Which is the scariest planet?

 In terms of hospitality?

So HD 189733b is probably a planet you wouldn't want to be on.

Located about 64.5 light-years from Earth, this planet is about 13% larger than Jupiter.

Besides, it can hold a little over 1400 Earths, and it has a pretty hot temperature of around 1800°C (3272°F) at times. To give you some perspective, iron melts at 1535°C or 2795°F, so you don't stand much chance of survival.

And that's not the most interesting part about this exoplanet.

If you happen to survive its extremely hot atmosphere, then you will be able to experience another of its main attributes: the wind speed.

With a speed of approximately 5,400 miles per hour (8,690 km/h), its wind speed is the fastest recorded on any planet. The wind is capable of reaching seven times the speed of sound.

The best part is that the winds bring silicate particles and sometimes it rains molten glass.

In short, HD 189733b is a place you wouldn't want to be.

What is the scariest animal that very few people know about?

 This animal isn't very well known, but it's quite creepy. It's called the cigar leaf shark or cookie cutter shark.

This is a very small shark that lives in all the warm oceans of the world, measuring less than 50 cm in size, but it will attack anything. They have even damaged submarines.

They live at depths of up to 4,000 meters, but come up to the surface at night to feed. Their hunting strategy involves taking a bite in one go, tearing off a part of their prey, and then returning to the deep sea.

They are called "cookie cutters" because they leave distinctive scars on their prey.

While attacks by these sharks are rare due to the depths they inhabit, there has been at least one reported incident: an attack on a man swimming in the open sea at night. However, swimming in the open sea at night is generally not a good idea…

What's the scariest thing archaeologists have ever discovered?

 When archaeologists opened the tomb of Liu He, the Haihun ruler of the Han Dynasty, they discovered a trove of money. This included 5,330,000 ancient copper coins, weighing approximately 10 tons, and 358 gold cakes.

A distant relative of the royal family, Liu He was emperor of the Han Dynasty for 27 days.

However, he couldn't do the job. He loved music and chess, but didn't really know how to be an emperor.

Unsurprisingly, he was quickly overthrown, and moved south with his treasures.

He died in his 30s from eating too much cantaloupe.

What are some of the scariest places in the world?

 I'd say this place is one of the creepiest places on the planet...

Do you recognize him?

At its peak, it was the most densely populated place on Earth...

At its peak in 1959, there were 5,259 people here, with a population density of 216,264 people per square mile.

By comparison, Hong Kong in 2011 had a population density of approximately 17,000 people per square mile.

Living conditions were almost like prisons, and families had to share kitchens and sleep in bathrooms.

Although most of the structures were 9 stories high, there were no elevators.

So, people moved around by going up and down very unstable stairs to go from floor to floor and through tunnels to go from one building to another.

This staircase was known as the stairway to hell!

Actually, it is an island that was inhabited between 1887 and 1974 and at one time, it was a coal mine.

It is also the first place in the world to use reinforced concrete to build apartment buildings.

Have you already discovered where this place is?

No? Very well, I'll tell him.

It is an island off the southwest coast of Japan, about nine miles from Nagasaki, and was owned by the Mitsubishi Corporation until 2002.

It's called Hashima Island.

When it was abandoned, all the mining equipment and apartment furniture were left behind. There's even an old, rusty X-ray machine in what used to be the doctor's office.

Do you have the courage to go there?

Well, maybe, there are regular tourist visits to the island for those who like to take pictures of scary abandoned places.

I'm sure I wouldn't want to spend the night there alone!

It was even used as a set in the James Bond movie Skyfall.

Do you recognize it now?

I thought I could!

What is the scariest theory known to humans?

 This short story, written in 2009 by American author Andy Weir, is beautiful, terrifying, and thought-provoking. It offers the most unique interpretation of the universe and humanity I have ever read.

egg:

You died on your way home.

It was a car accident. There was nothing particularly noteworthy about it, but it was still fatal. You left behind your wife and two children. It was a painless end. The paramedics did their best, but to no avail. Your body was completely shattered, and believe it, you are in a better state than when you were alive.

And that's when we met.

"What...what happened?" you asked. "Where am I?"

"You are dead," I said coldly. There's no need to hold back.

"The truck was skidding..."

"Yes," I said.

"Am I... am I dead?"

"Yes, but there's no need to be sad. After all, everyone dies someday," I said.

You looked around. Nothingness. Just you and me. "Where am I?" you asked. "Is this the afterlife?"

"It's alright," I said.

"Are you God?" you asked.

"Yes," I replied. "I am God."

"My children... my wife," you said.

"Are they okay?"

"That's what I'd like to see," I said. "You just lost someone, and your biggest concern is your family. That's wonderful."

You looked at me with interest. To you, I probably didn't seem like a god. Just a man, or perhaps a woman. A vaguely authoritative figure, maybe. More like an elementary school teacher than a god.

"Don't worry," I said. "They'll be fine. Your children will remember you as a perfect person. They didn't even have time to feel contempt for you. Your wife will cry in public, but she'll be secretly relieved inside. To be honest, your marriage was falling apart. If that's any consolation, she'll feel incredibly guilty about being relieved."

