Accidental Or Intentional: Some Of The Best Times People Performed Cool And Wacky Science Experiments

Throughout human history, it’s a well-known fact that some of the most important discoveries happened by accident. Life-changing inventions and discoveries don’t happen all the time, though. If that were the case, a lot would be different these days!

Pumpkins are pretty cool. And they’re even cooler as a science experiment! Halloween is the perfect time for being wacky and wild, so why can’t pumpkins have some fun, too?

We all know that cats are innately inquisitive animals. They can get themselves into a lot of trouble and act as if nothing happened. Also, they can be pretty strange. In this instance, a curious kitty wanted to know what the glowing light was inside that ball. What happened next?

Wow, we had to take a long, hard look at this one! It’s simply incredible and unbelievable this is something a human did. As cool as it is, there’s no way it was accidental – this took some planning for sure. 

This photo is an example of looks being deceiving! Who even thought of such an amazing thing to do? While it really looks like a mirage from a distance, it’s real. The results are actually quite stunning and awe-inspiring. 

This photo is a first-hand snapshot of how beautiful and amazing life can be! We simply can’t believe that somebody was there to capture that moment right in the nick of time. That cute little froggy must have swallowed a firefly and it lit up in his belly. 

The result of this experiment is truly stunning. Apparently, people used to do this a lot when they were kids in the 1950s and 1960s. It didn’t always work because the marble would shatter into pieces, but sometimes the results would be worth the try!

It’s only the truth that nature is the best and most gifted artist. This particular image looks almost too perfect to be real! While most people who took one glance at the photo would think it’s manmade, they’re in for a big surprise. 

Ok, we thought this was a chocolate Kinder egg at first. And now we are craving something sweet to satisfy our crazy sweet tooth! People online saw many different things while looking at this polished coconut. A bowling ball, an Emu egg, a hefty eggplant…

As magnificent as this beach sand looks, it really resembles a giant sand worm in our minds (or truly any kind of sand monster). Have you ever wondered or even thought about sand getting struck by lightning? We certainly haven’t! It’s a stunning phenomenon that really does happen in parts of the world. 

This image is actually quite beautiful, in all of its icy glory. We would not want to be the owner of that home, though. How would they leave? How could they enter? Both seem impossible! And notice how the house on the right is completely unscathed from the ice.

Is this Narnia?! Here’s just another unreal and stunning example of nature doing her best work. This image would also make a really amazing wallpaper for your computer and phone! While your first thought might be “I want to go there,” you may want to think again considering it’s unfathomable how freezing it is!

What does this image look like to you? We think it resembles a bonsai tree or a Japanese ink painting. Even a river branching out that’s been etched into the wood! It isn’t just a wild occurrence – it has an actual name. It’s called a Lichtenberg figure, and it doesn’t only happen when wood is burned at high voltage. When people get struck by lightning, the same result follows.

How did this person just not notice what was growing in their refrigerator? This cabbage looks like a tree and, while it is very cool, it’s impossible to just simply not pay attention to it! Maybe the person just wanted to let it grow so they had an excuse to post it online. You never know these days.

We’re wondering why this person wasted three perfectly good M&Ms on this experiment. Ok, it is really cool looking, we admit. Also, how did the barriers get so straight? Teachers should take note of this experiment because kids will go crazy over it. Calling all science lovers!

This looks like something that could be hung up in a modern art museum. While it’s unfortunate that somebody drove over a kid’s chalk masterpiece, the result is quite magnificent. We can’t help but feel happy as soon as we saw the colors. 

If you ever go golfing, be warned! Lightning could strike a flag on the golf course and you do not want to be anywhere near that sight. All we can say is: Thor was not happy with the results of the golf game!

Truly, this is a pretty sight and is what happens when fog surrounds these wind turbines. Imagine witnessing this from above – it probably seems like you are experiencing some kind of hazy dream.

What a magical sight! We can imagine little fairies and elves dancing on top of this boat and making themselves at home on top of it. It looks like a beautiful painting, although the plants almost look too perfectly placed. 

Now this is without a doubt a skateboarder’s dream! The second we saw this photo we couldn’t help but laugh. It’s just so silly and weird looking! And, it’s funny to imagine what would happen if anybody actually attempted to play a game of basketball on this uneven court – it wouldn’t be easy.

Did your jaw drop as soon as you saw this image? Ours did. It looks exactly like a flawless  crystal ceiling or an ice monster breaking in! Sadly, this person’s patio furniture is totally done for, and can never be used again – they will need to invest in new furniture. 

Upon first glance, the picture that formed in this mug reminds us of a forest or a painting of a forest that Bob Ross did! Ah, there are so many happy little trees and also a lake and some hills. There are many ways a person can view it!

Well, so much for breakfast! This person clearly won’t be eating whatever that is. We think they’re eggs that sadly froze over, as did the pan they were cooked in. It’s unbelievable that this actually happened for somebody to snap a picture of, and that the timing must have been perfect. 

Just don’t say “Beetlejuice” three times in a row! We couldn’t have been the only ones who squirmed and felt a little nauseous when looking at this. Certainly, we would not eat or drink this, but the result is pretty cool. Also, why would anybody just randomly leave beet juice unattended? We have questions…

We’d be fooling ourselves if we didn’t think this bike seat looked exactly like something from the show Is It Cake? What about the entire bike being cake? It very much resembles a beautifully green valley or a little forest growing in your bike seat and a stream flowing through itt! How marvelous. 

We’re not entirely sure who would even come up with the idea to do this, but why not?! Surely, this experiment was likely something a person decided to try out on a whim (or maybe it was a child?) 

It looks like a sea urchin or a really spiky flower. What do you think?! The person that the car belongs to is really unlucky because they won’t be able to get home. Have you ever seen something so incredible? 

Gosh, this sight of extra wrinkly skin immediately makes us shiver. Is there some sort of phobia for this? If so, we definitely have it. How many months was that person in the tub and how long did they fall asleep?

First of all: who would ever leave this on their desk for days and not think to throw it away? As cool as this is, it’s a bit gross! It makes sense as to why bean sprouts are called what they are – this is the result.

This is a sight that probably most people don’t get to witness! Imagine if somebody didn’t find this head of lettuce and it just kept on growing until it reached the clouds. It’s a bit like the fairytale Jack and the Beanstalk, except this version is called Jack and the Cabbage Stalk.
