Why did people start using paper money?
In the 7th century, during the Tang Dynasty, large merchants began to pay among themselves with paper receipts, leaving metal coins for safekeeping to trusted persons. In the 10th century, during the Song Dynasty, when there was a shortage of copper for coins, several of these "depositaries" were assigned the right to issue banknotes.
It was only around 1120 that the central government began to issue its own paper money.

Why don't paper cups get wet?
Most of these paper cups on the outside are covered with a special plastic film inside. And this makes their processing simply impossible. According to statistics, 100,000 animals and 1 million birds die each year because they mistake plastic waste for food.
To contribute to the preservation of the environment, some ask to pour coffee into their thermo mug. And the owners of coffee houses give a discount to such conscious customers.

Why does a person twitch when falling asleep?
We twitch, as a rule, not only falling asleep, but already in a dream. The twitches we feel happen when two parts of the brain are out of sync with each other. The mental part has not completely turned off yet, but the control over the muscles is already asleep.

Why don't we remember how we were born?
A group of scientists believe that the loss of childhood memories is associated with an active process of formation of new cells called neurogenesis. According to Paul Frankland, recent studies have shown that neurogenesis is able to both form and erase information about the past.
We do not remember the first years of life because this time is the most active period of neurogenesis. Then the neurons begin to reproduce at a slower rate and cannot process some of the childhood memories.

Why do we laugh when we hear jokes?
One can argue for a long time on why we laugh, but the object of laughter changes over time and depends on this particular society.
What happens to the listener when a joke is told? The left brain kicks in, starting to analyze the joke intellectually. Then the right hemisphere joins in, trying to find some common patterns of behavior in the joke (injuries to the left hemisphere of the brain sometimes lead to a complete inability to perceive humor).
Brain activity extends to the area of the brain responsible for processing information from our senses. Delta brain waves are generated.
Finally, the wave reaches its maximum when we understand the joke - and here we are already starting to giggle.

Why is everything green in night vision devices?
In traditional night vision devices (not thermal imagers), the light entering the lenses is converted into shades of black and white, and only when it hits the phosphor screen, it acquires greenish tones. The green gamut was chosen for two reasons: firstly, the human eye is most susceptible to waves of this particular wavelength, and secondly, it tires the eyes less than others during prolonged exposure.
For the same reason, early monochrome monitors were also green.

Why are onions and garlic natural antibiotics?
As well as artificial antibiotics, onions and garlic have antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and bactericidal properties. And most importantly, the last property is valid for all types of pathogens. That is why, in terms of the degree of therapeutic effect, antibiotics sold in pharmacy chains cannot compete with them.
These properties are inherent in them due to the high content in them of such substances as phytoncides (volatile ether compounds), flavonoids and allicin. Also, their bulbs contain a wide range of vitamins and minerals.

Why is it impossible to increase the height of an adult?
There is a chance to stretch out a couple of centimeters, hanging on the crossbar or swimming for a long time. But this effect is reversible. It is possible to radically and permanently increase height only by lengthening the lower limbs with the help of devices such as the Ilizarov apparatus.
This technology involves artificial fractures or incisions in the bones of the legs, which is painful and immobilizes for a long time.

Why does an owl have the largest head angle of any animal?
Birds rotate their heads extremely freely due to the articulation of their spine with the skull. They have one occipital condyle, not two like mammals.
A condyle is a ball-shaped end of a bone that fits into a depression in another bone to form a joint. In addition, birds have a long, flexible neck with 11 to 23 movable vertebrae. Such a device reaches its limit in an owl: its head can rotate approximately 270 degrees in each direction.
Thus, the total range of rotational movements of the owl's head is one and a half full turns.
