, humans subconsciously recognize this putrefying odor. Not only that, the scent, when released, causes an immediate response.

Two researchers, Arnaud Wisman from the University of Kent’s School of Psychology in Canterbury, UK and Ilan Shira from the Department of Behavioral Sciences in Arkansas’ Tech University in Russellville, AK, say that just like animals, humans can sense scents and then act accordingly. At the end of the day, that’s part of survival across the species.

When humans are exposed to the odor of putrescine, they express a conscious and subconscious reaction to it.

Some of the experiments conducted by these two researchers revealed that when people are exposed to the scent of putrescine, they move away, just like the animals which either run away or fight when they sense danger.

“We do not know why we like (or dislike) someone’s smell, and we’re usually not aware of how scent influences our emotions, preferences, and attitudes,” Wisman and Shira explain.

“It is hard to think of a scent as frightening,” other researchers claim. However, scents do make people more vigilant of their surroundings.

Sex pheromones, which are defined as odors produced by either males or females, that stimulate one or more behavioral reactions in the opposite sex, bringing the males and females together for the purpose of mating are just another example of the effect of scent at humans.

“Putrescine signals a different type of message than pheromones, but people’s responses to putrescine (avoidance and hostility) do seem indeed to be the opposite of responses to many sexual pheromones,” researchers explain. At the same time, the researchers explain that humans are not aware o the odor and don’t consciously associate it with death or fear.

Melania Trump’s bikini photo turns heads — The contrast with Michelle and Jill is striking

She once walked the runways of Milan, now she walks the halls of the White House.

One thing about Melania Trump we can all agree on is that she’s anything but ordinary. Her transformation from a small-town Slovenian girl to one of America’s most recognizable First Ladies is one reserved for a Hollywood script. While she largely avoids the public spotlight, her beauty, style, and enigmatic presence continue to captivate public attention. Whether admired for her fashion choices or speculated about for her skincare and beauty regimen, Melania Trump remains one of the most talked-about women in the world.

Recently, an old bikini photo of a young Melania reemerged, triggering many comments.

“Wow. Beautiful Lady and Fashion Model. Not many who look like this and are so blessed. She seems beautiful inside and out,” one fan wrote.

“They always start posting photos of her when she was modeling. Look at the way models are today. Melania is beautiful and classy and I hope she’s our first lady again,” another person added.

“THAT BEAUTY OF WOMAN 🌺🌺🌺🤩🤩🤩,” third chimed in.

Some even noted that compared to Jill and Michelle, also two stunning former First Ladies, Melania is the only one whose bikini photo have emerged on the social media.

Not long ago, the story of Trump asking from his wife to walk around Mar-a-Lago in a bikini to show his friends “what they were missing” reemerged after the Australian 60 Minutes leaked audio clip obtained from Australian Billionaire Anthony Pratt in 2023. In it, Pratt recalled, “Then, Melania said, back to him: ‘I’ll do that when you walk around with me in your bikini.'”

At the time, Trump took to the social media to blast the report as “Fake News,” calling Pratt a “red-haired weirdo.”

“I never spoke to him about Submarines, but I did speak to him about creating jobs in Ohio and Pennsylvania, because that’s what I’m all about – JOBS, A GREAT ECONOMY, LOW TAXES, NO INFLATION, ENERGY DOMINANCE, STRONG BORDERS, NO ENDLESS WARS, LOW INTEREST RATES, and much more! Maggie Hagerman and the Misfits never called me for a comment. Why would they, they just write anything they want. Whether it’s correct or not is of ZERO importance to them. All the News That’s Unfit To Print. That’s why we call it the Fake News!” he posted on Truth Social at the time.

Woman, 20, found dead on bus with 26 iPhones taped to her body as disturbing theory emerges

A 20-year-old woman died in a bus after she fell ill during a long-distance travel from Foz do Iguaçu to São Paulo in Brazil. Allegedly, she started feeling unwell when the bus stopped at a restaurant in Guarapuava, in the central region of Paraná. 

She started complaining of breathing difficulties and was treated by Mobile Emergency Care Service (SAMU) workers. However, it didn’t take long before she suffered a seizure and despite the attempts by the medics to revive her, she passed away.

The strangest thing surrounding the dead woman was that she had 26 iPhones glued to her body.

The phones were seized and sent to the Federal Revenue Service.

Inside her luggage there were several bottles of alcohol, but no presence of drugs.

According to authorities, she was traveling alone.

At the time being, the woman’s exact cause of death has also been under investigation. She did suffer a seizure and went into a cardiac arrest, but it is yet to be determined what caused the heavy breathing that forced her heart to stop working.

“The Paraná Civil Police are investigating the case and awaiting the conclusion of forensic reports to clarify the cause of death. According to preliminary information, the woman, who was alone, was traveling from Foz do Iguaçu to São Paulo. The 26 cell phones that were glued to her body were seized and sent to the Federal Revenue Service,” police said, according to Brazilian news outlet Globo, as reported by Mirror.

Further, authorities said that the late woman, whose identity hasn’t been revealed to the public, was likely involved in smuggling goods.

