You may have heard that Albert Einstein used to get low grades in school - this is a very common misconception. In fact, Einstein mastered differential and integral calculus by the age of 15.

The notion that blondes and gingers are “becoming extinct” is complete hogwash. Genes do not become “extinct”, and can re-emerge in a future generation.

Some movies may have made you think that Twinkies will last forever (or at least for a very long time). That is of course, not true – a Twinkie’s shelf-life is about 45 days.

If your car is struck by lightning, it’s not the rubber tires that will protect you from the electricity, but rather it’s the car’s metal frame that conducts the current around you and down to the ground.

You might have heard that when the sun reaches the end of its life – it will explode, which is untrue. Scientists agree that what will happen is a slow expansion of the sun, until it swallows all the near-orbit planets, including Mars, and eventually will shrink to become a brown dwarf.
