Our 1/2 - year Anniversary!

By -
As our half year anniversary comes near (in about 2 weeks), we will be working to improve this website. This includes:

  • more interesting content, less ads
  • better website formatting
  • more posts being published
  • daily fact actually being updated (yeah, sorry about that... :) )
  • using original content, and if we use part of another article, we will include a citation
  • more features
We expect that these updates will be finished somewhere around November 5th. The website may or may not be available during part of these four weeks. Keep tuned for updates on how our website will improve as it undergoes its anniversary!

Happy 1/2 Birthday, STEMandPolitics!

It's been such a long time since we've posted, I know. Many of our authors have no longer been available, and because of this, added to the fact that we want to continue to bring you amazing content, something's going to change here.

Heroin is a very expensive drug priced at around $200/gram. Diamond, though, is nearly $50,000/gram for pure diamond. Still though, 1 kilo gram of pure diamond would still not even compare to the world's most expensive object.        The world's most expensive object is... ANTIMATTER!!! Now, you may be wondering, what the heck is this guy talking about? What's antimatter ? The enemy of matter ? Well, that's actually partially correct.        So basically, antimatter and matter are the exact opposite, because the sub-atomic particles will react. If antimatter has contact with any matter, it will instantly annihilate itself, releasing 100% pure energy. Compare that to the world's strongest nuclear weapons right now, only releasing 8-10% pure energy. If one gram of ant...

This is kind of a spin - off of what if? the book, and if you want us to answer any of your questions, post them in the comments below. Now, without further ado, question number 1 is: What would happen if there were firemen bungee jumping off of the side of a burning building? Short answer: They would all die a horrific death. Most ways you imagine this scene, the firemen are obliterated in flames, or through a collision with the ground, or simultaneously! Now this happy thought brings us to the long answer. Long Answer: Because the firemen would jump once off the side of a flaming building, and gradually swing back towards it, and would get annihilated in a burning mess. If the building was particularly unstable, it might collapse and send the jumpers to the ground, with the smoldering wreckage crashing do...
