Cool Fact

I learned the most interesting thing in physics a while ago. You see, because of air resistance, every object has what we call a terminal velocity. This means that you can only reach a certain speed - air won't let you get any faster. Believe it or not, most insects and some small rodents actually have such a low terminal velocity that they can fall from virtually any height and be unharmed.

Pretty neat, huh?
