What are some interesting & amazing facts that most people don't know?

 Do you know , there are 5 Places Where Gravity Does Not Seem to Exist.. Interesting right.. After I came to know, this is definitely in my bucket list among the list of places I want to visit in my life time.

1) The Mystery Spot
The Mystery Spot is a gravitational anomaly located in the redwood forest just outside of Santa Cruz California. The unexplained phenomena occur in a circular area that is 150 feet in diameter. Now, within the mystery spot, the perception of the laws of physics and gravity are kind of question. The mystery spot was discovered in 1939 by a group of surveyors, who opened the area up to the public in 1940.

2) Spook Hill, in Lake Wales
Now, gravity hills where cars appear to defy the laws of gravity exists all across the globe. Spook Hill is somewhat unique in that it’s officially recognized by the town. There’s a large sign on Wales Drive explaining the legend of Spook Hill and how to experience the effect. Now legend has many years ago, in an Indian village in Lake Wales was plate by a massive Gator. The chief a great warrior killed the gator in a battle that created a small lake. Pioneer male writers first discovered their horses laboring downhill. When the road was paid cars actually coasted uphill and locals believe this is caused by the spirits of the Gator or the chief or both.

3) St. Ignace Mystery Spot
In the early 1950’s three surveyors, named Clarence, Fred and Mcrae came from California to explore the Upper Peninsula. They stumbled across an area of land where their surveying equipment stopped a working properly. As they continue their research of this land, they noticed a constant feeling of being light hit. Later realizing their queasiness and problems with surveying equipment only occurred in an area about 300 feet in diameter, they felt they had discovered a mystery spot. Within its boundaries, a tall person seems smaller by comparison. You could sit on a chair with its back legs a balanced on a beam and front legs suspended in the air

4) House of Mystery at Gold Hill
The House of Mystery where the Oregon Vortex is a gold office built in the area in 1904. It's lit from his foundation in the early teens coming to rest at an odd angle. The Oregon Vortex is famous for height changes, as the relative height of the two people changes on where they stand. People have claimed that when bringing horses or other animals to the vortex they would reverse an attempt to get away. The Oregon Vortex explains that not many animals live in this area due to this strange phenomenon. What’s also creepy is that the Native Americans call the area the forbidden ground.

5) Cosmos Mystery Area Rapid City
The Cosmos of the Black Hills was discovered in 1952 by two college guys, looking for a place to build a summer cabin. When they enter this area, they experience a slight imbalance which increased considerably on entering the old house. The guys were intrigued and camp on site while they investigated these odd phenomena which later became the Cosmos Mystery Area. In this Mystery Area, besides the typical water rolling uphill, tennis balls when throw will change his trajectory in mid-air.

What are some amazing facts about the Indian Railways?

 Indian Railways, the world’s fourth largest in terms of network, is a lifeline for the 13 million people who use it every day.

Mammoth service

It runs 11,000 trains every day on tracks that spread over 60,000 km in length.

Big boss

It employs close to 1.54 million people, making it the seventh-largest employer in the world, according to Forbes.

Long haul, short haul

A trip on the Vivek Express is like an odyssey. India’s longest-route train runs between Dibrugarh and Kanyakumari, a distance of 4,286 km with 56 stops and a running time of 82.30 hours. A train between Nagpur and Ajni runs for just 3 km.

Non-stop, full stop

The Trivandrum-Nizamuddin Rajdhani Express covers the 528-km distance between Vadodara and Kota in 6.5 hours without any stops. It is the longest ‘non-stop train’ in India. The Howrah-Amritsar Express has the most number of stops--115.

Hare & tortoise

The Gatiman Express has become the fastest train in India with top speed of 160km/h, running between New Delhi and Agra. The Nilgiri Express with an average speed of 10 kmph is India’s slowest train.

Least punctual train

The Guwahati-Trivandrum Express is usually delayed by 10-12 hours per trip on its scheduled journey time of 65 hours and 5 minutes.

Spell that

Venkatanarasimharajuvaripeta on the Arakkonam-Renigunta section near Chennai, is the station with the longest name. Ib, near Jharsuguda in Odisha have the shortest names.

One station, two states

The Navapur railway station straddles 2 states: one half of it is in Maharashtra and the other half in Gujarat.

Two stations, one place

Srirampur and Belapur are two different stations in Maharashtra’s Ahmednagar district, but on opposite sides of the same track.

Disaster

On June 6, 1981, a passenger train plunged into the Bagmati River in Bihar, killing around 800 people. The accident is among the deadliest-ever rail accidents in India.

What are some amazing facts about the Indian Railways?

 If I'll tell you that Railway books a seat every year for a person who has left this world several years ago, you will definitely think that I am kidding, but wait..... This is fact.

New Jalpaiguri(Popularly known as NJP which is its station code) of Northeast frontier Railway every year witness a booking in the name of a person who sacrificed his life in supreme service to the nation.

