If you measure the success of a lifeform by how long they manage to exist on Earth, then by far the most successful forms of life have been stromatolites. 

Stromatolites aren’t the sexiest form of life. They still exist on Earth today, but if you have seen them, you might never have known it. 

In addition to having been around a long time, stromatolites are responsible for the entire world that we know today. 

Learn more about stromatolites, the oldest form of life on Earth, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Every single day, the oceans of the world go through a cycle with two high tides and two low tides. 

For thousands of years, no one knew why the tides rose and fell, and even today, most people only have a vague idea of what drives the tides. 

They dictate the lives of many people who live near the sea, and we might even be able to harness their power in the future.

Learn more about how tides work, and why it is more complicated than you probably think, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Prior to the modern era, very few people traveled anywhere. It was rare for anyone to travel more than about 20 miles from where they were born. 

However, there were a few people who managed to travel quite extensively. In particular, there was one man in the 14th century who might have traveled more than any other person up to that point in history. In fact, he was better traveled than even more people alive today.
