About a quarter of people on the planet sneezes because of the sun

If your friend sneezes in bright light, then he is a carrier of an unusual gene. It is believed that such people have developed a photic sneeze reflex, an automatic response that causes sneezing in response to irritation from bright light. This amazing reflex was discovered by Aristotle, who decided that the heat of the Sun makes the nostrils actively sweat, which is why a person sneezes. Today, scientists cannot say for sure why a person sneezes from light, but the key lies in the genome. Apparently, such people have a gene that confuses brain signals coming from the nose and eyes. And instead of responding with a tear to bright light that harms the retina, the brain sends signals up the nose, causing a sneeze. Such a non-standard reaction occurs on average in 17-35% of the world's population.

Coal ash is more radioactive than nuclear waste

Coal-fired power plants generate more hazardous waste than their modern cousins, nuclear power plants. On average, a coal plant pollutes the environment a hundred times more than a nuclear plant with the same capacity. Charcoal contains radium and thorium, which are dangerous when accumulated in the environment. A solid piece of coal poses no threat, since the concentration of elements in it is negligible. But at the stations, coal is burned, as a result of which ten times more radioactive elements are concentrated in the waste products. In addition, coal ash is often used as an auxiliary raw material for the production of a variety of products: fertilizers, cinder blocks, drywall, tiles, paving.

There is a fish in the world with human teeth

And she's not harmless at all. Pacu is an exotic fish that is closely related to piranhas. This fish lives only in the waters of the Amazon. Unlike piranhas, pacu feed on nuts and fruits that fall into the water, algae, and sometimes they eat small fish and invertebrates. For this reason, their teeth are not sharp, like those of piranhas, but flat, like those of a person. However, despite its non-aggressiveness, the pacu can injure a person due to its powerful jaws. In Papua New Guinea, these fish castrated several fishermen standing in the water, mistaking their genitals for nuts. Pacu can grow up to a meter in length and looks quite unusual.

Spruce can germinate in the lung

In 2009, one of our compatriots was scheduled for a lung resection, as doctors discovered he had cancer. The diagnosis was confirmed by an X-ray, which clearly showed a dark spot. In addition, the patient complained of severe chest pain and hemoptysis. The surgeon who performed the operation carefully examined the tumor before cutting it out, and could not believe his eyes. A centimeter spruce grew right in the man's lung. She connected with the capillaries, because of which the man felt unbearable pain. Presumably, the patient inhaled a spruce seed, which had the strength and nutrients to germinate right in the human lung. Interestingly, the person did not experience the sensation of a foreign body in the chest, and the x-ray did not show a real picture.

Your smartphone can send astronauts to the moon

The phone you carry in your pocket is only 50 years apart from the first moon landing. However, in terms of technical capabilities, the inside of a regular phone is a million times more powerful than the Apollo Guidance Computer, the computer that sent astronauts to the moon at the end of the 20th century. These computing devices were the size of a car and cost $3.5 million each. Today, even a simple clock that ticks relentlessly on your phone is comparable in performance to 120 million simultaneous Apollo launches to the moon.

The hole in the pen cap will save your life

Take a closer look at the ballpoint pen that is on your desk. Even cheap pens have caps with one or more holes. The same holes are on the unscrewing tip, which protects the rod from the other side. The first buyers of ballpoint pens were sure that the holes were a tricky move by manufacturers, because they made the paste dry faster. But caps with holes are needed so that a person does not suffocate if they accidentally swallow the cap. Manufacturers have wisely taken into account the habit of some people to chew on the cap of the pen during intense thinking. For example, thanks to these holes, a child with a cap in his throat will not die from suffocation while doctors remove a foreign object.

Skype was invented to keep track of the coffee pot

Today we use Skype and other video communication programs to communicate with friends and relatives. Initially, the innovative idea had a less ambitious but more practical purpose. In 1993, the computer lab at the University of Cambridge got tired of constantly approaching an empty coffee pot that was in another room. In order to always know whether the coffee pot is full or empty, and not to make unnecessary gestures, they installed a camera that transmitted images to their work computers. The picture was updated on average three times per minute. At the end of the year, the coffee pot and its creators became famous, ushering in the era of video communication.

Einstein invented the refrigerator without a compressor

Einstein took up the development of his own refrigerator after the tragedy that happened to an ordinary German family in the 1920s. People died due to sulfur dioxide leaking from a faulty refrigerator. Then Einstein developed a device without moving parts, that is, a refrigerator without a compressor. Instead of dangerous coolants, it used harmless alcohol fuel. Even though Einstein's refrigerator was ready for mass production, it never made its debut. In the 1930s, the patent was bought by the Electrolux company, which considered that refrigerators with a compressor were more efficient, and slowed down the introduction of innovation. In 2008, Oxford University staff developed their own concept of an Einstein refrigerator that would run on solar panels. The device does not require electricity, since energy is needed only to heat the pump.

Trailers were originally shown after the movies

Have you ever wondered why endless mini-videos in movie theaters are called "trailers"? When cinema was just beginning to capture the consciousness of people, trailers were played not before, but after the films. Hence the name: "trailers" or "attached from behind." Directors, producers and marketers quickly realized that no force would force people to stay after the session and watch annoying videos. For this reason, trailers began to show before the session. The approach to showing videos has changed, but the name has been preserved.

The amazing speed of movement of dolphins is one of the mysteries that scientists still cannot solve. This contradicts the laws of hydrodynamics - bodies with unchanged surface properties must either move several times slower in water, or have much greater muscle strength.

Dense, but at the same time very smooth, it is a miracle of nature. In the meantime, scientists are studying the secret of the speed of dolphins, as if teasing people, easily overtaking high-speed ships on the high seas and jumping out in front of them.
