Deepest Lake In The World ?
Lake Baikal (Baikal) in Siberia,
Russia is the deepest lake in the
world measuring 1620m deep at
its deepest point. This makes it
not only deep but also the oldest
lake in the world estimated to
be around 25 million years old.
Where Did The Word Robot
Come From ?
This is a question we get asked
a lot so we thought we’d put
people out of their misery.
Firstly the word robot comes
from the Czech word‘robotnik‘
which means forced labour or
even slave. Watching movies
and reading various sci-fi novels
of the past you’ll quickly see
that robots have mostly always
been portrayed as servents of
humanity.
What’s The Fastest Possible
Speed ?
Well imagine going 500,000
times faster than a concorde
and you have a speed nearing
299,792,458 meters per second.
This is the speed of light as it
travels through a vaccum which
it’s so fast that if you were able
to move at this speed you could
go around the earth 7 times in
just 1 second, now that’s fast!
The Difference Between
Insects And Spiders ?
Despite the visual similarities
between the two both are
actually members of distinct
families. Spiders are members of
the Arachnid family whilst
insects belong to the Insect
family. So what makes the two
families different ?
How Heavy Is The Earth ?
Now despite science coming
forward in leaps and bounds the
simple question of how much
the Earth weighs isn’t as
straightforward as you might
think. Certainly placing the earth
onto a massive set ofweighing
scales isn’t an option. So how do
we measure the total weight of
the earth ?
What’s A Google ?
When you hear the word Google
the first image that comes to
mind has to be the famous
internet search engine but does
the word actually mean
anything ? Wellthe answer is a
firm yes because it comes from
the term“Googol” which
represents a number (written as
a 1 followed by 100 zeros).
Which Is The Highest
Waterfall In The World ?
The highest waterfall in the
world is the Angel Falls in
Venezuela. At a towering height
of 979m did you know that
each drop of water takes 14
seconds to fall from the top to
the bottom. The waterfall which
despite being known to the local
indians for thousands of years
was originally called the“Churun
Meru”.
Most Dangerous Animal In
Africa ?
Apart from snakes and insects
the hippopotamus kills more
people in Africa than any other!
It’s a statistic which many find
shocking especially because
they’re not actually meat eaters.
So what makes the hippo so
dangerous ? Well to begin with
they’re large, extremely bad
tempered and surprisingly quick
on both land and water.
