In biology (botany), on the other hand, a "fruit" is a part of a flowering plant that derives from specific tissues of the flower, mainly one or more ovaries...
...
...Fruits (in either sense of the word) are the means by which many plants disseminate seeds. Most edible fruits, in particular, were evolved by plants in order to exploit animals as a means for seed dispersal; and many animals (including humans to some extent) have become dependent on fruits as a source of food.....

The approximate ratio of gravity to magnetism is 4900000000000000/1.
This is almost equal* to the ratio of an atom to the universe. (well not almost, it just has the same number of zeros)
objects with mass, moving at the speed of light do not travel through time.
there is a theory that every decision made creates a split dimension where the opposite of said decision happened (note this is not "just" decisions it is actually everything possible that did not happen creates a split dimension)
Also stuff is not nothing, we sit type and touch frameworks of atoms that do consist of a lot of nothing, however almost nothing does not mean nothing. this would be the same as saying an empty drink bottle does not exist.
(If i got something feel free to call bullgak on me, i'm not exactly a professor of quantum mechanics so i wouldn't be to surprised if i did get something wrong )

Time & Gravity go hand & hand (in a way). Object with larger gravitational forces move slower in space time, compared to object farther away from gravitational forces.
Example: Satellites above the earth constantly need to have their clocks adjusted because time is faster for them, compared to on earth.

Appariently theres galaxies in a 20 degree arc in our sky that are slowly moving away from us as if they're moving towards something. Scientists have speculated that there might be a huge primordial object with enough mass to move galaxies towards it.

They shall be my finest warriors, these men who give of themselves to me. Like clay I shall mould them, and in the furnace of war forge them. They will be of iron will and steely muscle. In great armour shall I clad them and with the mightiest guns will they be armed. They will be untouched by plague or disease, no sickness will blight them. They will have tactics, strategies and machines so that no foe can best them in battle. They are my bulwark against the Terror. They are the Defenders of Humanity. They are my Space Marines and they shall know no fear.

The universe has its own "music". The white noise if you will. Its actually quite interesting. Sometime it sounds like the aliens from the movie "Signs". There is actually a musician, who's name atm I can't remember, but he is from a well known band who uses the sounds from Quasars, or Pulsars (can't remember which) as beats to his music.
The static you see on your TV, or hear on your radio between channels, is the remnants of the Big Bang.

That my friend is the repulsive effect of dark matter, just as normal matter depresses the spacetime sheet causing gravity dark matter raises the sheet pushing things away from it.
EDIT: I got some numbers. Stars are measured in Solar Radii, which is the ratio to the size of the sun. That last star has a solar radii of 1900, so its 1900 times the size of the Sun!
Its not even the biggest, that would be Canis Majoris, which, if you could travel at the speed of light, would still take 10 minutes to go round!

This thread is blowing my mind, seriously. (As was intended, mind you, so I'm not surprised)
The only thing I can think of is something my friend told me once. Apparently there's some math system that allows you to create a triangle with three right angles. Don't ask me how - even he didn't really understand it (He found out from his math teacher).

At practically every point in space (even within atoms) tiny particles of matter and anti-matter are constantly being created before destroying each other again, but at the event horrison of a black hole, the particles of anti-matter are drawn towards the singularity (the theoretical centre of a black hole with infinite or near infinite mass), causing it to actually reduce in mass, shrinking it and leaving particles of matter streaming off in every direction.

I had an email (god knows where the hell it went to ) that showed those down to the pixel. It was pretty amazing seeing our sun, get smaller then a PIXEL on the screen compaired to those other stars. I honestly think, if s person really tries to fully understand the vast size of the Universe, they will go completely mad. I mean it takes around 10 years ish going 10 miles a second, to go from Earth to just Pluto. Thats just our solar system around our star. There are millions of stars in our galaxy. And millions of galaxies in the Universe I MEAN ITS JUST

The adaptive radiation and explosive divergence of the cichlid fishes of the African Rift Lakes.
Wherein a few small perchlike fish, with an adaptable jaw and omnivorous diet, entered these massive lakes and filled every ecological niche possible, transforming into thousands of species, from open water shoalers to ambush predators to rock dwelling algae grazers to parasites to sand sifters to egg thieves.
The majority of their divergence is thought to have taken place in just 10k years...
I often wonder what life will therefore sprout forth after we have gone. As Sir David Attenborough said, 'It would be extremely difficult for humanity to alter the planet to the extent where it could no longer sustain life, it is however, terribly easy to render it no longer capable of sustaining humanity'.

I don't know if anybody else sees it in the same way, but reading about this conjecture blew my mind (Especially after I tested it out. Several times)
The real theory (Thanks to Wikipedia) is that if you take any number and modify it by using 3n +1 (If it's odd) or n/2 (If it's even) it will always eventually reach 1.

We are arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS, who is fighting Iran, who is fighting Iraq who we also support against ISIS, while fighting Kurds who we support while they are fighting Syrian rebels.

Thats true. A friend of my family dated this woman once that was the pinnacle of stupid. Once he stopped to put gas in his car before taking her out to eat. The whole time this woman was staring at the gas pump intently. When he was done, he asked what the heck she was looking at. So then tells him, she was always amazed at how they could fit THAT MUCH GAS into such a small gas pump. It just blew her mind as she said lol. And of course she was incredibly sexy so I think that is true. The does giveth and taketh away
