So in the newest series, The World of Amazing Facts, we have Science as our chief guest. Read on to know about the most mind-blowing science facts that will surely leave you amazed.

1. Human = 50% Banana
   

   One of the funniest yet unbelievable science facts is that humans share 50% of their DNA with bananas. This is because all life on our planet has actually evolved from one single cell that emerged around 1.6 billion years ago.

   



2. Ants Are Stronger Than Weightlifters!
   

   Another science fact that will blow your mind is that the tiny ants can lift objects 50 times their body weight! Their size might be small but they have so much more power than larger animals or even humans due to their ultra-strong muscles.



3. Rats Laugh Just Like Humans!
   

   A rat laughs playfully when tickled. Unbelievable, right? But it's true. According to National Geographic, rats respond actively to tickling and even play with the researchers.

   



4. Sorry, But You Can't Burp Here!
   

   Another unbelievable science fact is that after consuming food on Earth, gravity holds it down due to which the gas comes out from your mouth. And that's what we call a burp. In space, the gas cannot separate from the food, which makes it impossible to burp. Trying the same can lead to vomiting.



5. Octopuses Are Royal!
   

   Another amazing science fact you never learned about is that Octopuses have nine brains, three hearts, and blue blood!

   



6. The Blue Oxygen!
   

   All this time, you may have thought that oxygen is odourless and colourless. But another mind-blowing science fact reveals that oxygen is pale blue in its liquid and solid forms.

   That’s right. The human body consists of more bacteria than cells. We have 39 trillion bacteria and 30 trillion human cells. Researchers believe we are more bacteria and less human.

   



8. Grasshoppers Hear From Their Belly!
   

   In grasshoppers, membranes that vibrate in response to the sound are located on their first abdominal segment, which is found under the wings. This eardrum is known as a tympanal organ.



9. Polar Bears Are The Real Super Spies!
   

   Polar bears are experts at conserving heat so much so that even infrared cameras can't catch them. Due to a heavy covering of blubber under the skin, bears stay warm all the time and can withstand the chilliest Arctic day.
