Hey, In this article I will be talking about a few amazing science facts you will not find easily. I can bet after reading this article you will get something new to learn and this definitely adds value to your life. There may be a possibility that you know a few of them but I am sure enough you won't have known these all. So will begin out the list with our first fact:
Fact 1 :
An Iceberg contains more heat energy than a burning match. Find it amazing! The reason for it is the sheer size of the iceberg.
Fact 2 :
There is currently a Scientific hypothesis that the sun has a companion which is currently away from the sun. It is estimated that it Currently 1 to 1.5 Light years away. It is believed that it has an elliptical orbit which, every 26 Million years, sends matters to the earth causing destruction. It was the discovery of these seemingly regular events that gave rise to these hypotheses. This is most likely to predicted to a red or brown dwarf star being named Nemesis or Death star.
Fact 3:
Fulgurite is the name of Fossilized lighting. These are hollow glass tubes formed in Quartzose sand or silica or soil by the lighting strike. And are formed with lighting with the temperature at least 1,800 degrees celsius strike and melts silica on a conductive surface and fuses grains together. Here is an image of Fulgurite
Fact 4:
When on certain types of surfaces steel ball, glass ball, and rubber balls are dropped together, the Rubber ball will bounce less than Steel and Rubber. Yes, you read it right. When Dropped on hard rigid surface the Rubber ball will bounce less than Steel and Glass ball because on impact with the ground the rubber ball loses its shape causing it's flattening onto a surface and springing back losing some of its energy.
Fact 5:
A quick interesting fact about the extinction of Dinosaurs, 65 Million years ago, A meteor impact in Chicxulub, Mexico caused Mega tsunamis thousands of feet high. It is believed by scientists that this single impact was the cause of the extinction of dinosaurs.
Fact 6:
A very cool fact on the way, At this age the earth in the middle of an Ice age which started around 2.58 million years ago. We are into an interglacial period which will last around 50,000 years and started around 10,000 to 15,000 years ago.
Fact 7 :
Worlds first Nuclear reactor was built in a squash court beneath a Chicago football stadium on December 2, 1942. While it generated power bearly enough to light a bulb, this proved that Nuclear energy was feasible.
Fact 8:
This my Favourite one, The Cracking sound of the whip is actually a Sonic Boom. This is because the tip of the whip travels faster than the speed of the sound. The Whip is First man-made device capable of exceeding the speed barriers. 
Fact 8:
Most Icebergs are salt-free water caused by Mainland Glaciers. Some seawater icebergs do exist, They are green. When a icebergs pick up seawater it can create green stripes. Additionally, Normal water in the berg that freezes more rapidly caused Blue Stripes. This is actually quite stunning and the Image below is a good example.
Fact 9:
While the chances of being struck by a meteor are very slim but there have been several reported cases. On June 21, 1944, Jose Martin of Spain was driving with his wife near Madrid when a 3 pound (1.3Kg) meteor hit the Windshield. Bent the steering wheel and ended by in the backseat. In which martin Suffered a broken finger and his wife remained unharmed.
Fact 10:
Caves breathe. They inhale and exhale a great Quantity of Air while the barometric pressure on the surface changes and air rushed in and out seeking Equilibrium. It is a common disbelief that caves unhealthy and hard to breathe places but mostly it's not the actual case.
Fact 11:
A Teaspoonful of Neutron stars could weight 6 Billion tons. A Neutron Star is a remnant of a massive star that has run out of fuel. The dying stars explode in a supernova while its cores collapse on itself due to gravity, forming a super-dense neutron star. Astronomers measure these huge masses in Solar masses. With one Solar mass equal to the Sun's Mass(2*1030 kilogram).Typical Neutron stars have mass up to three solar mass, Making them one of the densest matter in the known Universe.
Fact 12:
Polar bears are nearly Undetected by Infrared Camera's. Thermal Cameras detect the heat loss by the subject as Infrared. But Polar bears are experts in Conserving heats. The bear keeps himself warm by a thick layer of blubber under the skin add to this a dense fur coat and they can endure the chilliest Artic day.
