Saccadic masking, also known as (visual) saccadic suppression, is the phenomenon in visual perception where the brain selectively blocks visual processing during eye movements in such a way that neither the motion of the eye (and subsequent motion blur of the image) nor the gap in visual perception is noticeable to the viewer. Im not afraid to use google or Wikipedia
1. 11 days is 950400 seconds (not quite a million), 31 years is 978285600 seconds (not quite a billion)
2. The Karman line defining the border of space is at 62 miles (100 km) altitude (I’ll let you calculate the time based on whatever speed by yourself)
3. Facebook already has plenty of dead people
4. True, but not terribly useful since you wouldn’t know
5. Many bathtubs would float on water, provided they weren’t full
6. True (see comment by “stoner”)
7. Delayed by at least the speed of light times the distance to the object or event, plus the time it takes for the retinal receptors to fire and the nerve impulses to reach the brain and be interpreted
8. If you could focus from that far away
9. The number of possible permutations (arrangements) for a deck of cards is 52 factorial, roughly 8.066x10^67
10. Which wavelength of the light of day? They certainly see some of the infrared from the sun.
11. Roughly true… pyramids: 2560-2540 BC / mammoths: approx. 2000 BC

I think you may have missed the point on 5. Its opposite because in a boat it has no water in it but is in water and a tub has water in it but its not in water
Fuck off deck of cards. There are hundreds of casinos shuffling thousands of decks every day. I can't imagine they haven't gone through them all by now.
Why not? They existed 65 million years ago and if you were somehow able to see a close up of the earth from 65 million light years away there would seem to be dinosaurs on the earth because you would see the reflection of the light from 65 million years ago
