During World War II, British intelligence spread the rumor that the Royal Air Force pilots enjoyed superior night vision because they ate copious amounts of carrots. The truth was the RAF was using their newly invented radar to spot German planes in the dark. It was a massive military secret, and in order to keep German intelligence āin the darkā they made up the carrot fact. Vitamin A in carrots is good for eye health, it just probably wonāt help you detect enemy airplanes in the dark.

People can use only a small fraction of Earthās water. In school, we were taught that most (about 71%) of the planetās surface is covered in water. While thatās true, just 0.007% of that water is usable for people, according to National Geographic. Thatās because only about 2.5% of Earthās water is fresh water, and only a little more than 1% of that is accessibleāmost of the rest is made up of glaciers, polar ice caps and snowfields.

The smaller the animal is, the slower they can process time. How animals perceive time can depend on how quickly the brain processes new information. Animals like mice or lizards will experience time differently than horses or dogs.
