The crystals in geode rocks form when mineral-rich liquids seep into cracks in a rock, and slowly begin to grow over thousands of years. The supersaturated salt solution will come together or precipitate into a crystal. These are just a few of the many videos and pages on the internet that show science and technology hoaxes. All it takes is some creativity and editing magic, after all.
Perhaps, however, these content producers should be held accountable for misinformation or even possible endangerment. Some of the hacks mentioned are potential fire hazards, and other projects can be outright dangerous. Case in point: this viral crystal creation hack , which actually uses some toxic materials.
Email Address. Jess is on her way to getting her license in engineering. On the side of studying, she spends her time writing, cooking, and watching movies and plays. We try to respond to all fact check feedback within 5 working days. Fact Check with Logically. Scientists can turn peanuts into diamonds. Reference links. Related Keywords Science. I found a typo or a broken link in your fact check. Just like the movement you're creating and the corresponding sound you hear, slower waves produce lower sounds, while faster waves produce higher sounds.
Peregrine falcons can top speeds of mph while cheetahs can only reach speeds of 75mph. While mammals have seven neck vertebrae, sloths have eight or nine. The reasons for the extra vertebrae are not clear, but might contribute to their ability to turn their necks farther than other mammals. Female mosquitoes use the blood from humans and animals as a protein source for their eggs. Additionally, male mosquitoes do not have the same mouth part female mosquitos do that are needed for sucking blood.
Some scientists state that consciousness, the ability to be aware of yourself and your surroundings, is caused by physical properties. They use mathematics to graph an experience and map this experience to the brain. It can actually flow even faster than a sprinting greyhound! Pyroclastic lava flows, similar to the Mount St. Over the course of one year, this will amount to 16 million storms across the Earth!
Scientists estimate that each human cell would contain about six feet of DNA if stretched end to end. Multiply that length by the trillions of cells in our bodies and you get a lot of trips to the Moon! For the next six months, the sun is always visible in the sky.
Although the sun is below the horizon for the next six months, the area is not in total darkness. The pole experiences periods of twilight before and after the lights go out.
The South Pole follows a similar pattern, but in reverse! When the sun rises at the North Pole, it sets at the South Pole. A butterfly's taste sensors are located on their feet, which is how they taste their food. An astronaut's burps are different than those experienced on Earth. If an astronaut does burp in space, it comes out as a wet burp!
Add up the speed of the rotating earth, the earth revolving around the sun, the sun moving in the milky way, and the milky way moving through the universe and you get one fast speeding ticket.
Wright Brothers' first flight was December 17, and Apollo 11 was July , , so roughly The flight for the crew of Apollo 11 lasted for 8 days, 3 hours, 18 minutes, 35 seconds. This means if you could drive straight up going 60mph you would arrive in outer space in just over an hour's time.
Male seahorses have a pouch on the ventral, or front-facing, side of its tail. For the next days, the male carries the eggs until they baby seahorses emerge. Water covers nearly 70 percent of of the globe. The majority is undrinkable, ocean-based water. Scientists compare DNA sequences in many ways. We also look at the number of times these regions repeat, for example one person might have the sequence GGTCCTAG and another have that same sequence repeated 3 times.
Our methods are continually being updated, but we always find that human DNA is overwhelmingly more similar than it is different. If you assume a grain of sand has an average size and you calculate how many grains are in a teaspoon and then multiply by all the beaches and deserts in the world, the Earth has roughly and we're speaking very roughly here 7.
If we have a Hubble telescope and a calculator, we can count distant galaxies, faint stars, red dwarfs, everything ever recorded in the sky. The population of stars jumps enormously, to 70 thousand million, million, million stars in the observable universe a estimate , so that we've got multiple stars for every grain of sand.
That's all of the facts for now, but we have plenty more to discover! Check out our cooler than cool exhibit halls to amaze your brain even more! Explore The Museum.
Peanut butter can be converted into diamonds. Everything you see happened in the past. Pumpkins are a member of the berry family. We know, what?!?! An average cumulus cloud weighs more than 70 adult T. Dinosaurs are not really extinct. If put in a big enough bath tub, Saturn would float. Our state reptile, the Texas Horned Lizard, can squirt blood from its eye sockets.
It takes the International Space Station 92 minutes to orbit Earth. You are always looking at your nose, your brain just chooses to ignore it.
The match was invented after the lighter.
