30 UNBELIEVABLE SCIENCE FACTS THAT WILL SHOCK YOUR MIND

INTRODUCTION FOR THIS POST

In this post, you will find out many amazing science facts. As we know, science plays an important role in our lives. Science benefits us by assisting us in improving our way of life, our quality of life, and our ability to help others. In these unprecedented times, science is never out of the spotlight. And whether it’s chemistry, biology, or physics you’re interested in, these unbelievable science facts will blow your mind.

10 FACTS THAT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND (type=large)

• 50% of the world’s oxygen is produced by the sea:

Our first thought may be the rainforest. But did you know half of the world’s oxygen is actually produced by plankton, seaweed, and other ocean-based photosynthesis.

• Babies have more bones than adult

Babies have around 300 bones at birth. This extra flexibility means they pass through the birth canal and enable rapid growth. With age, many of the bones fuse. Most adults have 206 bones in their skeleton.

• There are more trees on the planet than stars in the solar system:

According to experts from NASA, there are up to 400 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, but the number of trees on Earth is estimated to be more than 3 trillion.

• Bananas are radioactive:

Bananas contain potassium, and because potassium decays, the yellow fruit becomes slightly radioactive.

• Humans have inherited genes from other species:

Our genome contains up to 145 genes mutated from bacteria, fungi, other single-celled organisms, and viruses.

• The human stomach can dissolve razor blades:

If you ever swallow a razor blade, don’t panic. The human body is more capable than you think. Acids are ranked on a scale from 0 to 14—the lower the pH level, the stronger the acid. Human stomach acid is typically between pH 1.0 and 2.0, meaning that it has an incredibly strong pH. In a study published in the journal Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, scientists found that the "thickened back of a single-edged blade" dissolved after two hours of immersion in stomach acid. That’s just one of many fun facts about the human body you never learned in school.

• Rats laugh when they’re tickled:

These creatures are more dynamic than we think. Rats have the ability to "laugh" when tickled. A video from National Geographic demonstrates that rats respond positively to tickling, and they even chase after the researcher’s hand in a playful manner.

• Hot water freezes faster than cold water:

This may seem counterintuitive, but it’s called the Mpemba effect. Scientists now believe this is because the velocities of water particles have a specific disposition while they’re hot that allows them to freeze more readily. If proven correct, this finding could also be applied to everyday things, like cooling

 down electronic devices, according to research out of 

 the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid.

• There are more trees on Earth than stars in our galaxy:

NASA experts believe there could be anywhere from 100 billion to 400 billion stars in the Milky Way. However, a 2015 paper published in the journal Nature estimated that the number of trees around the world is much higher: 3.04 trillion.

• Solar flares are incredibly powerful:

The energy solar flares release is equivalent to millions of 100-megaton atomic bombs exploding at once. It’s a good thing the Earth’s atmosphere protects us from their radiation.
