Weird Scientific Facts

in #science7 years ago (edited)

Here are some weird scientific and incredible facts that we did not learn at school. This list is very short though, so I am counting on you guys to add some of your own incredible science facts in the comments section. :)

1- Polar Bear Liver

If you eat polar bear liver you will most probably die as human can't have that much Vitamin A

2- Honey never gets old

Honey doesn't spoil, you can eat three thousand years old honey

3- Sun and Moon

If Sun is like beach ball then Jupiter will be like golf ball and the Earth will be the size of a pea

4- Octopus

Octopuses have not one, not two but three hearts and nine brains

5- Earth's Oxygen

Twenty percent of Earth’s oxygen is produced by the Amazon rain forest

6- Stomach Acid

The Acidity in Stomach is enough to dissolve razor blades

7- Bones in Human body

A Normal adult human skeleton has two hundred and six bones, On the other hand babies are born with about two hundred and seventy bones. Some merges together as their bodies grow

8- Weight

Someone who weighs sixty eight kilos on this planet moves the scales at only eleven kilos on the moon. Its gravity much lower than earth because the moon is just one percent the mass of Earth

9- Thirst

Camels can drink around one hundred and thirteen liters of water in just thirteen minutes. The water is stored in camel's blood stream

10- Too Hot

In 1922 the highest temperature recorded was 57.8 Celsius in a city in Libya. Scientists say this is the hottest temperature ever recorded on the planet

Great article....Camel stores fat in their hump...

Thanks :) yep

Octopusses have three hearts?! Thats insane!

and nine brains :) Amazing isn't it

How the- How did scientist found out that the stomach acids are just acid enough to melt razor blades? How did the idea even began?? I have so many questions!!

Thanks for comment... Human stomach contain acid which is powerful enough to ruin even metal, acids are measured on pH scale, it goes from 0 to 14 with 0 being high acidic and 14 being low. Stomach acid has pH measurement from 1 to 3 and this is approx same value of acid used in batteries and this acid if put on piece of wood it would eat it right through, question arises how come this acid doesn't drill a hole in our stomach well that's because there are special stomach cells to protect it and builds a protecting coating around stomach walls.

Well, when you apply logic to it then I guess the answer comes basically on its own... sorry haha, cool post tho, it is quite impressive.

Glad you liked it :) Happy Steeming

@netspikes Lol thanks for the info, I was wondering about that

you are welcome :)

May I just point out number 3 is incorrect. You can fit 1 million Earths in the Sun!

Thanks for your comment :)

The Sun weighs about 333000 times as much as Earth. It is so large that about 1,300,000 planet Earths can fit inside of it
