The energy in the sound wave spreads from the source in a succession of pulses from air molecule to air molecule. When a series of sound wave pulses crush, this is referred to as compression, and when they spread out, this is referred to as rarefaction. Sound waves travel through the air by compressing and rarefying it.

The Royal Spanish Football Federation grew preoccupied with inviting Lionel Messi to join the Spanish Football Team a few years after he arrived in Barcelona. But Messi had a different plan; he wanted to follow in the footsteps of former Argentina great Diego Maradona and play for his country, so he turned down the opportunity. When the Argentine Football Association learnt of the situation, they planned two under-20 friendly despite knowing nothing about young Messi (actually, they did not know who that Messi guy was).

Reed Hastings, CEO of Netflix, got the idea for the company back in 1997 when Blockbuster had charged him a late fee of $40 for a VHS copy of Apollo 13. His little idea soon grew into something a lot bigger and he eventually launched Netflix in 1998. 

Speaking of the pyramids, I always thought that they were built by slaves. It wasn’t until visiting Cairo that I learned that the pyramids were in fact built by proper laborers. Archaeological discoveries proved that there were purpose-built villages to house the workers and they were fed and treated well. The things you learn when you travel fill our little heads with tons of fun facts!

Every year, more than 8 million people visit Niagara Falls State Park. The Niagara Falls Association, which was created in 1883 and bought private land around the region to protect the natural environment, is responsible for preserving Niagara Falls' natural beauty.

Hungarian senior citizens and European Union citizens over the age of 65 can use Budapest public transportation for free. When inspectors ask for it, they must show a personal identification card or a document proving their age and citizenship. Buses, trolleybuses, trams, Metro, and above-ground suburban trains are all part of the service. The funicular, chairlifts, and boat rides are all not free.

Billions (rather than millions)... MILLIONS of Call of Duty multiplayer battles have already been played long before Modern Warfare 3, Black Ops 2, or even the impending Ghosts. In total, 1.4 billion matches have been played, which is far more than all known battles in human history combined.

The majority of iguanas lay eggs, however, the amount of eggs varies per species. The female rock iguana normally lays five to twenty eggs, whereas the female green iguana lays roughly 65 eggs. In a warm, sunny location, eggs are placed in a burrow.

These jelly-like, slimy animals are a sight to behold, pulsing through the ocean currents, and can be found in water both warm and cold, shallow and deep, and even along coastlines. The species comes in a variety of brilliant colours and is bioluminescent, which means it can generate its own light.

This well-known oil painting by Johannes Vermeer was completed in 1665. It shows a European girl in an exotic dress, an oriental turban, and what appears to be a large pearl earring. The beautiful girl in the painting is thought to be his eldest child Maria, who was also said to be his muse. She appears in other paintings by Johannes and bears an uncanny resemblance to the painting, though this theory has never been proven.

Travelers know the confusion when arriving in a country that’s in a different time zone. You tend to either gain or lose a few hours. Myanmar is a little different. Rather than adjusting their clock to correspond with the gain or loss of a whole hour, like most countries, they do it with 30-minute intervals. The official time zone is GMT +6.30. Very few countries in the world do it in this way making Myanmar somewhat unique.

Our Constitution is the longest in the world and contains 1.46 lakh words. It took two years, 11 months, and 18 days to draft it. 

In an interview with BBC's The Graham Norton Show, Samuel L. Jackson insisted on keeping the purple lightsaber that his character, Mace Windu, used in several epic fights in the Star Wars prequels. But what was the most stunning revelation? What Jackson said was etched on his lightsaber, which is not suited for youngsters under the age of ten. Anyone who has followed Jackson's career for a long time might probably guess it. As you may recall, Jackson featured in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction in 1994, as Jules Winnfield, an enlightened hitman whose wallet is embroidered with the same lines.

Noel Odell, an adventurer, was the first to uncover marine fossils on Mount Everest in 1924, proving that the Mount Everest area was formerly covered by an ocean. The summit's limestone and sandstone were discovered to be submerged sedimentary rocks produced roughly 450 million years ago. Geologists believe Everest has only been a mountain for around 60 million years, when the Indian Plate was subducted by the Eurasian Plate, generating the Himalayas. If that's the case, Mount Everest must be growing quicker than in the past, as it would only take around 2 million years for Everest to rise 8,848 meters at current rates of 4 mm/year.

Your spine protects and safeguards the spinal cord. As you may be aware, the base of the brain is linked to the spinal cord. They are collectively known as the central nervous system (CNS). Can you believe one of your body's most vital components weighs only 35 grams?

The first version of a vision aid, known as a "reading stone," was invented 1000 years ago. It appeared to be a small magnifying glass. However, the first wearable vision aid is thought to have been invented in the thirteenth century by Italian Salvino D'Armante. So we can thank Italy for both a cool accessory and delicious food.

Just like Venice, Bangkok is also a city built on dozens of canals and with buildings standing on stilts. Although most of these canals have now been paved in, the nickname has stuck. However, another, less-cheerful point of similarity is the sinking of Bangkok. Due to rising sea levels and extensive development, Bangkok is sinking at a rate of 2 - 2.5 cm per year. Parts of Bangkok could be submerged in a few decades, so you might want to prepone your vacation there.

 

They can tell the difference between warm-blooded and cold-blooded creatures and exclusively hunt the latter. In fact, in the natural, they would aggressively shun humans. As a result, they have never and will never kill a human. The sea lamprey's natural nature is to cling to things, such as the glass wall of its tank, the pebbles on the sea (or lake) floor, and so on. As a result, if one is put up to a human, it will most likely latch on like a leech. Its suction is quite forceful and can be extremely painful, putting intense pressure on the area of contact. While the bite is eventually unpleasant, no one has to be concerned unless they intentionally introduce the sea lamprey.

Tulsi leaf extract has been demonstrated to reduce blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetes patients.

It's no coincidence that the Queen in Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs bears an uncanny resemblance to Lady Macbeth. Walt Disney purposefully imitated Lady Macbeth's on-screen persona, and was even quoted as picturing the Evil Queen as "a mixture of Lady Macbeth and The Big Bad Wolf."

Each fairyfly weighs a minuscule amount due to its minuscule size. It is reasonable to assume that no fairyfly weighs more than 1 mg. Termites, which can grow to be about 10 times larger, only weigh 2.5 mg. Therefore, it is possible to estimate how little the fairyflies weigh.
