Facts Those Seem Fake
1. Jupiter and Saturn have diamond rains
These two gas giants have real skies of diamonds. Scientists say the pressure inside the giant planets can easily turn carbon into diamonds.
First, lightning transforms methane into carbon, which hardens as it falls down, turning into chunks of graphite after 1,600 km and then into diamonds after an additional 6,000 km.
2. There are more than 1.6M ants per person on Earth.
Myrmecologists worldwide made an estimate that there are 1-10 quadrillion ants living on Earth now. That means there are more than 1 million of these insects for each human, and their total mass is about the same as that of mankind.
3. The strawberry is not a berry.
As a matter of fact, the “berry” of the strawberry isn’t at all its fruit. It’s just an overgrown receptacle that carries the true fruit on it – that’s right, the green and white seeds. You’ll probably need some time to get used to this. Isn’t it one of the Facts Those Seem Fake ?
4. Neil Armstrong’s space suit was made at a brafactory.
Few know that the space suit of the first man on the Moon was made at a factory which produced bras and lingerie in Dover, DE. We just hope Neil felt comfortable in it.
5. Koalas are the only animals with a unique fingerprint pattern, like humans.
Professor Maciej Henneberg from Adelaide University proved there are no differences between the fingerprints of koalas and humans. Even a microscope scanner can’t find them. So it turns out koalas are the only animal, apart from humans, that have unique fingerprint patterns.
6. The surface area of Russia is bigger than that of Pluto.
Russia’s surface area is 17,098,246 sq. km.; Pluto’s surface area is 16,650,000 sq. km.
7. Dolphins can talk on the phone and recognize the one they’re talking to.
Every dolphin has its own signal name that appears in adolescence and is kept their whole life. We know that dolphins can tell their relatives’ signals from all the rest. They’re able to recognize each other with the help of short tone perception. People also recognize their opponents on the phone by voice, so if dolphins could talk on the phone, they would know each other.
