Could zombies exist according to science?

 If we are taking about a traditional zombie, the way they are often portrayed in movies (corpse raised by virus) then it's not possible.

An “engineered” zombie (corpse raised by some sort of nano machines) is theoretically possible.

A zombie like from the last of us (living person who’s behavior is changed) is possible.

A parasitic fungus that infects a unspected hosts and controls them with the goal of spreading more spores and infecting more hosts.

It already exists in nature. Cordyceps a fungus that infects ants and once an ant is infected, it loses control over it's body and force it to reach anything tall and burst open releasing the spore and infecting more ants. The fungus is literally called the “Zombie Fungus.”

There is also a parasite called Toxoplasma gondii that infects rats. Once a rat is infected it loses fear of cats, why cats? Because the only host where the parasite can reproduce is a cat.

Then the infected rat wonder around cats without any fear and gets eaten up and the parasite reproduces and continues the cycle.

• Contrary to the popular belief maximum oxygen on Earth comes from the oceans. (Atleast half of it)
• Marine organisms such as plankton, seaweeds and other photosynthesizer are direct contributor to the fresh air.

• There are more trees on Earth than stars in our galaxy.
• There could be about 100 billion to 400 billion stars in the Milky Way. Whereas according to 2015 journal Nature the number of trees around the world is about3.04 trillion.

• The Moon is lemon-shaped.
• Our natural satellite isn't actually spherical, as it seems to be, but, instead has flattened poles and bulges around the Equator, which makes is overall actual shape, lemo like.

• Mercury is still shrinking.
• In 2016, data from Mercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry and Ranging (MESSENGER) aircraft revealed cliff-like landforms known as fault scarps. Because of their relatively small size, scientists are sure that they are newly formed (comparatively) and that the planet is still contracting.

• Babies are born with as much as 300 bones.
• As we grow old and taller many of our bones fuse together making the over-all count to be 206.

• The Apollo astronauts' footprints on the moon will probably stay there for at least 100 million years.
• Thanks to the absence of atmosphere on moon, there's practically no wind or water to wash these foot prints off.

What are some of the unbelievable facts in science?

 let’s list down some facts:

1. Earth revolves around Sun.
2. Moon revolves around Earth.
3. If all three align in a straight line, then (guess what?) eclipse happens. (If Moon is in the middle, then, Solar eclipse and If Earth is in the middle, then, Lunar eclipse.)

“Oh, Come on Buddy, we all know these, please don’t repeat basics”

Okay, alright but I’m gonna repeat them again but with extra details.

• Earth is tilted 23.5 degrees around its rotation axis, and it revolves around Sun; That is why, we have seasons.

• So, as an observer on Earth, we see Sun does not rise in the exact East ALWAYS.

• Moon revolves around Earth.
• Based on the above observations, imagine a trajectory of Sun and Moon around Earth. Both the trajectories are not Co-planar.

Now, observe closely, there are two points (nodes) of intersection of the trajectories in the Earth’s sky map. Eclipses happen only when both Sun and Moon enter those two particular nodes at the same time.

If both Sun and Moon are in same node, then Solar eclipse and if Sun in one node and Moon in other node then Lunar Eclipse. Since, Sun’s and Moon’s trajectories around Earth are not co-planar and have an angle of 5 degrees (as can see in the above picture), Eclipses don’t happen on every full moon day and new moon day.

Now, do you know what those 2 particular nodes are called generally (In India)?

HINT:

Did the picture ring the bell?

Okay, let me tell you. That is the picture of Rahu and Ketu. They both swallow Sun and Moon occasionally causing Eclipses.

Rahu being North Lunar Node and Ketu being South Lunar Node.

Before we getting the knowledge of Earth’s 23.5-degree tilt on its rotation axis, our ancestors knew it all and gave them fancy names as well.

Bonus: Have you observed that Sun rises in the exact east in the month of March and according to Hindu calendar, new year is celebrated in the same month known as Ugadi (in Karnataka). In other states, this festival may be known with other names. Uga + Adi which means start of the year.

• A human body has enough DNA to extend from our sun to Pluto and back.

• Your brain is more powerful, more complex and more clever than any computer ever built.
• Helium Works Against Gravity, Helium doesn’t get affected by gravity.
• Animals Use Earth’s Magnetic Field to Know their Location.
• Hot water freezes faster than cold water.
• Nothing in the universe can go faster than the speed of light.
• The speed of light traveling through a vacuum is exactly 299,792,458 meters per second (186,000 miles per second)
• The letter "J" is the only one not found on the periodic table.

 Trees go to sleep too

Other plants open up and close from day to night, and trees do something similar. Scientists measured that trees shrink by 10cm at night and regain it's height after sunrise.

Time Crystals

Something that sounds like it came straight out of Rick and Morty is apparently real. Regular crystals are repeated patterns of atoms or molecules-in space. A time crystal has a pattern like a regular one, but it flips to another one, then flips again, forever.

Genghis Khan Had a Few Children

It's well known that the Asian ruler had a large harem and that he slept with thousands of women. He had so many children that today, 8% of Asian men are direct descendants of him. That's 16 million people!

The Earth Used To Be Purple

Yep. Chlorophyll, the stuff you'll find on plants, reflects green, resulting in green plants. Earlier in Earth's history though, microbes in plants used retinal instead, which reflects red and blue, causing a purple hue.

Toasting Using Lightning

Yeah, lightning. That thing that strikes in thunderstorms. If we could harness the energy from it, a single bolt of lightning could cook 100,000 pieces of toast.

Strongest Organism Ever?

What is the strongest living thing in existence? The Rock, Shaq, Thanos? Wrong. Gonorrhea bacteria is. They can pull 100,000 times their body weight, which is equal to 22 million pounds for humans. They do that by using a substance called pili to attach to other things.

We Are All Snakes

Okay not really, but the average human does shed 40lbs of skin in their lifetime.

Antimatter Is Dangerous And Expensive

Antimatter is (obviously) the opposite of regular matter. Instead of protons, neutrons, and electrons, there are antiprotons antineutrons and antielectrons (also known as positrons). When matter and antimatter come together, you get an explosion. If a 1kg piece of antimatter crashed into Earth, the energy released would be enough to melt 220,000,000,000 pounds of granite. Don't worry, we could never afford that much antimatter, since it cost $62.5 trillion to make a gram of it.

 We could get 25th hour in a day in 140+ million years. this is due to the fact because earth is slowing down by 0.02 millisecond daily

• China built a dam which affected the rotation of Earth!

Its reservoir has a stunning capacity of 39 trillion kilograms of water, which it lifts through a height of 175 meters. This affects the moment of inertia of our planet and slows down the rotation of Earth (hell yes).
This has led to increase of 0.06 microseconds (not noticeable, of course) in a day's duration! The Earth has become flatter (only slightly) at the poles and rounder in the middle.

• We do not revolve around the sun

Well, Technically we do not revolve around the sun but around the center of mass of the solar system

The center of mass of our solar system very close to the Sun itself, but not exactly at the Sun's center.
