GOLD IS RARE All the gold ever mined would fit into about 3 and a half Olympic sized swimming pools.
BUT NOT THE RAREST Osmium on the other hand, is one of the rarest of metals. Less than one cubic meter has been extracted. That’s about the size of this chair
DIAMONDS AND PENCILS ARE EQUAL Diamonds and graphite are both pure carbon. The only difference is how the atoms are arranged.
RADIOACTIVE FRUIT They contain potassium-40, a naturally occurring radioactive isotope. However, you would have to eat 50 million bananas at once for a lethal dose of this radiation. Not possible!
OXYGENBLUES Although we can’t see Oxygen as a gas, it’s color is pale blue.
KING SIZED NUMBERS About 10^80 atoms make up the universe. There are about 10^120 possible move in a chess game.
A COLD RECEPTION Although we cannot cool anything to absolute zero, it would be like reaching light speed, we can get awfully close.
OLDER THAN DIRT The Hydrogen atoms in our body and all around us were created shortly after the Big Bang, some 13.7 billion years ago. Does that make us older than dirt?
