Although super cool, sometimes science can be comepletely strange, going against our common sense, current knowledge, and elementary school education. Does anybody have a science fact that is just plain weird? An explanation for a posted one? I would definitely like to hear it.

Some current physics theories bring about infinities when certain formulas are used. There is a mathematical process in which the user is able to "cancel most of the larger infinities" although "smaller" infinities still remain. By definition, an infinite number or quantity is indefinitely huge is not a mesureable number that can be said to be greater than or less than another number. So how can there be "larger" and "smaller" infinities?

Going against elementary school education? Do you mean to imply that elementary school educators are not giving out the good, the best, the most cool, the most interesting science information?

Is not their description of photosynthesis absolutely astounding? Didn't they explain to you that wormholes are actually made by giant space worms? What's your take on their take on spaghettification?

I am infinitely interested in your opinion on this.

When I was a kid, all we had was teachers and the library. Now, my kids have space.com and a dozen other great resources they can plow through to help them get a jump start on their astronomical infatuations.

Another scientific curiostiy is monopole magnets. Unlike normal, or dipole, magnets, monopoles have only one pole, a north pole or south pole. This is like a stick having only one end!

Quantum mechanics predicts that particles such as an electron can be multiple places at once yet not have a definite position. When these particles interact with other particles (for example, colliding with an atom or absorbing a photon, a light particle) they must "choose" a definite state to be in, for example, spinning a certain way or existing in a certain place. When not interacting with other particles the electron exists in a "probablility wave" state which is basically a wave that describes the probabalility of finding the particle at a certain point.

Science has evolved a long way since "Hmm, I think that planet would orbit over there..." and some most of it is not compatible with common sense. Totally awesome, but completely strange.

Doesn't the idea of a monopole magnet also refute the theory that fool Newton proposed about every action having an equal and opposite reaction?

If that "Third Law" is not the case, then of course we won't need an "infinite" power supply to achieve some kind of "infinite" speed.

Could monopole magnets be the key to a)antigravity or b)faster than light travel?
