Fun Fact: On average, men are about 5 inches taller than women, but not just because of diet or hormones. Genetics has a new suspect: the SHOX gene. Why are men generally taller than women? If you’ve ever shrugged and said “hormones,” you’re not alone—but it turns out the story goes deeper, right into our chromosomes. …
Fun Fact: Fireflies aren’t flies—they’re actually beetles that can create light without heat! In a world where artificial lights flood our cities and drown out the stars, there’s something almost magical about a forest flickering with fireflies.

Fun Fact: Albert Einstein once said, “I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.” As children, wonder comes naturally. A cardboard box becomes a spaceship. A bug on the windowsill becomes a friend. The stars in the night sky are portals to somewhere else. But something shifts as we grow older. Life becomes …
Fun Fact: If you could ride a beam of light, you’d never hit the “edge” of the universe—because it doesn’t have one. The idea that the universe has no centre might sound like a philosophical riddle or a Zen koan, but it’s a scientific reality. And it’s one that flips our human instincts upside down. …
Fun Fact: Your brain can generate over 50,000 thoughts a day—but no one really knows how those thoughts become you. Think about that. You’re reading this sentence right now. You’re aware of it.

Fun Fact: Your tailbone—yes, the little bump at the end of your spine—is all that remains of the tail you lost millions of years ago.