At church, I noticed an adult woman with lots of tattoos and body piercings, and it made me feel uncomfortable

A female churchgoer shared a story of a woman who visited the church and attended the service one Sunday but her body was covered in tattoos and she had all sorts of piercings. The person sharing the story believed the woman neither looked nor was dressed appropriately for church.

For the churchgoer, the place of worship has always been synonymous with modesty and reverence so she believed the tattooed woman didn’t belong there. She felt strong urge to object, so she approached her after service and told her her looks wasn’t appropriate for the house of God, to what the woman replied, “How I look has nothing to do with you.”

These words made the churchgoer question her act. She wondered if she was right to feel the discomfort that stemmed from outdated beliefs rather than any real issue. She asked herself if the modern times brought the need to reconsider our assumptions about what is and what’s not appropriate to wear to church, the place where we reach to God and practice our beliefs.

The truth is that nowadays plenty of people express their creativity and personality through tattoos, so are we on the wrong to judge them for their way of self-expression?

The question that floats in the air is whether there should be a standard dress code for those who attend a service at the church and try to be closer to God by visiting his sanctuary.

Some people dress modestly because they believe they show respect for the sacredness of the place that way. Others, however, don’t think that our clothing matters because the faith is all about acceptance, compassion, and unity.

We should never forget that every person who tries to find solace at the House of God brings their personal history with them, and the tattoos, the piercings, and the unconventional clothing simply reflects their true selves and their life journey, as well as their personal struggles.

However, while valuing individuality is essential, respecting the church as a holy place is also very important.

Balancing respect for tradition with the embrace of personal expression can create a more inclusive worship space where everyone feels appreciated and welcomed.

In order to promote mutual understanding, churches may consider encouraging attire that maintains a balance between personal expression and respect for the sacred space.

Churchgoers should dress in whatever makes them feel comfortable as long as the choice of outfit is respectful to the church. This approach would let individuals respect their own style and the traditional values at the same time.

At the end of the day, it is in the core of the faith to accept everyone equally, just like our savior did with the marginalized members of society.

Outrage as Trump revives dreaded school test

According to the Federal Register, Donald Trump has signed 176 executive orders since taking office for the second time. Many of those orders sparked backlash and were widely deemed unlawful, but that didn’t stop him from pushing his agenda forward.

Among the rest, he prompted outrage from environmental groups and international leaders when he decided to pull out of the Paris Accord again. Further, he ended the federal DEI programs, renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, imposed huge tariffs on basically every country on Earth, redefine “sex” in all federal policy as biological sex assigned at birth, excluding gender identity, and more.

Most recently, Trump signed an executive order that brings back the Presidential Fitness Test in public schools, a test generations of students dreaded.

REUTERS via NewYork Post

The test was first introduced in 1966 by President Lyndon B. Johnson and involves physical activities such as a one-mile run, sit-ups, push-ups and pull-ups.

“This is an important step in our mission to make America healthy again,” Trump stated when he signed the executive order, with golfer Bryson DeChambeau, Kansas City Chiefs’ Harrison Butker and former New York Giants player Lawrence Taylor by his side.

“It’s something that’s very important, what we’re doing, very important. Dating back to the administration of President Dwight D Eisenhower, this council has championed the vigor and strength and vitality of the American people today. We continue that very proud tradition.”

Trump added: “It was a big deal. This was a wonderful tradition, and we’re bringing it back. It’s turned out to be very, very popular to do.”

Anna Moneymaker/Getty

In 2012, then-President Barack Obama replaced the Presidential Fitness Test with a new program called FitnessGram, but now under Trump the dreaded test is back again.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told CNN: “President Trump wants every young American to have the opportunity to emphasize healthy, active lifestyles — creating a culture of strength and excellence for years to come.”

The decision comes at the time when the US is preparing to host significant sporting events such as the 2025 Ryder Cup, 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Summer Olympics.

The public, however, especially those who were students when the test was part of the school system, remember it being brutal.

Taking to Reddit, one person wrote, “We did this ‘beep test’ for varsity soccer and kids would throw up or nearly throw up every summer. It was brutal.” Another added: “I remember doing this test in elementary school. I can still hear the audio from this stupid test in my head. I remember I only got up to like 15 or so before I was done…I was an out of shape kid.”

There were also those who challenged Trump to take it himself.

Horrific hot air balloon incident kills eight people

Hot air balloon carrying 21 people caught on fire while traveling through the air meters above the ground in Brazil’s southern state of Santa Catarina, killing eight people. The rest of the passengers, including the pilot, survived and were taken to hospital.

According to Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Agency, they are taking “all necessary steps to investigate the condition of the aircraft and the crew.”

X

“According to the pilot, who is one of the survivors, a fire started inside the basket, so he started to lower the balloon, and when the balloon was very close to the ground he told people to jump,” officer Tiago Luiz Lemos, from the Praia Grande police station, told reporters at the scene, BBC reported.

“They started to jump, but some people did not manage to. The flames started to grow and because of the weight, the balloon began to rise again.

“It later fell because of a loss of suspension.”

