The Internet Asks: Can radiation really give humans mutant powers like in the comics?

Source: Quora.com

Science’s Answer: Please don’t expose yourself to radiation in an attempt to gain mutant powers. Just don’t do it – I can’t stress this enough. People are exposed to radiation all the time, mostly natural sources like ultraviolet radiation from the sun or radon from the earth, but also man-made sources like x-rays, and nuclear waste. These people never get super powers. Do you know what they get? They get cancer. And that’s not a superpower, despite what you might have learned from “The Fault In Our Stars.”

The Internet Asks: What is the largest Big Foot ever captured?

Source: Yahoo Answers  

Science’s Answer: If you are referring to the mythical “Bigfoot” or the “Yeti”, the answer is 0’0.” This might seem hard to believe since there is a TV show based entirely on trying to find Bigfoot that has somehow been on the air for 9 seasons. I’ve never watched it, but I am quite confident they have never found a “Big Foot.” That’s because they don’t exist.  The animal with the largest foot is (not surprisingly) the elephant. Elephants do exist.

The Internet Asks: If fire needs oxygen, where does the sun get oxygen if there’s no oxygen in space?

Source: Quora.com

Science’s Answer: The sun is not made of fire, nor is it on fire. The sun is powered by nuclear fusion, specifically the fusion of two isotopes of hydrogen combining to form helium. This produces a crap-ton of energy, which is why you can feel the heat of the sun on your face even though it’s over 92 million miles away from you.
