1.

Water can boil and freeze at the same time, it's called the 'triple point',
and it occurs when the temperature and pressure is just right for the three
phases (gas, liquid, and solid) of a substance to coexist in thermodynamic
equilibrium.
2. A single solar flare can release the equivalent energy of millions of 100-
megaton atomic bombs.
3. Cats always land on their feet, thanks to physics, cats actually use the two
halves of their bodies separately to ensure rapid rotation.
4. If you spin a ball as you drop it, it flies. Magnus effect, which occurs when
the air on the front side of a spinning object is going the same direction as its
spin, which means it gets dragged along with the object and deflected back.
Meanwhile, the air on the other side of the ball is moving in the opposite
direction, so the air flow separates.
5. Only one letter J doesn’t appear in the periodic table.
6. Bananas contain potassium, and since potassium decays, that makes them
slightly radioactive. But it’s nothing you need to worry about. You’d need to eat
10,000,000 bananas at once to die of radiation poisoning.
7. Hot water freezes faster than cold water: This fact seems counterintuitive,
but it’s called the Mpemba effect, after a Tanzanian student named Erasto
Mpemba who told his teacher that a hot mixture of ice cream froze faster than
a cold one. This is because the velocities of water particles have a specific
disposition while they’re hot that allows them to freeze more readily. If proven
correct, this finding could also have implications in daily life, like cooling down
electronic devices.

8. Cold water heats up faster than hot water

The researchers who investigated the cause of the Mpemba effect made this discovery as
well. They unsurprisingly named the phenomenon the inverse Mpemba effect.

9. We have a lot of DNA:

There are over 3 billion base pairs of DNA in human genes and over 25,000 genes in the
human genome. An entire copy of that genome exists in each of the 10 trillion cells in
the human body. If all of that DNA were lined up, it would cover the distance between
Earth and the sun 100 times.

10. Helium can work against gravity: When helium is cooled to extreme temperatures,

just a few degrees away from absolute zero (-460˚F or -273˚C), it turns into a superfluid,
meaning it can flow without friction. It can climb up and over the sides of a glass. It can
leak through molecule-thick cracks in a container. If it starts flowing like a fountain, it will
never stop.

11. Vantablack: is a material developed by Surrey NanoSystems in the United Kingdom

and is one of the darkest man-made substance known, absorbing up to 99.96% of
visible light. It's made of carbon nanotubes – rods of carbon that are much, much thinner
than any human hair – packed so close together in a maze-like matrix that light goes in,
but can't escape.

Never stop learning.