Unfortunately, those who didn’t manage to jump out of the hot air balloon lost their lives. Officials stated that three of the victims were found holding each other at the time of their death.

Santa Catarina Fire Department

“We are in mourning. A tragedy has happened. We will see how it unfolds, what happened, why it happened. But the important thing now is for the state structure to do what it can,” Gov. Jorginho Mello said in a video on X.

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva extended his condolences to the victims’ families and offered federal support to both the survivors and local officials.

The hot air balloon ride was planned to last 45 minutes and go up to 3,280 feet — the ride cost $100 per person.

Sobrevoar, the company that operated the multicolored balloon, stated in a statement that it followed all regulations and had no prior accidents on record before Saturday.

“Despite all necessary precautions and the efforts of our pilot – who has extensive experience and followed all recommended procedures in an attempt to save everyone on board the balloon – we are suffering from the pain caused by this tragedy,” the statement read.

Praia Grande, in southern Santa Catarina, where the accident happened, is a well-known tourist attraction renowned for its striking canyon scenery. It is often called the “Brazilian Cappadocia,” after Turkey’s hot-air ballooning hotspot.

‘I didn’t even recognize him’— Fans react to Michael Douglas’ new look

After a stunning Hollywood career that spanned decades, actor Michael Douglas devastated fans when he announced he is retiring from acting.

At the Karlovy Vary Film Festival, where he was presenting a newly restored print of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, the Wall Street star told reporters, “I have not worked since 2022 purposefully because I realized I had to stop.”

Douglas was answering questions about his career when he revealed he’s stepping away from the big screen. “I had been working pretty hard for almost 60 years, and I did not want to be one of those people who dropped dead on the set,” he said. “I say I’m not retired because if something special came up, I’d go back, but otherwise, no.”

Fans were quick to share their thoughts on his decision. “Michael Douglas announced he’s retiring from acting at age 80,” one X user wrote. “If this is actually it & if we never see Douglas on screen again, it’s been one hell of a ride. All Douglas did in the last 50 years was make hits & take risks. There is no ‘next Michael Douglas’. He’s one of one.”

Another person wrote, “End of an era, but what an actor, what a star,” while a third added: “Wow, end of an era! Michael Douglas, what a legend. Wishing him a happy retirement!”

Douglas last appeared on screen in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023) and Franklin (2024), both filmed in 2021. He hasn’t acted since.

Douglas also mentioned working on “one little independent movie,” trying to “get a good script out of,” but with no additional work lined up.

However, while he might never do any new films, his fans still get to see what’s he’s been up to nowadays thanks to his social media posts through which he offers glimpses into his daily life.

One particular video Douglas shared on Independence Day, resonated deeply with many and went viral in no time. Not only the video gathered many views and admiration, but also plenty of comments. While many praised him for the video, his acting, and the genuine person he is, they also couldn’t help but make comments about his look. A number of people wrote that the actor, who is currently 80 years old, aged visibly. “I didn’t recognize him!” one person commented.

In 2010, Douglas was diagnosed with stage four throat cancer and had to undergo a gruelling course of radiation and chemotherapy. He was given 80% chance of recovery.

Speaking of his disease, the Fatal Attraction star told Guardian that the cancer was caused by a sexually transmitted disease. “Without wanting to get too specific, this particular cancer is caused by HPV (human papillomavirus),” he said. “I did worry if the stress caused by my son’s incarceration didn’t help trigger it. But it’s a sexually transmitted disease that causes cancer.”

Currently, he’s enjoying his life and supporting his wife’s acting career.

Why Diana spent her last Christmas alone with reheated meal

The moment Princess Diana and Prince Charles got engaged back in 1981, they instantly became one of the most famous and most powerful couples. Many women wanted to be in her place, not knowing that the relationship and the marriage were doomed from the start, and the future King was to be blamed for that.

People close to the late Princess, among which Diana’s astrologer, Penny Thornton, claim that the problems between Diana and Charles didn’t start when she learned he was having an affair with Camilla, who later became his wife, but way before that.

Shortly after they announced their engagement, Charles and Diana sat in front of the cameras. Charles said he was “delighted and frankly amazed” that Diana wanted a royal life with him and the then-soon-to-be princess noted that Charles was “pretty amazing.” But then, a question followed, and Charles’ answer to it traumatized young Diana. When the reported asked them in they were in love, Diana said yes, and Charles answered, “Whatever ‘in love’ means.”

What many dubbed “the wedding of the century” ended in a painful separation which eventually led to divorce, after Queen Elizabeth urged her son and her daughter-in-law to officially call their relation quits.

The truth is that Princess Diana was everything but ordinary, “breaking” traditions when it came to her children’s happiness. Her passion for motherhood was unmatched. She was perfectly aware that her children needed to be protected from the outside world and she was determined to teach them about what’s outside the walls of the royal palace. At the same time, she wanted their childhood to be as normal as possible.

Following her separation from Charles, she feared that they could take her boys from her.

Biographer Howard Hodgson, author of the 2007 book Charles: The Man Who Will Be King, wrote: “She was well aware that the Queen had the constitutional right and authority under common law to take control of both boys’ care and education.

