I wouldn’t be worried about your brain. There’s been a lot of good literature in the last decade or so suggesting that poor oral hygiene is even more significantly linked to the development of chronic heart disease than was always thought. When you’re fighting off an infection it puts stress on your heart, and when it’s recurrent because you’re routinely not cleaning your gums then it adds up over the years

The light from the Sun takes about 8.3 minutes to get to the Earth. If sound *could* travel from the Sun to the Earth, it would take about 13 years. So if the Sun went nova, we would see the explosion in 8.3 minutes, along with large quantities of assorted harmful radiation. If there was air for sound to travel through in space, the sound of the explosion would reach Earth in 13 years. Thankfully, the sound of the Sun does not travel through space to Earth, otherwise there would probably be a constant painful deafing roar even without the Sun going nova. Light: 300,000,000 meters per second. Sound: 343 meters per second. Light is some 874,000 times faster than sound.

I will give them one thing, at least they’re phrasing this as questions and admitting their own understanding is the problem. Stupider people would be like “I can’t believe how stupid NASA are for not realising this!”

Do you mean the people that say these things are stupid? That's a bit unkind but yes, but this is about posting the comments, not about the people that made them.
Load More Replies...The major innovation in the internet is that we now know how stupid people are.
Yes, this is all we've really learned from it.
Load More Replies...Usually I lose my eyebrows to the ceiling at most of these, today I'm frowning so hard I might need botox.
