10 Fascinating Science Fact So Captivating But Skeptical

Have you ever envisage that humans only have five senses? And yet
explores their environment technically and called it Adventure science. 
According to George Bernard Shaw, Science never solves a problem
without creating ten more. In my view, I strongly believe science has to
do with how it’s being communicated, professed and, how it’s being
taught in school.
 Undiluted science fact and data do not scare people
but rather it’s fun. However, what top scientists might forget is that
they venture into their fields because of some widespread science
movement in the first place, be it the Apollo missions, Yuri Gagarin
Space exploration or one stirring late afternoon in the middle of a job
position when your friend explained how a tracking device works.

With the above well said, knowing how man’s quest for knowledge is
unending, I have realized that Scientists have become the bearers of the
torch of discovery. My list of Fascinating Science Fact I find so
captivating  but skeptical was spurred from the box of Carl Sagan (We
live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in
which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology).
 I hope
you do find it interesting, because since science is life, life is
science, driven with the passion to learn  and discover more every day
and it’s my deepest hope that something similar happens to you as well.

1.      Does Pluto still counts as a planet?

 Honestly, to me Pluto is an outlier; I don’t know what you think. Pluto
is considered the tiniest and sometimes referred to as a dwarf planet
(Link1) Pluto used to be a planet, but today it is called a “dwarf
planet, According to NASA. Pluto lost its status as a planet a few years
back, but some people where too narrow-minded to decipher the message
and believe strongly in the nine-planet solar system classical, but if I
may ask, why is Pluto a dwarf planet and no longer counts as a planet?
(link2) According to universe today. Pluto never really fit in with the
rest of the planets. It is far smaller than all of the other rock-strewn
planets. All thanks to the benefit of space traveling; now our
telescopes has grown even better, we started discovering more and more
objects that were comparable to Pluto in dimensions. Should they be
counted as planets, too?

Sincerely, everything would have been fine as long as we didn’t find one
object which is bigger than Pluto. Though, that is exactly what
happened when the prevalent Eris was revealed, so a decision was made.
If Pluto is a planet, so is Eris (and most likely a few others, too),
which means that even if Pluto was still conserved  as a planet, the
nine-planet model would still be obsolete. That is why it was relegated
to dwarf planet along with Eris, Ceres, Haumea and Makemake, and it is
highly likely that they are not unaccompanied

2.      The average person walks the equivalent of five times around the world in a lifetime

Can somebody tell me this is true; sometimes I hardly have warm sponge
bath and a nice sleep, after thinking a whole lot about science fictions
of this nature, which am being inclined to believe. But science is life
and life is learning. According to research the average temperately
active person takes around 7,500 step/day.  If you uphold this daily
average and live until 80 years of age approximately, you’ll have walked
about 216,262,500 steps in your lifespan, so shocking; can you see what
I mean? (link3)  Doing the math calculation here.The average person
with the average pace living until 80 will walk a distance of around
110,000 miles.  This is the equivalent of walking about 5 times around
the Earth, right on the equator.

3.      Life began in a pond or ocean According to the Primordial Soup Theory

Sometimes I am tempted to believe that actually life did originate from
the ocean or pond as a result of simple biochemical reactions. Don’t
giggle, am dam serious. The Primordial Soup theory propose that life
began in a pond or ocean as a result of the mixture of chemicals from
the atmosphere and some form of energy to make amino acids, the
structure and tiny building blocks of proteins, which would then
progress into all the species (Link4) According to Evolution of First
Life without Oparin (Primordial Soup) Theory of Evolution: a Critical
Review.
 Statistically this is supposed to happen at least 3.8 billion to 3.55
billion years ago. In this model, the rudimentary building blocks of
life came from simple micro molecules which formed in the atmosphere
with the aid of sufficient amount of oxygen. This was then energized by
lightning and the rain from the atmosphere created the “organic soup”.
The leading organisms would have to be simple heterotrophs in order to
survive by overriding and feeding on other organisms for energy before
means of photosynthesis. They would become autotrophs by mutation.
Evidence now opines the first organisms were autotrophs. After series of
negative comments on the primordial soup theory, several Problems were
highlighted with the theory.

4.      Do you know that most of your body heat escapes through your head

Science always seems to astonish me completely, I don’t know about you!
Sometimes I wonder why am not in space for some research, to see this
things for myself. But sincerely speaking I do hope to get there,
because I am totally astonished by the wonders of these innovations.
Numerous reasons have been given for this idea about the escape of heat
through our head (such as the lack of fat in your head compared to other
body parts) (link5). Nevertheless, the certainty is that you will lose
just as much heat through your head as you do through the rest of your
body, without accounting for insulation like clothing. After days of
routine analysis and scrutiny, I was able to realize that unless you
have a tendency to wander unclothed through the snow during winters,
your body is not clothed equally. Generally, your head is the only
exposed part of your body which is the simple (and obvious) answer to
why it is colder than the rest of your body. I hope you can now believe
why most of your body heat escapes through your head. If you don’t leave
your comment below.

5.       The Less-colorful Goldfish have a 3-second memory

It’s actually astonishing that this theory has wedged around for as long
as it did since it’s substantially easy to contradict (link6) Showing
how Goldfish Do Not Have a Three Second Memory. Funny nature of science,
we still have a lot to do. Experiments performed with
goldfish(Less-colorful carp organism) demonstrated moderate Pavlovian
conditioning. The fish in the experiment would receive food under
certain circumstances (customarily in overtone with another body). After
several instances, it became clear that the fish learned to associate
the two together, showing that their memories last for at least several
days.