“As such she could become the boys’ guardian or even appoint one: this would probably be their father and that might lead to Diana’s exclusion if she finally burned all her bridges with the Royal Family.”

Once the marriage was over, Princess Diana would spend Christmas Day alone, according to former royal chef Darren McGrady.

Speaking with royal reporter Omid Scobie for Yahoo UK series The Royal Story, McGrady revealed: “It was always quite sad when you were working with the princess the day before Christmas.

“William and Harry would go off to Sandringham and Princess Diana was there on her own. And she insisted the staff spending their time with their families over Christmas, so we would leave food in the refrigerator.

“So there was the princess, on her own, on Christmas Day.”

According to McGrady, the late princess didn’t feel comfortable while at Sandringham where the royals gathered together each December because “[it] was so tight, so compact. There were so many people there, all the families.

“You just couldn’t get away. You came out of the dining room, and you couldn’t go into the sitting room because there were three or four people in there playing charades or Scrabble or something.”

The former royal chef added, “She would go off for a walk on her own and often I would bump into her when she was out walking. So, I think that’s probably what she wasn’t keen on.”

In the book Diana: Her True Story, royal author Andrew Morton wrote that in audio recordings he had received, the People’s Princess could be heard saying she felt like an “outsider” at Sandringham, which was “terrifying and so disappointing.”

“No boisterous behaviour, lots of tension, silly behaviour, silly jokes that outsiders would find odd but insiders understood. I sure was [an outsider].”

Diana died in a car crash August 31, 1997.

She lost her life after she and her partner Dodi Fayed, the son of Egyptian billionaire Mohamed Al-Fayed, her driver Henri Paul, and her bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones crashed the Mercedes in the Pont de I’Alma tunnel in Paris while trying to escape the paparazzi.

My father prioritized his own freedom instead of supporting me—and I’m still coming to terms with it

My parents and I have always been very close, so it’s no surprise that I expect my father to support me financially with the money he got from selling the motorbike repair shop he had been running for 50 years. Now that my mom has passed away and he’s retired, I figured he’ll settle into a quiet life, but no, he does the exact opposite.

With the money he got from selling the shop, my father is purchasing a brand new Harley that costs $35,000, planning a cross-country journey “before it’s too late.”

Well, his so-called “last great adventure” means spending all the money on himself while I am drowning in debt, struggling to pay bills and getting myself a small condo.

Honestly, him chasing a midlife crisis instead of helping me or investing wisely is something I can’t accept that easily. But whenever I mention that to him, he starts laughing, saying, “At my age, all crises are end-of-life crises.” I really can’t understand how he can just waste that much money on stupid things when I can use it to stand on my feet.

On top of everything, I’ve had to scrap my Bahamas trip, which I was planning to pay for with what I believe is rightfully my inheritance.

My friends are with me on this one, saying it is every parent’s job to support their children and help them financially as much as they can.

What my dad can’t understand is that I have a future to build, unlike him, who doesn’t have that much time left, so if he won’t do the right thing, I’m ready to claim what should already be mine.

He claims this foolish trip is some sort of tribute to my mom who wanted him to keep living fully once she passes away, but I know mom would want me to have that money and start my life over.

At this point, part of me wonders if I should just walk away and stop expecting anything, stop calling, stop caring. But another part of me still hopes he’ll come to his senses. I don’t know which voice to listen to anymore.

NYPD officer killed in midtown shooting was expecting third child

Lone gunman forced his way into a large building housing major offices, including the NFL and Blackstone, at 345 Park Avenue, Midtown Manhattan, and opened fire, killing four people before taking his own life.

Among those killed was a beloved NYPD officer Didarul Islam, 36, a Bangladeshi immigrant praised as a hero by city officials. At the time of the mass shooting during which he lost his life, Islam was off duty but working as a private security guard wearing his police uniform.

Officer Didarul Islam/ NYPD

New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said in a press conference Monday night, “[Islam] was doing the job that we asked him to do. He put himself in harm’s way, he made the ultimate sacrifice – shot in cold blood, wearing a uniform that stood for the promise that he made to this city. He died as he lived, a hero.”

Tisch explained that Islam was working on a paid security detail, adding, “Paid detail is a program that we have set up at the police department that allows companies to hire officers in uniform to provide extra uniform security.”

AP

Islam had been with the NYPD since December 2021 and was assigned to the 47th Precinct in the Bronx, Mayor Eric Adams said at the news conference.

He met with Islam’s family, saying of Islam, “He was a hero and we admire him for putting his life on the line.”

“Everyone we spoke with stated he was a person of faith and a person that believed in God and believed in living out the life of a godly person,” the mayor said. “He was saving lives. He was protecting New Yorkers, he embodies what this city is all about. He’s a true-blue New Yorker, not only in a uniform he wore.”

Islam was a father of two, and he and his wife were expecting their third child.

NYPD paid tribute to the hero officer, posting on X, “Police Officer Didarul Islam represented the very best of our department. He was protecting New Yorkers from danger when his life was tragically cut short today. We join in prayer during this time of incomprehensible pain. We will forever honor his legacy.”

