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.

People say its a mountain..... WRONG!! Its a storm thats been going on for 300 years!! My question... When was the last time the aliens on Jupiter saw the sun?
Never? Jupiter's a gas planet, and wouldn't exactly be able to hold life in the way we think of life.

Females make the egg, transfer it over to the male, who give birth to it. That's what I read somewhere.

I can't believe that you guys are all so proud of weird facts you know:\. Oh well, lets add to the list.
Girls have greater peripheral vision than boys, which means girls are able to see and take into account things that aren't straight in front of them so they are better than most boys and finding things in a room.
A starfish could have one of its arms or points (whatever you want to call it) and if there is enough of the brain in it, it will grow a completely different starfish and the original starfish will grow that arm back.
Sea cucumbers eat through the same hole that dispose waste out of
Oh well this is from the education side...most people are proving girls better than boys ... this puts girls behind...
No girl has ever topped IIT-JEE exam since it started in 1950...what would you say about that...
RowDog you fact about a sea cucumber... Ok.... Somet slightly a like....
A shark cannot produce waste, so they turn their stomach inside out, and regurgitate it, yes it's through their mouths...

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
(Jul. 23, 2011 9:47 AM)Temporal Wrote: [ -> ] You see, in the equation E=mc2, the main component is the E=some variant of C2, which is Lightspeed multiplied upon itself. This means that energy is equal to lightspeed. Also, you must take into account the M part, which is mass. Due to these two existing in the same equation to determine energy spent, you must assume the original Lightspeed to be infinity, due to the impossibility to reach it by c2. As a result, it forces E to equal infinity also if one were to reach lightspeed. Of course, it also means that Mass would be infinity also. This is impossible, as infinity is not a number, it is a concept. If infinite mass is reached outside of light and black holes, the matter's opposite, called anti-matter, would have no choice but to have negative mass, which would mean NEGATIVE INFINITY! This results in both ceasing to exist, as that would require a fixed position in time-space, which is impossible, due to the expansion of the Universe. This is part of the idea that all things are positioned in relative space to the observer, which is why my version of "A long way" is different than yours. Seeing as the observer would then be in a fixed position with light in this case, they would both cease to exist, leaving the anti-matter behind. This is impossible. Of course, this is a theory, so it's not proven 100% truth. Yet. Right now, it's accepted as truth by most scientific figures.
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.

Codenine: Nah, you'd be destroyed by the gravity, and ripped in half from six miles away. If light can't escape, how can your body stay whole?
