Einstein was naturally fascinated about creating, having spent seven years working in the Swiss Patent Office, and would acquire about 50 patents throughout his career. He loved fiddling with electronics and went on to invent a self-adjusting camera, a refrigerator that could last 100 years, and even a blouse.

Because the International Space Station (ISS) has Russian-language modules and operations, all astronauts who travel to the ISS must be fluent in the language. According to some astronauts, learning this new language was the most difficult aspect of their training. English-speaking astronauts can expect to spend 1,100 class hours to reach a reasonable level of fluency in Russian, according to the US State Department Foreign Service Institute. That's twice as long as it takes to learn other languages such as French, Spanish, or Dutch.

They begin by gathering citations for the word, documenting the source, and recording its contextual meaning. Then, lexicographers conduct database research, looking for evidence that people from various backgrounds used the word over time. Finally, dictionary editors look over the evidence and decide whether or not to include the new word in a future edition of the dictionary. As a result of this lengthy process, modern words like manspread, presstitute, and athleisure can now be found in several dictionaries.

According to the findings of one study published in the Journal of Personality, even the most pessimistic people can change for the better with a little bit of love in their lives. The scientists behind the study discovered that being in a relationship indirectly made neurotic partners more optimistic and self-confident, presumably due to all of the positive emotions and experiences associated with the relationship, after following 245 young couples for nine months.

Cashew trees (Anacardium Occidentale) are exotic evergreen trees with uneven trunks that may reach a height of 14 meters (46 feet). The cashew tree, which is native to Brazil and Southeast Asia but is now planted in many nations throughout the world, bears red blooms from which the fruit grows.

Because of the island's hidden coves and the absence of European powers for centuries, Madagascar was once a secure sanctuary for hundreds of pirates. Captain James Misson allegedly established an anarchist colony (Libertatia) there in the late 17th century, whereas Ile Sainte-Marie, four miles off Madagascar's east coast, was simply referred to on maps as "the island of pirates" at the time. When they weren't robbing treasure, countless brigands, including Captain Kidd, found refuge there. Some are buried in the cemetery on the island.

In a country that’s famous for its windmills, it’s no surprise there are over 1,000 windmills spread across the Netherlands. 

The windmills traditionally harnessed the wind for a variety of purposes, such as grinding grain and draining wetlands, but there are only a few still in commercial operation. 

The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Kinderdijk is the best place to see Dutch windmills, with 19 traditional windmills.

Since blood is how nails receive their important nutrients, blood flow is crucial for nail health and growth. When there is an injury preventing them from receiving adequate blood flow, your fingernails may actually momentarily cease growing.

These jelly-like, slimy animals are a sight to behold, pulsing through the ocean currents, and can be found in water both warm and cold, shallow and deep, and even along coastlines. The species comes in a variety of brilliant colours and is bioluminescent, which means it can generate its own light.

Honeycomb blinds are an excellent choice for people looking for energy-saving coverings for their homes. This is due to the pattern design and material that is designed to trap air. As a result, barriers are built to prevent maximum heat loss or gain.

The light is the world's most effective light source. The chemical reaction's energy is nearly entirely released as light.

Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker is seen in the 2002 Spider-Man film coming to the aid of his love interest Mary Jane after she sneaks into their school cafeteria. Her lunch flies through the air, but Peter (aka Spider-Man) swoops in, stops her fall, and catches all of her lunch items on her tray. The scene was not created with CGI, nor was it pieced together from multiple takes. On the DVD commentary, visual effects supervisor John Dykstra can be heard saying, "This next gag here, where he catches all this stuff, [Maguire] actually did that." That's pretty good. "Take156."

One of the lesser-known statistics is that Mexicans are the hardest working people on the planet, with the average resident working 2,148 hours each year, or 41.3 hours per week!

It's no coincidence that your male gynecologist always seems to have a doctor or nurse with them during examinations. Many male gynecologists accompany female medical professionals during exams to ensure the patient's comfort and to minimise misconceptions. "When evaluating a female patient, many male gynaecologists will bring a female observer with them. When a female patient is alone with her male doctor, she has the choice and right to request a female observer "One OB-GYN is revealed.

One in three carers, or around 30%, is 65 years of age or older. The majority of caregivers—2/3 of them women—are daughters of dementia patients. One further interesting aspect of Alzheimer's caregivers is that 25% of them are members of the "sandwich generation," and 66% of them share a home with a loved one who suffers from dementia. This implies that they look after their young children in addition to their elderly parents.

Approximately 2 million people were slaughtered during the Khmer Rouge's four-year reign. That equates to one-fifth of the population. Because of the atrocities that occurred between 1975 and 1979, up to 63% of Cambodia's population is under the age of thirty.

Formula One cars aren't only about speed and power. They are among the safest vehicles on the market. There have been many F1 collisions throughout the years, and most of them have not been fatal. The vehicles are also quite uncomfortable, and it requires a great deal of stamina to compete for hours without becoming tired. According to Wired, an F1 driver may survive an incident in which the car goes from 100 mph to a complete stop in 2 seconds. For a car to be qualified for Formula 1 racing, it must meet hundreds of safety criteria. The driver's cockpit should be safeguarded as well.

Consider speeding to 100 mph and returning to zero in less than four seconds. If you have a cardiac issue, you may not live. The sensation is similar to being pressed by an invisible force. In such a circumstance, breath control is critical, and F1 drivers must go through many drills to prepare for G-Force. Formula 1 vehicles are capable of such a feat because they must sharply stop while approaching curves and then accelerate swiftly, as it is a race against time. When the drivers are subjected to force, their stamina and overall physical condition are tested.

We say "cheese" because it makes us happy, but if Victorian-era people saw our delighted grins, they'd laugh. Smiling in pictures was once considered demeaning and reserved for the impoverished and inebriated. To maintain a more serious appearance in their photographs, they would utter "prunes," a word so uninteresting that the odds of it eliciting a grin were minimal to none.
