Light Fidelity, known as LiFi, uses visible light from LED bulbs to transfer data much faster than radio wave-based WiFi A 2015 test by a Chinese government ministry showed that LiFi can reach speeds of 50 gigabytes per second, at which a movie download can be completed in just 0.3 seconds.

Petrina Murphy, a 41-year-old mom from Queensland, Australia, was in her bathroom when she witnessed something terrifying. What she saw through her skylight would have horrified anyone else. There were a pair of huge python  sitting on it over her shower. “I saw them tangled around each other through the skylight so I got the broom and used the handle to get them to fall out into the shower,” she said “They had really wrapped themselves around each other and their tails were all knotted up. Some people who’ve seen the video have asked if they’re mating.” “But they’re definitely two males fighting. Now, instead of getting away from the two dueling snakes, Petrina just took up her broom again, shut all the doors to close the snakes in, and then casually swept them towards the exit. “They didn’t seem bothered when I was sweeping them out. One took off pretty quickly but the other one kept trying to head in the direction of the bins so I was talking to it.”
