What is a scientific fact that you find amazing?

Question

Hihi all! Just a qwik , fun, educational question to please all my adoring fans and feed my attention-seeking narcissism before I set off on a weekend of drunken debauchery, revelry, probable poor life choices and other dysfunctionally fun stuff! 🥳

A scientific fact that I find absolutely amazing is that Cheetos are flammable! Like, just, wow! 🤩 Maybe we could use them as a new source of fuel and energy or something! And if not, setting a Cheeto on fire is at least a fun way to entertain your friends and make poor life choices at drunken, dysfunctional parties! Yay! 🥳 And here's a link to 11 other fascinating facts that you prolly didn't know about Cheetos! Isn't science just amazing? Link to Cheetos Facts HERE. (<--- Link to Cheetos Facts There)

So, anyways, today I ask, What is a scientific fact that you find amazing?

Actual image of amazing science at work to better our lives!

The Cheeto is the American version of the Aussie Chezel I think. Just not as good is all.

I am impressed with all these Cheeto facts; especially that you can make campfire out of them.

But what I want to know is 'Are American cats born addicted to Cheetos?' like Aussie cats are born addicted to Chezels.

Sadly my tabby has made it impossible for me to enjoy Chezels. If he hears a Chezel packet open, he stops napping and runs down the stairs. He won't let up trying to get at them. I would give him some because I love him but he wants all of them. His technique is prowl around and stick his head into the Chezel every chance he gets and tries to scoff the lot.

I have to hold the bag above my head to stop him from sticking his head in. Even then he will try to climb up my arm.

So are US cats really really keen on Cheeto's. Or does Chezels have the magic cat recipe alone?

Story time!

Around 2014-2015, in India. We also have a chips brand which is similar to cheetos, it's called 'Kurkure'. Some millennial saw that kurkure burns and declared that Kurkure has plastic and should not be consumed. This rumour went on till like 2019 when people finally forgot about it and started consuming kurkure again because they missed its taste. So kids, cheetos and kurkure burns because of the dehydrated starch complex which makes allows it to hold fire, not because it has plastic 🤓

I just drank yesterday two absinthe drinks that lighted blue like Cherenkov radiation while glass illuminated green in UV light. Maybe I should check my belly with Geiger counter?

My answer plagiarizes Gemini AI, which in turn plagiarized a Quora user:

"Traveling to other star systems is currently impossible due to the immense distances (the nearest star is 4.25 light-years away), requiring thousands of years with current technology. Other barriers include the need for immense energy, insufficient propulsion speeds, severe cosmic radiation dangers to human health, and massive challenges in building self-sufficient, long-term spacecraft.

Suck on that, George Lucas.

My friends and I used to pour a bit of rubbing alcohol in to one of those 5 gallon Pyrex water bottles that they used in drinking water dispensers.

Then we would drop in a match.

The alcohol fumes would ignite and a flat disc of blue flame with orange sparkles would start at the top and slowly move down the inside of the bottle while making a soft, steady howling sound.
When it got to the bottom, it would go puff, puff, puff with blue and orange explosions in the center of the bottle before going out.

We would do it in a dark room and we called it The Blue Flame. It was particularly good if you were high.

An actual science that fascinates me is geology. The age and evolution of the Earth, continental drift, the formation of mountains, volcanoes, ice ages, erosion and the formation of lakes and canyons. Also how rocks and gems are formed.
It cracks me up that people think God formed all that stuff in 7 days.

Shadows move faster than the speed of light.

Imagine a bird flying high on a sunny day. It casts a shadow on the ground which moves at the same speed as the bird.

If the bird flys over a building that shadow will now be on top of that building. That means the shadow has to shoot up the wall faster than the speed of light otherwise it will be in the wrong position at the top.

Think about it the birds speed is constant in the horizontal plane, yet that shadow has had to climb a huge vertical surface while moving zero on the horizontal, yet it's still in the right place at the top, no lag. In fact since the ground is never even, covered with hills, buildings, trees and so on, a birds shadow is constantly having to break the speed of light to stay in the right position.

I can light candles without having the flame touching the wick.
A new drug that can let the deaf hear!! A few hours ago, I saw a video of a woman with her 2 year old boy who was born deaf and she found out about a pill that will allow him to hear! Now, he loves music and hearing people talking! He never even knew his own name until very recently!
A new drug that the Japanese are testing on animals. It re-grows missing or damaged teeth!! What it actually does is repress your bodies own inability to grow more than two sets of teeth so, if you've got missing or damaged choppers, within 4 years, you can get this new shot and they'll start growing back in!!
That there are nearly 400 known natural cures for cancer but we're not allowed to know about them because Drs. get filthy rich making you sick or even killing you by giving you chemo and radiation!!

@randomgirl42  LOL, it's dry organic material encapsulating pockets of oxygen. Of course it's gonna burn well.  Did you know a 5lb bag of Pillsbury flour can make a potent fuel/air bomb in a confined space in a pinch. Not one to try at a party unless you're trying to clear out the stragglers at the end of the night. But pretty much the same deal as a Cheeto. Organic material + oxygen and a flame.

Time.

Time is so disruptive to me, the fact that time is locally relative. A clock on the surface of the Earth ticks slightly slower than one in orbit... Breaks my head when I try to think of consequences for the universe lol
