It’s impossible to burp in space

When you burp on Earth, gravity keeps down the solids and liquids from the food you just ate, so only the gas escapes from your mouth. In the absence of gravity, the gas cannot separate from the liquids and solids, so burping essentially turns into puking.

We immerse dry ice in chocolate.

A layer of gas is created between the dry ice and the chocolate, which repels the chocolate.

Alligators survive in frozen swamps by sticking their noses through the ice to breathe.

Although alligators may appear to be dead, scientists say they are not. Alligators use this survival technique when the water begins to freeze. Their bodies are almost completely shut down, and all they have to do is breathe. Reptiles shut down their metabolism, and they don't need to eat their heart rate slows down, their digestive system slows down, and they just sit and wait for heat.

The Uyuni salt marsh was formed as a result of centuries-old surface changes. More than 40 thousand years ago, there were lakes in this place, but after a while they dried up and giant layers of salt remained on the surface.In some parts of the lake, the salt layer reaches 8 meters in height.
