Whether you want to know if there are aliens in our skies or how long a human scream can last, these scary science facts are sure to give you the creeps. Although science can sometimes be alarming, it's important not to forget that we aren't living in a horror flick. In fact, science is often more creepy than scary.
One of the most famous science facts is the speed of light. It takes light just 34,700.983,5282 seconds to travel one point in time to another. These numbers may seem incredible, but they are only a small part of the larger picture. You may have heard that there are eight galaxies in the universe. But astronomers recently discovered sixty of them! They're 60 objects in size, and they are spread out over an area as large as the United States.
Other creepy science facts include the fact that there are viruses in the permafrost of the Arctic. These facts are not just scary stories like the Loch Ness Monster. They have real-world implications that can be frightening.
According to the Bible's, the sun revolves round the earth. However, this is just an approximation. Scientists recently discovered that sun does actually rotate. This is not surprising as the sun revolves around Earth each day. Galileo's contemporaries didn't want the telescope to be viewed through.
Another interesting science fact is the presence of extracellular matrix in the human body that can be used as a regrow agent for human fingers. The idea is that the powder, which contains protein, will stimulate total tissue regrowth. It also helps in the treatment of muscle injuries.
This is known scientifically as the Mpemba Effect. This is caused by a particle known as a neutrino. It is the most prevalent particle in the universe. It also helps to cool electronics. But how does this work? What could a particle named after an eerie star do for us all?
There are also some horrifying science experiments. Scientists tricked mice's brains to believe they were being suffocated in one experiment. Then, they breathed high levels of carbon dioxide. The results were pretty disturbing. Some participants believed that the appendages were Barbie-sized.
Another scientific discovery was the discovery that anthrax can survive underground for up to hundreds of years. If the Earth were disturbed, this virus would be released into the air. Another example is the unique sound quality of human screams.
There's also the fact that a large dog swimming in eight Olympic swimming pools worth of water can leech enough neurotoxin to kill 50% of lake invertebrate population within 48 hours. Researchers have also created "power pups" by genetically engineering dogs to remove the myostatin genes.
And if that's not creepy enough, scientists have created a "power pup" by genetically engineering a dog to have the myostatin gene removed. This could be the beginning of a treatment for muscular dysfunction.
FAQ
What is one of the most amazing facts about the human body
Two eyes, two ears, 2 nostrils, 4 limbs, 1 nose, 1 penis and one mouth are all there. You're correct, there are more than 50 parts in our bodies. But, one thing is missing. A heart.
The heart is a pump that circulates blood throughout your body. The blood travels through the veins and arteries, transporting oxygen and nutrients to cells. It also removes carbon dioxide.
The heart pumps about 5 liters blood per minute. This is equivalent to an adult consuming 2-3 cups of coffee per day.
Blood flows through the heart 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. When you're asleep, your heart beats approximately 100 times per hour.
Color of your skin is a good indicator of whether someone is healthy. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels visible on the skin's surface. These small vessels carry blood away from the large blood vessels in the skin back to the heart. If blood flow is blocked, skin can turn blue or purple.
Red blood cells are not available to sickle cell patients. They become very sick when their blood becomes hardened and sticky.
You can use a bandage to stop bleeding if your cut is severe. For wounds to heal properly, blood must flow. To do this, doctors insert a needle through the skin into the vein next to the injury. This allows blood to drain from the area.
The doctor may also insert catheters (catheters), into the artery at the site of the blood clot. This keeps the patient alive till the blood clot dissolves naturally.
How does the brain control the functions in your body?
The brain sends messages to other organs and muscles to ensure they work together. Your brain controls all that happens in your body. It tells both your stomach and lungs what to do; it also controls your legs and arms.
Your brain is made of billions, or neurons, of nerve cells. Neurons communicate by sending electrical signals, called action potentials, on axons. Every neuron has a cell wall around its nucleus. The membrane contains channels that allow ions like sodium and potassium to enter the cell and leave it. The neuron is lit by an electric charge created by the movement of ions.
When a neuron fires, chemicals called neurotransmitters are released into the space between the neuron and the next neuron. Neurotransmitters bind with receptors on the second nerve cell, opening ion channel channels to allow ions in and out. As a result, second neuron fires as well.
Neurotransmitter releases occur when a presynaptic neurons receives an input from another neuron. The impulse travels along the synaptic pathway that connects both neurons. The transmitter binds at the receptors of the post-synaptic Neuron and triggers its firing.
Communication within the nervous system is possible thanks to neurotransmitters. They coordinate brain activity among different parts.
What dark secrets can Hollywood keep from you?
Hollywood is full of secret societies. There are many secret societies in Hollywood. Some are cult-like, where members adhere to strict rules and rituals. Others are clubs for people who share similar interests.
There are also other, more evil organizations that control large parts of the industry. These include the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), the organization that sets film ratings and RIAA(Recording Industry Association of America), the company that sets music licensing fees.
Numerous unions or guilds also represent producers, writers, actors, etc. Large corporations own most major studios and networks of television.
It doesn't matter how secretive a group might seem, someone somewhere knows what they are doing. They shouldn't be fearful, however.
Instead, we should embrace these facts. Because they can help us make better decisions.
They also tell us about the movies that are most likely to succeed and which songs are most popular.
They allow us to make informed decisions about what we buy, watch and listen to.
We can trust their advice and we can ignore it if it contradicts our values.
They are more powerful than ever because we chose to ignore them. They become the ultimate arbiters for taste.
They can be ignored if you don’t like what they have to say.
Let's now look at some lesser-known, but still very real Hollywood secret organizations.
And you'll understand why they're so crucial.
Why do actors end up on the blacklist?
Actors are more likely to be rejected than writers. Actors are likely to be rejected often. It doesn't matter, because you will eventually find someone you love.
Actors have a lot of talent, so they can make a decent living almost anywhere. But most actors don't want to make a lot of money. Actors enjoy acting and telling stories. Actors are likely to be outspoken.
It is possible to be told that you are not suitable for the role, or that you are too old or too young. You might also lose your audition for a film role. It happens all the times.
Once you've been cast you might also be subject to criticism. Some people will say that you look awful or shouldn't wear makeup. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.
Sometimes, you might be criticised for playing a role that isn’t authentic or realistic. Perhaps you're a gay man who everyone believes is straight. Or maybe you play a woman who is supposed to be tough, but she cries a lot.
You might be asked to change the sound of your voice. Sometimes they ask you to sound like a guy or a girl. They want you to sound better most of the time.
To ignore criticisms is the best way to respond. Actors feel like they've failed when told they did wrong. They haven't done any wrong.
They weren't born with the talents that made them famous. Sometimes, no matter what they do, they just don't fit the bill.
Blacklisting can happen for many reasons. Some people don't like actors. Others think that actors are lazy. Others believe actors cheat.
No matter what the reason, you won't be blacklisted if your persistence persists. There are many roles available, and you will find them.
You'll succeed as long as you keep trying.
