6 things we've all heard about but never seen before

If you think about it, there are quite a few words and phrases that we all often hear and even use in speech, but we have no idea how it looks like what these words mean. In other words, we have a very vague idea of ​​these objects. Fortunately, today information is much easier to find, and we can see and learn hundreds of times more! For example, now we will add visualization and show how some mysterious things look that we all heard about, but never saw.

Black box

No matter how strange it may sound, the flight recorders, which everyone calls black boxes, are actually orange and round.

Mastodon

Mastodons lived before mammoths, but they look very similar to them. These are woolly giants with huge tusks.

Gibraltar

This is a small British territory with an area of ​​about 7 square kilometers, located in the south of the Iberian Peninsula. Gibraltar is both a country, a city and a peninsula. English is spoken here, and the currency is pounds.

Bitcoins

Of course, bitcoins are a digital currency that does not have a physical equivalent, you say. However, the company Casascius Bitcoin Mint in 2011 began to issue tokens and cards, which are "money bitcoins."

Ivory tail

If you ask you to describe the tail of an elephant, then most will find it difficult to do so. Something plain and small and inconspicuous will come to mind. In fact, the tail of an elephant is quite a remarkable detail. It is covered with long bristles and looks very interesting. African people use ivory-tailed hairs to make bracelets.

The Large Hadron Collider

We all heard about this mysterious experimental object, which is located on the border of Switzerland and France, near Geneva, but few people saw it in reality. In simple terms, the Hadron Collider is a 27-kilometer closed pipe located underground, inside which elementary particles accelerate and collide to show how they break up into even smaller fragments.
