Amazing science facts that will blow your mind

Have you ever wondered where oxygen comes from? Your first thought may be a rain forest, but sea creatures bite on the hook. Plankton, algae and other photosynthesis produce more than half of the world's oxygen. We know the answer to this and other fun scientific facts, but here are other ocean secrets that scientists cannot tell.

Earth's oxygen is produced by the ocean

Cold water heats faster than hot water

Researchers investigating the cause of the mpimba effect also made this discovery. As expected, he called the incident the reverse effect of empamba.

Some metals are so reactive that they come into contact with water

There are some metals, including potassium, sodium, lithium, rubidium, and cesium, which are so reactive that they immediately oxidize (or tarnish) when exposed to air. They can also explode when they fall into the water! All elements try to be chemically stable, in other words, electrons have a complete outer covering. To achieve this, metals flow electrons. Alkali metals have only one electron in their outer shell, which makes them extremely eager to transmit this unwanted passenger to another element through the junction. As a result, they form compounds with other elements so easily that they do not exist independently in nature.

Water can exist in three states simultaneously

This is called triple boiling, and at that temperature water exists as a gas, a liquid, and a solid. Very specific circumstances are required to achieve this, so don't even think about trying it at home. Have you not filled out fun scientific data? Take a look at these other "facts" that you always believe are factually incorrect.

In 2.3 billion years, it will be too hot for life on Earth

Over the next few hundred million years, the sun will continue to get faster and warmer. In just 2 billion years, the temperature will be high enough to evaporate our oceans, making life on Earth impossible. Our planet will become a vast desert like Mars today. As it expands into a red giant over the next few billion years, scientists predict that the sun will eventually cover Earth completely, spelling the end for our planet.

Polar bears are almost undetectable by infrared cameras

Thermal cameras detect heat lost by a subject in the form of infrared, but polar bears specialize in conserving heat. The bears stay warm due to the thick layer of fat under the skin. Add this to a thick fur coat and they can handle the coldest Arctic day.

It takes 8 minutes, 19 seconds for the light to travel from Sun to Earth

In space, light travels at a speed of 300,000 kilometers (186,000 mi) per second. Even at this breakneck speed, it takes a long time to cover 150 million odd kilometers (93 million miles) between us and the Sun. And eight minutes is still a lot shorter than the five and a half hours that reach Pluto for sunlight.

Earth is a giant magnet

The inner core of the Earth is a sphere of solid iron, surrounded by liquid iron. Variations in temperature and density create currents in this iron, which in turn produce electric currents. Aligned by the Earth's spin, these currents combine to form a magnetic field, which is used by compass needles worldwide.

Flies can move faster than spaceships

The jump of the fly reaches a circular height of three inches (eight centimeters) per millisecond. Acceleration is the change in the speed of an object over time, often measured in gain, causing the earth to accelerate due to gravity (9.8 m / 32.2 ft per square second). The flight test weighed 100 grams, while the space shuttle reached about 5 grams. The flea secret is a flexible, rubber-like protein that allows you to store and release energy like current.

 

The stomach acid is so strong that it can dissolve stainless steel

Your stomach digests food with a highly corrosive hydrochloric acid pH of 2 to 3. This acid also attacks the stomach lining, which is protected by hiding the alkaline bicarbonate solution. The lining still needs to be permanently replaced, and is completely renewed every four days.

Your appendix cannot be a useless organ. Studies show that it can play a role in the immune system as a secondary defense organ, acting as a "refuge" for helpful gut bacteria.
