Marvel movies and fan theories are closely associated. Fans divide every little information about movies to join strings in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And, sometimes they come with very trustworthy theories.

 

As per the latest Hollywood news, the new picture of the weapon is widely surfacing the internet is claimed to be used by Iron in Avengers 4. The device was seen for the first time in the Infiniti War at the Avengers headquarter workshop, but no one paid attention to it. Several fan theories have emerged with their views about the picture.

 

Fans believe that this mammoth looking cannon looks like Proton Cannon in Marvel v Capcom video game.

 

A few of others think this is as a new weapon of Iron Man. This theory is more believable as Tony Stark introduced Stark Industries, who had mastered making weapons, before collecting his powerful Iron Man suit. It seems that the owner of the weapon has to make another special weapon to defeat Thanos.

 

A different fan theory suggests that since we last saw Iron Man trapped on the Titan with a Nebula, perhaps a huge cannon was created by the War Machine to bring him back.

Meanwhile, the machine is also related to the curious picture shared by director duo Russo brothers.

Some Hidden Facts That You Must Know About The Eiffel Tower Of Paris

Posted by [email protected] on October 9, 2018 at 8:40 AM Comments comments (0)


The Eiffel Tower in French is called La Tour Eiffel which is one of the most distinguishable places in the world. In the World’s fair of 1889 in Paris, the tower was the centerpiece which was meant to celebrate the centenary of the French Revolution and to show France’s modern mechanical skills globally.
 
Gustave Eiffel built the Eiffel Tower in two years, two months, and five days, using 7,500 tons of iron and 2.5 million bolts. All the hard work behind Eiffel Tower is now the result which dominates the skyline of Paris and its style silhouette has been copied across the globe in China, Las Vegas, Greece and, of course, Paris, Texas.
There are still some secrets hidden behind this recognized tower.

Tower has a secret apartment at the top

When Gustave Eiffel created his name tower, he smartly added a private apartment for himself, where he hosted famous guests like Thomas Edison. The apartment is now open to the public for the tour.

Gustave Eiffel is not the designer of the tower

While Eiffel had earned naming rights for the Tower, there were actually two men who worked for his company — Maurice Koechlin and Emile Nouguier, who sketched the original design according to the original science. Two engineers joined the French architect, Stephen Sauvestre, on the plans of the memorial to enter the competition to choose the main attraction of the World’s fair.

Eiffel Tower was to be broken after 20 years

As it is mentioned earlier also that the Tower was built with the intention of showing France’s industrial power during the World’s Fair, but the plan was to break it after 20 years. Eiffel had smartly installed a radio antenna and a wireless telegraph transmitter in the tower, and the government finally decided that it was very useful for demolition.

Hitler ordered the Eiffel Tower to be destroyed

 
When Germany conquered France during World War II, Hitler ordered that the Eiffel Tower would be broken, but the order was never obeyed. The French resistance fighters took their revenge, although they cut the Tower’s elevator cables so that the Nazis could be forced to climb the stairs to hoist their flag.

The Eiffel Tower is a cousin of sorts to the Statue of Liberty

Before the Eiffel Tower was built, the firm of Eiffel was asked to prepare an internal framework for the Statue of Liberty, which was a task assigned to his trusted employee, Maurice Koechlin. They were successful in proving their iron handicrafts with Lady Liberty first.

There’s a post office in the Eiffel Tower

The Tower fold together at the first floor neighboring the gift shops, there is a small post office. Pick the une postale and a stamp and have mailed it from the post office of Eiffel Tower and it will be delivered with a unique postmark.

The Eiffel Tower doubled as a scientific laboratory

Gustave Eiffel placed a meteorological laboratory on the third floor of the Tower, where he performed studied in physics, aerodynamics, and made a wind tunnel. Eiffel has opened the doors of laboratories to other scientists, to use it for experiments, and cosmic rays as they were discovered in that Tower only.

The Eiffel Tower moves

The structure of heavy iron is wind resistant and swings when a storm arrives. If the weather is worst, it can even move. Stormy wind is not the only factor that can make a huge Tower move, but the heat of the Sun also affects the Tower, that leads to the increment and decrement of iron content which is up to 7 inches.

Eiffel Tower is named after many scientists

 
The French scientists and engineers who worked in the 19th century were not forgotten from history. They not only added their names to the streets of Paris, but 72 of their names have also been engraved on the Eiffel Tower. The engraved tributes were covered, but thanks to the effort of the restoration, they are once again visible, and eagle-eyed visitors (visitors with sharp eyesight) can see the names like Foucault, Dumas, and Perrier cut into the iron.

A lot of efforts are needed to maintain the beauty of the Eiffel Tower

Every seven years, about 60 tonnes of paint is applied to the Tower. This coating of paint not only keeps the so-called Iron Lady (La dame de fer), but it also eliminates the changes of iron rust.

Below the Eiffel Tower is a military bunker

A small piece of history sits under the south pillar of the Tower which is a secret military underground shelter that may connect with nearby Ecole Militaire through a long tunnel. The bunker has now turned into a small museum and the tour groups can see the tiny area.

There’s a Champagne bar at the top

If you are courageous enough to reach the top of the tower, give an award to yourself with a glass of champagne from the champagne bar which is built on the top floor. It is nothing like a glass bubble with a spectacular view.
 


The weight of the Eiffel Tower is mammoth

10,000 tonnes is what the Tower weighs.

Anywhere you observe sounds of the universe that is, you know, what is the most consistent sound that you will hear and that is the essence of life. To understand you're not even a dust particle in the universe and sometimes our ego allows us to think that we're everything. So, I think it's quite astonishing and quite magnificent in a lot of ways. I've started to understand that now... So, I have started to realize strongly that I'm meant to be where I am and this is not random."

And you have to go to the basics what we call in cricket. I think it applies to life as well. There's no rocket science, there's no secret to it."
