100 Mind-Blowing Base Facts
All mammals get goosebumps. When your hair stands on end, tiny muscles contract at each hair’s base which distorts the skin to create goosebumps. This process is called piloerection and is present in all mammals. Hair or fur is used to trap an insulating air layer.
Cats can’t taste sweet flavours. This is mainly because they do not possess the base pair of genes that detect sweet flavours. As a result, sugar does not code on their tongues as proper proteins.
Your fingernails on your dominant hand grow faster. It also takes around half a year for a fingernail to grow from its base to the tip. These nails also grow faster on the bigger fingers rather than the smaller ones.
The Great Pyramid of Giza has more than four sides. This pyramid has a total of 8 sides which is double the normal amount for most pyramids. This includes the sides of its base.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is tilted due to the soil at its base. The soft soil it is built on is also the reason why it was able to survive 4 major Earthquakes. This tower took over 344 years to build and was completed in 1178.
Humans share about 50% of our DNA with bananas. By sequencing the entire genome of various organisms, researchers have discovered similarities in their base material. Human beings have been found to share many of the housekeeping genes that are necessary for cellular function with bananas.
Fire moves faster uphill. One of the fundamental rules of science is that heat rises. As such, a fire would move faster uphill than downhill or laterally. For example, a forest fire at the base of a mountain would spread faster towards the mountain incline rather than spreading around the base.
Trained dolphins protect nuclear weapons. One of the world’s biggest stockpiles of nuclear weapons (a U.S. Navy base near Seattle) is defended by trained dolphins.
Peyton List has a loyal fan base. Her fans, known as “Peytonators,” avidly support and admire her talent, continually showing their love for her through fan art and dedicated social media accounts.
The number ‘172’ can be found on the back of the U.S. 5 dollar bill in the bushes at the base of the Lincoln Memorial.
Mars is home to Olympus Mons, a dormant volcano and the largest volcano and highest mountain in our solar system. It is 16 miles high and 600 km across the base, making it 3x the height of Mount Everest.
The US Army has its private herd of bison. Unfortunately, it’s not part of some sort of secret plan to create a mounted bison regiment. Instead, the US Army base of Camp Pendleton in California was gifted the bison back in the 70s. The San Diego Zoo entrusted the bison to the base for safekeeping, and they’ve done such a great job at it that the herd has grown from 14 to 90 or so! The herd is constantly monitored, not just to ensure they’re in good health but also because they’re quite dangerous wild animals!
The First Computer ever (ENIAC). The ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) made history as the first computer in the world (which was electronic programmable). Development of the computer was completed in 1945, and the computer entered service in December of that year. ENIAC could displace the computational power of 2,400 human beings for $500,000. ENIC relied on octal-base radio tubes to function. However, these tubes constantly burned out daily and required replacement. This means that ENIAC ran about 50% of the time and experienced downtime for tube replacements otherwise. More specialised and durable tubes eventually became available, leading to failures every one to two days.
The first cell phone call. The first mobile phone call took place on April 3, 1973. Martin Cooper, a Motorola researcher, placed the call on a prototype device. After dialling the phone number, his device connected to a base station, which then connected to the landline system of AT&T. Cooper called his biggest rival at AT&T, Joel Engel. Cooper kept the conversation both brief and modest. He simply told Engel he had made the call from a bona fide mobile phone. From there, Cooper helped Motorola and other companies usher in the age of the mobile phone a few years later.
In 2007 the US Army was the single largest install base for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).
Defence Industrial Base: The NSA focuses on the security of the Defence Industrial Base, which includes critical infrastructure and defence-related industries. Protecting these assets is vital for national security.
Winchester was the first capital of England: We’re beginning this collection of interesting facts about England by uncovering some insights into the country’s history. It’s a well-known fact that the bustling city of London is the country’s capital, however, it hasn’t always had this status! Over 1,150 years ago, in 871, the Hampshire city of Winchester was the country’s capital. This came to be when King Alfred began his reign as King of Wessex and chose the city to be his capital. During the 10th century, all seven of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, including Wessex, merged to become England. This led to London becoming the capital and the new base for the government, thanks to its fantastic trading opportunities.
