[john tucker must die]Twentieth Century Fox * WHILE YOU MAY THINK OF YOURSELF AS A SCIENCE EXPERT, THE QUESTIONS BELOW WILL LIKELY HAVE YOU STUMPED. * MOST OF THESE ARE QUITE TRICKY, BUT SEE IF YOU CAN FIGURE OUT THE CORRECT ANSWER. ------------------------- If you can answer 50 percent of these science trivia questions correctly, you may be a genius. WHAT WEIGHS MORE, A POUND OF GOLD OR A POUND OF FEATHERS? REUTERS/Ilya Naymushin You might think that this is a trick science trivia question. But, if you guessed that they weigh the same, you’re wrong. A pound of feathers weighs _more_. Why? Gold is weighed in the troy measurement system. Therefore, when you convert them both to a uniform system, a pound of gold weighs approximately 373.24 grams and a pound of feathers approximately 453.59 grams. Don't miss these history questions that people always get wrong. WHAT MOUNTAIN PEAK IS FARTHEST FROM THE CENTER OF THE EARTH? Kirsty barnby/Unsplash Many may think the answer to this science trivia question is Mount Everest. However, the peak of Chimborazo in Ecuador is the farthest from the center of the earth. Why? The earth actually bulges at the equator because it's constantly spinning. Since Chimborazo sits on top of the equator and right on this bulge, its peak is the furthest from the earth's core. Mount Everest is the tallest mountain if you measure it from base to peak, but its peak is not the furthest from the center of the earth. AT ONE TIME, DID PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT THE EARTH WAS FLAT? NASA Humans have known that the earth is round since the time of Ancient Greece. Many believe that it was in the early Middle Ages that some people said the world was flat. Here are some science "facts" that have been proven wrong.

The award-winning author made headlines when he went back to his day job in the civil service. He talks about seeing ghosts and almost giving up writing Donal Ryan made his name with his debut novel _The Spinning Heart_, a portrait of recession-hit rural Ireland in 21 voices, which won the Guardian first book award in 2013 and was longlisted for the Man Booker prize. Two other novels and a short story collection quickly followed, set around the same fictional village, a composite of various places in Limerick and Tipperary. Ranging from the boom years of the Celtic Tiger to the experience of Irish Travellers, they dug deep into the psyche of Irish communities, with marginal voices summoning the intensity of small-town loves and hates to uncover a complicated history and uncertain present. His fifth book, _From a Low and Quiet Sea_, begins with a very different story: that of Farouk, a Syrian doctor who with his wife and daughter flees a country collapsing into war in the hope of safety in the west. They discover too late that the boat they are crammed on to with other desperate families has no captain and no life jackets: and then a storm hits. Ryan took the story, he explains, from a news report about a Syrian doctor who paid what he thought was a high-end smuggler to get him out of the country, then lost his family at sea. “It really happened, the boat went down. What happens in the book happened in real life.” In the novel, the traumatised Farouk drifts through refugee holding camps, unable to process his loss. The real Farouk was employed on one of the Greek islands as a brain surgeon, says Ryan. “There was a line in the report where he says that he spends the time after his shifts looking out across the water, because that’s his family’s grave.” Continue reading...
