Learning and experiencing something new is of great benefit to the development of people. Especially if these learned things are not known to everyone, it becomes even more valuable.

We have compiled some scary scientific information that is not known much for you.

Some people think they are dead!

People with a mental disorder known as “Walking Corpse Syndrome” or “Cotard Syndrome” believe they are dead, nonexistent, rotten inside, or have no blood or internal organs.

Carbon dioxide and methane gases trapped in deep lakes can suddenly rise to the surface and form huge gas clouds. These can cause living things to die suddenly by drowning.

This event, called the “Limnic explosion”, is a very rare type of natural disaster, where suddenly dissolved carbon dioxide spurts out of deep lake waters and creates a gas cloud that can suffocate living things.

Scientists believe that earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and other explosive events can trigger limnic eruptions.

Politics and science are “too” closely related.

Today, no scientific research can be done without government funding. On the other hand, important government decisions cannot be made without scientific research and oversight.

The sun can make you cancer!

In fact, a sunburn is a radiation burn that occurs when the ultraviolet (UV) rays of sunlight damage the DNA in the top layer of skin cells.

Our skin cells, on the other hand, prevent us from getting cancer by killing this damaged DNA, that is, by peeling off our skin. Despite all this, according to studies, prolonged exposure to the Sun increases the risk of cancer.

Microplastics that get into water and food sources are now also found in human blood and brain.

A study on mice has proven that microplastics can cross the blood and brain barrier and enter the brain after ingestion.

As a result of tests carried out by experts in Amsterdam last year, microplastics were detected in the blood of 17 of 22 participants.

Bacteria are rapidly becoming resistant to antibiotics, and this is happening faster than we are producing new antibiotics.

Even simple bacterial infections can result in death in the future.

There are many microorganisms trapped in glaciers, and they appear when the glaciers melt.

Since we do not know them yet, they do not have a cure.

If gamma-ray bursts are directed at a planet, life on that planet will end.

Gamma ray is a high-energy, high-frequency electromagnetic wave that we cannot perceive with our eyes, which emerges as a result of direct interactions in the atomic nucleus.

If any gamma-ray burst were to come to Earth, the ozone layer could protect us, but life would soon come to an end as we could not stop the UV rays from the Sun.

In a study conducted at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1972, it was predicted that humanity would enter the process of collapse in the 2040s.

In 2012, an economist saw that what had happened until then was in line with the predictions of the research. In the research, the scenario that would cause the collapse of civilization was related to environmental pollution.

Environmental pollution will make the lands unusable day by day and make agriculture difficult. The lack of food will bring the end of humanity.

It is estimated that medical errors cause 250,000 deaths per year.

The most common of these are incorrect drug use, misdiagnosis and infections.

When you are perfectly healthy, you can die suddenly.

This event, called “Sudden Cardiac Death”, is the unexpected death of someone who did not have a pre-existing fatal illness.

People can die with heart muscle problems as a result of heart attack, rhythm disorder or insufficient pumping of blood when they have no disease.

There is a brain-eating amoeba that lives in rivers in America.

This type of amoeba called “Naegleria fowleri” reaches the brain through the nose. According to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the probability of survival of a person infected with this amoeba species is extremely low.

95% of the oceans are still unexplored. So it is not clear what will come out of it…

Scientific research shows that we unwittingly swallow an average of 1 kilogram of insects per person every year.

Scientists say it’s impossible for us to remove all insects from fruits and vegetables, no matter how much we wash them. This applies not only to the vegetables and fruits we collect from the field and garden, but also to the vegetables and fruits we buy from the markets.

In addition, the colorant called “carmine”, which is used in most foods and substances today, is obtained from an insect called “cochineal”. We were also eating with pleasure without realizing it.
