[@skwozies3083]

Not only that but it engages the system 2 thinking which gives out knee jerk reactions or snap judgements (heuristics) rather than stopping to think through the problems. Like when someone asks how many animals did Moses bring on the ark? Moses didn't bring any animals on the ark, that was Noah (never mind the fact that the story is highly dubious at best). Or if we ask if a baseball bat and a ball cost $1.10 in total. The bat costs $1.00 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost? Since this question engages system 2 thinking most people get the answer wrong as they resort to the first figure that pops into their head 10 cents. But if you stop to analytically look at the question and work it out rather than be pressured to give an answer then the answer is obvious, the ball cost 5 cents and the bat is $1:05. In other words, the people being questioned giving the wrong answers are often so blindsided that they cannot think through the problem to work it out and these types of interviews are hijacking this normal human response in order to say that said people are stupid in order to make the audience feel superior. This is a very unfortunate problem in entertainment.

A ruler measures length, but it can measure it in inches, centimeters or both or other units. What would you say if someone said as an answer, "In Kilopascals." I'm thinking I kind of meant it as a joke. I guess it isn't the complete answer, air pressure is what they are looking for.

I'm from Virginia and I could answer all of those questions 100%. And when he was talking to the nurse, he actually asked what was the larges organ "IN" the human body, so that would be a trick question depending on how you count the dermal and epidermal tissue.

[@TheRealQuickSilver]

True, although it is a bit concerning that she said "the heart". I could understand someone not thinking of skin as an organ, but what about the liver or the brain? That said, apparently Lenno didn't know that the colon was an organ so he's not the most knowledgeable either

[@kimt1943]

The question should have been...” What is the largest organ OF the human body”? Still, the “nurse”should have known that one! Maybe she meant she works in a “NURSE”ry!

[@Troy-Echo]

@@TheRealQuickSilver True...heart? On both sides of the heart are the 5 lobes of the lungs, which are obviously bigger than the heart. The heart is really amazing though. What other muscle in the human body can flex at almost once a second, or more than once a second for those that do not have exceptionally great cardio? When I was in high school I played football, ran track and did martial arts, plus I was on the rescue squad. I was home on the couch one day and I fell asleep watching TV, and for some reason I checked my pulse immediately as I woke up and my pulse was down to 40 beats per minute while resting. Now I'm in my early 50's and if my heart rate dropped to 40 I'd probably pass out. Honestly though, excluding your skin, arms, legs and neck, most of the rest of your body is a conglomeration of nothing but organs, blood vessels and bone, and most of them are larger than the heart by weight and volume. Another interesting fact - people think the place you lose most of your body heat in the winter is from your head, which is incorrect. The surface area of your alveoli in the lungs is much greater than that of your skin, and with the blood vessels so close to the surface to aid in the transfer of oxygen and carbon dioxide, that is where you lose the most body heat. Richard Petty was one of the first if not the first to figure this out. Imagine driving a race car with no air conditioning in the middle of the summer on black asphalt and sitting behind a high performance engine and blazing hot exhaust pipes, on top of wearing a full body suit to protect you from fire if you get involved in a crash and the car catches on fire. It's extremely hot and taxing on the body to drive for a few hours like this, on top of fighting the steering wheel. Anyway, Richard Petty put a cooler of ice in the back of his race car and ran a tube that circulated air across the ice in the cooler and through his helmet so he was constantly breathing in cold air to help keep his body temperature down. If you get cold in the winter, cover your nose and mouth with your shirt and rebreathe some of the warm air and you'll warm up quickly. I do this at night with my covers. I run cold at night and like it a bit warmer, but my wife is the opposite and last night she had the window unit set at 63 degrees and had her legs hanging out from under the covers. Me, I was under my blanket and breathing warm air for a little heat boost before shutting down Minecraft and going to sleep. The human body is amazing...both in how tough it is and how fragile.

[@papalevies]

Largest by what measure? Weight? Volume? Length? Surface area? Btw the nurse was onto something, the small intestine is about 7m, the height of a 2 floor building, and it's surface area the size of a tennis court.

Gravitational constant is a fixed value, right? So the force that pulls two masses together (gravity?) is a function of two masses, not just one. So it's not really the Sun's gravity... it's the force generated by masses of both the Sun and the Earth. Yes, I guess I'm picky. But I hate when people make fun of other people using inaccurate "facts".

Both you and earth are trying to travel to the same spot so we are pushing on each other

[@rabmcnair4488]

The force of gravity is an attractive force, so yes the earth is pulling the sun and the sun is pulling the earth. However, because these forces are in opposite directions you would find the resultant and as the sun has a far greater pull than the earth, we can say that the sun's gravitational pull keeps the earth in orbit around the sun. However the earth's angular momentum also plays its part in keeping the earth in orbit around the sun because without that the earth would crash into the sun.

You have to take into account how much time has passed and new scientific discoveries. Science textbooks will always change, sometimes from one year to the next. Sometimes, it's one day to the next. If you went to school on Aug. 23, 2006, Pluto was the 9th planet. On Aug. 24, it wasn't a planet at all. For fun, I was reading a book Isaac Asimov published in 1950 about space travel. It was nonfiction and made some very good observations about space and how space travel might be conducted in the future (remember, Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite didn't launch until 1957). A lot of it, however, was either wildly optimistic, or just plain wrong. It's understandable, given our knowledge of the universe at that time. Even the question Jay asked about how many oceans there are is now up for debate depending upon who you listen to. The scientific community in most countries now recognize a fifth ocean, the Southern Ocean, surrounding Antarctica. Science changes daily.

+saltylures No, like I said, it's momentum. Centripetal force counteracts gravity so it's a wash. But momentum keeps it in orbit.

[@alapanbanerjee7106]

+hyzercreek Nope a bit wrong there mate. Momentum is defined as the product of the mass and velocity of an object. Momentum is produced as a result of the earth moving according to a velocity vector perpendicular to the gravitational force vector that attracts it towards the sun, and therefore is NOT the cause of the earth's motion, but a product of it. The reason that the earth orbits around the sun, simply put has to do with a combined effect of its sideways velocity and the gravitational pull of the sun which skews its path and makes it into an orbit.
