Zachary Gutierrez+FollowEinstein’s Biggest Brain Teaser Still UnsolvedDid you know Einstein spent his later years obsessed with a problem that still stumps physicists? He tried (and failed) to unite gravity with quantum mechanics into a single “theory of everything.” Decades later, we’ve nailed down three of the four fundamental forces, but gravity is still the odd one out. Even with wild discoveries like gravitational waves, the ultimate answer is still MIA. Imagine being so smart, but your biggest puzzle outlives you! #Einstein #PhysicsMystery #TheoryOfEverything #ScienceFacts #Science170Share
Tamara Jones+FollowBedbugs: The Unwanted Roommates We MadeEver wonder why bedbugs are everywhere now? Turns out, we basically invited them in! Scientists found that when humans started building cities, bedbugs hitched a ride and spread like crazy. Now, climate change is making it even easier for them to thrive. They don’t spread diseases, but they can mess with your sleep and sanity. Pro tip: regular cleaning and high-heat laundry are your best defense. Who knew our love for city life would come with such itchy baggage? #bedbugs #sciencefacts #urbanlife #Science10Share
James Brady+FollowUniverse’s End: Sooner Than We Thought?!Scientists just crunched the numbers and, plot twist: the universe might end way sooner than we thought (but still, like, in 10^78 years—so don’t panic). Turns out, not just black holes but also super-dense stars like white dwarfs and neutron stars will slowly lose energy and vanish thanks to a weird quantum effect. Basically, everything’s fading away, just a bit faster than old predictions. Wild to think the universe has a real expiration date, right? #SpaceNews #ScienceFacts #CosmicCountdown #Science12144Share
megangibson+FollowDino Skin Was Way Cooler Than We ThoughtForget those boring, gray dino models—turns out, dinosaur skin was wild! Fossilized skin impressions show dinos rocked everything from pebbly scales to feathers, with crazy patterns and even color. Some hadrosaur 'mummies' have skin so well-preserved you can see the wrinkles and scale mosaics. And T. rex? Its skin was more bird-like than lizard. New tech even lets scientists spot dino colors—think stripes, countershading, and iridescent feathers. Basically, dinosaurs were way more stylish (and complicated) than we ever imagined! #Dinosaurs #FossilFriday #ScienceFacts #Science70Share
Samantha Johnson+FollowHumans Are Still Evolving?!Did you know we’re still evolving? Scientists say modern humans (Homo sapiens) have been around for at least 300,000 years, but our story started way earlier. We’ve mixed with Neanderthals and Denisovans, and some people in Nepal have even evolved to thrive in super low-oxygen environments! Plus, our culture might be speeding up evolution—think of learned behaviors as survival hacks. Wild, right? Human evolution is way more recent (and ongoing) than you might think! #HumanEvolution #ScienceFacts #DidYouKnow #Science22Share
James Brady+FollowIs Carbon the Real Climate Villain?Everyone blames carbon dioxide for climate change, but did you know methane is 25x more powerful at trapping heat? And that aerosols can actually cool the planet (but also mess with our lungs)? Plus, things like deforestation, ocean currents, and even clouds are all major players. The wildest part: as we clean up air pollution, hidden warming could sneak up on us. Bottom line—climate change is way more complicated than just CO2! #ClimateChange #GreenhouseGases #ScienceFacts #Science40Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowLight Speed: The Universe’s Ultimate HackEver wondered why nothing can go faster than light? Turns out, the speed of light isn’t just a number—it’s the universe’s speed limit, shaping everything from time travel dreams to how we measure space itself. Einstein made it law, but scientists still try to break it (hello, warp drives and wild neutrino rumors). Even the universe itself cheats a bit—space can expand faster than light! Will we ever crack the code? Physics says no… for now. 🚀✨ #ScienceFacts #LightSpeed #Einstein #Science202Share
megangibson+FollowDino Diets: The Real Last SuppersTurns out, we’ve been totally guessing what dinos ate—until now. Scientists have found fossilized dino stomachs (yep, actual last meals!) and it’s changing everything. Some plant-eaters were super picky, some “herbivores” snacked on meat, and there’s even proof of dino cannibalism. Plus, new tech is letting us peek inside these ancient guts without breaking them open. It’s like CSI: Jurassic Park, and it’s wild! #Dinosaurs #FossilFriday #ScienceFacts #Science00Share
Aaron Rodriguez+FollowA 50-Year-Old Injection NightmareImagine getting a shot as a kid and, nearly 50 years later, it triggers a deadly brain disease. That’s what happened to a woman in the US—her childhood hormone treatment hid a prion, a rogue protein that can silently lurk for decades before rapidly destroying the brain. Prions are wild: they’re nearly indestructible, don’t have DNA, and can turn your brain into a sponge. Thankfully, these cases are super rare, but this story is a chilling reminder of how medical history can come back to haunt us. #MedicalMystery #PrionDisease #ScienceFacts #Health9816Share
Daniel Barajas+FollowPenguin Poop: Climate’s Unexpected Hero?Turns out, penguin poop isn’t just gross—it might actually help cool the planet! Scientists found that ammonia from penguin guano mixes with ocean chemicals to create clouds over Antarctica. These clouds can reflect sunlight and help keep Earth cooler. One colony’s poop spiked ammonia levels 1,000 times higher than normal, and fog rolled in just hours later. Who knew penguins were secretly fighting climate change with every bathroom break? Nature is wild! #ClimateChange #Penguins #ScienceFacts #Pets80Share
