What Fact Shocked You The Most

[silentsentinel]

If you have spider web as thick as a pencil, length ways not width, it can bring a 747 at top speed to a dead stop.

This cant be true, can it?

it is spider silk is the strongest substance known to man. Im just going off the top of my head but it you had a 1 inch thick cable made out of spider silk, you would need a 10 inch thick steel cable to be as strong

Furthermore, scientists studied spider webs when they were designing bulletproof vests.

The weight of the light that our sun shines is 4 million tons per second.

light has no weight it is an electro-magnetic wave. thus the fact that 61% of facts are made up

Quantum Physics, when a electron hits a potential barrier it temporarily disappears, poof, gone. Only for like pico-seconds sort of time, then it either rebounds off the wall if the potential in the electron is to low, or passes through.

Also quantum physics in general, it's just messed up!

Wave-Particle duality, everything exists as both a particle and a wave, in the case of electromagnetic radiation, light especially, you get photons. The photon has a relativistic mass, in theory, but none out side of velocities that are less than ~ 0.95c, but it is a advanced subject I know a little about, and only a little, a very little.

I think it was said that on average 200 spiders crawl into your mouth and get eaten while your sleeping in your lifetime.

I thought that was disproved, on the fact that a spider is smart and wouldn't crawl into a human mouth...

and also a subject i know NOTHING about so you win *japnese defeat suicide*

If you know nothing about it, it's a very marginal victory

If you get shot without you knowing you won't die. (well at least I think thats true)

Well bullets are reknowned for their politness.....
Seriously though just because you`re in a state of shock doesn`t mean the bullet won`t kill you

I think he might be referring to one of The US Presidents being shot with a .22 round during a speach and not realising until after he had finished the speach. He survived as well(I think it was Nixon, but Im really not sure.). In all fairness, I read this in the Zombie Survival Guide, so my source isnt that credible.

That the teeth are the strongest thing in your body.

When I thought about it, it's true. If I can't open something with my hands, it goes straight to my mouth (get your minds out the gutter!)
Like a bottle of cola or bag of Malteasers.

I'm sorry but my mind drowned in the gutter near half way through reading this. Lol.

Not too long ago scientists managed to bond a metal, I think it was zinc, with spider silk, to make it about three times stronger than it was before.

Alright then the matter that the suns turns into energy to make light is 4 million tons per second, happy now?

It was dis-proven.

I heard you mainly swallow the little ones that use their webbing to float on air currents.

That, and you swallow two teaspoons of spiders eggs in your lifetime (also from sleeping).

I don't belive the poppy seed thing is true or so my health teacher says

ITs ture, you just need to eat over a dozen poppyseed bagels.

Its like the fact that chocolate has hallucinogenic qualities, you just need to eat tweleves pound in a single uniterupted sitting.

If you are shot and instantly killed by a Sniper or long distance shooter, you won't hear it due to light travelling a lot faster than sound.

I believe that would have mroe to do with the bullet travelling faster than sound rather than light.

FINE
*hands wwjdftw a cookie*
Now shush.

JRCB, it would not take about 1.25 seconds for light to get from the earth to the moon. It would take 0.00 seconds to go that far. Look up the Gamma Factor
