What are some of the unknown facts that are true?

 Here are 10 less commonly known true facts :

1. It is possible to die from drinking too much water. Water intoxication and hyponatremia result when a dehydrated person drinks too much water without the accompanying electrolytes.

2. Bananas are slightly radioactive. Bananas contain high levels of potassium. It’s not something you need to worry about, since 0.01% of the potassium already in your body is the same radioactive type ( K - 40 ). Potassium is essential for proper nutrition.

3. About 3,00,000 children have arthritis. When most people think of arthritis they don’t associate it with children. The most popular misconception about arthritis is that it is an old person’s disease. In reality, arthritis affects people of all ages including about 3,00,000 American children. Fortunately, children tend to have a more favourable prognosis than older adults.

4. Hydrofluoric acid is so corrosive. It can dissolve glass. Even though it is highly corrosive, Hydrofluoric acid is not considered to be a strong acid because it does not completely dissociate in water.

5. Liquid oxygen is blue in colour. Oxygen gas is colourless, odourless and tasteless. However, the liquid and solid forms are a pale blue colour.

6. Fish scales are a common lipstick ingredient. Some lipstick contains lead acetate or sugar of lead. This toxic lead compound makes the lipstick taste sweet.

7. Fire typically spreads uphill more quickly than downhill. This is because temperature affects the rate of combustion. The region above a fire tends to be much hotter than the area below it, plus it may have a better supply of fresh air.

8. Water displays weird quantum effects. Ordinary water consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, but a 1995 neutron scattering experiment saw 1.5 hydrogen atoms per oxygen atom. While a variable ratio is not unheard of in chemistry, this type of quantum effect in water was unexpected.

9. Water has a glassy state. Do you think water can only be found as a liquid, solid or gas. There’s a glassy phase, intermediate between the liquid and solid forms. If you supercool water, but don’t disturb it to make it form ice, and bring the temperature down to -120 degree Celsius, the water becomes an extremely viscous liquid. If you cool it all the way down to -135 degree Celsius, you get “glassy water”, which is solid, yet not crystalline.

10. The Olympic flag’s colours are always red, black, blue, green and yellow rings on a field of white. This is because at least one of those colours appears on the flag of every nation on the planet.

Lives in India (2020–present)Updated 8y

01. Hairy Ball Theorem: The hairy ball theorem of algebraic topology states that there is no non-vanishing continuous tangent vector field on even-dimensional n-spheres.

In simple terms, it’s impossible to comb all the hairs on a tennis ball in the same direction without creating a cowlick.

02. There are exactly 10!(factorial) seconds in six weeks.

Let’s figure this one out. So, 6 weeks is 1 second x 60 x 60 x 24 x 7 x 6. Straight away there we have our 1, 7 and 6 – now we just need the rest

60 = 2 x 3 x 10 
60 = 5 x 4 x 3 
24 = 8 x 3 

We have 2 extra 3s here, so take two of them: 3×3 =9. Now we have 1x2x3x4x5x6x7x8x9x10 and that's 6 weeks

03. This is more of a statistics fact, but if there is a 1 in x chance of something happening, in x attempts, for large numbers over 50 or so, the likelihood of it happening is about 63%

1-(1-1/x)^x 

For example, if there's a 1 in 10,000 chance of getting hit by a meteor if you go outside, if you go outside 10,000 times, you have a 63% chance of getting hit with a meteor at some point. If there's a 1 in a million chance of winning the lottery and you buy a million (random) lottery tickets, you have a 63% chance of winning.

04. If you divide any number by 7, and the answer isn't an integer, you end up with the sequence 142857 recurring.

1/7 = .142857142857 
 
3/7 = .428571428571 
 
2/7 = .285714285714 
 
6/7 = .857142857142 
 
4/7 = .571428571428 
 
5/7 = .714285714285 

05.There are 52! (factorial) ways to shuffle a deck of cards or

80658175170943878571660636856403766975289505440883277824000000000000 ways.

How big is that number?

Start by picking your favorite spot on the equator. You shuffle the deck of cards once every second. You're going to walk around the world along the equator, but take a very leisurely pace of one step every billion years. After you complete your round the world trip, remove one drop of water from the Pacific Ocean.

Now do the same thing again: walk around the world at one billion years per step, removing one drop of water from the Pacific Ocean each time you circle the globe. Continue until the ocean is empty. When it is, take one sheet of paper and place it flat on the ground. Now, fill the ocean back up and start the entire process all over again, adding a sheet of paper to the stack each time you’ve emptied the ocean.

Do this until the stack of paper reaches from Earth to the Sun. Take a glance at the timer, you will see that the three left-most digits haven’t even changed. You still have 8.063e67 more seconds to go. 1 Astronomical Unit, the distance from the Earth to the Sun, is defined as 149,597,870.691 kilometers. So, take the stack of papers down and do it all over again. One thousand times more. Unfortunately, that still won’t do it. There are still more than 5.385e67 seconds remaining. You’re just about a third of the way done.

06.The Monty Hall problem. You're on a gameshow. There is one grand prize that you can win but it's hidden behind one of three closed doors. The other two doors have nothing. You are asked to select one of the three closed doors. Once you choose a door the host opens one of the remaining two doors that does not contain the fabulous prize. The host then asks if you'd like to switch your choice to the one other unopened door. Do you switch?

Statistically, you should because there is a 66.6% chance the other door is correct and only a 33.3% chance your door is correct. Most people will argue, vehemently, that there is a 50/50 chance of having the correct choice so switching is irrelevant. But you actually had a 66.6% chance to choose the wrong door, to begin with.
