People call it the God particle since Leon Lederman coined the term in his book of the same name. Marketing brilliance, but completely incorrect. (Aren't they all small particles of God?) In the opening chapter of their book, Lederman and his co-author Dick Teresi explain that "the publisher wouldn't allow us to name it the Goddamn Particle, though it may be a more appropriate title, considering its evil character and the expense it is creating."

Termites can communicate and navigate their environment thanks to organs at the bases of their antennae and tibiae that can detect vibrations. Soldier termites will bang their heads against the tunnel walls when there is a potential threat, vibrating the colony as a warning. Some termite species even use the vibroacoustic signals given off by wood to decide which food source to invade next, in addition to using them for communication.

This custom of worshipping the Lord Sun (as in Chhath Puja), the sustainer of life on Earth, was also common in ancient Egyptian and Babylonian civilizations, indicating that it is not unique to India.

Sound waves travel through the air by compressing and rarefying it.

Most people have heard of and are familiar with the Venus flytrap. However, few people are aware that Venus flytraps may produce flowers. Venus flytrap traps are not flowers; they have merely modified leaves that adapt to catch bugs. Venus flytraps develop multiple bloom stalks in the spring. Flower stems develop into flower bunches. The blooms are white with green veins that run across the petals. The blooms are unimpressive. Growers of Venus flytraps may still fertilise them and harvest their seeds.

The small particles in our surroundings are continually being inhaled by us. Each person's asthma and airways respond to triggers differently.

The Inuit do, nonetheless, employ a slightly different version of this gesture to greet their significant others, children, and parents. In fact, however, they do not rub their noses together in order to kiss. The Inuit are genuinely smelling each other's cheeks and hair, as opposed to what you have likely experienced while participating in a so-called Eskimo kiss. This behaviour is called kunik.

In 2013, when a 4,000-pound Blockbuster bomb was found in Dortmund, western Germany, more than 20,000 people were forced to flee their homes. It could destroy an entire city block if it exploded. Since the end of World War II, Germany has enjoyed peace, yet their bomb squad is one of the busiest in the world.

This is why people who suffer from anxiety often appear like they’re distracted, not listening, or just don’t care.
