You pick it up and fit it on the palm of your hand before crushing it by accident. Suddenly you feel a slight sting on your ankle. You look down and see that some people are shoving you away while most people are running away in fear. Some are taking pictures of you, while others are shouting at you to go away.

You’re sitting in the car, waiting for the traffic light to turn green. The temperature’s so high today it seems the city is about to melt. You look at the traffic light and notice it’s deforming. Drops are dripping down from it. You don’t believe this is really happening, so you’re rubbing your eyes with your palms and find your silver ring is slowly flowing down your finger. You scream in fear because you expect the molten metal to scorch your skin, but nothing happens. The traffic light completely drains down. You want to press the gas pedal, but there’s only some kind of liquid under your feet. The seat belt unfastens by itself, and the car slowly sags. You open the door, and it falls off.

Why Planes Shadows Disappear When They Take Off

A shadow is cast when you have an object in the path of light. Light travels in a straight line, which is why you always get a shadow when something’s in front of a light source — birds and airplanes are no exception. They DO cast shadows, but we can’t see them.The closer the object to a source of light, the denser its shadow, and vice versa: if the object is too far away, its shadow disperses. A commercial airplane flies at 35,000-40,000 [ft] [12,191 m] feet — at such a height, you barely see the plane, let alone its shadow. It’s too far from the Earth’s surface, so its shadow is scattered, and you can’t see it — the same goes for birds.
