  4. Time, Baby: It's Relative: Earth's rotation is actually slowing down, meaning that an average day is getting longer by about 1.8 seconds every hundred years. Just imagine what time will look like in 600 million years from now!
  5. Cellular Cannibalism: Your Brain's Best Friend: Phagocytosis, a process where cells consume other cells or molecules, helps your brain clean up shop and keeps your grey matter intact.

  7. Cosmic Latte: The Perfect Blend: Astronomers have discovered that the universe's average colour is a beige hue they've dubbed 'Cosmic Latte'.
  8. Timekeeper Among the Animals: Smaller animals, like salamanders and lizards, perceive time more slowly than larger animals. Those higher-up on the food chain got dibs on Thomson's timepiece, it seems.
  9. The Paradox of Wetness: While water might feel wet on our skin, scientists argue that water itself is not technically wet, since wetness is defined primarily by a liquid's ability to maintain contact with a solid surface.
  10. Headless Chicken Lives: Mike the chicken lived for 18 months without a head, thanks to his jugular vein and most of his brainstem staying intact. Now that's what I call resolve!
