We are a group of enthusiastic bloggers who are trying to gain more experience. Our articles started out on focusing on STEM and politics topics (for those of you who have been reading since the beginning), but we have now expanded to other random topics, hence the name.
The daily fact for August 3, 2017 was "Winnie the Pooh is banned in China, it is censored by the government." This is actually because China believes that Winnie the Pooh looks too much like president Xi JinPing, according to BBC news.
I have to admit. Winnie the Pooh kind of looks like president Xi Jinping.
China is not the only place that has banned Winnie the Pooh. Polish officials have blocked a school from
using Winnie the Pooh as its mascot. One counselor stated: "The problem with that bear is it doesn't have
a complete wardrobe. It is half naked which is wholly inappropriate for children!"
Well, all in all, I guess a formerly friendly children's character has turned into a whole new riot.
Space & Science Informant May 2017 By: Daniel Domingos Hey guys! Daniel here. I'll be posting one of these every month. They contain new (or old) and exciting facts that are space and/or science - related. It can take a photon (light particle) 40,000 years to go from the sun's core to it's surface, then only 8 minutes to Earth. The core of a star reaches 16,000,000 degrees Celsius. A grain of sand this hot can kill you from 150 kilometers (93.2 miles) away. Venus rotates around the sun opposite to the direction of the rotation of the other planets. The Earth's rotation is decreasing at approximately 0.17 milliseconds per year. If it continues at this rate, in around 140,000,000 years, the length of a day will be 25 hours. Earth is the most dense planet in the solar system, with around 5.52 grams per cubic centimeter During the 1950s, the US considered exploding a nuclear bomb on the moon The exoplanet PSR-B1620-26b is the oldest planet in the univ...
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. A new background, new authors, and new content will hopefully make this blog more active again. Thanks for all the readers who have stuck by us even as we have been inactive for so long. We will post more often now. The title of this blog is also going to need a revamp... comment down below. ;) -RNG
Let's get started... with this week's number talk! Yep, that's right, today, we'll be talking all about numbers. Okay, get your thinking caps on, and we'll start. Numbers: 1 million (10 to the power of 6) 10 million (10 to the power of 7): This brings us to the number of steps it would take to walk around the earth, 40 million steps. Still pretty small and imaginable (wait until we get to Graham's number) 100 million (10 to the power of 8); Finally, we get to the number of books ever written in human history (130 million) and the average amount of words a human speaks in a lifetime (860 million). And... this is getting boring, but for more, visit this site . Now for a googol, which is 1 followed by 100 zeroes, which is also 10 to the power of 100. And some more: 10 to the power of 113 is the number of hydrogen atoms that would fit in the universe when packed tightly. 10 to the power of 122 is the number of protons you could fit...
this is short XD
