Physicists have already performed a simple type of teleportation, transferring the quantum characteristics of one atom onto another atom at a different location.

To prove that stomach ulcers were caused by bacteria and not stress, Barry Marshall drank bacterium, developed stomach ulcers, and won the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

The microwave oven was invented by mistake when an engineer testing a magnetron tube noticed that the radiation from it melted the chocolate bar he had in his pocket.

Drowning in salt water is different than drowning in freshwater. it takes longer, and salt water draws blood from the cells into the lungs.You drown in your own blood.

French astronomer Adrien Auzout had once considered building a telescope that was 1,000 feet long in the 1600s. He thought the manification would be so great, he would see animals on the moon.

It is almost impossible to sink in the Dead Sea, but if one falls in face first, the density of the water will make it hard to turn over and get your face out, therefore, one can still drown in the Dead Sea.

It was discovered on a space mission that a frog can throw up. The frog throws up its stomach first, so the stomach is dangling out of its mouth. Then the frog uses its forearms to dig out all of the stomach’s contents and then swallows the stomach back down again.

A duck’s quack doesn’t echo, and no one knoes why. MYTH The quack does echo, but it is usually too quiet to hear. When you want to hear an echo, you ussually make a very loud noise to make sure the reflection can be heard. But a duck quacks too quietly, so the reflection is too quiet to hea

The moon is moving away at a tiny, although measurable distance from the earth every year. Do the math and you will clearly see that 85 million years ago it was orbiting the earth at a distance of about 35 feet from the earth’s surface. This would explain the death of the dinosours; the tallest ones, anyway.

A typical microwave oven consumes more electricity powering its digital clock than it does heating food. While heating food requires as much as 100 times the power as running the clock does, the microwave heats food less than 1% of the time while the clock is typically always running. Therefore, in total, the clock uses up more electricity.
