Largest living Cell

There exists a single celled organism that can grow to about the size of a golf ball and sometimes bigger. It is a single celled algi called 'Valonia Ventricosa'. It is considered to be one of the largest single celled organisms in the world.

These gigantic single celled organisms can be found in every ocean in the world. They're believed to be able regenerate if they're damaged or broken into multiple pieces. Each fragment could grow into another complete 'Valonia Ventricosa'.

The Thing Movie

The movie titled "The thing" is based on the Book called 'Who Goes there' by John Campbell. In the '80s version of the film, there are some differences from the book. In the book, the alien wasn't discovered by a separate Norwegian expedition. It was discovered by the same crew.

In the book the alien has a default form, a creature with a humanoid shape and three red eyes. The creature also has tentacles in it's hair. In the book the creature doesn't need to eat or breathe because it has cold fusion proteins, the cells can get energy directly from water molecules by splitting it and fusing hydrogen. In the movie this ability is never exposed. The book also mentions that the cells of the organism are identical from the victim cells except for the nucleus. Most of the science is cut out of the movie.

Trip To Hell

According to the book titled '23 minutes in Hell', a guy called Bill Wiese was pulled out of his body and was taken to Sheol, the Current Hell. He was there for about 23 minutes because his wife saw the time when he came back to his body. 
He claimed it was like a prison deep underground filled with people that rejected God and angry Fallen Angels. He claimed he was put in a prison cell with two Demons that look like  humanoid reptiles. He also claimed in his book that it was unbearably hot and stank of sulphur.

Fruit facts

Strawberries, Raspberries and Blackberries are not technically berries. They are produced with multiple flowers. Bananas are technically berries because they come from a single flower ovary. Raspberries are actually known as drupets or aggregate drupes. 

Permisons, Sharon fruit, Tipos, Rojo Brilliants and Date Plums all come from the same species of fruit, they are all types of Kaki fruit that are native to China. Sharon fruits are Kaki apples that were bread to have firm skin and come from Sharon valley in Israel. 

Coffee Berries, mangos, Olives, peaches and Cherries are all drupes or stone fruit. Olive oil and coffee are produced with fruits.

Kinesin the motor protein

Every cell in your body contains microscopic protein machines called Kinesin. They are little vehicles that have legs that walk around delivering nutrients and chemicals to different parts of the cell. 
They move very fast but if you slow video footage of them down, they clearly resemble walking. They literally walk along micro tubial framework inside the cell.

Just like all protein machines in the cell, they are printed out from RNA strands that were copied from the reading side of the DNA molecule.

Galaxy Collision

According to NASA and most of the astronomical society, in 5 billion years our galaxy will collide with the Andromeda galaxy. By that time, our sun will be transitioning into a white dwarf dead star running on the remainder of its heat. 
Many of the scientists believe that the stars themselves won't collide with eachother because they're so spaced out, excuse the pun. 

Eventually the super massive black holes at the centre of the two galaxies will merge together and the two galaxies will become one large galaxy.

Mandela Effect

The Mandela effect is a non formal term used to describe large groups of people sharing a false memory. For example, in 2013 when Nelson Mandela passed away, thousands of people thought he was already dead, they thought he died in prison. 
I have a few Mandela effect examples of my own. I remember mr money bags, the logo for the monopoly game had a monocle on his eye, he never did. On the kit Kat logo, I remember there was a blocky shaped hyphen between the word Kit and Kat but there never was; many other people share this false memory and that is why it is considered a Mandela effect.
