If you were thrown into space without a space suit, your body will not explode. This kinda clears a BIG misconception which many have... Your body is probably capable of handling the pressure. Other than that, you would NOT freeze instantly even if you were in the coldest part of space. Its because the amount of heat present in your body will help you stay warm, unless the heat is transferred. Also, do not try to hold your breath to save oxygen in space. Your lungs will rupture, and you would die, even if you are rescued in time.

Well, wonder who actually tested this...
One fact which I know is that space isnt completely vacuum as many think..it has hydrogen atoms too..

Also, no wonder of the world is visible from space.

Plus, I want confirmation of you people on a fact...I read that 75% Americans dont know that sun is a star..I am not too sure about this..because almost all of the people I know in US know that sun is a star.

It is possible to dodge a laser if it was about to hit the last atom of your body while you were running you would be able to get out of the way.

Untrue. This would need the ability to move a body part faster than the speed of light. Impossible, as I state. Besides, who's aim is THAT bad? You can't dodge it, so aim for the chest!
But....I can move faster than the speed of light,ZOOM!In fact ,I'm faster than Sonic the Hedgehog,this all happened when i was a boy,I fell in to nuclear waste and changed my molicules to unormal and giving me extra power and speed exceeding the speed of light,I'M FASTER THAN ANY BEING IN THE UNIVERSE/not

I should be a physics teacher, hah.

Read.
Oh! And a black hole has an end to it, technically. Except thos "end" isn't an end point, it's an end TIME. In the case of a black hole, this end "time" would be the end of time, as the collapsed star would instantly expose one to anti-matter, though you wouldn't know it. You'd be ripped to shreds, then compressed to a ball of matter in half of a second.

Another odd fact. If you took a spoonful of matter from a dying star, it's weigh over one MILLION tons on Earth. One spoonfull.
A friend at my high school told me that black holes would shrink you to the size of an ant and change your body's chemistry into a dried, hardened, husk. With the texture of a Lucky Charms marshmallow.
