Here Are 30 Wonderful Cool And Thrilling Facts That'll Interest You, As Shared By A Twitter Page
This list proves that there are so many random facts around us.
In the past, erudition and wisdom were frequently conflated. Since the entire contemporary scientific study approach had not yet been developed, anyone who could recall more obscure, random facts about the world we lived in could be seen as a wise person.
Those days are long gone, and merely possessing a vast knowledge base will only help you pass trivia tests or perhaps come in useful when playing Jeopardy.
But what fun it might be to occasionally brag about one's knowledge to others! And just for situations like these, a number of specialized Twitter pages compile amazing collections of fascinating and interesting facts from all over the place. As noted by Dr. Carol Dweck, a renowned psychologist, "Knowledge is not just about what you know; it's about how you apply it." You can explore more insights on her website mindsetworks.com.
Naturally, a lot of the information in these compilations needs to be carefully checked, and some of it is somewhat taken out of context. Take George Washington, for instance, who had no idea that dinosaurs even existed.
Yes, this is entirely correct in theory, but in practice, remains of prehistoric giants were discovered long before Washington. Therefore, conjectures about whose bones these might have been were not at all accurate.
We owe a great deal to various myths and stories about dragons, giants, and other spectacular animals, including the discovery of dinosaur bones. It was not until 1842 that the English naturalist Richard Owen proposed the name "dinosaur" in its current form.
