From the moment when the engines and the srb booster pack of the space shuttle start... until the moment it has lifted 1m...26.000kg of solid state oxygen are consumed by the engines

There is a deep sea slug with arrow like spikes in their mouth... the toxic on these arrows kills you 12x faster than your nerve endings can react... jurassic Park 2 has a reference, that toxins filled in a syringe bullet in a rifle, "if you shoot yourself accidentally in the foot, you are dead before you heard the rifle go off"

The electric starter in your gas stove is actual based on a piezo crystal... if you lay a thin metal sheet on the crystal and hit it with some force, enough ampere to kill a baby comes out of the crystal... newer ones have batteries instead of that piezo crystal

But compared to the known size of the universe, it's ridiculously slow

I just love your questions.

Well, as we know extremely high probabilities are truths. ok? scientists forbid to think that way. we do.

Anything 99.9% likely, the opposite has almost 0 chance...

And this applies to inhabitants of the galaxies, it sounds crazy but almost solid there are life forms out there, they might be just like us with the same path of carbon based life evolution.

Take this one, the odds that this world is real and not a simulation or a dreamworld or computer game... is almost none.

Juan_Sheet · Answer

Strictily speaking the sound is not light. Nor is it magnetism or electromagnetic waves.

You are hearing vibrations in the air due to a diphragm moving (speaker) in the radio.

Now that isn't to say that the sound was not light or electromagnetic radiation because it was from the Transmitter tower to the receiver Radio. The sound is turned into different electromagnetic frequencies usually in the MHz (Megahertz range) using either Frequency modulation or Amplitude modulation.

To be visible light, the electromahpgnetic radiation would have to be in the frequency range of around 430 - 790 TeraHertz, which is considerably higher than the frequencies that radio is transmitted at.

However light is indeed electromagnetic radiation, so radio waves and light are based on the same scientific principles.

Another one I actually heard from one of the people that worked the crime. Is the movie Candyman. This movie is based on fact!

In 1987 the Chicago Reader published a story about Ruth McCoy, a woman living in a Chicago housing project, who made a frantic call to 911 insisting she was being attacked in her apartment. Responders eventually found her dead of gunshot wounds. Investigators determined that her assailants had gained access to her unit by breaking through the connecting wall in the adjoining apartment and climbing in through her medicine cabinet. The complex was built that way intentionally so that plumbers investigating leaks could simply remove the cabinet to check the pipes. It became a frequent mode of entry for burglars—and in McCoy’s case, her killers.

Every single planet in the solar system can fit between the distance of the Earth and the Moon, with extra space to spare. I used to think the fact it took Buzz Aldrin three days to get to the moon had to be false. I was wrong.

What is VERY false is when they say that men and women can't be friends. I have had a group on friends of men AND women for over a decade. And we are all friends with one another. So men and women CAN be friends 💯%
