11 Lies Many People Believe

1 - Carrots are good at sight

Like many foods, but the carrot's exaggerated fame has another reason besides the health benefit. During World War II, the British government did not want the Germans to know that they had radars. To solve the problem, they said that their soldiers had excellent visions because they ate many carrots.

2 - The Great Wall of China is the only man-made monument that can be seen from space.

In fact, several roads and dams can be seen from Earth's orbit.

3 - People of the Middle Ages believed that the earth was flat.

The Greeks calculated the circumference of our planet around 300 BC.

4 - After eating sugar, a person becomes full of energy

In fact, this is just a placebo effect.

5 - Bulls are attracted by the color red

Only not. Bulls, in fact, are color blind. The reason they move toward the bullfighter who is waving the red cloth is the movement of the fabric, not the color. In addition, these animals are usually kept trapped and hungry before bullfighting, so they can act aggressively.

6 - Apple computers are virus immune

In fact, fewer people have Apple computers, so there are still no people interested in producing viruses for these machines.

7 - Chameleons change color to suit the environment

Not either. These animals change color for communication, temperature and light, not camouflage.

8 - Goldfish memory lasts up to 8 seconds

Lie! These little fish have a good memory and can even be trained.

9 - Rabbits love carrots

Just in cartoon anyway. Carrots are bad for rabbits.

10 - You're the fastest sperm

Accept: You were one of the slowest sperm. Yeah. This is because, before a sperm fertilizes the egg, many more sperm are needed to tear the outer layer of the egg and allow the champion to enter, which is possibly the one that burned the start.

11 - Reading in dark environments is bad for your eyesight

Temporarily, yes, because the lack of light tires your eyes and disturbs the focus of vision, but there is no scientific evidence that vision is impaired in the long run.
