The universe is so vast and mysterious, it's almost scary when you start really thinking about it. The sun, the planets, the stars, and everything else that exists in space can be tough to fathom when you've only got experience with Earth. Even satellite imagery can be overwhelming at times!
Thoughts of the universe have the ability to make us feel tinier than ants! But despite all of that, we really can't get enough of discovering what lies beyond our comfortable Earth lives. Whole careers have been made out of the discovery of space and everything residing within the universe.
If you're a total nerd for physics, science, and the world around us in general, you're going to love exploring this amazing list of 50 things you didn't know about the universe. Trust us when we say you're going to be absolutely stunned at fact number 45. It blew us away!
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
