A few quick ones

Hey there, well it’s been a while again I’m really bad with putting things off so I’m sorry. But this post brings us officially to the halfway point of my blog. YAY! Now this blog will be half in celebration of being half way through this and half because I’m running out of ideas. I’m going to be talking about a few random miscellaneous misconceptions I’ve heard but can’t really place together into a full post. Also I was looking over my old posts and realized there where a few things I said so I’ll add those too.

To start I’ll say the ones I forgot from old posts. For the first one, I forgot the one about cat’s purrs in my last post. It’s not much of a misconception but ill add it. Most think a cat purrs when they’re happy but actually there are many reasons they will, including when they’re hurt because their purrs actually mend bones because I think the frequency, but how cool is that. In I believe what was my third post about Asia I forgot to add the one that I’ve heard a lot of people say before and it was one of there misconceptions that inspired me to make that post. Which is that you can see the Great Wall of China from space. Now technically you can see everything from space, with today’s technology I could see a chalk drawing you made on your driveway. But this is more talking about if you where like an astronaut in the space station just looking at the planet, and in that instance you cannot see it. I’ve looked around at various pictures and gone on Google earth and its just not there. All the pictures you can actually see it in are really zoomed in.
 
I've looked at this photo and many others like it dozens of times now and i've found nothing.
Well since those ones lasted a lot longer then I thought ill just go over the others a little faster. Starting with black holes. They’re not actually holes I’ve heard people say this but they just aren’t. From my understanding of the topic, in short, they’re just something with a huge gravitational pull, which warps time and space around it. Next Vikings didn’t wear those hats with the horns. Last one that I think a lot of people know all ready but bulls don’t hate the colour red they just attack the cloth in bullfights because it’s moving.


Well that’s it for now, till next time.
