As we study history, we understand that since the beginning of the universe, an infinite number of unique and unprecedented events have occurred, each more unusual than the next. Likewise, besides these, there is a long list of rare facts that seem to be fiction but, nevertheless, they are completely true. In this post you will learn some of them. 
1. Stephen Hawking threw a party for time travelers 
During the experiment, Hawking threw a party for the public on June 28, 2009, but did not invite anyone until the next day. His theory was that if anyone saw the invitation, they would have to leave in time to get to the party. But no one showed up.
2. The closest people to the most distant place on Earth are astronauts 
Point Nemo is a conventional point in the World Ocean, the farthest from any land on Earth. It is located between South America and New Zealand in the Pacific Ocean, at a distance of at least 2688 kilometers from the nearest populated area. By comparison, the International Space Station orbits Earth at a distance of about 386 kilometers, making astronauts on the ISS closer to the point than anyone else on the planet, but only in space.
3. Some turtles can breathe underwater through their anus 
In fact, turtles technically don't have an anus; instead, they have a multi-purpose opening known as a cloaca, which is used for sexual reproduction and egg laying, as well as for waste disposal. This is called cloacal respiration, and turtles use this ability to hibernate under the ice in lakes and ponds.
4. A small cloud weighs as much as five elephants 
The average weight of a cloud is about 500-800 tons. On a warm day, a cubic meter of air near the ground can contain 20–30 g of steam. At altitude, much of this moisture turns into droplets. So a cumulus cloud with a diameter of 100 m will contain 10–20 tons of droplets.
5A Group Of Monkeys Escaped From A Research Center In Japan 
More than a dozen monkeys escaped from a laboratory at Kyoto University in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, after scaling a three-meter fence topped with high-voltage wire. They used tree branches as a catapult. But the animals did not know what to do with their freedom, and they were lured back with peanuts.
6. The Vikings had rap battles 
It was called a “fight” and consisted of a quick exchange of insults in the form of poetic verse.
7. New Zealand is part of a hidden underwater continent 
Most of the continent of Zealand is located under the waters of the Pacific Ocean. The continental landmass includes the islands of the New Caledonia archipelago and the New Zealand islands of North and South.
8. Termites eat wood twice as fast when they listen to rock music. 
They are attracted to the vibrations of loud rock music sounds.
9. Venus rotates so slowly that you could watch the sun set forever just by walking. 
The point is that you can go as fast as the sun moves.
10. Giraffes and humans have the same number of neck bones 
Although both giraffes and humans have the same number of individual neck bones, or vertebrae, there are differences in size and structure between the two species.
