LIES ABOUT DINOSAURS
You might have heard that all dinosaurs were wiped out 65 million years ago when a 15 kilometer wide asteroid crashed into Earth and caused a mass extinction event, but that is entirely false. One species of dinosaur, theropods, managed to survive. They had feathers and hollow bones, and most of them could fly, meaning they could rise above the blast and survive the aftermath. And now, many scientists believe that these theropod dinosaurs managed to evolve into birds. So technically, dinosaurs are still alive and with us today. But that's not the only thing you were lied to about dinosaurs.

CUTTING EARTH INTO TWO HALF
There are many ways you could attempt to divide the planet. You could crack it open with an asteroid, blow it apart with nuclear weapons, or start digging. But no matter what, you'd have your work cut out for you. Having an asteroid do the job would be a risky move. The one that made this 160 kilometer wide, 40 kilometer deep crater in South Africa was bigger than the Jigsalube asteroid that killed the dinosaurs. A planet-splitting space rock would need to be much, much bigger, and we wouldn't fare very well.

IF THE EARTH WAS FLAT
Imagine if the Earth had an edge, and it looked like the edge of a flat Earth. I know, I know, we've talked about it before, but there's something mesmerizing about it. The flat Earth solar eclipse, the diagonally growing trees, the Great Wall of ice guarded by NASA (of course), the flat earthers sure have a great imagination. But what if they were right? How would the Earth hold up in space? Would it revolve around the Sun, or would the Sun rotate around it? And why would you never walk to the Earth's Edge?

WHAT HAPPENS IF WE ENTER WHITE HOLE
Get ready for a mind-bending journey through the universe! We all know that black holes are the ultimate celestial whirlpools of gravitational death - things can go in, but they can't get out. But what if we told you that there might be a mysterious twin to this powerful force? Enter the white hole - the opposite of a black hole. While black holes are incredibly dense objects that squeeze all the matter they ingest into an infinitely small point at their center, white holes constantly eject matter into the universe. Scientists theorize that white holes might be the other side of a black hole, and could even be a gateway to another universe.

WHAT HAPPENS IF WE THROW GARBAGE INTO VOLCANO
Did you know that volcanoes are one of the most powerful forces of nature? Unfortunately, if you were to fall into one, your body would quickly disappear without a trace. But have you ever wondered why we don't use volcanoes to get rid of our garbage? With Americans alone generating about 254 million tons of trash per year, it might seem like the perfect solution. However, volcanoes are actually much more dangerous and unstable than they appear, and not to mention difficult to access. So let's stick to traditional methods of waste disposal for now.
