The Comp of General Ignorance 2

Fact 1: FALSE! We have 5 senses. The other 'senses' we have are simply things we are aware of due to a combination of the 5 senses (or more specifically, a combination of the many sensory organs). Source: http://www.scientificpsychic.com/workbook/chapter2.htm

Fact 2: TRUE! The three basic states, solid, gas and liquid, are just that - the basic states. The other states are complexities that come from these states - for example a Plasma is a super-heated ionized gas. Each of the more complex states have unique properties which make them states on their own, but most (if not all) of these will fall in general under the 3 basic structures of gas, solid or liquid.

Fact 3: FALSE! While it is true that both the Moon and Earth revolve around the barycenter, this does not mean that the Earth is revolving around the moon. The Moon has no effect on the Earth's rotation, however the Earth has a profound effect on the Moon's rotation. As such, the Moon revolves around the Earth, but not the other way around.

Fact 4: FALSE! A 'Moon' is defined as a 'Natural satellite', which means an object that naturally orbits around another object. Many candidates have been set forward for Earth's second Moon, but all have been proven false as they do not periodically orbit the planet. Too many sources to link in this one, but the Wiki has some good citations to check out for fact checking (I did use the citations). Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Other_moons_of_Earth

Fact 5: IRRELEVANT! As shown by Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, speed is relative! When through a diamond, light is moving slowly relative to you, who is at 0. But, relative to something travelling in the opposite direction as the light it is much faster! Explained well here: http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=291445

We humans, have spelling abilities right?

Wong.

Heat and pain both fall within the category of our sense of touch. All those "states of matter" you listed are sub-states which all fall under one of the three main states of matter. It's like saying "if a shape has four angles which are all 90 degrees, it must be a rectangle right? Wrong! It could also be a square!" When a square is a type of rectangle. Stop trying to look smart.

all those facts are from this book.

Interesting

go to school - don't learn anything
go on funnyjunk - LEARNING!!!

All these facts have been said on QI (Quite Interesting). Seen them on TV and read them in the QI book.

You forgot the 10th one, Inception.

Actually, All of those states of matter are contained within the 4 solid, gas, liquid, and plasma. those are just classifications inside those ones.

*fixed

Now to memorise it all...

Purcahse this book for more and more and more

Better to keep your mouth closed and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.......

Only on FunnyJunk, where we learn more than our public schools.

I think we're going places guys.

My brother didn't believe this because it was on funnyjunk.
