Light is the fastest particle in the universe.

Benjamin Franklin is widely credited with discovering electricity during his kite and key experiment.

Robert Boyle propounded Boyle's Law; the absolute pressure exerted by a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to the volume it occupies if the temperature and amount of gas remain unchanged within a closed system.

At very high pressures, water can cut through rocks and metal.

Water in the form of polar ice caps has been found on Mars. Hence there is a possibility of life.

The sun is so far away from us that it takes about eight minutes for its light to reach us, so we see the sun as it was eight minutes ago!

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but rather changed from one form to another.

For work to be done, the force must move a body through a distance, so you aren't technically doing any work if you're carrying a heavy load and standing on a spot.

As famous as his theory of relativity was, Einstein didn't win a Nobel Prize for it.

Due to its smaller mass, Mars has a lesser gravitational pull than the earth. Therefore, you would weigh less than half your weight on Mars.
