 Both rose hips and rose petals are edible. Roses are in the same family as apples and crabapples, so the resemblance of their fruits is not purely coincidental.

 It is theoretically possible to travel back and forth in time. Two physicists developed a mathematical model for a time machine based on Einstein’s theory of relativity (which was proven in 2015), that gravitational fields are caused by distortions in the fabric of space and time. What’s holding us back is that the technology that can physically bend this space-time fabric hasn’t been invented yet.

 Of all the natural substances found on the planet, the diamond has the highest melting point. At 1 atmosphere it will not melt. It burns though turning into a vapor. To melt a diamond (turn it into liquid form) you need super high heat (5000K) and massive pressure (99,000 atmospheres) BTW - 1 atmosphere = 14.7 psi Last edited by Lee Stewart; 08-05-2018 at 08:20 AM.

 The largest flying animal was the Pterosaur which lived 70 million years ago. This reptile had a wing span of 36-39 feet and weighed 190-250 pounds. To give you some prospective on that wingspan, an F-18 Hornet has a wingspan of 40 feet 4 inches
