Great twentieth-century science myths

 Last year, hundreds of articles were published by several reputable scientific journals that were either fraudulent or simply full of nonsense. These magazines let us know that we exist for ads, or strictly private reasons, in an era of deception and subterfuge. Here are several of recent history's most popular science myths.

Mysterious rings of crops

Scientists and ufologists have defended the thesis that enigmatic loops in the grain are created by travelers from space. Therefore, several scholars believed that crop circles could not be constructed by human hands until some adventurers took a few bits of wood, rope and wire and created amazing circles and patterns in the grain.

Nacirema Nacirema

One anthropological work claimed that there is a tribe that ritually cuts its faces with sharp objects on the territory of the USA. It turned out, though, that the name of the tribe was incorrectly pronounced AMERICAN, and that the practices were only shaving.

The best scam of the month

An essay about how it is possible to see humans and unicorns live a harmonious life on the Moon with the aid of telescopes was published by the New York Sun in 1853. In order to be persuaded of the fact of the film, many misguided individuals believed in the story and purchased all the telescopes in shops.

Timber Spaghetti

The BBC published an essay in 1957 about how there is a tree where spaghetti grows. More and less spaghetti rose on the tree over time, which was not helped by the uprising of the Italian colonists who rebelled against such news.

Archaeoraptor, Archaeoraptor

A photo of a skeleton discovered in China was published by National Geographic magazine with the title: The lost link between dinosaurs and birds. It was established, after careful study and evaluation, that it was a scam composed of fossils of many distinct organisms.

The 12-571-3570 Document

It is a text that speaks about studies on the genders of space astronomers and that appears to have discovered the right pose for a relationship that is weightless. These arguments have been refuted by NASA and it was never verified that this is real analysis.

Flyer for Defense

This leaflet was circulated in Europe and included a list of cancer-causing E numbers, such as that for citric acid. When over seven million individuals avoided buying those types of cheese and mustard, the scam was uncovered.

Tasaday's tribe

He paid a small number of people to play an undiscovered tribe, photographed them and made a story for Philippine Government Officer Manuel Elizalde Jr. He visited the whole world in 1983 and raised 35 million to safeguard the tribe. Luckily, they found him...

Around the same time, 16 nurses in the hospital became pregnant

 Sixteen nurses are pregnant at a hospital in the city of Mesa, in the U.S. federal state of Arizona. It is ten percent of the intensive care unit's staff.

The nurses joked at today's press conference that the hospital had something in the water and that they should have arranged a collective Christmas holiday.

One of the pregnant women, Rochelle Sherman, who is giving birth in a month, said that we didn't even know that there were so many pregnant women until we formed a community on Facebook's social network.

All suggests, according to her, that there is an understanding.

In order to bribe Heaven, he demanded to be buried with money to

 Uganda's fifty-two-year-old Charles Obong asked his wife to bury him with a large amount of money to bribe God, and asked him to forgive him for all his sins with that money.

Charles Obong worked as a senior ministry official, so he raised money to carry to the grave with him for years. The details that Charles ordered that his wife bury him with approximately $60,000 was confirmed by his son-in-law.

In exchange for the redemption of the sins he had done when he was alive, he intended to give money to Heaven. For a long time, Charles had health issues, so when they met on Judgment Day, he spent the last days of his life planning what and how to tell God.

He was buried in a very expensive coffin in the north of Uganda, but his happiness did not last long, given that the tomb was quickly excavated and robbed.

The three couples were neighbours and did not know each other

 To boost the logistics of his triple marriage, the Chinese man (36), who became affluent through the real estate trade, spent the newly obtained capital by purchasing houses for all his wives in the same place so that he did not have to drive too far.

From 2015 to 2017, Mr. Zhang married all the women and put them in a one-kilometer radius so that they did not know about each other, and a hole in the administration made the entire operation possible. Namely, it turned out that the same account was not used by various provinces, so the registrars were not aware of the situation.

In each union, the ambitious Chinese had one child and wanted to spend as much time with them as possible, but even though they lived close by, it was not easy because he changed addresses 10 days a week.

For a bit, because he conveniently made money for three households, everything went well, but the juggling stopped when the second wife grew suspicious after the messages were found on Zhang's phone and wanted to accompany him on a business trip. Since her husband stopped in the area, she did not have to go far.

It was followed by a divorce, and he was sued by the other two sisters, but amid all that, they said he was really loving and cautious. They even thanked him every time after dinner for cleaning the dishes.

In November last year, an indictment was filed against Zhang. The trial is now nearing a conclusion, and for polygamy, he faces two years in jail. He also maintains that he did not realize it was prohibited and wishes that at least one woman would forgive him after his release and stick with him.

For good luck, he flung coins into the aircraft

 A passenger of the Chinese low-cost airline Lucky Air put some coins into the engine of the aircraft before boarding the flight from Anqing to Kunming to offer good luck to himself and other passengers.

For his actions, a certain Lou will now have to pay a price. That is to say, the engineers noticed some coins in the engine, and they saw that there were more embedded in the process itself as soon as they began.

While in many parts of the world, tossing coins for good luck is a tradition, this activity is incredibly risky in this situation. Severe damage and even complete engine loss may be caused by the coins.

The flight was canceled, and the airline reported that the coins had caused $20,000 in damage, with a flight cancellation for 160 passengers.

A passenger who has now spent seven days in jail has been sued by Lucky Air.
