Science is full of surprises! Here are 10 amazing facts that sound like jokes or fairy tales… but they’re 100% real.
1️⃣ Bananas are radioactive! 🍌
Yes, bananas contain potassium-40, a naturally radioactive isotope.
But don’t worry – you'd have to eat millions to feel any effect. So keep munching!
2️⃣ Water can boil and freeze at the same time! 💧🔥❄️
This strange state is called the triple point, where water’s temperature and pressure are just right to make it do both!
3️⃣ Space smells like burnt steak! 🚀🥩
Astronauts report that space smells like seared meat or welding fumes. Yum?
4️⃣ Your stomach gets a new lining every few days!
Otherwise, the strong acid would digest itself! That’s some extreme self-care! 😅

Two pump blood to the gills. One pumps it to the rest of the body.
Oh, and when they swim, one heart stops beating. Lazy much?
6️⃣ You can’t burp in space! 🌌
In zero gravity, gas doesn’t separate from liquids in your stomach.
So no burping – only awkward space hiccups.

Imagine a birthday that never ends!
8️⃣ Honey never spoils! 🍯

Mummy-approved snack!
9️⃣ Hot water can freeze faster than cold water!
It’s called the Mpemba effect – scientists are still trying to understand why. 🤯
