Cosmic Drive: The Andrew Elsan Chronicles (Episode 4 – The Planet That Trembled)

  🌌 Cosmic Drive: The Andrew Elsan Chronicles Episode 4 – The Planet That Trembled When the universe becomes a machine, one soul becomes a rebellion. 🪐 Weekly Release · Friday | 27 February 2026 The universe has noticed the anomaly. Now, the planet itself begins to respond. 🌠 Episode 4 – The Planet That Trembled The tremor did not stop. Across Lyris-9 , the ground shuddered like a living thing struggling to breathe. Mining towers groaned. Energy pylons flickered. Deep within the planet’s crust, the Cosmic Core pulsed wildly—its chains glowing white-hot. Andrew Elsan felt it beneath his feet. The planet was not breaking. It was resisting . Above the atmosphere, the Sentinel hovered in absolute stillness, its presence pressing against reality like a law made visible. Invisible lines of the Cosmic Drive Grid tightened around Lyris-9, correcting its instability. The Sentinel spoke—not with sound, but with certainty. “Deviation detected.” “Correction in progress.” Andrew clenched ...

How does Earth maintain a constant level of oxygen?



It doesn’t! The oxygen level of the planet has varied quite dramatically in the last 500 million years. It was 35 per cent during the Carboniferous period, around 300 million years ago; as the climate, cooled and land plants died off, oxygen fell to as low as 12 per cent by the beginning of the Triassic. Back then, the air at sea level would have felt thinner than at the top of the Alps today.


Burning fossil fuels has reduced oxygen levels very slightly – about 0.057 per cent over the last 30 years. Deforestation only has a small effect because when rainforest is cut down, other plants are usually grown in its place. But it’s marine phytoplankton (plant plankton), rather than trees, that produces about 75 per cent of atmospheric oxygen. Global warming will have a significant impact on phytoplankton, which is a much more serious threat to oxygen levels.

🌿 Can You Live for 150 Years?

🌿 Can You Live for 150 Years? The Extraordinary 60-Year Journey of Dr. Manimaran Introduction In an age dominated by fast food, processed meals, and complex diet trends, one man stands apart by embracing radical simplicity. Dr. Manimaran , an 82-year-old retired pediatrician from Tamil Nadu, has spent the last 60 years living without medicines, relying entirely on a natural, uncooked diet. His bold vision? To live up to 150 years . Living amidst a serene coconut grove near Palani, his life is not just about longevity—it is a philosophy, a discipline, and a challenge to modern living. 🔥 The Core Philosophy: “No Fire, No Disease” At the heart of Dr. Manimaran’s lifestyle lies a striking belief: Cooking destroys the life force of food.

According to him, fire (cooking) alters the natural composition of food, making it harder for the body to process and leading to disease. His p...
