but there are some disease caused by climate change. An example, dengue mosquitoes they thrive in hot climate and not cold climate. So when the earth gets warmer, more areas for them to inhabit

i read about the components beneath the earh surface, they are very hard. Even if u nuke the surfaces, the earth will still stay intact, based on how the earth form. It seems at one time the surface of the earth was very hot during its early days, this means that even if there's a nuke war which destroy the surface of the earth, everything on it, the earth will survive and it will start with microorganism growing and then more complicated beings will appear later on. So a good question is whether if there are other beings which have intelligence or higher intelligence than us in the beginning bcoz the human species and its closer relative are just a fragment of the age of the planet. So why is it not possible that there could be higher intelligent beings? The other surfaces itself is dynamics, tectonic plates moving, some go down, some go up. Earth quakes, lava, these can wiped out the surface evidence. In fact the plates are still moving, just that no beings had survived long enough to tell the stories.

but there could be other things behind reality, the part where we can't feel or see. There's some clues to show the reality that we see or feel is an illusion. If is such case, who is maintaining this illusion and why? I noticed some weird things too, some unexplainable stuffs. Is like everything is actually cramped up, infos are actually flowing here and there BUT is it really flowing here and there are that there are actually not there, is just that reality is not real, just that the info is all in the mind itself, that could be why everything is cramped up. I been reading about metaphysics, i noticed some weird connections, what is explained, is somehow related to my experience, the points are there.

so now the question is if reality is not real, this could mean that our understanding nature of reality is wrong, it also means u don't need a rocket to fly to mars or to the stars.

as i mentioned before, infos are actually cramped up, info flowing here and there, there could be some scifi movies that we see may have facts in them, possibly we don't realised this. First time when i saw the matrix movies, i thought how can it be possible, is crazy, but then years later, my view change, is possible based on experiences but this computer or whatever, is not made of semiconductor,
