Fun Fact of the day

 



Holding a sneeze can be dangerous.

In a 2017 article published in BMJ Case Reports researchers reported that a 34-year-old British man was hospitalized after attempting to contain his sneeze, trapping air in his trachea and essentially ripping a hole in the soft tissue of his throat. "Halting sneeze via blocking nostrils and mouth is a dangerous maneuver," the report says, noting that doing so "should be avoided, as it may lead to numerous complications."

Fun Fact of the day

 


Sharks "smell in stereo."

You're no doubt familiar with a shark's ability to detect even small amounts of blood in the water from as far as a quarter mile away. However, what you may not realize is that this is due to the animal's ability to "smell in stereo."

As reported by Nature in 2010: researchers found that sharks can detect tiny delays in the time it takes for a scent to reach one nostril compared to the other—even when it's just a fraction of a second. This delay allows them to determine from which side the scent came and in response, they can head that way in search of prey.

One area of Canada has a weaker gravitational pull than the rest of Earth.

A swath of land in northern Canada was found back in 2007 to have unusually low gravitational pulls. The reason for this, according to Science, is because nearly 20,000 years ago, the weight of massive ice glaciers "caused some of the rock beneath to compress and sink, and in the process displace the underlying semifluid mantle."

A reindeer's eyes can change colors with the seasons.

They may not actually fly, but there are some things that are magical about reindeer—specifically, their changing eye color. While their eyes are golden in the summer, they shift to dark blue in the winter to "increase the scatter of reflected light," and account for their seasonals vision sensitivity, according to ScienceNews. Amazing!

Fun Fact of the day

 


Surfaces near the equator move much faster than those in other locations on Earth.

Though the Earth as a whole moves in a circular orbit, not all of its surfaces rotate at the same speed. In fact, according to Scientific American, the surface of the Earth at the equator moves at 360 meters per second—or approximately 1,000 miles per hour—while the speed at the North Pole is effectively zero. (It only rotates once every 24 hours.)

Cows have best friends.

Cows may seem like simple creatures, but deep down they are surprisingly social and can experience a complex range of emotions and relationships, including friendship. "When heifers have their preferred partner with them, their stress levels in terms of their heart rates are reduced compared with if they were with a random individual," a researcher from the University of Northampton told the BBC.
