There are many reasons why it takes three months to climb up Mount Everest. The first reason It takes so long to climb Mount Everest is that the first week is used to arrive at base camp. then you will spend 4 to 5 weeks climbing up and back down the mountain to create camps with food, fuel, and oxygen. The other reason why they climb up and down is to adjust or acclimatize to the altitude and oxygen. On most climbs, it's the Sherpas( those are people who are there to guide the climber) who do the heavy carrying so you can adjust your body to the high altitude. However, you still have to carry your 20lb to 30lb backpack with your personal gear. Also, the adjustment process cannot be rushed. Next, the summit push will take about 1 week, then finally it will take you 4 to 6 days to get back home!!

Some more facts about Mount Everest include: Mount Everest is 60 million years old and the first people to climb Mount Everest were Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay. Mount Everest is 29,030 ft tall, and 4,000 people have climbed Mount Everest. It costs $35,000 dollars to climb Mount Everest. Some of the costs you will need to buy are Oxygen bottles and equipment for you and the Sherpa, which will cost you $11,000 dollars. Then you will need to pay the Nepal government's fee which is another $11,000 dollars!!

Most people think that there are only three states of matter, solid, liquid and gas. Actually, there are 6 states of matter according to Nasa. The six states of matter are: Solid, Liquid, Gas, Plasma, Bose-Einstein Condensate and Fermionic Condensate. Bose-Einstein condensate was first predicted in 1924–1925 by Satyendra Nath Bose and Albert Einstein. Bose-Einstein Condensate atoms gather together but Fermionic Condensate atoms do not like to gather together. Bose-Einstein condensate was confirmed in 1995 and then Fermionic Condensate was discovered in 1995 in space by a group from Nasa.
