Did you know the speed of light is the highest speed possible, according to the theory of relativity, and its value is dependent of the motion of its source and of the observer? Its value is 299,792,458 metre per second / 186,281 miles per second. It is impossible to accelerate any material body to this speed because it would require an infinite amount of energy.
Did you know the maximum speed with which a falling raindrop can hit you is about 29 kmph / 18 mph? In a vacuum, the further an object falls, the more speed it gains.
Did you know the world's smallest winged insect is smaller than the eye of a house fly? It is the Tanzanian parasitic wasp 'Fairy fly', which has a wingspan of 0.2 mm / 0.008 in.
Did you know the mudskipper spends three-quarters of its time out of the water? Malaysian mudskippers live in mangrove swamps, where they climb among the tangled stems and roots, and sometimes into the branches.
Did you know when spiny lobsters migrate, they do so by walking in queues of up to 65 along the sea-bed, each clinging with its claws to the rear of the one in front? Scientific experiments have shown that such an arrangement reduces drag and allows a 25% improvement in speed.
Did you know blood flows through 96,500 km / 60,000 m of arteries and veins?
Did you know frogs and toads never eat with their eyes open? When eating, they have to push down with the back of the eyeball in order to force food into the stomach.
Did you know the tallest tree ever measured was an Australian eucalyptus reported in 1872. It was 132 m / 435 ft tall?
Did you know Bracken is one of the world's six most common plants and also one of the six oldest, being at least 90 million years old?
Did you know plants can communicate with each othe?. A wounded plant may release a gaseous hormone that warns its neighbours to prepare their defences for insect attack, thus limiting potential damage.
I'm fascinating aren't I?
