Fantastic scientific facts

in #science6 years ago

 Scientists discover something every day, invent something and predict something. And each time this "something" takes a normal decent man a brain. It becomes clear that the world is still a mystery to us, even the world that is right under our feet. We are again confronted with a wall of ignorance, which with every known fact gives rise to more and more questions. The world is surprising.

Coconut water can be administered intravenously. When the patient is very dehydrated, physiological saline is often injected into the bloodstream to replace fluids and electrolytes. In those rare cases when medical saline is not at hand, it is possible to introduce coconut water, the composition of which is rich in sodium, potassium and sugars. That is, coconuts can replace blood plasma in extreme circumstances. However, we recommend to consume water of this plant in the traditional way.

The cubic meter of a neutron star weighs more than all the water in the Atlantic Ocean. Neutron stars are those stars that are destroyed under the influence of their own gravity and subsequently become small and dense objects that consist mainly of neutrons. They can have a mass of two of our suns packed in a radius of 30 kilometers. You can translate everything into human dimensions. For example, if you could take a piece from a neutron star the size of a washing machine, it would weigh about 400 billion tons. True, you will not be able to evaluate the effect, since the gravitational tidal forces will tear you to pieces.

The squid has a bra in the form of a donut. In general, any octopus and cuttlefish are bizarre in terms of organs, but giant squids are even more amazing. They have a hole in the brain - in the middle. Who made it? Why is she there at all? It's all about the esophagus. Food should pass through the brain because of the very design of the body. Therefore, the risk of brain damage when swallowing large pieces is huge. It is for this reason that squid try to break food before eating, guided by the old farewell message of all the grandmothers of the world - chew before swallowing.

The game in "Farm" takes more time than the formation of the whole of agriculture. There is such a dull game-Framville. Each month, it is visited by about 290 million people. Together they spend 105,887 years planting virtual beds, and counting livestock numbers on their computers. This is about ten times longer than mankind was engaged in real agriculture. It sounds like nothing can be done with this world.

Cleopatra lived closer to the time of landing on the moon than to the construction of the Great Pyramid at Giza. This is to talk about the fact that time is an extremely magical and incomprehensible term for us. Not only is it relatively, it also distorts our understanding of the world. For example, Cleopatra. She was born at the moment when the Great Pyramid at Giza was already 2530 years old. That is, this beautiful (judging by all historical sources) woman was much closer to us than to Ancient Egypt. It's amazing.

Cyberbug Worw


As far as we can understand, the brain consists simply of a set of electrical signals. Human brain signals are still too complex for scientists to be repeated. But the worm is another matter. This creature is more primitive than we are, and because of it will come out an excellent cyborg - that's exactly what they thought in the OpenWorm project.
What did the "mad scientists" create this time? It's okay, just displayed the connections between the 302 neurons of the worm and hooked them into the software. The software, in turn, was invested simply in the robot's lego. And now this leg-robot rides, thinking that he is a worm. Science has gone too far or not far enough? Watch the video and draw your own conclusions.
