14 interesting facts that actually exist in this world and most people don’t know
There are many mysteries in this world, and most of us may not even hear it. For example, bears are genetically closer to dogs than hyenas; how many escalators do you think there will be in Wyoming, USA? If there are two, would you believe it? To understand everything, many netizens collect and verify various information on the Internet. And sometimes, we don’t even believe that everything they say is true.

Scientists claim that all pyramids were built between the 26th century BC and the 23rd century BC. Mammoths appeared 1.6 million years ago and were not completely extinct until the 10th century BC. This means that although Khufu can be happy with the new pyramid named after him, somewhere thousands of kilometers away, those mammoths are frightening our human ancestors with their huge bodies.
2. There are only two escalators in Wyoming.
This state ranks tenth on the list of the largest states in the United States, with approximately 560,000 people living there. However, there are only two escalators in the state, and both are in a bank in Casper City. There are rumors that an escalator should be built at the local airport, but the building has only one floor, so there is no need at all.

According to the American Library Association, there are 119,847 libraries in the United States. And McDonald’s has only 36,000 in the world.
5. Googolplex is such a large number that there are not enough particles in the entire universe to record it.
This number was invented by the American mathematician Edward Kasner. It is equal to the 10th power of Googol (followed by 1 and 100 zeros). It is estimated that the number of particles in the entire universe "just" is 10 to 81 power.
6. If you shuffle with 52 cards, no one in the world can repeat your combination.
There are 52 cards with 8065817517094787857166063685640376697525289505440883277824000000000 possible combinations. This is why the chance of repeating the same combination twice is very low.
7. Koreans are the race with the least body odor.
Scientists at the University of Bristol came to this conclusion. In their research, they found that 99.994% of Koreans are like this. Studies have shown that although only 2% of Europeans lack the ABCC11 gene, most East Asians and almost all Koreans lack this gene. Researchers say that South Korea’s ratio is the lowest in the world.
8. Human fingers can perceive tiny particles.
According to Swedish scientists, the master is only possible on smooth surfaces. So, for example, if our fingers are as big as the earth, they can feel the difference between a car and a house.
9. The population of Canada is smaller than that of Tokyo, Japan.
Canada has almost 36.28 million residents, while the Tokyo Metropolitan Area has a population of 37 million.
10. Steve Wonder, Saddam Hussein, and members of the Jackson Five Brothers have the key to the city of Detroit.

12. The number of cells and bacteria in the human body is roughly the same.
A group of scientists from Israel and Canada came to this conclusion. In their research, they eliminated the legend of a 10:1 ratio. They calculated that an adult has 30 trillion bacteria and 39 trillion cells on average.
13. Giraffes and humans have the same number of bones in their necks.
Birds, reptiles, and amphibians have different numbers of vertebrae in their necks. For example, a swan may have 22 to 25 bones. But among mammals, like humans and giraffes, there are only 7 bones in their necks. The size and length of the neck will not change this number.
14. Wi-Fi signals will affect your brain.
Multiple studies on Wi-Fi radiation have shown that long-term exposure to this signal can cause changes in the structure of ribonucleic acid. It is not clear what this will cause. Some scientists believe that it causes cancer, while others believe that certain neurodegenerative effects are possible. But one thing is certain, it will definitely cause some kind of harm.
