The Chernobyl elephant's foot was a highly radioactive lava-like mass that burned through several floors of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant starting in April 1986. It reached temperatures of roughly 3000 degrees Fahrenheit (1600 degrees Celsius) until it finally reached the basement and cooled down and solidified. In December of the same year members of the clean-up crew discovered an offshoot of the mass which is now called the elephant's foot. It was extremely radioactive, enough that if you stood next to it when it first formed the radiation could have killed you in roughly five minutes.

There are two common theories about how the universe will end, the big crunch theory and the big freeze theory. The big freeze theory says that the universe will keep on expanding until all atoms are so far apart and the universe reaches a thermodynamic equilibrium that no energy is created and nothing more can happen. This is the most likely of the two theories based on what we can see of the universe's current movements. The second theory, the big crunch, says that the universe will slowly condense and move closer together until it 'crunches' together. This could cause another big bang and the birth of a new universe.

Did you know that part of our brain is not evolved to watch movies?

Let me explain it better. Part of our brain is not evolved to watch movies, TV series, etc., so even though part of our brain knows that what we are watching is not real, the part of our brain I mentioned in the beginning doesn't.

That's why we get scared when we watch horror movies or get sad when watching sad movies.

The same thing applies to when people crush over fictional characters.

It's not weird and people who do are not crazy.

It becomes toxic only when it interfiers with your life and your relationships, but other than that it's completely harmless.
