Facebook, The ultimate giant

                                              Facebook, The ultimate giant.

Do you know Facebook has:- 


 #100 billion hits per day   
 #500 million active users
 #100 billion hits per day
 #50 billion photos

Facebook is considered more addictive than cigarette and alcohol.





 
Almost all big US Internet companies such as Facebook, Google, and Yahoo allow the CIA to access user data via a specially designed interface. Facebook is the most appalling spying machine that has ever been invented.


 More than 2.5 million websites have integrated with Facebook, including over 80 of comScore’s U.S. Top 100 websites and over half of comScore’s Global Top 100 websites







Since social plugins launched in April 2010, an average of 10,000 new websites integrate with Facebook every day




Facebook was almost shut down by a lawsuit by ConnectU who claimed that Zuckerburg stole the idea and Technology for Facebook (the issue was settled out of court)


People spend over 700 billion minutes per month on Facebook






The USA has the largest Facebook user base with 155 million people which represents 23.6% of Facebook’s total users

Facts about space that you have never heard before

1. Mercury is almost the densest planet in the solar system and is second only to Earth
2. The largest known crater on Mercury, the Caloris Basin, has a diameter of 1,550 km
3. As of 2012 Mariner 10 and MESSENGER are the only two spacecraft to have visited Mercury
4. It is estimated Mercury’s core makes up 42% of its volume, for comparison Earth’s core makes up 17%
5. Mercury has the highest orbital eccentricity of all the planets with its distance from the Sun ranging from 46 to 70 million km
6. While Mercury has at atmosphere it is constantly being stripped and replenished
7. Mercury is named after the Roman messenger to the gods
8. The Milky Way galaxy is whirling rapidly, spinning our sun and all its other stars at around 100 million km per hour.
9. 14. The Sun travels around the galaxy once every 200 million years – a journey of 100,000 light years.
10. 15. There may be a huge black hole in the very middle of the most of the galaxies.
11. 16. The Universe is probably about 15 billion years old, but the estimations vary.
12. 17. One problem with working out the age of the Universe is that there are stars in our galaxy which are thought to be 14 to 18 billion years old – older than the estimated age of the Universe. So, either the stars must be younger, or the Universe older.
13. 18. The very furthest galaxies are spreading away from us at more than 90% of the speed of light.
14. 19. The Universe was once thought to be everything that could ever exist, but recent theories about inflation (e.g. Big Bang) suggest our universe may be just one of countless bubbles of space time.
15. 20. The Universe may have neither a centre nor an edge, because according to Einstein’s theory of relativity, gravity bends all of space time around into an endless curve.
16. 21. If you fell into a black hole, you would stretch like spaghetti.
17. 22. Matter spiraling into a black hole is torn apart and glows so brightly that it creates the brightest objects in the Universe – quasars.
18. 23. The swirling gases around a black hole turn it into an electrical generator, making it spout jets of electricity billions of kilometers out into space.
19. 24. The opposite of black holes are estimated to be white holes which spray out matter and light like fountains.
20. 25. A day in Mercury lasts approximately as long Saturn's moon Titan has plenty of evidence of organic (life) chemicals in its atmosphere.
21. 2. Life is known to exist only on Earth, but in 1986 NASA found what they thought might be fossils of microscopic living things in a rock from Mars.
22. 3. Most scientists say life's basic chemicals formed on the Earth. The astronomer Fred Hoyle said they came from space.
23. 4. Oxygen is circulated around the helmet in space suits in order to prevent the visor from misting.
24. 5. The middle layers of space suits are blown up like a balloon to press against the astronaut's body. Without this pressure, the astronaut's body would boil!
25. 6. The gloves included in the space suit have silicon rubber fingertips which allow the astronaut some sense of touch.

1. 7. The full cost of a spacesuit is about $11 million although 70% of this is for the backpack and the control module.

