They just might surprise you.
It doesn’t take long to realize that science is awesome. For example, everyone knows that everything is made of atoms. These atoms have a number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus surrounded by electrons orbiting the nucleus like little moons (simplified explanation). Anyway, the most interesting atoms is that they are 99.99% composed of empty space. For example, a screen that now readers see this article, is composed of atoms. And these atoms are made up of almost nothing. So why people can not see through the screen.
In fact, people can see and feel anything because of natural forces. Roughly speaking, the atoms in the screen (despite the fact that they are in fact mostly empty space) are actually pushing the atoms (again empty space) hands. When a person touches something, he is actually experiencing a repulsive force, which is akin to the force of gravity. And since these “empty” atoms reflect photons, the person can’t see through them. He sees only the photons that are reflected from what is essentially empty space. Sounds completely crazy way. But it is claimed by modern science.
1. 100 million tons
If the thimble to fill in the substance of a neutron star, it would weigh enormously. To be precise, almost 100 million tons.
2. “About blindness”
“False blindness” – the phenomenon in which a blind person observed physiological responses to visual stimuli (e.g., angry faces). At the same time, they are unable to perceive them.
3. The human brain
The human brain consists mainly of water and fat.
4. Billionth of a degree above absolute zero
The coldest place in the known universe was recorded right here, on Earth, in the laboratory. Scientists have managed to almost freeze the atoms using laser cooling. This led to the creation of the temperature of a billionth of a degree above absolute zero.
5. The human brain is steeper than the milky Way
In the human brain has more synapses than stars in the milky Way. In our galaxy of 200 to 400 billion stars.
6. 9 kilometers in the glass
If I remove all the empty space out of its atoms, the greatest mountain on Earth with a height of almost 9 kilometers could be put into the glass.
7. The milky way with raspberry flavor
The same compound that gives the raspberry its flavor, is found throughout the galaxy. All right, the milky way tastes like raspberries (if it, of course, you could try).
8. Naughty time
Everyone used to assume that the rate of flow of time on Earth is a constant. However, according to the experiment, the Havel-Keating, time moves faster if you fly along the equator to the West than when flying East.
9. Nature recommended the division of cells
The process of cell division of the human organism begins with birth and ends only with his death . Exceptions to the rule: the hair, nail donation…
10. The force of gravity
Of the 4 fundamental forces (gravitational, electromagnetic, strong nuclear and weak nuclear) gravity is the weakest observed and least understood.
11. The slippery substance
Lubrication in the knee is one of the most slippery substances known to man.
12. Memories of memories
When one recalls any past event, he actually remembers not the event itself, and the last time he remembered (except first time). In other words, he recalls the memories. It is one of the reasons why human memories are so inaccurate.
13. Leisurely Pluto
Pluto only made 1/3 of a revolution around the Sun since discovery.
14. Earth-sized billiard ball
If Earth was the size of a billiard ball it would be smoother. Ie, on its surface there would be less differences between the high and low points.
15. The waste of the bacteria
Human sweat actually has no smell. The smell comes from the waste bacteria that feed on sweat.
16. Lungs the size of a tennis court
From human lung surface area is about the size of a tennis court.
17. “The matrix”
In the world there are millions of fans of “the Matrix”. In fact, there is no way to prove that people with a scientific point of view are not part of the computer simulation.
18. The human body is cooler the Sun
The human body produces more heat per unit volume than the Sun.
19. Gastric juice
Acid in human stomach is strong enough to dissolve zinc. She never eats the stomach wall.
20. Fire tornado
The Sun often these raging fiery tornado. Often they are in diameter superior to the Earth.
21. Einstein vs Newton
If people used the formula of Newton instead of Einstein’s relativity theory, the world would have been different. For example, the calculations of the GPS ceased to work after a few miles.
22. Water dielectric
Water only conducts electricity because of the impurities in it. Absolutely pure water does not conduct electricity.
