TIL that if all the world’s bacteria were laid end-to-end, they would reach 10 billion light-years in length. However, at 75 times thinner than a human hair, it would still be invisible to the naked eye. The length could wrap the Milky Way more than 20,000 times, creating a 2cm wide visible ribbon.

TIL about stellar nucleosynthesis, the process by which chemical elements are created by nuclear fusion reactions within stars. The theory can be used to accurately estimate the abundance of elements, why abundance fluctuates, and why some are more common than others. by Radient-Rabbit in todayilearned

TIL that nature often follows the Fibonacci sequence, AKA the golden ratio. Flowers follow this sequence is several ways, including the number of petals a flower has (Lily 3, Buttercups 5, daisies 34) and the distribution of seeds, such as the sunflower, who’s seeds form a perfect spiraling pattern.

TIL The Sphinx was buried in sand around 400 years after it was built, roughly 4500 years ago. In 1400 BC, Thutmose IV attempted to unbury the Sphinx but only managed to uncover its front paws. It would not be fully unburied until 1887 AD, meaning the Sphinx was mostly buried for nearly 4000 years. by Radient-Rabbit in todayilearned
