10 lesser- Know Science Facts That Will Blow Your Mind

 1. Banana DNA is 50% identical to human DNA:

   The DNA of bananas shares about 50% of its genetic material with humans. This surprising fact showcases the evolutionary connections that exist across diverse species.

2. The E=mc² equation is incomplete:

   While Einstein's famous equation, E=mc², is widely known, it is actually an abbreviated form. The full equation includes a term for momentum, making it E²=(mc)²+(pc)², where p is momentum. This extended form accounts for objects moving at high speeds.

3. The majority of the universe is invisible:

   Dark matter and dark energy together constitute about 95% of the total mass-energy content of the universe. Yet, scientists know very little about them, and they remain largely invisible and mysterious.

4. Honey never spoils:

   Archaeologists have found pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are over 3,000 years old and still perfectly edible. The natural composition of honey, including low water content and acidic pH, creates an environment unfavorable for bacteria and microorganisms.

5. Plants can communicate with each other:

   Plants use chemical signals to communicate with each other. When a plant is under attack by insects, it can release volatile organic compounds to warn nearby plants, triggering them to produce defensive chemicals.

6. A day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus:

   Venus has an extremely slow rotation on its axis, taking about 243 Earth days to complete one rotation. However, its orbit around the Sun only takes around 225 Earth days, making a day (rotation) longer than a year (orbit).

7. Octopuses have three hearts:

   Octopuses have two hearts that pump blood to the gills and one heart that pumps it to the rest of the body. This unique circulatory system contributes to their remarkable flexibility and agility.

8. There's a giant diamond in space:

   In 2004, astronomers discovered a star named BPM 37093, also known as "Lucy." This crystallized white dwarf is essentially a diamond of 10 billion trillion trillion carats, making it the largest diamond ever discovered.

9. Cows have a magnetic sense:

   Cows tend to align themselves with the Earth's magnetic field when grazing or resting. While the exact purpose of this behavior is not fully understood, it suggests that cows possess a natural sense of the Earth's magnetic orientation.

10. The world's quietest room can drive you insane:

    Located at Orfield Laboratories in Minnesota, the anechoic chamber holds the Guinness World Record for being the quietest place on Earth. With virtually no sound, visitors can hear their own heartbeat and other internal bodily sounds, which can lead to sensory deprivation effects, making the experience unsettling for some.
