Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    What kind of small objects composes much of the universe?

    • A. 

      Atoms

    • B. 

      Dark matter

    • C. 

      Anti-matter

    • D. 

      Monster energy

    Correct Answer
    B. Dark matter
    Explanation
    Dark matter is the correct answer because it is a type of matter that is hypothesized to exist in the universe, although it cannot be directly observed. It does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it invisible. However, its presence can be inferred through its gravitational effects on visible matter. Dark matter is believed to make up a significant portion of the universe, playing a crucial role in the formation and evolution of galaxies and the large-scale structure of the cosmos.

    Give an example of a decapod.

    • A. 

      They don't exist

    • B. 

      Crab

    • C. 

      Beetle

    • D. 

      Lizards

    • E. 

      Unicorns

    Correct Answer
    B. Crab
    Explanation
    A decapod is a type of crustacean that has ten legs. Crabs are one of the most well-known examples of decapods. They have a hard exoskeleton, a pair of claws, and a body that is divided into a cephalothorax and an abdomen. They are commonly found in oceans, seas, and other bodies of water, and are known for their sideways walking and ability to regenerate lost limbs.

    What's the shape of the Earth?

    • A. 

      Round

    • B. 

      Flat

    • C. 

      Has no shape

    • D. 

      Spheroid

    Correct Answer
    D. Spheroid
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Spheroid". This is because the Earth is not a perfect sphere, but rather an oblate spheroid. It is slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator due to its rotation. This shape is a result of the Earth's gravity pulling the mass towards the center, causing it to be compressed at the poles and expanded at the equator.

    Which is a hypothetical string theory weightless particle?

    • A. 

      Graviton

    • B. 

      Earth Worm Jim

    • C. 

      Anti-matter

    • D. 

      Baryonic Matter

    Correct Answer
    A. Graviton
    Explanation
    A graviton is a hypothetical particle in string theory that is believed to be responsible for carrying the force of gravity. It is considered weightless because it does not have mass. While the other options mentioned are not weightless particles, the graviton fits the description of a hypothetical string theory particle that is weightless.

      No

    • D. 

      It looks like two joined circles. 

    Correct Answer
    B. Yes, they do!
    Explanation
    The given answer states that South America and Africa do fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. This suggests that the landmasses of South America and Africa can be aligned and connected in a way that resembles the interlocking pieces of a puzzle.

    • A. 

      Xenomorph

    • B. 

      Fish in trees

    • C. 

      Headcrab

    • D. 

      Grunt Helms

    Correct Answer
    B. Fish in trees
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Fish in trees" because fish are aquatic creatures that are adapted to live in water, and trees are terrestrial structures that do not provide the necessary environment for fish to survive. Therefore, the idea of fish living in trees is not biologically possible and is purely fictional.
