Did You Know... Science and Tech
from AdminT on 06/09/2020 07:44 AMThomas Edison, the inventor of the lightbulb, was actually afraid of the dark?!
Both lightning and thunder occur exactly at the same time. Not at the same time; exactly at the same time. But why do we see the lightning before we hear the thunder? Light is approximately 874,636 times faster than sound! So it takes immediately for light to reach us, while the sound just comes crawling after.
Place a cup of hot water and a cup of normal temp water in the fridge at the same time. The hot water will turn faster to ice than the normal temperature water. Try it now.
Pound for pound, your toungue is the strongest muscle in your body.
And just like finger prints, we have tongue prints. These prints will never be the same as any other person's!
Ants never sleep!
When the moon is directly overhead, you
will weigh slightly less.
Camels have three eyelids to protect themselves from the blowing desert sand.
Minus 40 degrees Celsius is exactly the same as minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
Chocolate can kill dogs, as it contains theobromine, which affects their heart and nervous system.
Women blink nearly twice as much as men!
You can't kill yourself by holding your
breath.
Try this; lick your elbow. It is impossible!
It is physically impossible for pigs to see the sky.
Did you know that as you sneeze, your heart stops for a millisecond?!
Why you should be grateful for sneezing in peace; If you sneeze too hard, you can fracture a rib. If you try to suppress a sneeze, you can rupture a blood vessel in your head or neck, and die.
111,111,111 x 111,111,111 =
12,345,678,987, 654,321
Bullet proof vests, fire escapes,
windshield
wipers and laser printers. They were all invented by women.
Honey is the only food that can never get spoilt. Even the honey found in Pharaoh's tomb, which has been there for thousand and thousand of years, is still perfectly fresh till date.
Just like you can't lick your elbows, crocodiles cannot stick their tongue out.
Snail. That cute little creature can sleep for 3 years.
All polar bears are left handed. All of them. None left out.
Butterflies taste with their feet.
Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump.
In the last 4000 years, no new animals have been domesticated.
When an ant gets intoxicated, it falls on its right side.
You can't see Ultra Violet light. House flies can!
Koala bears spend up to 22 hours a day sleeping. The rest of their time is spent eating & wandering around aimlessly searching for a mate. If they don't find one, eventually they just give up & go back to sleep.