His funeral was attended by hundreds of officers.

The shooter was identified as 27-year-old Shane Tamura who came to New York from Las Vegas shortly before the shooting. His motive is still being investigated, but officials revealed that he had a “documented mental health history.”

According to the CNN, before getting to the 33rd floor, where he injured an NFL employee and then took his own life, Tamura killed Julia Hyman, an associate at Rudin Management, Wesley LePatner, a Blackstone employee and a mother, and Aland Etienne, a security officer.

Whispers under the bed: 5 year old’s cry for help

It was late in the night when the police got a call from five-year-old Mia, who was visibly distressed and wanted someone to help her. Her trembling voice could barely whisper, “Please… can you come? Someone’s under the bed. I’m scared.”

Her parents noticed her speaking to the police and tried to assure the operator that their daughter was just imagining things. “You know how children are,” her mother was quick to say. However, the dispatcher wasn’t fully convinced. It could be just her imagination, but based on her voice, little Mia was genuinely scared, and she probably needed someone other than her mom and dad to assure her that she was safe.

It didn’t take long before two officers arrived at Mia’s family’s suburban home.

When they saw her, she was gripping her stuffed bear tightly and led them to her room. They checked under her bed, and there was nothing but some forgotten toys and some dust. One of the officers smiled at Mia and was about to say goodbye, when the other one held up a hand, signaling for silence.

Then they heard a faint metallic scraping coming from under the bedroom floor. It was real. Mia hadn’t imagined it.

Sensing something wasn’t right, the officers took a closer look at the floor. One of them knocked near the bed, and the sound echoed hollow. They went to the garage for tools and started prying up the floorboards. Just beneath, the soil looked freshly disturbed.

After they started digging carefully, they uncovered a sealed metal hatch.

They discovered a narrow tunnel running under the neighborhood.

The officers called for backup and in no time, Mia’s neighborhood was crowded with other officers and detectives.

Soon, they located three escaped convicts, dirty and exhausted, hiding in the shadows. For days, maybe longer, they’d been digging through the night, staying quiet enough to avoid being heard and caught. But they weren’t quiet enough for Mia.

Her sharp instincts brought the escape attempt to an end, with the three men arrested and the tunnels sealed off.

That night, as officers cleared the scene and returned to the house, Mia could finally get some rest and fall asleep. She was glad someone heard her cries for help, despite her mom and dad believing that she was just imagining things.

Dirty dancing star Jennifer Grey opens up about the accident that changed her life and forced her to turn her back on Hollywood

Some movies just pass by unnoticed by the audience, and others remain classics and attract the attention of millions. Dirty Dancing definitely belongs to the latter. The love story between Frances ‘Baby’ Houseman and dance teacher Johnny Castle sold over 1 million copies on VHS. The original song for the movie, ‘I’ve Had The Time of My Life‘ won numerous awards, including an Academy Award and a Golden Globe.

For the lead actors, Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze, the door to a whole new world was opened. Suddenly, all eyes were on them and they found themselves under the spotlight. However, a tragic incident that preceded the film premiere prevented Grey from enjoying her enormous success and all the attention she was given by the huge number of fans.

Today, years after Dirty Dancing saw the light of the day and became one of the best movies of the decade, Grey speaks of her fame and her decision to turn her back on Hollywood at the age of 27.

Wikipedia

In 1987, the year the movie premiered, Grey was living in Ireland with then-boyfriend Matthew Broderick. The two were were involved in a car crash in which a mother and her young daughter lost their lives. As per reports, Broderick was driving on the wrong side of the street and killed the family in the other vehicle. He was charged with dangerous driving, later reduced to careless driving.

Grey didn’t suffer any serious physical injuries, or at least she thought so, but she was never the same person she once was. The tragedy touched her deeply and she had a hard time moving on.

Speaking to the Daily Mirror, the promising actress said, “The juxtaposition of that deep sorrow, the survivor’s guilt, and then being celebrated as the new big thing just didn’t jibe. It didn’t feel good to be the toast of the town.”

“My head was never the same, my ambition was never the same,” she told People.

As she struggled with survivor’s guilt, Grey finally decided to do something for herself and underwent a nose procedure. However, it didn’t turn out as planned and instead of making her feel better about her looks, Grey’s face became unrecognizable.

“I went in the operating theater a celebrity and come out anonymous,” she revealed in 2012.“It was like being in a witness protection program or being invisible. It was the nose job from hell. I’ll always be this once-famous actress nobody ­recognizes because of a nose job.”

Some ten years ago, Grey felt that she wanted to be part of the film industry again. She won the TV show ‘Dancing with the Stars’ and that finally helped her leave her past behind. This show was exactly what she needed to feel alive again.

Wikipedia

“It’s like I’ve starved myself because of what people could think about me. This is like eating a delicious steak after having been on a diet for 23 years,” Grey told People.

Today, she’s back on the big screen and starred in the movies Untogether, Red Oaks, Bittersweet Symphony and I am Patrick Swayze.

