15 Interesting Random Facts and Information
Hello Friends. Welcome to my channel “Value Creators”
If I tell you that the information traveling inside your brain is moving at 268 miles per hour (430 km/h), then you would say that I should go back and check my statistics. Isn’t it?
Then what you have to say about this, that Norway allows any student from anywhere in the world to study at their public universities completely free of cost.
I know you can’t stop yourself from googling this piece of information to check whether it is correct or not.
But wait, if you have come so far, then I am pretty sure that you are one of those people who enjoy watching unexpected pieces of random facts and information? If so, then prepare yourself to witness 15 more such random fun facts that will blow your mind
So, without further ado. Let’s check it out…

3. Fujitsu Fugaku is a claimed exascale supercomputer, at the RIKEN Centre for Computational Science in Kobe, Japan. It started development in 2014 as the successor to the K computer and is scheduled to start operating in 2021. it is more than twice as powerful as the current supercomputer, IBM Summit. The machine can process 415,000 trillion calculations per second - or 415 petaflops.
4. On the other hand, our brain operates at 1exaFLOP (far more than any supercomputer), which is equivalent to one quintillion (1018) floating-point operations/calculation per second. The human brain is made up of a network of neurons that are random that does not behave in a predictable manner.
5. The brain is the only organ in the human body without pain receptors. The brain itself does not feel pain because there are no nociceptors located in the brain tissue itself. This is the reason why neurosurgeons can operate on brain tissue without causing a patient discomfort, and, in some cases, can even perform surgery while the patient is awake.
