Things Worth Noting
Jumping from a plane and landing safely on a trampoline sounds exciting, but physics shows it’s nearly impossible. In free fall from typical skydiving heights, you reach terminal velocity around 120 mph due to gravity and air resistance, building massive kinetic energy. Hitting a trampoline at that speed creates extreme impact forces and g-forces far […]
The idea that you can punch your way out of a coffin is a popular survival myth, but science shows it’s almost impossible. At six feet underground, soil pressure from thousands of pounds of dirt locks the coffin lid in place, and breaking it would cause instant soil collapse, crushing the chest and blocking airflow. […]
The belief that drinking eight glasses of water a day is necessary for hydration is a myth. Water needs vary among individuals, and thirst is a reliable indicator of when to drink. Other beverages and water-rich foods also contribute to hydration. Overhydration can be dangerous. Understanding individual needs and adopting a nuanced approach to hydration […]
