1. Stars Almost Aligned
Hold onto your telescopes because here's a mind-boggling fact that will send your scientific senses into orbit. One member mentions that for a brief period from 1636 to 1642, the legendary astronomer Galileo Galilei could have taught at Harvard University.
The sheer possibility of his brilliance intersecting with the esteemed institute's academic prowess would have been stupendous.
2. A Battle of Minds
Can you believe that the man who would become the epitome of evil and the father of psychoanalysis were both rubbing elbows simultaneously in 1913 in Vienna, Austria? Could Freud have possibly psychoanalyzed Hitler away from his destructive tendencies? Talk about a head-spinning historical twist!
3. Tales from Shells
Harriet the Tortoise, who passed away at the age of 175 in 2006, had not only been a witness to two world wars but had seen the father of evolution, Charles Darwin, in person. One can only imagine the tales told if the tiny fellow could speak.
4. Fries and Fright
It's hard to wrap one's mind around that Auschwitz, with all its dark history, came into existence just a few days before the first-ever McDonald's opening. Talk about stark contrast.
5. Royal Crowns & Glamorous Wigs
Queen Elizabeth and the charming Marilyn Monroe were born in the same year, a mere 42 days apart, shares a user. Who would have pictured two iconic figures from such vastly different backgrounds to be so cosmically connected?
6. Electrifying Time Wrap
It's strange to realize the current president, Joe Biden, was walking, talking, and making history just one day after the enigmatic genius and inventor Nikola Tesla breathed his last breath. The man who gave us wireless communication, alternating current, and countless other groundbreaking innovations may seem to have lived eons ago, but facts say otherwise.
7. A Neighboring Fate
One individual says that the Band of Avon, William Shakespeare, and the Native American princess, Pocahontas, existed in the same timeline! It's even loopier to think they both passed away in the same year, just a hundred miles from one another.
8. When Empires Collide
For a whopping thirty years, the United States of America and the Holy Roman Empire co-existed, mentions a user. That's true! While John Adams signed the Declaration of Independence and George Washington was preoccupied with chopping down Cherry trees, the Empire held on for dear life.
9. The Summer of '69
Hurricane Camille came crashing into the Gulf Coast, destroying everything. Meanwhile, over at Woodstock, concert-goers were soaked by the heavy rain the hurricane brought forth. And if this turmoil wasn't enough, the infamous Charles Manson followers went on a murder spree, sending shock waves throughout the country. It's safe to say the summer of 69 was one wild ride of dreadful incidents.
10. A Stroke of Moonlight
While the world was buzzing about the last man on the moon, Pablo Picasso was still around, creating magnificent art. Contrary to popular belief, Picasso was not an artist from the 1600s or so; in fact, he was quite literally a modern-day artist.
