20 Unbelievable Science Stuff That Will Blow Your Mind!

1. Research has shown that wearing an earphone for an hour can cause the normal bacteria found in the ear canal to increase by almost 700 times. Use over-the-ear headphones instead of in-ear or earbud-style models. 
2. a modest-size cloud, can weigh as much as a jumbo jet.
3. It would take 19 minutes to fall from the North Pole to Earth’s core.
4. Did you know half of the world’s oxygen is produced by plankton, seaweed, and other ocean-based photosynthesis. 
5. The human stomach can dissolve razor blades.
6. Animals use the magnetic field to know where they are.
7. The letter J doesn’t exist in the periodic table.
8. Water can boil and freeze at the same time, it occurs when temperature and pressure is just right for three phases (gas, liquid and solid).
9. Two Spacecraft are now hurtling towards the edge of our solar system. The New Horizons space probe (which already flew past Pluto). The SR-71 Blackbird.
10. If you spin a ball as you drop it, it will fly, it’s called the Magnus effect. The Magnus effect is why soccer players can bend a soccer ball into the goal around a 5-person wall and why baseball pitchers can throw a breaking ball pitch.
11. It’s impossible to burp in space, In the absence of gravity, the gas can't be separated from the liquids and solids, and it becomes impossible to burp without also throwing up.
12. Babies have more bones than adults. Babies have around 300 bones at birth. With age, many of the bones fuse. Most adults have 206 bones in their skeleton.
13. The Eiffel Tower can be 15 cm taller during the summer. Conversely, when cold winter weather arrives, the metal structure contracts and it can lose a few centimetres as well!
14. Hawaii is moving closer to Alaska every year The Pacific Plate is drifting slowly north towards the North American Plate. Meaning it is around 7.5cm closer every year.
15. Life cannot exist on Earth in 2.3 billion. Temperatures will be high enough to evaporate the oceans, and Earth will become a vast desert, like Mars today.
16. It takes eight minutes for light to travel from the Sun to Earth.
17. Infrared cameras don’t really work on polar bears. They have multiple levels to keep them cosy on the chilliest arctic day.
18. The Earth is a magnet. Although it's very weak. A good fridge magnet is over 200 times stronger.
19. Venus spins clockwise. Most planets spin anti-clockwise if viewed from above, including the Earth. However, there are two exceptions: Uranus spins on its side, and Venus’ spin is clockwise. 
20. A flea can accelerate faster than a space shuttle. A jumping flea reaches heights of about 8cm in a milli-second.
