Crazy experiments

Admittedly, experimentation and experimentation are an important mandatory step not to be ignored in bringing humanity to new heights. But there are also many experiments that people later realized that it was crazy and silly. Not only does it not help the development of science, it can sometimes have serious consequences .

The 10 most crazy "science experiments" in history

1. This man's head is plugged into her neck

The 50s and 60s of the last century were the golden age of science. People at that time began space exploration, watching television and saw the charming twisting pattern of DNA sequences. In 1954, the first organ transplant (a kidney) in successful people opened up hopes for transplantation . But perhaps due to illusions on their success, anatomists have thought of grafting . human heads.

Earlier, hundreds of dogs and monkeys had to be "sacrificed" as experiments because humans were always fascinated by the idea of ​​regaining life after being executed by guillotine and had a few successful cases. . However, there is a big gap in success from animal success to success with human body. In order to implement the idea of grafting heads - which later many newspapers called it "illusory" and "crazy", in 1985, the Medical Research Institute in Kyev (Russia) conducted the first graft of a scholar. They had terminal bone cancer that grafted into the neck of a notorious executed executioner. This event is highly controversial in the scientific world.

2. 'Love' in space

Spatial experiments are often quite strange, from blowing up mischievous chimpanzees when putting them in orbit to making super-light, ultra-small meals . and space sex . In 2000, French astronomer Pierre Kohler stirred up newspapers when he revealed in his book - "The Last Mission" - that NASA studied the feasibility of applying 10 poses "love." "In the space shuttle's weak gravity environment in 1996. Not to be outdone, Russians are also said to have carried out tests involving" human pairing "on space.

Studies on the influence of the outer space on human reproductive systems are probably nothing new. From the first journeys, people had doubts about how the flight to orbit would affect human fertility. Russian scientists paid special attention to the pregnancy of female astronaut Valentina Tereshkova in 1964. After returning from orbit, Tereshkova married her colleague Andreyan Nikolayev and soon conceived. The world's first baby has parents who fly into space. Their daughter was very healthy.

A lot of money has been spent on this silly experiment but the scientists' work has not yielded much benefit to humans. So, the media called it a "throwing money through the spacecraft" window.

3. But "super" warrior

"Sleepless Warrior" is one of the major projects deployed by the Pentagon since the mid-50s of the last century. Accordingly, in order to create warriors who do not sleep all day and night in prolonged battles, the US Department of Defense's Advanced Research Planning Department has experimented with modafinil - a drug that stimulates the central region. nervous, making people stay awake for 40 hours. Not only that, the agency also sponsors the study of many unusual anti-drowsiness measures such as using electromagnetism to stimulate the brain and eliminate fatigue.

In addition, to give warriors the ability to protect themselves in fierce environmental conditions, not infectious diseases, resist the effects of biochemical weapons and withstand high altitudes and high temperatures. The Pentagon also experimented with a project to create body armor. If successful, the warriors will have some supernatural abilities such as flying above as high as birds, diving underwater like sea lions .

However, the Pentagon's dream has not been completed yet, so it has created many soldiers with mental illness and stress because of the crazy experiments mentioned above.

4. Vaccine against biological weapons

During the Cold War period , the US Army mobilized a total of 2,300 people to participate in the biocontrol campaign. After being injected with the vaccine, the participants recalled that they had suffered severe pain lasting several days as if someone had broken their spine, accompanied by hot fever, cold fever. Confidential documents also showed that the experiment was conducted in Maryland state from 1954 to 1973 and there were many deaths.

5. Inject radioactive material into the body

When World War II was about to end, scientists were keen to delve deeper into the harmful levels of radioactive elements for the human body. On April 10, 1945, plutôni was injected into a body injured by an automobile accident to study the mechanism of removing radioactive substances from the human body. Later, more than 400 similar experiments were also conducted, including radioactive therapy experiments for cancer patients, with the amount of radiation taken into different human bodies. So far, it has not been reported how many people have become victims of this experiment.

6. Riding a rocket car

Before using rocket boosters to bring yachts and people into space, the US Aerospace Agency has researched and manufactured a pressure-reducing sled, with speeds up to hundreds of kilometers per hour. Participating in the experiment with a pressure-reducing sledge starting in 1954 was John Stamp Colonel, surgical doctor. When the speed reached 1,010km / hour, Stamp was under pressure equivalent to 35 times the gravity of the earth. As a result, Stamp suffered injuries all over his body, not only breaking the ribs, extending his wrists, flying "strikers" , but also breaking his blood vessels in his eyes and concussion.

7. Spraying nerve agents

The threat of biochemical warfare caused the Pentagon to implement Plan 112 in the 1960s and 1970s. One of its contents was to spray nerve agents like Sarin and VX into thousands and rows. Ten thousand naval soldiers to check the toxin cleaning sequence and safety measures. In 2002, the US Department of Defense published details of this plan. Later, the Retired Military Administration Department investigated the possibility of injuries among soldiers participating in this experiment.

8. Cat spy

In the 1960s, during the Cold War, espionage activities were among the many scouts of the two governments of the United States and the Soviet Union.

At that time the CIA spent $ 10 million (about 208 billion VND) and 5 years to train a spy cat (known as Acoustic Kitty).

In addition to training, they implanted a wiretapping device into the cat; it's a battery-powered antenna that is implanted inside the tail of a poor cat.

After some surgery on the device to listen and control the hungry feeling of the animal, during an experiment on the street, the cat plunged into a taxi and died on the spot.

Will the cat's death be an accident or an act of sacrifice to end a bizarre and cruel program? Americans don't know anything about the experiment until the relevant documents are revealed in 2001.

9. Two-headed dog

In 1900, scientist Charles Guthrie successfully experimented with two-headed dog implants.

During the cold war, two Russian scientists AG Konevsky and Vladimir Demikhov continued to improve Charles's experiment.

10. The turkey paired with the scarecrow

In 1960, Martin Schein and Edgar Hale tested the pairing process of an empty turkey with the same female model .

They demonstrate that turkeys are attracted only to the head of the hens during the pairing period.
