Vampires were created in the 18th century when a widespread disease killed many, while infected with this disease many times the infected would cough up blood.

This caused the people of that time with there TERRIBLE medical knowledge to believe the disease was a result of something occult, Thus the Vampire. The vampire was “SUPPOSED” to be a person that had made a deal with evil to have life after death. But the only way to have life after death was to have the presence of blood so vampires were forced to feed off the blood of the living during the night. They couldn’t go out during the day else they would melt in the sun(see how evil ripped them off) Their bite was thought to be infectious because the disease spread to so many people.

Mysterious Lochness Monster : is it true?

Lochnessmonster

World famous lake monster said to live in the cold, dark depths of Loch Ness in Scotland.

The Loch Ness Monster is possibly the most well known cryptozoological creature in the world with thousands of tourists flocking to the loch each year to see if they can catch a glimpse of the elusive beast. History One of the earliest reported sightings of the monster was over 1400 years ago when St. Columba commanded the beast to retreat after it had attacked several people in the River Ness. Modern sightings begun in ernest in the 1930′s. In 1933 a family driving their car along the edge of Loch Ness encountered a large lumbering beast crossing the road in front of them. In 1934 surgeon Robert Kenneth Wilson took a photograph of the creature in the Loch that became the most famous image of the monster – showing a long slender neck and head protruding from the depths. For decades the picture was thought to be the most convincing piece of evidence for its existence until it was finally revealed to be a fake, the surgeon had actually taken a photograph of a model neck and head mounted on a toy submarine.

Jules Verne was born in Nantes, in France, to Pierre Verne, an attorney, and his wife, Sophie Allote de la Fuÿe. Jules spent his early years at home with his parents in the bustling harbor city of Nantes. The family spent summers in a country house just outside the city, in Brains on the banks of the Loire River. Here Jules and his brother Paul would often rent a boat for one franc a day. The sight of the many ships navigating the river sparked Jules’s imagination, as he describes in the autobiographical short story “Souvenirs d’Enfance et de Jeunesse”. At the age of nine, Jules and Paul, of whom he was very fond, were sent to boarding school at the Saint Donatien College (Petit séminaire de Saint-Donatien). As a child, he developed a great interest in travel and exploration, a passion he showed as a writer of adventure stories and science fiction. His interest in writing often cost him progress in other subjects.

Albert Einstein was a German theoretical physicist who developed the theory of general relativity,  effecting a revolution in physics. For this achievement, Einstein is often regarded as the father of modern physics.While best known for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2 (which has been dubbed “the world’s most famous equation”), he received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics “for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect”.  The latter was pivotal in establishing quantum theory within physics.
Near the beginning of his career, Einstein thought that Newtonian mechanics was no longer enough to reconcile the laws of classical mechanics with the laws of the electromagnetic field. This led to the development of his special theory of relativity. He realized, however, that the principle of relativity could also be extended to gravitational fields, and with his subsequent theory of gravitation in 1916, he published a paper on the general theory of relativity. He continued to deal with problems of statistical mechanics and quantum theory, which led to his explanations of particle theory and the motion of molecules. He also investigated the thermal properties of light which laid the foundation of the photon theory of light. In 1917, Einstein applied the general theory of relativity to model the structure of the universe as a whole.
