Why Pencils, Salt, and Bread Are Prohibited in Space



There're many things banned in space: like salt and bread, because crums can damage the equipment. When it comes to beverages, carbonated drinks are off the table as well because they're buoyant in a weightless environment. But pencils are also prohibited to use in space. Why? The answer will surely surprise you… Here're the coolest facts about space to share with your friends. You'll learn why the Moon is not entirely white and devoid of color. And why astronauts need to exercise that much while in space. #brightside TIMESTAMPS

What If People Lived In Space For Millions Of Years?



Have you ever dreamed of traveling to space? But what if people lived on spaceships for millions of years? You'd travel on a spaceship with an autopilot that wouldn't go off course no matter what. But the downside of this trip would be that because of all that time spent on space-transports, we'd look different, totally different… Let's take a look at how our bodies would change and how living in space would affect us… It turns out, gravity plays an important role in this whole process. A big problem is that people would lose their sense of balance. If you tried to stand up, you’d just fall… #brightside TIMESTAMPS
Distant future 00:00
Live-able planet 00:42
Autopilot 01:10
We'll look different 01:30
Sense of balance 02:36
Blow-up toys 03:10
Problems with eyesight 03:40
Greenhouses 04:32
Breathing 04:50
Taste 05:50
Humans look different 06:40
Myth about life on Earth 07:30
Research the origins 08:40 SUMMARY
– Scientists have figured out that in 150 years the sun will explode and destroy our entire solar system;
– Humankind is evacuated onto gargantuan space-ships and the infinitely long voyage begins;
– Even if everyone on board were to disappear, the ship would still arrive at its destination;
– There’s no gravity, so your body’s not under any sort of pressure to keep it running properly;
– Unfortunately, no matter how hard people exercise, in space, it just won't be enough;
– After the first hundred years, human bones have become so brittle that anything remotely physical can lead to injury;
– Inside the ships, the sun is replaced by special artificial light that also gives off Vitamin D;
– On the ship, millions of plants grow in special greenhouses, with water and ultraviolet light;
– Lungs have disappeared almost completely, and humans are starting to develop other ways of getting oxygen, from water, from liquid oxygen tanks, we’re becoming a totally new species;
– In the beginning, the special space food had loads of flavor, but over time, people sort of forgot what things were supposed to taste like;
– Humans look really different now. All their limbs are now artificial, and the exoskeletons they wear are controlled by mind power;
– Nowadays a human is a powerful, high-tech robot, ruled over by a small pulsating bag, filled with a brain. —————————————————————————————-

You Swallowed a Massive Hornet, What’s Next



If you see a hornet you probably wanna escape ASAP. But what if you accidentally swallow one and it ends up in your stomach? Hornets are up to 2.2 inches – which is not easy to swallow but it's still possible. Let's imagine a massive hornet ends up inside your body – what's next? Is it gonna defend itself or sit there calmly, scared of unfamiliar environment? In this video you're gonna learn a lot of cool facts about hornets, bees and wasps. For example, one one these species have specific muscles they are able to contract multiple times from just one nerve impulse. Is it a bee, a wasp or a hornet? Any guesses? Let's find out… #brightside TIMESTAMPS
You swallowed smth 00:00
Hornets 00:20
Hornet in your mouth 01:30
Staying alive 02:20
When it's cold 02:50
Hives 03:00
Nest locations 03:47
Bees 04:12
Bees aggression 05:15
Queen bees 06:11
B-Lines 06:45
Bee dance 07:25
Bumblebees 08:30 SUMMARY
– Hornets are up to 2.2 inches [in (5.5 cm)] long – not easy to swallow, but still possible;
– Hornets have two wings, antennae, six legs, and big, dark eyes;
– A hornet sting gives out less venom than a bee sting, but you'll feel it more when a hornet stings you because its venom contains more of a chemical acetylcholine;
– If a hornet stings you in your throat or mouth, the impact spot and the surrounding area will probably swell up;
– New young queens are the only hornets in the hive that survive – together with their eggs. They protect the eggs in relatively safe areas such as inside human dwellings or under tree bark;
– Bees are distant cousins of wasps and hornets;
– Bees are not predators; they're vegetarians that mostly feed on flowers;
– The queen can live up to five years, and, at the peak of its strength, it can lay up to 2,000 eggs per day;
– Bees are also pretty good dancers. This is the way they communicate with each other;
– Bees buzz when they fly because they don't flap their wings directly;
– A bee beats its wings at approximately 200 Hz or 200 times per second. Animation is created by Bright Side.
