Things I learned

  • Competitive cyclists shave their legs for aerodynamic reasons, which was discovered by engineer Marc Cote after he built a wind tunnel specifically for cyclists. Research showed that shaving could save 70 seconds over a 40-mile time trial.

  • It takes 55 times more energy to go to the Sun direction than it does to go to Mars.

  • Electrons in a copper wire do not travel at the speed of electricity. Not even close.
  • If you shuffle a deck of cards, it’s most probable that order of cards has never been shuffled in the whole of human history

  • Neutrinos, subatomic particles created in the sun, are so neutral and small and that a wall of lead a light-year thick has 50/50 chance of stopping one. About 100 trillion of them pass through your body every second
