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. While science can be disturbing, it's important to understand that we're not living in a horror movie. In fact, science is often more creepy than scary.
The speed of light is one of science's most well-known facts. It takes light 34,700,983,528 second to travel from one place in space to the next. While those numbers may seem staggering, they are only part of a larger picture. You may have heard that there were eight galaxies throughout the universe. Astronomers recently discovered sixty! They are equivalent to 60 objects, spread across an area nearly as vast as the United States.
Other creepy science facts include the fact that there are viruses in the permafrost of the Arctic. These facts are more real-world than spooky tales like the Loch Ness Monster.
According to the Bible the sun revolves around earth. But this is only an approximation. Scientists recently discovered the sun rotates. This is not surprising since the sun rotates around Earth every day. Galileo's contemporaries didn't want the telescope to be viewed through.
A fascinating science fact is that extracellular matrix powder in the human body can be used to regrow fingers. The theory is that the powder (which contains protein) will stimulate total tissue growth. It is also useful in treating muscle injuries.
This effect is scientifically known as the Mpemba phenomenon. This is caused by a particle known as a neutrino. It's the most abundant particle in all of the universe. It is also useful in cooling electronics. But how does this happen? And what good can a particle named in honor of a strange star do?
There are also some horrifying science experiments. Scientists tricked mice's brains to believe they were being suffocated in one experiment. They were then forced to inhale high levels of carbon dioxide. These results were quite alarming. Some study participants believed the appendages resembled Barbie's.
Another scientific discovery is that anthrax can remain underground for hundreds of thousands of years. If the Earth were disturbed, this virus would be released into the air. Another is that human screams may have a unique audio quality.
A large dog that swims in eight Olympic-sized swimming pools can release enough neurotoxin within 48 hours to kill half of the lake invertebrate population. And if that wasn't enough, scientists have created a "power pup" by genetically engineering a dog to have the myostatin gene removed.
As if this weren't creepy enough scientists have created a "power-pup" by genetically engineering a puppy to have its myostatin gene removed. This could be a way to treat muscular dystrophy.

Is there a Hollywood blacklist?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
However, the list isn’t public. According to our knowledge, the names of these people aren't known. But, here's why it matters.
The secret reason is that directors and actors who are on the blacklist would not be able to find employment. They would go out of business which would mean that studios would lose their money. That would result in a reduction in spending on movies. This would result in fewer opportunities available for blacklisted filmmakers. They would then go bankrupt.
This could lead to more victims.
When someone tries making an Oscar winning movie they might be asked for a contract. This means that they can't publicly criticize their employer. The same goes for any director or producer who wants to get nominated for an award.
This is why you'll hear about directors being pressured by producers to take scenes out of their films. Directors threaten to abandon projects that don’t conform to their vision.
This is why there is a Hollywood blacklist. Negative comments about your employer will most likely lead to you being unemployed. That's bad for everyone.
Problem is, many people have been falsely charged. It's been a struggle to get their names cleared.
This must be stopped before it happens again. Everyone should have the right to speak freely.
So we need to take down the Hollywood blacklist.
Have you ever wondered how much trash is produced worldwide each day?
The United Nations estimates that the average person generates more than 2.5 pounds of waste each day. This adds up to over 25 million pounds of garbage annually!
Most of this trash ends up in landfill dumps or incinerators.But what happens when those dumpsters get full? All that trash ends up being shipped out of country. The trash is then sent out of the country and dumped in countries where it pollutes ecosystems. But, one man has now discovered exactly where this rubbish goes. Mike Sexton is his nickname. He is the owner of Waste Watchers. His job involves monitoring the movements and routes of trash trucks across North America. He then reports back to us on what happens next.
Sexton stated that he finds the job very satisfying. CNN's Sexton said, "We have a lot to enjoy." "We often see large rigs passing through our town and we will follow them. "Sexton started following truck driver almost 20 years back.
"I just fell in love with it," he said.
He loved the story of the driver who pulled into an abandoned gas station near Los Angeles. Sexton said that the man was searching for a place to store his stuff. "He drove down the street and saw this building. He stopped and pulled up, then he went inside. "There were two enormous roll-off containers filled with stuff. The guy took everything out and started filling up the truck again. He then looked around and decided to load everything. There were many old tires, furniture, rags and mattresses. It was a complete mess. But it had been cleared out before he arrived. There wasn’t trash everywhere."
This begs the question: Why? It is because the location used to belong to a recycling centre. People who found out about this facility would drive to it to recycle their trash. Sexton said that people would bring their household items to the building and then leave empty containers behind.
It can happen hundreds of thousands of times per week. It can happen hundreds of time per week. Eventually, the truck is so full of junk it stops running. The owner finally decides to stop using the truck.
But, this isn't the only problem that our planet is facing.
Most of these particles are made up of tiny pieces of plastic.Some of these plastics end up in landfills or incinerators. Others end up in rivers, oceans or the stomachss of fish.
Experts warn that if there is no change, the world could soon be facing a food shortage. One expert said, "If we keep going as we are going, we're never going to make it," but most people don’t seem concerned.
