Moon melon - Is it real?


This a Moon melon, scientifically knows as asidus . This fruit grows in some parts of Japan .It is known for its weird blue color.  It can switch flavors after you eat it, everything sour will taste sweet, and everything salty will taste bitter and it gives water a strong orange-like taste. I read it from internet only. But some sources said it is a Photoshop effect of red water melon. If anybody know about this please clarify my doubt.

Antioxidants


Antioxidants are substances that may protect our cells against the effects of free radicals. Free radicals are molecules produced when our body breaks down food, or by environmental exposures like tobacco smoke and radiation. Free radicals can damage cells, and may play a role in heart disease, cancer and other diseases.
Oxidation reactions can produce free radicals, which start chain reactions that damage cells. Antioxidants terminate these chain reactions by removing free radical intermediates, and inhibit other oxidation reactions by being oxidized themselves.

Why does a ship made of iron float while a piece of iron of same mass sink in water?


It’s because an iron ship is not completely solid. It has full of air filled in it. So the average density of the ship as a whole is less than the density of water. Therefore immersed portion of the ship displaces water equal to its weight. So the ship floats whereas a sheet of iron is compact and there are no air spaces inside it. Iron is denser than that of water. The weight of the sheet is greater than the weight of the water displaced by the sheet. So it sinks.

Which pole is colder, the North or the South?


Both Polar Regions of the earth are cold, primarily because they receive far less solar radiation than the tropics and mid-latitudes do. At either pole the sun never rises more than 23.5 degrees above the horizon and both locations experience six months of continuous darkness. Moreover, most of the sunlight that does shine on the Polar Regions is reflected by the bright white surface.
The South Pole the average temperature is about 56 degrees below zero degrees Fahrenheit (−49 degrees Celsius). At the North Pole the average temperature is a relatively balmy 20 degrees below zero (−29 degrees Celsius).

Why is the Ocean Salty?


All water, even rain water, contains dissolved chemicals which scientists call "salts." But not all water tastes salty. Salt doesn't evaporate when water evaporates. The rain flows back down to the sea, adding a little bit of salt to it constantly. Over millions of years, this makes the sea salty.