However, there was a time when she was going through severe medical issues. A medical checkup revealed Grey was at risk of being paralyzed.

“Her spine was actually literally falling off. One good fall or a rear end accident or throwing her head suddenly and it could have done serious damage to her spinal cord,” neurological spinal surgeon Dr. Robert Bray, Jr., told ABC. “We are talking about complete paralysis.”

Dr. Bray performed several operations on Grey and a titanium plate needed to be screwed into her spine. Unfortunately, more shocking news followed, Grey had cancer.

X-rays showed a cancerous growth in her thyroid, but according to the actress herself, doctors were able to remove it before the cancer spread to other areas.

In 2010, Grey underwent four major surgeries, including the one mentioned before. She was also forced to have her thyroid removed.

Luckily, she now feels great.

We are sure that Jennifer Grey’s career would take a completely different turn if it wasn’t for that accident that changed her life forever. We are, however, happy she’s back where she has always belonged, in Hollywood.

Father believed to have killed entire family in apparent murder-suicide on son’s high school graduation day

On May 10, four bodies were discovered inside a lakeside Nebraska home by the Dawson County Sheriff’s Office.

Authorities believe that Jeremy Koch, 42, killed his wife, Bailey Koch, and their two sons, Hudson, 18, and Asher, 16, before taking his own life in what is being treated as an apparent murder-suicide.

Days before the tragedy, Bailey took to Facebook, pleading for help to save her husband’s mental health.

Bailey Koch/Facebook

Allegedly, Jeremy was battling depression since 2009 and had attempted to commit suicide several times over the years. Bailey even started a GoFundMe in order to raise funds and help her husband’s struggles. “May is Mental Health Awareness Month, so here we are… making you aware,” Bailey reportedly wrote. Further, she explained that Jeremy’s depression became increasingly severe, writing, “Jeremy cannot get out of bed unless forced. By not eating or drinking, Jeremy is slowly completing suicide.”

His mental health declined in March, when Bailey awoke to him standing over her bed with a knife, saying, “Something is wrong.” She was able to talk him to access a round of electroconvulsive therapy, which sadly didn’t help him much.

“It didn’t work. Jeremy became a shell of himself,” Bailey wrote at the time.

“I have no pride left. Mental illness is taking my husband from me, and I’m begging you to open your eyes and see the reality that is this society’s mental health crisis.”

Bailey Koch/Facebook

On May 8, Bailey posted on the social media that her husband was released from inpatient care so that he could attend Hudson’s high school graduation which was supposed to take place just hours after after the family was found dead.

“Our boys are doing well living their lives, and for that, we are thankful,” Bailey wrote. “Please just pray Jeremy is able to somehow be with us on Saturday for our oldest son’s high school graduation.”

Authorities determined that Bailey and her sons were stabbed with a knife.

Bailey Koch/Facebook

Bailey Koch was a special education teacher at Holdrege Public Schools, who issued a statement shortly after the tragedy took place, writing, “Our hearts are with everyone impacted by a tragic event that has deeply affected us all.”

In an open letter posted on the social media, Bailey’s father, Lane Kugler, who found the dead bodies of his daughter, grandsons and son-in-law, expressed his anger over the tragedy.

“Jeremy had been fighting mental illness for many, many years,” Kugler wrote. “His depression had turned into psychosis. It was not Jeremy who committed this horrific act. It was a sick mind.”

32-year-old woman attacked by a polar bear after she jumps into their enclosure at the Berlin zoo

If you have visited a zoo, which is very likely you have, you have certainly noticed all the signs which remind visitors not to feed animals and not get close to them. This is done for both the sake of the people and the animals.

Sadly, accidents happen, and sometimes people put themselves in dangerous situations on purpose which is sadly the case with a teacher who was left in despair after she failed finding a job for some time.

Namely, while at the Berlin Zoo, the woman jumped inside the enclosure of the polar bears. In order to do so, she had to climb over a fence, a line of hedges, and a wall. What’s most, she jumped inside the caged area while the bears were being fed.

As expected, a polar bear that spotted her was quick to attack her, leaving her with serious injuries and wounds from the strong bites she sustained.

Luckily, one of the employees at the Zoo was able to scare the bear off and save Mandy.

She was severely injured on her arm, her leg, and her back.

Witnesses, including families with young children, were horrified by the unfolding scene, convinced they were seconds away from witnessing a tragic mauling.

Following the incident, reports emerged highlighting the woman’s recent personal challenges, including unemployment and a breakup, which likely contributed to her unorthodox behavior. A number of people who saw videos of the incident dubbed her behavior a cry for help. What’s more, the event ignited conversations about whether zoos are secure enough and what drives a person to risk their life this way. Still, Berlin Zoo officials said they wouldn’t change security policies because those who are determined will always find a breach.

Donald Trump accuses Beyoncé and Oprah of accepting ‘illegal’ political payments

In a lengthy Truth Social post, president Donald Trump accused pop star Beyoncé, among other celebrities, of receiving $11 million to endorse Harris’ presidential bid — an act he claimed had broken campaign finance regulations.

