Actually, the speed of light in an ideal vacuum is exactly, precisely equal to 1.

Re: Quirky Science Facts!

Through embriology, it became clear that our lungs developed from aquatic air-bladders! Human foetuses first develop the circulatory equipment for gills (actually having the proper gill-slits as well) before the air bladder develop to assume the breathing role.

In other words, aquatic animals first had to learn how to swim upright and control their buoyancy before land animals could breath!

Fishy...

Re: Quirky Science Facts!

1 Rad (rd - Radiation Dose) = 0.01 J of energy absorbed per kg.

1 Joule (J) = the work of 1 newton through a distance of 1 meter.

1 Newton (N) = force that will accelerate 1 kg mass at 1m/sec^2

Me confused now too
1 what?

Exclusion Principle - first set out by Wolfgang Paulie (for electrons), the condition that no two like "fermions" (e.g. two protons and two electrons) in an Atom may occupy the same quantum level at the same time, i.e., they may not have identical sets of "quantum numbers"...

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
