'in no way' is false. Completely false.
The amount of intelligence you posess is not connected to the size, but the different types of intelligence are.
For instance, certain mammals (humans, dolphins, and elephants to name a few) have larger brains than other mammals, because they have social intelligence. They have the ability to keep track of the other humans/dolphins/elephants in their life, and how to socialize with them, connect them with memories, and an array of other things.

Just so ya know.

Our sun orbits the center of the Milky Way galaxy once every 250 million years (approximately)

The sun has orbited the center of the galaxy 18 times in its 4.7 billion year lifetime

The sun orbits the center of the galaxy at 447,000 mph

The center of the Milky Way Galaxy is most likely a black hole.

Black holes are invisible.

Time moves slower as speed increases.

Time (on earth) moves faster as altitude increases.

From the perspective of an outside observer time stops moving entirely as an object approaches the center of a black hole.

We see solar eclipses because the moon is about 400 times smaller than the sun, but the sun is about 400 times farther away than the moon.

It takes the same amount of force to bite off your pinkie finger as it does to bite through a baby carrot. Your brain just won't let you do it.

Averted vision works better at night because we have a blind spot, without rod cells, twice the diameter of the full moon.

We can't see deep reds in the dark.

Cone cells in the retina (for day vision) detect red, green, or blue light, so colors like yellow are actually combinations of red, blue, and green.

The earth's axis precesses once every 26,000 years, so in another couple thousand years, we'll have a different north star.

The sun emits primarily green light.

This one I almost can't believe because my sheets on my bed are like blood red and I can always see them, but I have weird eyes so I suppose I'm probably just dividing by zero or something.
