Earth has more trees than stars have in the entire galaxy

The number of trees on earth is way more than the number of stars in the galaxy.

NASA authorities believe there could be anywhere from 100-400 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, as reported by snoops. On the contrary, a 2015 paper published in the journal Nature estimated that the number of trees around the world is much higher: 3.04 trillion.

The only letter that doesn’t appear in the periodic table

Yes, it’s the letter J. You may double check. We will wait. So, don’t miss these science “facts” that aren’t actually true, either.

How are humans related to fungi?

A research done by University of Cambridge in the year 2015 suggests that mankind may have evolved with genes that came from plants for which researchers accept that about 1% of the human genome could have been acquired from plants, The Telegraph reports. So when at times your corny uncle called himself a “fungi”? He was actually right!

Diamond rains on other planets? Know more about it!

Well, diamonds are definitely the Milky Way galaxy’s best friends. Investigation showed that Neptune, Uranus, Jupiter, and Saturn have to produce diamonds. The atmospheres present in all four planets have such extreme pressure that they can crystalize carbon atoms and turn them into diamonds. Scientists were able to create the correct conditions in a lab to prove this occurs on Neptune and Uranus. Independently, a different group of researchers speculates that it may rain as high as 2.2 million pounds of diamonds on parts of Saturn every year.

Helium can also work against gravity

The minute helium is cooled to extreme temperatures, just a few degrees away from absolute zero (-460?F or -273?C), it turns into a superfluid, which can flow without friction. It can also rise up the sides of a glass. It can leak through molecule-think cracks in a container and if it starts flowing like a fountain, it will never stop.

We have no hint what most of the universe looks like!

Around 96% of the universe is made up of dark matter and dark energy, which are undetectable to humans. Experts believe since the particles that make up these substances don’t interact with regular matter or light. Although scientific discoveries are continuously being made about the celestial bodies we can see, it’s impossible to make conclusions about things that are not visible to our naked eyes.