1. 8. Ever wondered how the pull of gravity is calculated between heavenly bodies? It's simple. Just multiply their masses together, and then divide the total by the square of the distance between them.
2. 9. Glowing nebulae are named so because they give off a dim, red light, as the hydrogen gas in them is heated by radiation from the nearby stars.
3. 10. The Drake Equation was proposed by astronomer Frank Drake to work out how many civilizations there could be in our galaxy - and the figure is in millions.
4. 11. SETI is the Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence - the program that analyzes radio signals from space for signs of intelligent life.
5. 12. The Milky Way galaxy we live in: is one among the BILLIONS in space

Interesting stuffs about human body.

It takes food seven seconds to go from the mouth to the stomach via the esophagus.

The average human dream lasts only 2 to 3 seconds.

The average American over fifty will have spent 5 years waiting in lines

A sneeze travels at over 100 miles per hour. Gesundheit!

Your thigh bone is stronger than concrete.

Your fingernails grow almost four times as fast as your toenails.

You blink your eyes over 10,000,000 a year.

There were about 300 bones in your body when you were born, but by the time you reach adulthood you only have 206.

Your brain is move active and thinks more at night than during the day
Your brain is 80% water

Your pet isn't the only one in the house with a shedding problem. Humans shed about 600,000 particles of skin every hour. That works out to about 1.5 pounds each year, so the average person will lose around 105 pounds of skin by age 70.

Interesting and weird space facts...

Every year the moon moves about 3.8cm further away from the Earth. This is caused by tidal effects. Consequently, the earth is slowing in rotation by about 0.002 seconds per day per century. Scientists do not know how the moon was created, but the generally accepted theory suggests that a large Mars sized object hit the earth causing the Moon to splinter off.


If you shouted in outer space, even the person right next to you would not be able to hear what you said. Sound travels as pressure waves through air. Because there is no air in outer space, there is also no sound. So don’t bother trying to tell your astro-buddy his fly is down, he ain’t gonna hear you.




The lack of gravity in outer space combined with the inherent surface tension of liquids causes them to form into free-floating spheres. That’s why astronauts often drink water out of a straw in a tightly sealed container. Although they can suck free-floating water bubbles in the weightlessness of zero-gravity space if they want to!





 One problem with working out the age of the Universe is that there are stars in our galaxy which are thought to be 14 to 18 billion years old – older than the estimated age of the Universe. So, either the stars must be younger, or the Universe older.




After spiraling into a black hole is torn apart and glows so brightly that it creates the brightest objects in the Universe – quasars.

Mind blowing facts about our human body.

1. DNA tests can help you understand your family history aka genetic genealogy.
2. If all the DNA in your body was put end to end, it would reach to the sun and back over 600 times (100 trillion times six feet divided by 92 million miles)

Nerve impulse to and from the brain travel as fast as 170 miles per hour. Ever wonder how you can react so fast to things around you or why that stubbed toe hurts right away? It's due to the super speedy movement of nerve impulses from your brain to the rest of your body and vice versa, bringing reactions at the speed of a high powered luxury sports car.

The brain operates on the same amount of power as 10-watt light bulb. The cartoon image of a light bulb over your head when a great thought occurs isn't too far off the mark. Your brain generates as much energy as a small light bulb even when you are sleeping.

A kitchen faucet would need to be turned on all the way for at least 45 years to equal the amount of blood pumped by the heart in an average lifetime

 Women are more likely to gain weight than men during the first few years of marriage.

Germs only cause disease, right? But a common bacterium, E. Coli, found in the intestine helps us digest green vegetables and beans (also making gases – pew!). These same bacteria also make vitamin K, which causes blood to clot. If we didn’t have these germs we would bleed to death whenever we got a small cut!

When you wake up in the morning you are at taller than when you go to sleep, because you have let your spine straighten back out after all the bending, sitting, and moving you have done!

The farthest you can see with the naked eye is 2.4 million light years away! (140,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles.) That’s the distance to the giant Andromeda Galaxy. You can see it easily as a dim, large gray “cloud” almost directly overhead in a clear night sky.
