Have you ever believed something only to find out it was a myth? There’re numerous facts in this world that we think are real. But then they result being lies! The dark side of the Moon, the wetter water firefighters use or bugs in strawberry Frappuccino - have you ever heard any of these facts before? Let's find out if they're myths or real things... For example, did you know that our planet isn’t round? Its shape even has a special name to it: geoid. I’m gonna show you what it looks like, but one thing is for sure: the Earth spins at a mind-blowing speed, making it a bit elongated, true, but the tectonic plates moving inside it also affect its shape.

If you became invisible all of a sudden, what would you do first? You can do anything you want and not get caught...or can you? Is invisibility the best superpower? Well, just because you're invisible doesn't mean you're undetectable. Keep watching to see why!

The asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs hit Earth millions of years ago. But we're still investigating all of the details of that event. Why did the dinosaurs go extinct and the birds didn't? Which of the creatures did they evolve into? Was it possible to save any of the Dinos? Let's answer some of the most exciting questions about dinosaurs.

So, you think you know your body so well there can't be any secrets or surprises? Still, there are many body facts that we all believe since childhood that are actually myths. For example, did you know that as well as having unique fingerprints, humans also have unique tongue prints? Or that an adult spends three hours in the bathroom every week? And what do you think about this one: do you swallow eight spiders a year while sleeping?

Brilliant inventor Nikola Tesla tried to build an ideal modern world at the very beginning of the 20th century. The scientist wanted to create a unique system capable of sending electricity all over the world without wires. To do this, in 1901, he began building one of his most ambitious projects – the Wardenclyffe Tower. His plans included building about 30 towers and installing them all over the world. Why didn't it work out in the end?

You might think that the times of the Titanic are long gone, but what if I told you that less than 20 years ago there was another ship that almost followed in the steps of the Titanic? This time, abandoned by their captain, around 600 passengers would have lost their lives if not for the quick-thinking and courageous cruise ship entertainers. The Oceanos, built in France and first launched in July 1952, was a Greek-owned cruise ship. On August 3, 1991, after a serious delay, it set off from East London, South Africa, on its fateful voyage toward Durban. Even before the journey started, the ship had already started to wear... #titanic #ships #brightside The cruise ship Oceanos leaving Piraeus Harbor on June 1986: By Peter J.

How long is “really long” when it comes to flights? A trip from Dubai to LA, or Sydney to, let’s say, Houston?

In fact, the longest flight in the world lasted for 64 days and 22 hours! a Cessna 172 airplane took off in December, 1958 and didn’t land until February of 1959! How could that happened? How did the pilots manage to stay in the air for so long? Where did they get the fuel from? What did they eat, and did they ever sleep?

What if the Moon was replaced with any other planet from the Solar System? The Moon is the Earth's closest space neighbor and its only natural satellite. It likely formed when a huge, Mars-sized object crashed into our planet billions of years ago. This catastrophe turned Earth into a scorching ball of molten rock. It also pushed some material into its orbit, creating the Moon. Now, this heavily cratered sphere moves around our planet. This causes high and low tides around the globe. A bit more than one-fourth the size of Earth, it's the fifth-largest natural satellite in the Solar System. Whatever the satellite looks like, you can always find it in the night sky and sometimes, even during the day. But imagine waking up at night and noticing that the Moon looks somewhat different than usual... #brightside TIMESTAMPS: Mercury 0:51 Venus 2:06 Mars 2:54 Jupiter 4:17 Saturn 5:25 Uranus and Neptune 6:43 The Sun 8:22 Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: Facebook: / brightside Instagram: / brightgram 5-Minute Crafts Youtube: https://www.goo.gl/8JVmuC Stock materials (photos, footages and other): https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me/

How to become more confident? Does the idea of social interaction send panic waves through your body? Yeah, it tends to do that for shy people. But even if you’ve been the quiet type your whole life, there are lots of things you can to do build your confidence, become more charismatic, and get rid of that social awkwardness for good! Do you know that advertising your shyness, you’re only trapping yourself in this label? People might not even see you as quiet or awkward until you bring it up! And from then on, they’ll only be able to see you that way. There’s nothing wrong with being “the shy one” but holding onto that label can really set you back if you sincerely wanna open up and be more conversational. Do you wanna learn more about that?

Do you know that people forget approximately 95% of their dreams as soon as they wake up or shortly after? Scientists still don’t know exactly why we dream. But what they do know with certainty is that every person on this planet dreams for about 2 hours a night, even those who claim that they never do! Such people simply don't recall their dreams. Brain scans done on sleeping people show that their frontal lobes, which are responsible for memory formation, aren't active during REM (or rapid eye movement) sleep. And this is exactly the stage of sleep when you dream. See the catch? At the same time, though, there are some tricks you can use to remember your dreams better!

In a room full of people, do you tend to hide in the corner? Blend into the wallpaper? Maybe even sneak under the rug? Even the shyest people can use certain psychological techniques that will persuade others to listen to them. For example, if you don't feel comfortable meeting new people or talking in front of an audience, trick your brain into believing that you do! If you need someone to agree with you, nod your head while you're speaking. Your companion is likely to subconsciously mirror you and start nodding in response. So, guys, if you wanna communicate in a more confident way, these ideas also help you to make a good first impression, improve your communication skills, and attract attention.