He stated that the singer was paid “to walk onto a stage, quickly ENDORSE KAMALA, and walk off” without actually providing any musical performance, Newsweek reports.

He went on to accuse Oprah Winfrey of doing the same, alleging she was paid $3 million to publicly support Harris. According to the president himself, “very low-rated TV ‘anchor'” Al Sharpton received $600,000 from the Harris campaign.

His post on the social media site read, “I’m looking at the large amount of money owed by the Democrats, after the Presidential Election, and the fact that they admit to paying, probably illegally, Eleven Million Dollars to singer Beyoncé for an ENDORSEMENT (she never sang, not one note, and left the stage to a booing and angry audience!), Three Million Dollars for ‘expenses,’ to Oprah, Six Hundred Thousand Dollars to very low rated TV “anchor,” Al Sharpton (a total lightweight!), and others to be named for doing, absolutely NOTHING!

“These ridiculous fees were incorrectly stated in the books and records. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PAY FOR AN ENDORSEMENT. IT IS TOTALLY ILLEGAL TO DO SO. Can you imagine what would happen if politicians started paying for people to endorse them.

“All hell would break out! Kamala, and all of those that received Endorsement money, BROKE THE LAW. They should all be prosecuted!”

Reuters

Trump didn’t provide any proof for the large sums he shared in his post.

In fact, Harris rejected the rumors that the Cowboy Carter songstress was paid $10 million for being part of her campaign — an amount that circulated on the social media after she and Beyoncé appeared together in October 2024. In fact, at the October campaign rally for then-Vice President Kamala Harris, Beyoncé said, “I’m not here as a celebrity. I’m not here as a politician. I’m here as a mother—a mother who cares deeply about the world my children and all of our children live in, a world where we have the freedom to control our bodies, a world where we’re not divided.”

REUTERS via NewYork Post

While the Federal Election Commission had no record of an $11 million payment to Beyoncé from Harris’ presidential campaign, the records do show a $165,000 payment to Parkwood Entertainment, the media company Beyoncé founded in 2008.

According to Deadline, Rev. Sharpton’s National Action Network received $500,000 and Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Productions received $1 million for planning a livestreamed event in Michigan.

At this point, the White House hasn’t confirmed whether they would be pursuing any legal actions against Harris’ campaign.

Volcano erupts amid chaos after massive 8.8 earthquake hits Russia’s Far East

Hours after a massive 8.8-magnitude earthquake shook the Pacific on Wednesday, prompting tsunami waves, Russia’s Klyuchevskoy volcano has erupted on the Kamchatka peninsula.

Klyuchevskoy, situated about 450 kilometers (280 miles) north of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, the capital of the region, has erupted multiple times in recent years.

The Russian Academy of Sciences’ United Geophysical Service confirmed the eruption, writing on Telegram: “A descent of burning hot lava is observed on the western slope. Powerful glow above the volcano, explosions.”

Tsunami waves made landfall on Hawaii’s Oahu island, sparking panic as beachgoers rushed to evacuate. Officials urged those residing at coastal and low-lying zones to seek shelter on higher ground or at least on the upper floors of sturdy buildings. Sirens sounded across Hawaii at 10 minutes past the hour, every hour, for three hours before the tsunami was expected to hit, as part of a statewide alert system.

A tsunami warning was also in place along the West Coast, including California, Oregon, Washington, and Canada’s British Columbia.

Also, warnings were issued for Japan and parts of Russia.

Later on, evacuation orders were lifted for the Big Island and Oahu, Hawaii’s most populous island, though the state remained under a tsunami advisory.

Chile, however, has escalated its warning to the highest level for the majority of its Pacific coast.

“The impact of the tsunami could last for hours or perhaps more than a day,” said Dave Snider, tsunami warning coordinator with the National Tsunami Warning Center in Alaska.

“A tsunami is not just one wave,” he said. “It’s a series of powerful waves over a long period of time. Tsunamis cross the ocean at hundreds of miles an hour — as fast as a jet airplane — in deep water. But when they get close to the shore, they slow down and start to pile up. And that’s where that inundation problem becomes a little bit more possible there.”

Danila Chebrov, director of the Kamchatka Branch of the Geophysical Service, said on Telegram: “Aftershocks are currently ongoing. Their intensity will remain fairly high. However, stronger tremors are not expected in the near future.”

No causalities or major damage were reported.

The moment that gave fatherhood new meaning

Fatherhood isn’t about perfection or grand gestures, but about being there when it matters most. At its core, to be a father means to stand by your children, listen to them, support them, and guide them every step of the way. The truth is that fatherhood is defined by this consistent commitment, not by titles or words.

A touching story from a man who married a woman with a 3-year-old daughter is a true definition of love beyond genetics.

The little girl was shy at first, hiding behind her mom and looking at him with her beautiful big eyes. From the moment he entered her life, the man started loving her as though she was his own. He never tried to take anyone’s place, all he did was be kind and present, hoping to gain her trust one day. And then it happened. When she turned four, she started calling him daddy. It first happened one evening when she wrapped her tiny arms around his neck after a bedtime story and whispered, “Goodnight, Daddy.” It was a night he’d never forget.

