“Things can explode in space. Explosions in space are possible but it is not as visually impressive as you would imagine. What do explosions need? Oxygen. Does space have any? Nope. What do explosions do? Make a deafening sound. The tagline for the movie Alien is, “In space, no one can hear you scream.” You can’t hear in space because sound cannot exist in a vacuum. Space ships in Star Trek and Star Wars wouldn’t make any noise in space. Movies like Interstellar and Gravity and tv shows like Firefly portray silence in space during an explosion accurately.”

“You can see the Great Wall of China from the Moon. You can barely see anything from the moon. You can barely see the Great Wall from Earth’s orbit and the conditions have to be exact. There’s never a time where the Great Wall is the only landmark you can see from space.”

“The first animal in space was a dog. No, and it wasn’t a chimp either. It was a fruit fly. Fruit flies were sent into space in 1946 to test radioactive exposure to gauge if humans could survive space. Eleven years later, Laika the dog was sent into space.”

“The universe is round. Whatever shape you’re thinking of now makes way more sense than the answer. So what shape do you think universe is? Square? Cone? Trapezoid? Dodecahedron? No. The universe is shaped like a horse-saddle. Or to use the scientific term – the universe is hyperboloid shaped. Scientists say this shape is only possible if the universe’s expansion is increasing. So how is that possible? It’s a common fact that the universe’s rate of expansion is decreasing, right?”
