9 Facts About Green Eyes

Brown, Blue, Hazel, Grey, Green. These are just a few of the eye color shades which we see humans or animals possessing. Sometimes, the color of your eye can be due to your genes or genetic reasons as well. The color green, however, has some rather interesting facts associated with it.

1. According to research, it is said that green eyes have existed from the Bronze Age Era, which means that they have been around for thousands of years. This color is most commonly found in Europeans. It is also said that Europeans with green eyes are usually considered to be of German or Celtic descent.
2. During primitive times, it was believed that people with green eyes were evil. Having green eyes and fiery red hair had also become grounds for declaring a woman to be a witch. This lethal combination had resulted in putting such women on to the death penalty.
3. Green eyes are found to be rather rare worldwide and so they are often considered to be quite mysterious. This eye color also associates itself with unique personality traits in people, such as intelligence, curiosity, and mischievousness.
4. Although rare generally, green eyes are especially rare amongst the African and Asian race. However, a village in Western China has many individuals with green eyes and blonde hair. This is believed to be due to the Roman army settlement during ancient times. DNA testings revealed that these people had Caucasian origins, thus they were found with this rare occurrence.
5. Scientifically speaking, in order for a person to have green eyes, they must have a yellow colored stroma. This yellow stroma appears green due to the Rayleigh scattering. This is studied to be a principle which makes the sky blue. So as per to basic color theory, blue and yellow, makes green.
6. One of the most commonly known attributes to eye colors is what we call, Melanin. There are two different types. There is a black melanin and a yellow melanin. Any eye without melanin will be blue, however green eyes are caused because of low levels of black melanin and high levels of the yellow one.
7. Green eyes do not appear immediately and are often said to take several months to appear. Babies who grow up to have green eyes are born with grey or blue eyes initially.  The changes in the eye color occur after 6 months of age and can actually continue to change during the course of several years.
8. According to medical science, people with light colored eyes such as blue, green or grey have a higher risk of eye cancer. Especially, Intraocular Melanoma.
9. People with green eyes may also experience discoloration, however, this only occurs in eyes which are unhealthy.

Although rare, green eyes are found to be rather catchy especially when enhanced with the help of makeup! Some of the world’s most popular celebrities have been blessed to be possessed with this beautiful color. For instance, Channing Tatum, Lindsay Lohan, Adele, Emma Stone, Angelina Jolie and several others.

10 Things Science Has Got Totally Wrong!

The world of science is constantly changing based on new discoveries, and sometimes means that what we thought was right was incorrect. Right from our childhood, we are taught or made aware of loads of scientific facts whether it be formally or informally. All those facts, things are believed to be true and the people doesn’t question them, the idea is reinforced by the common sharing of the people.

As time progresses, the science and technology progresses, the scientists use new methods to validate those facts, find if they are true. In this list, we’ll take a look at things, the so called“facts” that we always believed to be true. What science says about them and what they really are.

So Here are 10 things that science has got wrong.

1. Bulls Get Angry After Seeing Red

You know it was a common belief that bulls get angry whenever they see anything red. This has been the belief for centuries, all thanks to the matador and other studies, Science had us believing that bulls got angry when they saw red, and this belief became very popular on the television and other mainstream media. However, as animal biology advanced and progressed, we came to know about the fact that bulls are actually colorblind. So, why do they get angry after seeing a waving red cloth? Actually it’s the movement of the red cape which agitates them.

2. Hair And Nails Keep Growing After Death

For many generations, people believed that even after death the hair and fingernails of a human body continue to grow long. It was believed that the follicles keep creating new cells. But it’s totally wrong, once a human body dies, the process of decomposition of the cells begin. Due to dehydration of the skin on a corpse, the nails and hair are pulled back which gives the appearance that the hair and nails look are growing.

3. Lightning Doesn’t Strike The Same Place Twice!

All thanks to meteorologists and the weatherman on the news, we mistakenly believed that lightning never strike the same place twice. But when the scientists studied the weather phenomenons in-depth, they realized that lightning can strike the same spot twice, even several times. This is because the lightning aims to find the fastest path to the ground, so naturally tall buildings, trees, and similar structures are at the greater risk of getting struck by the lightning. It’s inevitable.

4. You Must Drink 8 Glasses Of Water A Day

You might have heard Doctors, fitness trainers and even scientists telling the public to drink enough water, we have been told to drink 8 glasses of water in a day. It’s a good habit to drink more water, but it’s an overly generalized rule. Our bodies get the required water from food content, from beverages we drink like tea, fruit juice. Also human bodies are different, therefore everyone has different requirements. While one person may need only a few glasses, the other who works out for hours may need many glasses. Your water need depends on the activities you’re performing, your environment, it’s temperature and many other variables.

5. Pruning Of Fingers From Water

When we swim in the poll or spend a long time in the shower, we have seen our fingers and toes begin to prune. Early it was believed that this wrinkling helps in maintaining the grip on our fingers and toes, if we need to k happened so that we can still maintain the grip on our fingers and toes in wet areas or if we needed to climb out. But a recent study showed that the swelling is because the human body narrows the blood vessels by contracting their muscle walls, this results in the wrinkled appearance.

