Sabias que el agua salada puede incendiarse aplicando radio frecuencias altas?.
Estaban investigando la forma de curar el cancer mediante radio frecuencia, pero aplicandola de forma mucho mas precisa, de forma tal que inyectando una sustancia esta se adiera "solo" a celulas cancerigenas y luego aplicando radio frecuencia se queme esta sustancia y las celulas adyacentes (las cancerigenas). Esto disminuiria drasticamente el daño causado por los tratamientos por radiofrecuencia actuales.
En un experimento de campo, mientras aplicaban radiacion a una mezcla (muy similar al compuesto de agua salada) descubrieron que el agua se prendia fuego, lamentablemente la cantidad de energia necesaria para lograrlo hace que este descubrimento no sea considerado como una opcion para generar energia.

You know that salt water can ignite applying high radiofrequency?.
They were investigating how to cure cancer by radiofrequency but applying it much more precisely, so that injecting a substance that is adhere "only" to cancer cells and then applying radiofrequency this substance and adjacent cells burn ( the cancer). This drastically decrease the damage caused by radiofrequency current treatments.
In a field experiment, as applied radiation to a mixture (very similar to the compound salt water) they found that the water was on fire, unfortunately the amount of energy needed to achieve makes this discovery is not considered as an option to generate energy .

After you drank chocolate milk, put water into the glass, roll the spoon on it, toss it away, fill with water again. It will be much easier to wash it later and it won't smell bad after some time if you are lazy.

I learn that from living alone. No Wikipedia here.

Hello... Do you know that working is three times more dangerous than war? Every year circa 650 000 people died because of war but circa 2 millions people died every year in their job. :)

Sorry for my english.:)

The ratio between one millimeter and one kilometer (or 1/16 inch and one mile) is one million. Both the lower and upper bounds here are chosen to be everyday, familiar distances for which people can naturally appreciate and comprehend the difference in size.

OK, consider this factor of a million to be one "jump" in size. Again, the example given helps to establish a solid "feel" for how large one of these jumps is. It's pretty big, but comprehensible.

OK, so one millimeter to one km is one jump. A second, equivalent jump in size puts you in the ballpark of the diameter of the Sun. A third jump gives you a tenth of a light year - larger than the solar system, and the size of some of the smaller nebulae.

A fourth jump, and you have the diameter of the Milky Way galaxy itself. A fifth, and that's the size of the entire observable universe.
Five jumps, each one a size increase you can intuitively understand, and you have the whole universe.

And the other way?
One jump below a millimeter, and you're already at the atomic scale. Big atoms and small molecules hang around here.

A second jump, and you've gone nuclear, literally - you're bumping elbows with individual protons and neutrons (which gives you an idea of how small atomic nuclei are compared to the atoms they're part of).

A third jump, and you're looking at the smallest species of quarks, estimated to be a thousandth of the size of some of the larger ones. Neutrinos can be found at about three and a half jumps.

At somewhere just beyond four jumps, we reach the current limits of most speculation - Planck lengths, the quantum foam, and so on.)

Again, each jump is fairly easy to imagine by itself. And you only need about four of them to reach the limits of human understanding. Nine jumps gives you everything in the universe down to the quantum foam level.

PS: Thank you for the giveaways!

There is enough DNA in an average person’s body to stretch from the sun to Pluto and back 17 times. It's pretty awesome, isn't it? 0_0
The human genome, the genetic code in each human cell, contains 23 DNA molecules each containing from 500 thousand to 2.5 million nucleotide pairs. DNA molecules of this size are 1.7 to 8.5 cm long when uncoiled, or about 5 cm on average. There are about 37 trillion cells in the human body and if you’d uncoil all of the DNA encased in each cell and put them end to end, then these would sum to a total length of 2×1014 meters or enough for 17 Pluto roundtrips (1.2×1013 meters/Pluto roundtrip).
It's crazy :3

The young Koala (called "joey"), before the age of six months, is fed with a special form of food called "pap". In addition to other nutritional elements, the pap contains micro-organisms that are essential for the digestion of the (extremely poisonous) eucalypt leaves and the process of pap feeding makes the transition from the milk to the eucalypt diet (which is most of their diet although they occasionally eat other leaves)
The pap is a special form of faecies from the mother's caecum.. (I'll let you look that one up)
Cute little buggers aren't they?
But I'd like to also link this Universe scale which is quite impressive..