"Ah," you said. "So, what happens now? Do I go to heaven or hell?"

"Neither," I said. "You will be reincarnated."

"Ah," you said. "So the Hindus were right then."

"Every religion is right in its own way," I said. "It feels good to walk and talk, so please follow me."

We walked on, moving forward through nothingness. "Where are we going?" you asked.

"We're not going anywhere in particular," I said. "It just feels good to walk and talk."

"So, then what is the purpose?" you asked. "When I'm reborn, I'll be just a blank slate, right? I'll become a baby. So, all the experiences and things I've done in this life will have no meaning."

"That's not true!" I said. "You have all the raw knowledge and experience from your past within you. You just don't remember it now."

I stopped walking and grabbed your shoulder. "Your soul is far more wonderful, beautiful, and vast than you can imagine. The human heart can only hold a fraction of what you have. It's like putting your finger in water and seeing if it's cold or warm. You put a part of yourself into a container, and when you take it out, you gain all the experience that the container held."

For the past 48 years as a human being, you have yet to expand and feel a part of your vast consciousness. If we spend a long time here, you will begin to remember everything. But there is no point in doing so in each lifetime."

"So, how many times have I been reincarnated?"

"Many times. Many, many times. I've lived many different lives," I said. "This time, I'll be a peasant girl in China in 540 AD."

"Huh? What? Are you going to send me back in time?"

"Well, technically speaking, yes. Time, as you know, only exists in your universe. It's different where I am."

"Where are you?" you asked.

"Yes," I explained. "I came from somewhere. Somewhere else. And there are other beings like me. You might want to know what it's like there, but honestly, I can't really comprehend it."

"Oh," you said, a little disappointed. "But wait. If I had met myself at a different point in the past, we might have been able to connect."

"Of course. It happens often. And both lives are only aware of their own lifespans, and they don't even realize that it's happening."

"So, is that the whole point?"

"Are you serious?" I said. "Are you seriously asking about the meaning of life? Isn't that a little too formulaic?"

"Well, I think it's a reasonable question," you insisted.

I looked into your eyes. "The meaning of life, the reason I created this entire universe, is so that you may mature."

"Are you talking about humanity? Do you want us to mature?"

"No, it's just you. This entire universe was created for you. With each new life you experience, you grow, mature, and become greater and more intelligent."

"Is it just me? What about other people?"

"No one else exists," I said. "In this universe, it's just you and me."

You stared intently at me. "But all people on Earth..."

"It's all you. It's your own different reincarnations," I said.

You stared at me in silence. "Am I everyone?!"

"You understand now, right?" I said, patting him lightly on the back.

"Am I all the people who have ever existed?"

"And also all human beings that will exist in the future," I added.

You remained silent.

"Am I Abraham Lincoln?"

"And he is also John Wilkes Booth," I replied.

"Am I Hitler?" you asked in surprise.

"And also the millions of people he killed," I said.

"Am I a yes?"

"And also all the people who followed him," I said.

You have become quiet.

"Every time you abused someone, you were also abusing yourself. Every kind act you performed was directed at yourself. The happiness and sorrow that every human being has experienced are things you will experience, or will experience in the future."

You thought about it for a long time.

"Why?" you asked me. "Why do you do all this?"

"Because one day you will become like me. You will become a member of our species. You will become my child."

"Wow," you said, sounding incredulous. "Am I a god?"

"No, you are not God yet. You are still a fetus. You are still growing. You will be born when you have fully grown and have lived through all the lives of all human beings throughout all ages."

"Therefore, this entire universe is just..."

"It's an egg," I replied. "Now it's time to move on to the next life," I said.

And then I sent you off on your journey.

What are some of the scariest real photos of the ocean or its contents?

 The ocean has a bottom with a hole that juts out directly below you.

Stingrays as far as the eye can see.

One thing about the open ocean is that we don't really know what's lurking beneath the ship.

An aerial view of an island with a clear bottom shows the vastness of the underwater landscape. Beautiful yet terrifying.

A huge, gaping hole that juts deep into the ocean floor.

Eel Park.

The ocean is very deep and largely unexplored .

Deep sea fishing.

Who was the scariest Terminator?

 The T-1000.

Why did I choose the T-1000 when there are better model like the,

T-X which comes equipped with onboard weapons which includes plasma cannons, flamethrowers among other things. Not to mention it can also repair itself due to liquid metal covering it's exoskeleton and controls other machines.

T-3000 ( nanomachine son ) which can form stabbing weapons and repair much faster and is immune to firearms, can travel at high speed and also phase through solid objects.

Rev-9 which has the ability to separate into two autonomous units which can work on its mission separately or take multiple opponents at the same time.

The reason why I picked the T-1000 as the scariest terminator is because skynet was afraid of it. What terminator is scarier than the terminator skynet himself feared.

Remember skynet didn't mass produced T-1000. Why? Because T-1000 has high possibilities to go rogue. In other words, skynet feared it could gain self awareness and act on it's own and go against its creator (skynet) just like skynet went against its creator (humans).
