Everything Explained

@gidikariuki We'll never know as it's getting bigger and bigger

How big is the nothingness out there?

A day happens when a planet completes one full rotation on its axis, and a year happens when a planet completes one full revolution around the Sun. The interesting part is that Venus rotates more slowly on its axis than it revolves around the Sun. This means Venus completes one full revolution before it finishes a single rotation

A day on Venus lasts 243 Earth days A year on Venus lasts 225 Earth days

@AMAZlNGNATURE Nope, there are people on International Space Station too

There's only 4 living humans not in this photo

It gets flushed to the corner of your eye by your tears. Every time you blink your eye produces a thin layer of tears that pushes debris toward the inner corner near your nose. That's where your tear ducts are. The eyelash either gets stuck in that gunk you sometimes see in the corner of your eye in the morning, or it drains through your tear ducts into your nasal cavity. That's why your nose runs when you cry.

Yes.

In this era where everyone uses smartphones, what about having a flip phone just for calls? Sounds kinda cool, right?

Why do we feel sleepy after eating? Digestion pulls a significant amount of blood flow toward the gut to process food. your body also releases hormones during eating, particularly cholecystokinin, which signals fullness and has a mild sedative effect. If the meal was high in carbohydrates, blood sugar rises and then drops, and that drop is directly linked to reduced alertness.

@grovymango Nahh, 51 divisible by 17 is more unsettling

51 being divisible by 3 is so unsettling. When clearly it has prime number vibes

Why does your voice sound different in recordings? When you speak, you hear yourself two ways at once. Through the air reaching your ears and through the vibration traveling directly through your skull bones to your inner ear. Bone conduction adds lower, richer frequencies that make your voice sound deeper to yourself. A recording only captures airborne sound, which is what everyone else actually hears. The version in your head is the one that's slightly altered. the recording is the accurate one.

Why does paper cut hurt more than a bigger cut? paper cuts happen in an area packed with nerve endings, your fingertips, and the cut is shallow enough that it doesn't bleed much. Bleeding actually helps flush out damaged nerve endings and dulls pain slightly. A paper cut leaves those nerves fully exposed and irritated, open to air, soap, water, everything you touch. the pain isn't from the size of the wound. It's from the location and the lack of bleeding that would normally help numb it.

@itiswattles Yeah, i wonder when they'll release the real pictures😔

cant believe its 2026 and we will only have black and white pictures on the moon

Gotta be the first ever tweet from space

Everyone saying I’m making this shit up and that I’m wrong should try reading and listening a bit more. YouTube and Google are free, you can verify it there instead of arguing endlessly here. Even Neil deGrasse Tyson has explained the same phenomenon I mentioned. Go correct him instead.

What you're experiencing is Moon Illusion. When the Moon is low on the horizon, your mind compares it to buildings, trees, mountains, basically anything in view, so it looks way bigger than it actually is. When it’s high up, there’s nothing around it, just empty sky, so it suddenly feels smaller even though it hasn’t changed at all. In space, that effect mostly disappears because there aren’t any strong reference points or a proper horizon. So astronauts on the International Space Station just see the Moon at a steady, normal size not big like we see on Earth.

So the moon is bigger from my house and by the way, I see the moon 24 hrs a day, but from the astronauts' view is tiny, please explain.

In 1923, Insulin's inventor Frederick Banting sold the patent for $1. Banting famously stated, "Insulin does not belong to me, it belongs to the world".

Why are leaves green? Leaves are green because of a molecule called chlorophyll, which is what plants use to absorb sunlight for photosynthesis. The interesting part is that chlorophyll doesn't actually absorb green light very well. It absorbs red and blue light and uses those wavelengths to run the chemical reaction that converts CO2 and water into sugar. Green light mostly gets reflected back, and that reflected green is what your eyes pick up. There are other pigments in leaves too, yellows and reds and oranges, but chlorophyll is so abundant during growing season that it overpowers everything else. When autumn comes and the plant stops producing chlorophyll, those other pigments finally show through.
