You and five other tourists are exploring this amazing cave from the medieval times. Just as you guys are about to exit the cave a gigantic rock falls and blocks the only exit of the cave. Thankfully, there's still a little hole from which you guys can exit. Everyone decides to make the biggest guy of the group exit first, but that's a huge mistake. Being so big in size, he had only managed to stick his head out when he gets stuck in the hole. He just cannot be moved, and this is the only way out. To everyone's horror, the high tide is rising and unless you guys find a way out in due time, everyone drowns. Except for the big guy because his head is still sticking out, remember?

Looking for a solution, you find dynamite in your backpack. It will not help moving the massive rock, but it will definitely blast the big guy stuck in the hole. The big guy, knowing what you might be going to do starts crying and pleading for his life. He obviously doesn't want to die, but neither do you and the four other explorers. Would you blast the big guy out? What would you have advised your companions to do if you were the one stuck in the big guy's position? Tough choice.

7.  Read this if you feel like you're inconsequential in this world.



Did you know that your personal field of gravity expands hundreds of trillions of miles into space, and will continue to grow for millions of years even after you die. We are all eternal, immortal in a way.

Any object with mass exhibits a gravitational field. So since the moment we are born our gravitational field begins to expand into an ever-growing sphere in the speed of light!

Gravity eternally deflates. Our gravity field weakens over distance, but never reaches zero.

So just to give you an idea of how fast that is, here's a little data -  8.3 minutes after we're born, our field of gravity is touching the surface of the sun. 5.5 hours later it reaches Pluto. By the age of one, our field of gravity extends in a sphere around the Earth with a diameter of 11.8 trillion miles. By the time we turn 30 years old, our field of gravity extends 300 trillion miles around us into space!

Still feel small and inconsequential?

Even after we die, our gravity continues to exist forever, infinitely stretching out into the universe, trillions and trillions of light years away. Basically everyone, every living being, alive or not, is travelling through the depths of space. Fading, but never disappearing.

So before you say, or think, you're not important enough, remember this.

Let us know if you liked these or not. We'll be sure to come up with more if you do.
