50 Times People Learned Something So “Fascinating” They Had To Share With Others

I remember that day. They wheeled the TV out so we could watch it during class.

Which is the ONLY reason they named it after him. Sadly in many parts of the usa - the jim crow laws are only lightly white washed.

Oh no! I'm sorry.

💔

And his death, sadly is the only reason the segregated place would name the library after him

😔

Oh! So sad!

😢😢😢😢😢

Thank you for that info. I think I can stop crying now.

"for A man". Armstrong got it wrong on the day, which is why there was such a long pause.

I’m surprised that he died at 82. R.I.P.

Better do that in 3D, or flat earthers will think it proves their point.

I could have gone my whole life without "skin-balloons." RIP sleep 😕

Adding “skin balloons” to vocabulary

Aren't we all

I make that same assumption about most people.

John Wayne Gacy has entered the chat.

Me too!

What a lovely word!

Puff, puff, pass.

This is most likely untrue. The behaviour of dolphins playing with a puffer fish was recorded on camera for a BBC documentary and this was the explanation given, but there is no scientific basis for this "fact".

Maybe that is where the got the idea from.

I can agree with you artist are sometimes so hard on there selves when they have a talent they even have in in old age. Someone who draw a bird and paint that bird and make it look like it could fly off the pages. My dad can do this and I've told him several times he should sell them or paint for people or something. And he just don't believe in his self or something. But damn he can really do a great job like better then some professional I hope someday he will but he is in his 60s I've told him this over and over even gave him tons of ideas. It sad.

I dislike the second. This one I like much better.

it also shows that if you listen to your heart you might end up making TWO beautifull things

Thank you @Cat!!! That was such a kind and insightful, uplifting message you are sending out to the universe!!

Thank you cat. I needed to hear that today 🥹

I'm currently working on a cross-stitch of the second one, I've always liked the swirls in the sky.

Yes you are. Thank you for the information.

He may not have felt it was good enough, but this is the one on my wall

🎶Though I could have told you, Vincent,this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you 🎶

Amusingly enough, look at the username on the bottom of this one.

"To my mind, that strange, wild man who roamed the fields of Provence was not only the world's greatest artist, but also one of the greatest men who ever lived."

starry night is one of my faves... you can get lost in it... one of my guitar straps is printed with this ..

Come on your 20 years older get rid of the posters already and invest in a knock oil painting.

And imagine, even black holes will die out at some point. From that moment on, time will loose it's meaning. There will be no time anymore, there will be literally nothing. Forever.

there are 10^80 protons in the universe. After 265 half lives the number of protons will have decreased to 1.69x10^-80% of the current number and there will be 1.69 protons left. That's obviously a theoretical number, and once there are only a trillion protons a half life won't be a very accurate measure. Still, that works out to 1.67x10^299 years until we're theoretically down to 1 or 2. That's a little bit more than an order of magnitude greater than 10^106. Since half lives are a statistical average the last proton could theoretically last another 10^50 years.

That is a lot of fancy words that I don’t understand , but I’m sure it makes sense to smart people

"a whole order of magnitude beyond 10^106". That would be 10^107.

If protons decay, that is. It's all hypothetical.

What this means in real terms is that when all the stars are dead, planets will still be around. And mining the core of a planet can provide light and warmth for everyone even when all the stars have gone dark. Until, of course, the whole universe explodes. Because the universe is metastable, it will eventually explode, but that's also a very long time in the future.
