Scary Science Facts Most People Don’t Think About

Science is fun and informative, but it’s also horribly scary. There are invisible dangers all around us — ancient viruses locked away in glaciers waiting to defrost, zombie proteins that cause cows to go mad. Yeah, this stuff is pretty wild. If you’d rather remain blissfully unaware, we don’t blame you in the slightest, but for the morbidly curious, the kind people at r/AskReddit took some time to detail some of science’s scariest facts that we don’t often talk about. Did you know that 50 percent of insects have disappeared in the last half-century? Did you even want to know that? 

Scientists don’t know exactly how over-the-counter medication like Acetaminophen works to relieve pains and fevers, but we use it anyway. Isn’t that just fun? What could be more fun than learning about how many nuclear devices have been lost and never recovered?