Thank you for this nice discussion. I've never met so many interesting facts in one topic. Enjoyed reading it :)

I can tell about a mathematical paradox that you can easy meet in a bus or in a train for instance.
Imagine you in a bus, where the 30 random people sit. The probability that two of them have the same birthday (same day and month, year can be different) is more than 50%.
That means you can find a pair of people with the same birthdays in each second bus on any bus direction, if there are at least 25-30 people in each.
Imagine it. It looks strange, but true :)

Understanding of this paradox can be simple if we will compare the right things.
It looks paradoxal when we compare a number of people (30) and a number of possible birthdays (366). The probability 50% is unbelievable here.
Really we should compare the number of possible pairs (30*29/2=435), because thesis is about two birthdays coincidence, not one :)

The chicken came first:
Scientists finally concluded that the chicken came first, not the egg, because the protein which makes egg shells is only produced by hens.

There's a molecule called Tetranitratoxycarbon created by a ten-year-old child (Clara Lazen) during a class in school, although is has not yet been synthesized.

The pyrite (fool's gold), is an iron sulfide with the chemical formula FeS2. This mineral's metallic lusterand pale brass-yellow hue give it a superficial resemblance to gold, hence the well-known nickname of fool's gold. The color has also led to the nicknames brass, brazzle, and Brazil, primarily used to refer to pyrite found in coal.
There are 4 ways TO DISTINGUISH FOOL’S GOLD FROM REAL GOLD

1. SHINE: When you’re viewing fool’s gold with the natural eye, it will glisten, not shine. The edges will look sharp and it may separate in layers. Gold shines at any angle, not just when the “light is right”.
2. HARDNESS: Get a piece of copper and try to scratch the copper with the gold. If it scratches it’s pyrite. Pyrite is harder than copper. If you do have real gold, be careful with this test. You wouldn’t want to damage a beautiful gold nugget!
3. RESIDUE: Gold will leave a pure yellow residue while pyrite will leave a greenish-black powdery residue when rubbed against white porcelain.
4. EDGES: Pyrite has sharp edges and gold has rounder edges. The shape of fools’s gold is a lot more angular.

may i get whitelisted sir, if not asking too much ?
I even got a nice joke, so you can tell im a funny and nice person (im not actually a funny person, im a liar. I also punched a kid in the stomach when i was 6yrs old, so not that nice)

A very interesting (and classic) experiment about the Wave–Particle Duality: Double-slit experiment

The modern double-slit experiment is a demonstration that light and matter can display characteristics of both classically defined waves and particles; moreover, it displays the fundamentally probabilistic nature of quantum mechanical phenomena.

In the basic version of this experiment, a coherent light source, such as a laser beam, illuminates a plate pierced by two parallel slits, and the light passing through the slits is observed on a screen behind the plate. The wave nature of light causes the light waves passing through the two slits to interfere, producing bright and dark bands on the screen—a result that would not be expected if light consisted of classical particles. However, the light is always found to be absorbed at the screen at discrete points, as individual particles (not waves), the interference pattern appearing via the varying density of these particle hits on the screen. Furthermore, versions of the experiment that include detectors at the slits find that each detected photon passes through one slit (as would a classical particle), and not through both slits (as would a wave). These results demonstrate the principle of wave–particle duality.

If light consisted strictly of ordinary or classical particles, and these particles were fired in a straight line through a slit and allowed to strike a screen on the other side, we would expect to see a pattern corresponding to the size and shape of the slit. However, when this "single-slit experiment" is actually performed, the pattern on the screen is a diffraction pattern in which the light is spread out. The smaller the slit, the greater the angle of spread. The top portion of the image shows the central portion of the pattern formed when a red laser illuminates a slit and, if one looks carefully, two faint side bands. More bands can be seen with a more highly refined apparatus. Diffraction explains the pattern as being the result of the interference of light waves from the slit.

