YTMND - Blue Ball Machine (Classic GIF Returned) 10 Strange Things About The Universe. Space The universe can be a very strange place.

While groundbreaking ideas such as quantum theory, relativity and even the Earth going around the Sun might be commonly accepted now, science still continues to show that the universe contains things you might find it difficult to believe, and even more difficult to get your head around. Theoretically, the lowest temperature that can be achieved is absolute zero, exactly ? 273.15°C, where the motion of all particles stops completely. However, you can never actually cool something to this temperature because, in quantum mechanics, every particle has a minimum energy, called “zero-point energy,” which you cannot get below.

Remarkably, this minimum energy doesn’t just apply to particles, but to any vacuum, whose energy is called “vacuum energy.” To show that this energy exists involves a rather simple experiment– take two metal plates in a vacuum, put them close together, and they will be attracted to each other.

To SmellyPoop.com Hi, A friend of mine just sent me the link to your website for fun.

I really enjoyed the ‘Survival Guide for Taking a Dump at Work'. However, I believe that there is an error among your explanation for the color of feces. The brown color is a result of broken down red blood cells, but I don't think that it's a result of iron. Most of the iron that is released from the breakdown of heme is reabsorbed by cells in the bone marrow for incorporation into new red blood cells.

That's why we don't have a large daily requirement for iron in our diets. So, you're absolutely correct to say that it's a complicated explanation and it has to do with the breakdown of red blood cells, but I don't think that iron has anything to do with the brown color of poop or the red color of blood. Unlike mammals, birds don't urinate. Yes, you can definitely get sick from eating poop, even in minute quantities! Corn poop is one of the greatest mysteries in life.
