Particles Interacting:

A theory called the quantum entanglement theory says that particles can influence each other even if they are separated by great distances (even billions of miles away from one another). When one of two particles change, some invisible force causes the other particle to change regardless of the distance between them. The force that is connecting these particles would have to be traveling way faster than light ( 3 x 10^6 m/s) . Scientists are actually attempting to use these ideas to develop computers capable of communicating over vast distances. 

 

The works of algae:

Scientists believe that algae first evolved roughly 2.7 billion years ago. Soon after this oxygen began to exist in our atmosphere, but why? Photosynthesis was performed by primitive plants ,and algae released oxygen which then gradually built up in the atmosphere. Eventually the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere enabled animals to evolve.  

 

Homogenous reactions:

A homogenous reaction is one where the states of matter of the products and the reactants are all the same (homo means the same). In most cases the solvent (e.g. water) determines the state of matter for the overall reaction. An example would be the synthesis (production of a substance by the union of chemical elements) from a carbon monoxide-hydrogen mixture is a gaseous homogenous mixture. At equilibrium (where the rate of forward and reverse reaction are equal) the reactants and products are all gases: CO gas + 2H(2) gas goes to 2NH(3) gas.
