Did you know that CEO of online shopping site Amazon Jeff Bezos makes more money per day than an average US household makes per year (millions of dollars). Do you know that stickers on fruits are used to classify natural fruits from genetically modified fruits that are grown with artificial and scientific methods. This is the episode 32 of the Top Enigmatic Facts (TEF) series.
1. Water can boil and freeze at the same time
Seriously, it's called the triple point and it occurs when the temperature and pressure is just right for the three phases (gas, liquid, and solid) of a substance to coexist in thermodynamic equilibrium.This video shows cyclohexane in a vacuum.
2. Lasers can get trapped in a waterfall?

Oh my gosh, yes. Not only is this an incredible example of total internal reflection it also shows how Fibre work to guide the flow of light.
3. We've got spacecraft hurtling towards the edge of our Solar System really, really fast

We all know rockets are fast, and space is big. But sometimes when we're talking about how long it takes for us to get to distant parts of the Solar System(eight months to get to Mars are you kidding me?) it can feel like our spacecraft are just crawling along out there.
This gifshows just how wrong that idea is by comparing the speed of the New Horizons probe, which flew past Pluto last year, to a 747 and SR-71 Blackbird.
4. An egg looks like a crazy jellyfish underwater

A cracked egg on land might make a big mess, but 18 metres (60 feet) below the surface of the ocean, the pressure on the egg is 2.8 times atmospheric pressure, and it holds it all together like an indivisible egg shell.
5. You can prove Pythagoras' theorem with fluid

Not buying what your maths teacher is selling when they tell you a2 + b2 = c2? You can actually prove it with liquid.
