A great site for interesting facts

 

Remember... not interesting facts but rather unbeleivable or incredible facts

 

How about this one: random particle motion theory can predict that, due to the random motion of oxygen in air, that every now and then all the oxygen in an average sized room (12 x 14 x 8 ft) will suddenly concentrate in one corner, and therefore if the room had any occupants at the time they would be gasping for breath if not die from suffrocation. Before you get jumpy over a little breeze, though, there is a catch: the theory predicts this will happen once every 1 x 10 to the 240 years which, considering the universe will have undergone the Big Chill (all electrons will have lost their rotational energy and have fallen into their nucleus and created a universe of only neutrons) no later than 1 x 10 to the 130 years, then it's not too likely to happen in our lifetimes.

 

Believe this:

Yesterday scientists in Canada revealed that beer contains small traces of female hormones. To prove their theory they fed 100 men 12 pints of beer, and observed that 100% of them started talking nonsense and couldn't drive.

I'm liking this recent bact of facts

 

I agree! Very brainiacky!

 

And BSy

 

yeah

I would have responded sooner but this flood control is KILLING me!!!!
I guess it's time to go home... have a good evening.

 

Gee, guys, I'm detecting a bit of sarcasm here about my random particle post. The Big Chill end of the universe scenario seems pretty much accepted, give or take a few years. And random motion of particles is pretty much undebatable, and random motion theory is pretty good at predicting future positions of particles/molecules/atom moving in a random manner. I didn't make any of this up. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the book that layed the science behind all this out but it was a collection of 'incredible facts' about physics.
