The contribution of Physics in unraveling mysteries of the universe and its constituents has been tremendous and greatly remarkable. Discoveries made by the Physicists over the years have helped us a great deal in understanding both micro and macro cosmos. The discoveries, such as Planck’s constant and natural unit of light, have opened the Pandora’s Box around us to reveal other facts as well. Here is a list of top 10 mind blowing facts about Physics that will literally surprise you. 10. Light waves don’t always move in straight lines: It is generally believed that light waves only move in straight lines. However, as per the recent research in 2010 using computer controlled hologram, it has been proved that light, too, can get twisted into knots. According to the study, when light passes through the hologram, it twists into different shapes, producing multiple knots. 9. Unbelievable hydrogen energy: It is estimated that Sun burns around 620 million metric tons of hydrogen/second into

We use mathematics in everyday life. Therefore, it is not accidental that it is called the king of all sciences. Numbers are everywhere and we cannot imagine our world without them. 15 interesting facts about mathematics The first woman engaged in mathematics was  Hypatia  from Alexandria. Equal sign  invented in 1557 by Robert Recorde. If you add numbers from 1 to 100, you get 5050.

It is hard to imagine how they managed their life without the number 0 (zero) You may have already heard this story somewhere before. George
