If you still think TikTok is a place where teens show how to sing and dance, then it’s time to test your beliefs. This is where we found the profile of Konrad Skotnicki, a TikTok doctor, who talks in an accessible way about the science and the very complex processes that happen on Earth.
Konrad has prepared a test that will completely change your view of time. Did you know that Cleopatra lived closer to the day of landing on the moon than when the Egyptian pyramids were built? Not only will this fact surprise you. Score above 6 is a good level!
1. The oldest Polish tree is:
Yew from Henryków
next question
Although Oak Bartek is the most famous tree in Poland, it is less than 700 years old, compared to Henryków (about 1,300 years old), it is an adolescent.
2 – The oldest living shark was born at:
When Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet
When Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet
next question
The oldest sharks ever discovered are around 400 years old, according to a 2016 study in the journal Science.
3. How many days was the last year in the time of the dinosaurs:
Approximately. 370
next question
The Earth’s rotation around its axis slows down over time, because we “pull” the Moon with us. In the days of the dinosaurs, the Earth was spinning faster, which means that more of these revolutions (days) were in one revolution (i.e., a year) around the sun.
4. How many years did it take humanity to make the technological leap from the first flight to the moon landing?
66 years
next question
The Wright brothers’ first flight took place in 1903 and lasted an astounding 12 seconds. (The second flight for the day is already 59 seconds). The landing on the moon took place in 1969.
5. What is older than the heyday of the Aztec civilization:
Copernicus’ works revolve around the fact that the earth revolves around the sun
Columbus’s Journey to America
Oxford university
next question
Teaching at Oxford began nearly 300 years before the height of the Aztec civilization, which many think is as old as the Egyptian pyramids (which is not true). The heyday of this civilization did not come until the end of the fourteenth century AD
6. How long does it actually take for the Earth to rotate on its axis, which we consider a day?
23 hours 56 minutes
next question
The Earth rotates on its axis in 4 minutes less than 24 hours. But for the sake of simplicity, the merchandise is supposed to last 24 hours.
7. Who can talk to Queen Elizabeth II:
With Cyprien Camille Norweed
with Józef Piłsudski
next question
Despite the popular opinion that Elizabeth II is older than her time, she was actually born in 1926, so in the year of Piłsudski’s death, she was 9 years old. Marx died in 1883, just like Noride.
8. What will aliens living on a planet 65 million light years away from us see if they look at Earth through a telescope next Saturday?
Mata Concert at Bemowo . Airport
There are definitely no foreigners
dinosaurs
next question
If they had a high-tech telescope, they would be able to see dinosaurs. A light-year is a unit of distance measurement, and a light-year is the distance light travels in one year. Light reflected from the bodies of dinosaurs now travels through space and is 65 million light-years away from Earth.
9. What can slow the passage of time relatively:
Nothing, time always flows the same way
Close to the black hole
Use a cleansing diet
Close to the black hole
next question
When we approach a black hole, time appears to us to flow in the same way, but to an external observer (eg from Earth) it appears to slow down. This is well shown in the movie “Interstellar”.
10. How much light does it take to reach Earth from the surface of the sun?
Too little to measure
8 minutes 20 seconds.
next question
We see all distant astronomical objects with a certain delay. This means that if the sun suddenly disappeared, we would still see it on Earth for more than 8 minutes.
11. How many years ago were the nineties:
10 years ago and always will be
Young Leosia wasn’t around in the ’90s, so it doesn’t matter
I don’t know, I’ll watch “Friends”
I don’t know, I’ll watch “Friends”
next question
There is no correct answer. This is a joke circulating on TikTok from the Millennials vs Gen Z series.
Echo Richards embodies a personality that is a delightful contradiction: a humble musicaholic who never brags about her expansive knowledge of both classic and contemporary tunes. Infuriatingly modest, one would never know from a mere conversation how deeply entrenched she is in the world of music. This passion seamlessly translates into her problem-solving skills, with Echo often drawing inspiration from melodies and rhythms. A voracious reader, she dives deep into literature, using stories to influence her own hardcore writing. Her spirited advocacy for alcohol isn’t about mere indulgence, but about celebrating life’s poignant moments.
