21 People Who Failed So Hard They Actually Taught Us Science

    What did they hypothesize was going to happen?

    1. Lesson: Water can freeze into a hard solid called "ice."

    2. Lesson: Earth pulls down on objects with a force called "gravity."

    3. Lesson: Fire is a rapid chemical reaction that is both hot and burns.

    4. Lesson: Metal conducts electricity.

    5. Lesson: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

    6. Lesson: An object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

    7. Lesson: Air rises in water because it's less dense (this includes farts).

    8. Lesson: What goes up, must come down.

    9. Lesson: Hydrogen is flammable.

    10. Lesson: Water is fluid.

    11. Lesson: Centripetal force makes the body follow a curved path.

    12. Lesson: When the stress exceeds the strength of an object, it breaks.

    13. Lesson: Waves move energy.

    14. Lesson: Because of inertia, objects move in a constant direction at a constant speed.

    15. Lesson: Water is a liquid that becomes slippery in its solid state.

    16. Lesson: The more mass a moving object has, the more momentum it carries.

    17. Lesson: Energy is transferred, never destroyed.

    18. Lesson: Glass is a transparent solid.

    19. Lesson: Objects with less density than water will always float on water.

    20. Lesson: Unbalanced forces can cause objects to start moving, stop moving, or change direction.