From that moment on, she started calling him daddy, and it felt as though it had always been that way.

Now, at 13, she has grown into a beautiful lady, and he was there for her every step of the way. He witnessed her first bike ride, her first school performance, every milestone she has achieved and every obstacle she had to overcome. And her biological father? He slips in and out of her life like a passing shadow. A visit here, a message there. And every visit ends up with another disappointment.

Last night, the girl went to visit her biological dad, and then, out of the blue, the man received a message from her saying, “Can you come get me?” He didn’t ask any question, just got in the car and went to pick her up and take her home.

The girl was sad, disappointed, and unwilling to speak.

“Can we just go home, Dad?” The man just nodded.

Her calling him dad didn’t come from a habit she picked up along the way, but she meant it, and he could feel that.

This dad knew he wasn’t there just to fill in a role. He was always present, always there for her, he was the one who was there to stay.

He didn’t need any proof that she loved him, her “dad” was the greatest proof there was.

Trump fires back with blunt 6-word statement after Epstein photos resurface

That President Donald trump and disgraced billionaire Jeffrey Epstein were friends in the past is a well-known fact, but recently resurfaced photos of the two ‘buddies’ offer further insight into their relationship.

During the presidential campaign, Trump promised the public he would release files related to convicted sex offender Epstein, who killed himself while awaiting trial in federal prison, if he takes office for the second time. So, when Trump indeed returned to the White House for his second presidential term, he fulfilled his promise, but only partially.

Jeffrey Epstein/ New York State Sex Offender Registry

Namely, Attorney General Pamela Bondi released what was described as the ‘first phase’ of declassified Epstein files in February 2025, but later on, the Department of Justice claimed there was ‘no basis’ to release further files, with the FBI claiming there was no ‘client list’ or any indications that Epstein used such client list to blackmail prominent individuals.

This decision led to speculations that Trump could be ‘hiding’ details about the late financial advisor.

NBC News

Now, photos from Trump’s wedding to Marla Maples in 1993 at the Plaza Hotel in New York City emerged, showing Epstein being in attendance. Another photo, taken in 1999, show Trump and Epstein standing together and chatting during a Victoria’s Secret fashion event in New York.

Dafydd Jones, the photographer who covered Trump’s wedding to Maples, told CNN he ‘must have recognized’ Epstein at the event, having previously photographed him and Trump together at the Harley Davidson Café in New York in October 1993.

“I wish now I took more of him with Trump,” Jones said in an interview with the CNN. “I had the job of photographing the Trump wedding, so I stood with the press and photographed him. The image you have is from the contact sheet — the negatives were lost.”

The photos, released by CNN, added fuel to the fire and provoked immediate reaction from the president.

CNN contacted Trump for comment, but he accused them of ‘fake news’ and responded saying, “You’ve got to be kidding me,” before cutting the call short.

White House Communications Director Steven Cheung issued a statement later in the day, writing, “These are nothing more than out-of-context frame grabs of innocuous videos and pictures of widely attended events to disgustingly infer something nefarious.

“The fact is that the President kicked him out of his club for being a creep. This is nothing more than a continuation of the fake news stories concocted by the Democrats and the liberal media.”

Trump and Epstein had also been photographed together on several occasions from the 80’s to the mid 2000’s.

Experts claim mankind will die in world-ending ‘cosmic hell’ revealing the exact time the horrific event will occur

The question of whether and how the world will end has been discussed over and over again. There have been many predictions over the years, some of which inspired iconic Hollywood movies worth watching. This time, scientists came with yet another prediction, and they are even stating the timing when the world may end.

While our lovely planet came into existence with a big bang, it seems it could end with some scientists describe as a “big crunch,” or a condition in which the universe would start expanding and everything it contains will be pulled back together.

This means that the world will collapse in on itself in what is dubbed “cosmic hell.”

Scientists from Cornell University working on a recent study calculated exactly when the “Big Crunch” could begin, and no, it’s not happening any time soon. In fact, they believe the end of the world may happen in 19.5 billion years. According to Henry Tye, a lead at the institution, the process may begin in 11 billion years time, and it will take 8.5 billion years more for it to complete.

Dr Ethan Yu–Cheng, from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, explained, “It is just like throwing a basketball vertically upwards in daily life. The negative cosmological constant acts like the Earth’s gravity, which pulls the basketball downward.

“The basketball will de–accelerate until reaching the maximum height and start to fall.”

Dr Hoang Nhan Luu, a researcher at the Donostia International Physics Center told Mail Online: “Intelligent civilizations at the scales of solar systems or even galactic scales would not notice any obvious phenomenon because these changes happen at much larger cosmological scales.

“Civilisations like us typically exist on time scales of hundreds to thousands of years while the changes happen on billion–year time scales, so we wouldn’t notice any obvious day–to–day phenomenon until the very last moment.”

Asked whether humans could survive this event, Tye answered, “To survive, human beings have to move to the edge of our solar system or beyond. We have a few billion years’ time to prepare for that trip.”
