Many assumed that the Earth was the nucleus of the universe before science could show that the Earth was orbiting the Sun. Not just that, there are many false truths until science reveals that we assume to be real. Since childhood, we have been taught numerous scientific facts informally or inadvertently. And they are all claimed to be real, further verified by engaging with those around them.
Let's discuss the 10 incorrect scientific facts below that we still believe!
1. Lightning does not strike at the same spot twice:
The reality is not so, since the shortest path to the ground is often sought by lightning. Thus, elevated artifacts such as trees and Tall buildings are more likely to be hit by lightning because they are higher, and not just once, and of course hitting twice at same spot cannot be ruled out.
Among flowers, only Sunflowers always face the sun
In fact, not only are the sunflowers facing the sun, but almost all the flowers face the sun as well because they can photosynthesize better.
3. When immersed in water, the Fingertips are Wrinkled
The fingertips are always wrinkled during swimming or when soaked for a long time.
This is not because water is sucked from our fingers, But since blood vessels contract, causing the fingertips to tighten. The explanation of why blood vessels are shrinking, however, is not well known, maybe the adaptations of our ancestors to survive in humid environments.
4. The Chewing gum in the stomach needs 7 years to be digestible.
You also learned that chewing gum takes 7 years for it to digest in our stomach and even popularized in "Magic School Bus- a collection of English learning disks for children to help children explore science. If you swallow chewing gum, elders often scare you that chewing gum would enter your intestines and takes up 7 years to digest. The gum, however, is just as difficult to absorb as the insoluble fiber, like any other food, it will move through your digestive tract, the residue will be discharged without nutrients.
And Through feces
5. Goldfish has 5 seconds of memory
We often associate forgetful people with 'goldfish brain' terminology. Although the brain of the goldfish does not expand and has no strong memory, to say goldfish remembers only for a few seconds bit of far fetched. Goldfish, in fact, can remember things for many months.
6. Blood is green in a vein
In the vein that lacks oxygen, the blood returning to the heart is not as blue as we usually see through the eyes but is instead dark red. It clearly shows the strong static blue diagram, but the blue diagram clearly shows the blue diagram. The light distributed across the skin shining and embracing the wavelengths in the "color spectrum" sensor is responsible for the veins we see.
7. When they see red, bulls go nuts.
Gaur and bulls cannot discern colors, so the red in her eyes is all gray.
8. Consuming alcohol makes you feel warm
People who live in cold nations also have a habit of drinking alcohol to help the body get warmer. However, in truth, Just the temperature on your face increases, and
your body temperature decreases when your blood vessels expand,
9. Bats cannot see
Bats are not blind. Only bats use vision to navigate and feed themselves. They use sound waves to search for bait. Hence, their vision is impaired, but not to the point of being blind.
10. People use only 10% of the brain
Just 10 percent of the brain is used by humans, right? You're mistaken! While only a small number of neurons are reflected at any moment, the rest still play an important role.