Yes...... You guessed it correct (if you have ever been to Sikkim or particularly Nathu la ) I am talking about Baba Harbhajan Singh, Every year on 11 September, a jeep departs with his personal belongings to the nearest railway station, New Jalpaiguri, from where it is then sent by train to the village of Kuka, in the Kapurthala district of the Indian state of Punjab. While empty berths on any train of the Indian Railways are invariably allocated to any waitlisted passenger or on a first-come-first-served basis by the coach attendants, a special reservation for the Baba is made. Every year a seat is left empty for the journey to his hometown and soldiers chaperone the Baba to his home.

Isn't it surprising?

Hold on some more surprising things are there: -

At the age of 22 when youths are busy about their romantic life and family, He was defending Indian boundaries at inhospitable high altitude terrain of Eastern Himalaya, and gave supreme sacrifice to the nation.

He is revered as the "Hero of Nathula" by soldiers of the Indian army, who built a shrine in his honour. He was accorded the status of saint by believers who refer to him as the "Baba" (saintly father).

Some Indian soldiers believe that in the event of a war between India and China, Baba would warn the Indian soldiers of an impending attack at least three days in advance.

Interestingly Chineese troops also believes about the spirit of "BABA" and During flag meetings between the two nations at Nathu La, the Chinese set a chair aside to honor him.

He was posthumously awarded the Maha Vir Chakra medal for his bravery and martyrdom on 26 January 1969. (The Maha Vir Chakra is the second highest military decoration in India, after the Param Vir Chakra, and is awarded for acts of blazing gallantry in the presence of the enemy, whether on land, at sea or in the air)

What are some of the most amazing facts about space?

 These are some mind blowing facts about space,

  • The Sun makes up 99.8% of the entire mass of the whole Solar System. One million Earths would be needed to be the same size as the Sun.
  • Space is not that far away, Space officially begins at the universal marker of the Karman Line. This invisible boundary is 100km above the Earth.
  • When the moon is closer to the horizon, it is closer to objects like buildings and trees which therefore in comparison makes the moon look bigger.
  • In a vacuum like space, when two pieces of metal touch each other they bond together. This is a process called cold welding.
  • If a star passes too close to a black hole, it can be torn apart.
  • For years it was believed that Earth was the only planet in our solar system with liquid water. More recently, NASA revealed its strongest evidence yet that there is intermittent running water on Mars, too!
  • You wouldn’t be able to walk on Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus or Neptune because they have no solid surface!
  • If you could fly a plane to Pluto, the trip would take more than 800 years!
  • There are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on all the beaches on Earth. That’s at least a billion trillion!
  • We aren’t sure if wormholes exist.

Now these are some awesome facts about Black holes,

1. Black holes are only dangerous if you get too close.

Some think that black holes are like cosmic vacuums that suck in the space around them when, in fact, black holes are like any other object in space, albeit with a very strong gravitational field.

If you replaced the Sun with a black hole of equal mass, Earth would not get sucked in – it would continue orbiting the black hole as it orbits the Sun, today.

Black holes look like they're sucking in matter from all around, but that's a common misconception. Companion stars shed some of their mass in the form of stellar wind, and the material in that wind then falls into the grip of its hungry neighbour, a black hole.

2. Weird time stuff happens around black holes.

This is best illustrated by one person (call them Unlucky) falling into a black hole while another person (call them Lucky) watches. From Lucky’s perspective, Unlucky’s time clock appears to be ticking slower and slower. This is in accordance with Einstein’s theory of general relativity, which (simply put) says that time is affected by how fast you go, when you’re at extreme speeds close to light. The black hole warps time and space so much that Unlucky’s time appears to be running slower. From Unlucky’s perspective, however, their clock is running normally and Lucky’s is running fast.

3. You can't directly see a Black hole.

Because a black hole is indeed “black” and no light can escape from it. so, it’s impossible for us to sense the hole directly through our instruments, no matter what kind of electromagnetic radiation you use, light, X-rays, whatever.

4. Objects Appear To “Freeze” Near A Black Hole.

As you reach the event horizon, you are moving at such high speeds due to the strong gravitational force from the black hole, that time will slow down.

To an outside observer with a telescope, an object passing the event horizon will appear to slow down then “freeze” in time without ever seeming to pass through the event horizon.

5. A Person Falling Into A Black Hole Would Be Spagettified.

If a person was able to survive long enough to falling into a black hole, he would at first experience weightless as he goes into free fall, but then feel intense “tidal” gravitational forces as he got closer to the center of the black hole. In other words, if his feet were closer to the centre than his head, then they would feel a stronger pull until he eventually is stretched and then ripped apart. As he falls in he may observe distorted images as the light bends around him and he will also still be able to see beyond the black hole as light continues to reach him from the outside.
