According to American billionaire Ilon Musk, about a billion humanoid robots could appear on our planet in as little as 15 years. In this, Musk is in solidarity with the previously voiced opinion of AI expert David Holtz.
The latter wrote in the social network that, in addition to robots on Earth, in addition, in 35-40 years, about a hundred billion of the same creatures will already appear in the solar system.

Ilon Musk is impressed by such forecasts, but he clarified: such a scenario has a chance of being realized only if our civilization remains stable at its core.

A team of researchers from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) in the US presented their findings, which show that each successive year of education at school or university contributes to a 2% reduction in the risk of dying from any cause.
Scientists have studied the data of more than 600 scientific publications, which consider the relationship between the level of education and the length of human life. It is noted that experts have studied articles from 59 countries, including both industrially developed, such as the U.S. or EU countries, and developing countries, in particular, China, Brazil and many others.

The world’s largest deep-sea coral reef, the size of which is comparable to the American state of Vermont, was discovered off the southeastern coast of the United States. It is noted that the darkness-dwelling “ghost” corals probably support a large variety of marine creatures that were not known to exist.

During their research work, the scientists compared data from 31 single sonar mapping probes and 23 underwater vehicles used to create a map of the Blake Plateau, a huge shelf located about 160 kilometers from the U.S. coastline between the states of North Carolina and Florida.

Excavations of a dried-up lake have uncovered 550 bronze artifacts and skeletal remains that are more than three millennia old, and they have also shed light on an ancient ritual.

The artifacts were discovered at the bottom of Lake Papowo-Biskupe in Poland. It is noted that the findings revealed how rituals were performed by the people known as the Chelmno people, who trace their roots back to a period from 1,200 B.C. to 450 B.C., coming from the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age.

It is noted that this people was a representative of the Lusatian culture prevalent in Poland at that time. It was previously thought that metal artifacts were not important to Chelmno, but excavations have shown that this was far from the case. Researchers claim that artifacts excavated with human remains indicate a connection between burial and metal rituals conducted in large bodies of water.

A team of Argentine and Spanish specialists analyzed the remains of animals that were found in a cave called Gato-2, located in the basin of the Spanish river Ebro. Among the remains found, the most widely represented was a wild rabbit belonging to the species Oryctolagus cuniculus, with over 2,300 bones from teeth from more than 120 individuals.
After examining the findings, experts concluded that in the period from 23 to 21 thousand years ago, which falls during the last ice age, on the territory of this region hunter-gatherers were engaged in the extraction of rabbits.
