    This is a big discovery apparently. I had never heard of this before, so it's pretty fascinating..

    Einstein's brilliance continues to astound. So many of his theories 100 years ago are just recently been confirmed with the technology we have today.

    What if Einstein was actually a fairly dumb alien instead of a genius human?

    Light is a wave. Gravity is a wave. Two of the most, at least for me, mysterious but powerful concepts in life. What else is a wave?

    This is maybe the most terrifying thing I've ever seen.

    We are truly an arrogant species. :D

    Actually that's the foot of a bird creature native to New Zealand that was hunted to extinction called the Megalapteryx seen here:
    [​IMG]
    There were part of a group of birds called "Moa" that was made up of 8 species. The birds varied in size, with the Megalapteryx being one of the smaller ones. Here's a picture to show the different heights: [​IMG]
    Megalapteryx was #3 I believe. Here's another picture of what one of the taller species looks like compared to a Kiwi and an Ostrich. The largest Kiwis only grow to about 18 inches while Ostriches can be anywhere from 6'6" to 9'6" fully grown depending on gender. Dinornis Robustus and Dinornis Novaezelandia grew to about 12 feet tall.

    Apparently they were hunted to extinction by humans when then arrived on the island.

    Here is a link talking about it.

    I was thinking, maybe I should verify the facts before posting that, but then I thought "nah, i got other s*** to do" so I didn't check :D

    Thanks for posting that real
