Welcome to B Qurious — a curated space where curiosity meets discovery. Here, PSK Eduventures brings you fascinating, lesser-known facts that will expand your understanding of the world and ignite your natural curiosity.
🌍 Did You Know? — Nature & Earth
The Earth is not a perfect sphere — it's an oblate spheroid, meaning it's slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator. The equatorial diameter is about 43 km more than the polar diameter!
🧠 Brain Power Facts
The human brain generates about 20 watts of electricity — enough to power a dim light bulb. Despite being only 2% of body weight, it consumes about 20% of the body's total energy. Every thought, memory and emotion is an electrical impulse!
⚡ Physics Curiosities
If you removed all the empty space from atoms in the human body, all of humanity would fit into a sugar cube. Atoms are 99.9999% empty space — which means matter as we know it is almost entirely emptiness!
🌌 Space & Universe
A day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus. It takes Venus 243 Earth days to rotate once on its axis, but only 225 Earth days to complete one orbit around the Sun — making a Venusian day longer than its year!
🦋 Animal Kingdom
Mantis shrimp can punch faster than a bullet — their strike accelerates at 10,400 g-forces, reaching speeds of 23 meters per second. The strike is so powerful it creates cavitation bubbles that produce a flash of light!
🔢 Mathematics Mysteries
There are more possible iterations of a game of chess than there are atoms in the observable universe — estimated at 10^120 possible games versus approximately 10^80 atoms. This is known as the Shannon Number.
