By Andrew Alpin, 25 February 2018

How much truth or falsehood exists in the world is difficult to say. How can we define truth because yesterday’s lie has become today’s truth and vice versa. Is truth an evolution of thought or is it that which comes from the soul. Pure truth is what results from an individual’s heart spoken as a condition and revelation of mindset, the rest is all hogwash and that can be seen here entirely by these facts which show how life tricks us every day.

6The safest way to pour juice from a carton is the most difficult one

Ever tried this, it’s the most common way that people will think up first but it isn’t the best way neither is it convenient. Science explains that if the carton is full and we pour from the top, the juice won’t cover the entire opening and there is a balance of air pressure in the surrounding atmosphere resulting in a smooth flow of the juice because of gravity but when you tilt the carton at an upwards angle, the juice covers the entire opening creating a conflicting action between air pressure and atmosphere causing the juice to flow back in which is why the juice doesn’t flow uniformly.
