Students listen and professors lecture. In school classrooms, students are in the role of those who draw knowledge from older, more experienced and wiser professors, but if you want to surprise them with how wise you are, present them with one of these 6 facts that probably even they don't know
In the era internet everyone can find different facts about the world we live in, but we have prepared some facts for you, which are simply hard to believe.
1. If you split the Earth in half and fell through it, it would take about 38 minutes to get to the other side.
Physicists from McGill University in Montreal did the math, so that the journey from one end of the Earth to the other would take time 38 minutes and 11 seconds. The speed at which a person would fly would reach more than 5 kilometers per second.
2. When you are in an unfamiliar place, you tend to turn right rather than left.
Professor of psychology Stephen Bitgood claims, that right-wingers in an unknown space (without knowing which way they have to go) rather turn right. Consequently, they also use this principle trade chains, who place the products from left (cheapest) vs right (most expensive) to encourage the purchase of more expensive products.
3. Rats laugh when tickled.
Scientists have found out, to be rats just like people laugh when they are tickled. However, this only happens when they are in a good mood, because feeling unwell or frightened they contribute to the fact that it is reaction to tickling noticeably weaker.
4. The fur of polar bears is not white.
The fur of the polar bear has no pigment, rather, it is transparent. Their skin is black - but it helps them to be faster heating, as black absorbs better sunlight and speeds up the drying process of fur after swimming.
5. Alice in Wonderland is not only a book, but also a rare disease.
Alice in Wonderland syndrome is also called Lilliputian gaze. It is rare neurological disorder, which is characteristically distorted perception of the world: it can be felt large objects appear extremely small, while sees small objects as if they were very large.
6. Fungi are more similar in structure to animals than to plants.
We probably all remember from school that they are fungi are a separate kingdom in the plant world, which were classified as plants in the past, but they are studies showed that the cellular structure of fungi is more similar to the animal kingdom.