6. Accidentally Swallowing A Gum

You might remember hearing in the school that if you accidentally swallow a gum, it will take 7 years to digest it. A gum sitting in our stomach for 7 years is scary. But it’s not true. This is a true fact that our body cannot digest a gum. Since gum being indigestible as insoluble fiber, it passes through our digestive system and it comes out when you poop.

7. Having Only Five Senses

We all grew up believing that we only have five senses; touch, smell, hearing, seeing, and tasting. It was all based on science that humans have five senses. But modern research of science has been able to break down the five basic categories and there are more senses. Scientists have determined that we have up to 20 senses including temperature, pressure, balance and a lot more.

8. Drinking Alcohol Warms You Up!

Alcohol consumption is never healthy. What despite what your parents and friends have told you, the good news for the drinkers is that drinking alcohol doesn’t kill your brain cells. But the bad news is that alcohol still damages your body, although it’s not by killing your cells. There’s a belief that alcohol makes you feel warmer if you’re out in the cold. But it’s not true, actually drinking booze expands your blood vessels, and this brings a higher quantity of warm blood to near-surface cold skin skin. But by doing this, you’re countering your body’s natural heating protocol. And this ultimately lowers the temperature of your body by the heat transfer.

9. Goldfish Only Has A Memory Of 5 Seconds

Your pet goldfish has a much better memory than you think. Earlier science said that a goldfish’s memory doesn’t last more than a few seconds. But according to a latest research According to research at Plymouth University, goldfish have a memory span of up to three months. And goldfish can even tell the time. They are more smart than you think.

10. The Great Wall Of China Is Visible From Moon

9 Fun Facts About The Moon

Here on planet earth, the moon is something of a superstar. After all, some planets have more than one moon, like Jupiter, which has at least 16 moons! Imagine looking up into the night sky and seeing four or five moons. It would be an extraordinary sight here on earth, but on other planets, it’s probably just another normal night. Our moon certainly gets its share of attention considering that songs have been written about it, it’s been used in countless movie and book titles, and some people even believe there are magical powers associated with it. There may be no real way to prove whether the moon has anything to do with magical powers, but here are 9 facts we can be reasonably certain about.

1. Moonwalkers

A total of 12 human beings have walked on the moon, the most famous being Neil Armstrong who took that “giant leap for mankind” way back in 1969. Whether or not anyone else will ever step foot on the lunar surface again is uncertain, but there are countries that are reportedly working on space missions to the moon again.

2. Unfriendly atmosphere

Other than the fact that there is no oxygen on the moon for us to breathe, the moon is rather inhospitable in other ways as well. The temperature swings are pretty extreme compared to what we are accustomed to. The temperature on the moon can get as hot as 260 degrees Fahrenheit and as cold as -280 degrees Fahrenheit

3. Always on time

Like most things floating up there in space, the moon is pretty punctual. Most people know that it takes a month to complete an orbit around the earth, but that’s playing a bit loose with the numbers. It actually takes the moon 27 days to complete one full orbit of the earth.

4. A moon by any other name…

Obviously, a full moon is what gets the most attention from observers here on earth. So much so that each full moon of the year has its own name. There’s the Strawberry Moon in June, the Thunder Moon in July, the Sturgeon Moon in August, and the Harvest Moon in September, to name just a few.

5. Sorry, no water here

It can be a bit confusing to hear someone make reference to a place on the moon called “The Sea of Tranquility,” since almost everyone knows there is no water on the moon. There is ice on the moon that may have been left there by comets that passed by, but no liquid water. The “sea” name first came about when Galileo studied the moon with the first telescope, and certain areas looked like bodies of water to him. Although they are sometimes inaccurate, names have a way of sticking around.

6. No floating

Sometimes people believe that you can simply float around or fly as you please on the moon. It doesn’t have quite the gravitational pull that the much-larger earth does, but it still has enough to keep things well-grounded. Due to this size difference, things on the moon will weigh about one-sixth of what they weigh here on planet earth.

7. Not perfect

Although the moon may look like a perfect circle when gazing up at a full moon, it really isn’t a perfect sphere at all. The moon is actually somewhat egg-shaped, but since it is the rounded end we see here on earth, it certainly appears to be perfectly symmetrical

8. One size fits all

People often notice that the moon looks much larger when it is first coming up, but the only reason for that is an optical illusion. The moon is always the same size, and it’s just our eyes playing tricks on us that make it look larger when it is close to the horizon.

 9. Weather report


Despite a name that brings space-related things to mind, there would be no work for meteorologists on the moon because there is no weather. Without an atmosphere, the moon is pretty much the same all of the time. There are no clouds, rain, snow or storms on the moon.

BONUS FACT – Heat will destroy your battery.
There is no denying the fact that heating will damage your battery. Lithium-ion batteries heat up as you charge them.