Tardigrades are notable for being perhaps the most durable of known organisms: they can survive extreme conditions that would be rapidly fatal to nearly all other known life forms. They can withstand temperature ranges from 1 K (−458 °F; −272 °C) to about 420 K (300 °F; 150 °C),pressures about six times greater than those found in the deepest ocean trenches, ionizing radiation at doses hundreds of times higher than the lethal dose for a human, and the vacuum of outer space. They can go without food or water for more than 30 years, drying out to the point where they are 3% or less water, only to rehydrate, forage, and reproduce.
They are not considered extremophilic because they are not adapted to exploit these conditions. This means that their chances of dying increase the longer they are exposed to the extreme environments, whereas true extremophiles thrive in a physically or geochemically extreme environment that would harm most other organisms.

Usually, tardigrades are about 0.5 mm (0.02 in) long when they are fully grown. They are short and plump with four pairs of legs, each with four to eight claws also known as "disks". The first three pairs of legs are directed ventrolaterally and are the primary means of locomotion (moving), while the fourth pair is directed posteriorly on the terminal segment of the trunk and is used primarily for grasping the substrate. Tardigrades are prevalent in mosses and lichens and feed on plant cells, algae, and small invertebrates. When collected, they may be viewed under a very low-power microscope, making them accessible to students and amateur scientists.

Tardigrades form the phylum Tardigrada, part of the superphylum Ecdysozoa. It is an ancient group, with fossils dating from 530 million years ago, in the Cambrian period. About 1,150 species of tardigrades have been described. Tardigrades can be found throughout the world, from the Himalayas (above 6,000 m (20,000 ft)), to the deep sea (below 4,000 m (13,000 ft)) and from the polar regions to the equator.

In normal circumstances, proteins and enzymes must create a bond between each other and make products in miliseconds with a chain reaction, so every enzyme is bounding and releasing millions of times in minutes.
According to a research, these proteins don't have to actually bound to each other, but they need to be so close in order to create a new product. This called affinity score and every protein pair has a different score to calculate with its electronegativity, pH and temperature values. So that means if we found some irrelevant proteins (like avocado's inner matrix and cherry's mitochondrial protein) and create new substances or products, we could create something not in this world, maybe even not in this universe.
By the way, this is my thesis topic in MA.

Viagra (sildenafil citrate) is good not only for treating male impotence. Israeli and Australian researchers have discovered that small concentrations of the drug dissolved in a vase of water can also double the shelf life of cut flowers, making them stand up straight for as long as a week beyond their natural life span.

Mmm.... men with prostate can die without knowing they have it, prostate cancer usually grows very slowly. most men are older than 65 years and don't die from the disease. They can die from a heart attack and in the autopsy they get the result.

For many years, molecular biologists have been talking about the "$1000 genome", that is, the ability to sequence genomes for at a price of 1000 dollars or less. Well, last generation sequencers produced by Illumina are actually capable of doing so, which for some marks a key milestone in the development of personalized -or precision- medicine. Sooner than later, sequencing will be routinely incorporated into standard clinical practice, as in fact has already been done in some hospitals for cancer diagnosis. Genetic information will open the door, not only to more effective treatments -which is crucial in cancer and other complex diseases-, but also more safe: this knowledge is key to designing a therapeutic strategy adapted to the metabolism of the patient.

On a completely unrelated note, the last year has seen considerable advancements in research on ancient genomes, that is, genomes from ancient individuals, often extinct. In the case of human, this has the potential to shed light into some of the crucial evolutionary changes that have taken place in the last millennia. One already classic example is the acquisition of mutations that confer light skin and blue eyes, which might be useful to increase the production of D vitamin (due to increased sun exposure) and diminish the incidence of winter depression.

If a star is moving towards the earth the light waves it emits will be closer together causing them to appear blue.

If it is moving away from the earth they are farther apart causing them to appear red.
