Unveiling 10 Incredible Facts That Will Surprise You!

  1. The Universe’s colour is beige.
  • If we attempt to visualize the universe, the colour that most frequently comes to mind is dark blue. Science, however, informs us that this is not possible at all. It turns out, surprisingly, that the average colour of the universe is beige, which is the resultant mixture of the lights emitted by 200,000 galaxies. "Cosmic latte" was the definition given to this hue.
  1. Our heartbeat syncs to the music we’re listening to.
  • Music can lift our spirits and change our moods, as we have all experienced, but its power doesn't end there. A study found that a well-written song can speak to one's heart. It was discovered that the heartbeat and the musical beat synchronize. Investigations have shown that crescendo-heavy selections raised heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing. Conversely, during silent and decrescendo intervals, these measurements decreased.
  1. Phones are dirtier than toilets.
  • Although we may view smartphones as an essential component of our everyday lives, this practical tool may be concealing a less-than-ideal surprise. Mobile phones used by secondary school students were found to be heavily contaminated with potentially harmful bacteria. Scientists have found that cell phones contain ten times more bacteria than the majority of toilet seats.
  1. The storage capacity of the human brain is 2.5 million gigabytes.
  • With a massive network of over a trillion connections formed by hundreds of millions of neurons, this amazing organ undoubtedly possesses extremely powerful abilities. A study found that the brain's memory is equivalent to 2.5 million gigabytes, or three million hours of television.
  1. Men have longer tongues than women.
  • It is inaccurate to say that women talk more than men, according to scientific research. Men are undoubtedly ahead when it comes to tongue length, though. According to a University of Edinburgh study, an adult's tongue length averages 7.9 cm for women and 8.5 centimetres for men. Science is still trying to figure out if it has anything to do with who talks more.
  1. The Eiffel Tower can grow more than 6 inches during the summer.
  • The height of one of Europe's most well-known landmarks varies with the season. The height of the Eiffel Tower increases by up to 15 cm during the summer months when temperatures rise above 40°C. This is because heat causes the metal to expand, increasing the tower's height. In the summer, the heat can also cause the tower's top to tilt up to 17 cm.
  1. Men who have daughters live longer.
  • While it's difficult to determine whether fathers of daughters are generally happier than those of sons, one study found that fathers who have daughters tend to live longer. Scientists discovered that a father's life expectancy was positively impacted by the number of daughters he had. With each daughter born, their longevity rose by an average of 74 weeks. Conversely, there was no discernible effect of the number of male progenies on their longevity.
  1. Bats give birth upside down.
  • Bats are often admired for their extraordinary capacity to perform nearly all tasks while suspended upside down. They slumber, hibernate, and even hang on after they pass away. Furthermore, female bats give birth in this posture that defies gravity. The mother bat swiftly snatches up her newborn and holds it in her wings.
  1. In the 15th century pregnancy was very trendy.
  • Similar to today, pregnancy was highly fashionable in the fifteenth century, to the point where non-pregnant women would occasionally wear stuffed pads under their clothing to mimic a baby bump. Furthermore, this occurred long before maternity clothing was created.

 

  1. Humans, animals, and plants all evolved from the same micro ancestor.
  • Science says that all life on Earth, including humans, descended from a single ancestor. This would be the 3.8-billion-year-old creature known as LUCA (last universal common ancestor), the ancestor of all living things on Earth. Ultimately, all of us are composed of cells that share characteristics such as ribosomes and a genetic code that is thought to have originated from this one single organism.
