True, but hard to believe.

[All uphill]

Two things that are true, but I found hard to believe:

Sailing ships can travel faster in some directions than the wind that powers them.

The world often sounds quieter to deaf people, like me, with hearing aids than without.

What true things do you find hard to believe?

 

[SpokeyDokey]

That humans can be so cruel to animals - been watching some big cat rescue clips on YT this week.

There are some heartless, callous people in this world.

That Chris Rea has a time machine, and is responsible for many incidents from past history, that's not true .
But it is truth that he has a time machine.
Sort the wheat from the chaff ,but going to the True facts about Chris Rea.

 

[twentysix by twentyfive]

It's true that I'm a genius but it isn't hard to believe. So maybe I should start a new thread - "True and easy to believe"

 

[sevenfourate]

That I can go to Tesco and buy eggs in a plastic carton, a gammon joint: shrink-wrapped in plastic, 2litres of coke in a plastic bottle, some plastic cups and some Xmas decorations made of plastic. But get told I can no longer buy a 10p carrier bag because it’s ’made of plastic’ 🤷‍♂️

 

[Windle]

That I can sling my leg over a contraption made of tubes and things, and just by turning my legs in a gentle circular motion can travel much greater distances at a much higher speed than by walking.

 

[Drago]

Katie Hopkins really does exist.

The universe is big.

There are 100 billion stars in our galaxy, and 100 billion other similar galaxies in the universe.

Here's 10,000 galaxies, taken by Hubble space telescope. So about 1000 million million stars. That's 30 stars for every cell in your body. And it's one hundred millionth of the universe

 

[Moon bunny]

Solid matter is mostly empty space.

 

[slow horse]

Solid matter is mostly empty space.

That one definitely does my (mostly empty) head in.

 

[markemark]

Most quantum physics seems completely counter intuitive.

 

[Drago]

Brian Cox did not invent Cox's apples.

I feel a song coming on ,.... The Galaxy song from Monty Python's 'Meaning of Life !'

 

[DRM]

I Can’t believe it’s not butter

 

[grldtnr]

Brian Cox did not invent Cox's apples.

But he did diss the Galaxy song theory, only to be 'blatted by Stephen Hawkings.
