Anyone can repeat the infinite chocolate trick by themselves. And they will end up having an extra piece of chocolate after a simple re-arranging of the entire chocolate bar.

The process of the creation of life is like a miracle. 2 tiny cells grow day after day and become a new separate organism. A human pregnancy lasts for 40 weeks. During this time, a tiny zygote grows many times bigger and becomes a new person.

Opera is a genre that can be described as fusion of music and theater.

A maze is a structure made up of one or more winding paths leading from an entrance to a goal. Since old times, mazes have been carrying a sense of mystery. One of the most famous mazes was the one where the Minotaur lived, and it plays an important role in ancient Greek mythology. In the modern world, such mazes are objects of entertainment. Parks and gardens feature intricate hedge mazes, and there there are also mirror and snow labyrinths.

We often come across circles in our everyday lives, even though we may not always notice them. For example, if you know the diameter of a tire, you can find out the distance it covers within one turn. Or if you know the radius of a pool, you can calculate the area it will cover in your garden.

Earth is the third planet from the sun and the only one, as far as science knows, that has life on it. Since ancient times, our ideas of how the Earth formed and developed have continued to change, but when radiometric dating appeared in 1905, it became possible to establish the approximate age of our planet.

The seasons are recognized in different ways. In astronomy, they are determined by the solstices and equinoxes, while in meteorology, they are calculated by temperature. It’s meteorological calculations along with the division of the year into 4 seasons (the warmest, coldest, and 2 intermediate ones) that are the basis of the Gregorian calendar. This reckoning is commonly used in temperate and subpolar regions.

Distances to stars are usually measured in light-years, and these values are so huge that all night stars seem the same to most people. However, the stars are as diverse as the rest of the things in our universe.

Just 10 years ago, the world’s population reached 7 billion people. So when we think about how many people there are in the world, we often keep this exact number in mind. However, many things have changed over the last decade, and we keep moving on to new achievements.

There’s a lot of confusion in the order of actions in math problems. The situation gets even more complicated when there are parentheses that change the order of operations.

Many people believe that it is the maternal instinct that tells the mother how to treat the child, and even forms the feeling of a “biological clock,” due to which women develop the desire to have children at a certain age. Conversely, scientists have started to doubt the presence of maternal instincts and focus on the claims that fathers and even foster parents can show more love and affection to kids than their actual mother.

Reducing waste is one of the best things you can do to help the environment. You can do it at home, on the go, in your workplace, or at school. 5-Minute Crafts wants to show you a list of 8 eco-friendly things you can start doing today.
