For more than 17 years, silver-haired mathematics professor Jean Branden Broeck, 47, working at the University of East Anglia, has done thousands of calculations and molded a tea pot. . pouring out of water. This strange $ 72,000 project is funded by US Customs, the US Air Force and the American Science Association. However, it is not a unique scientific research.
The belly of the universe
In a tiny little navel, it has so many names: 'concave' (according to the Romans), 'the center' (according to the Greeks). The Greeks erected a magic stone at Temple of Apollo at Delphi on Parnassus hill, and called it 'The belly of the universe'. The expression 'enjoy the navel' has a long history of respect. From ancient times, people with mystical powers in Greece either stared at their navel to create a dreamy hypnosis. However, it is not always possible to see the umbilical cord as a sacred art of thinking, because just by glancing at the right woman, how many children can be born (by counting the number of knots - that is protruding flesh in the umbilical folds when the baby girl is born).
However, psychologist Gerhard Reibmann (Germany) believes that the umbilical cord may speak many other things, such as life expectancy, overall health and psychological condition. All of this was presented in the book entitled 'Understanding yourself through the navel'. According to him, there are 6 types of umbilical cord; each type has its own personality characteristics along with life expectancy. Horizontal umbilical cord is a rich emotional person, who is 68 years old; Straight umbilical cord is a generous, confident, upright person who is 75 years old; protruding navel is full of love, warm, 72 years old; concave navel, love a lot, suffer a lot of suffering so only live up to 65 years old; eccentric umbilical cord is a person who is amused, or goes the wrong way in emotional matters should live 70 years; after all, the navel is the one who has a peaceful and humble emotional life and lives . 81 years old! What if your umbilical cord meets the factors of more than 6 types of navel above? So easy, Gerhard recommends adding up all the ages, then dividing by the total number of navel types to find the average life expectancy. Thus, those over 100 years of age must have a navel more than the category of circles (!).
But the fun thing about the navel hasn't stopped yet. The theologians do not stop arguing about Mr. Adam - because being the first man in the world whose parents are not mortals, it is definitely impossible to have navel. So how did the artists of 500 years ago handle this problem? Some artists used a strategy of camouflage with a fig leaf, a branch or an arm across it. But the more brave painters like Raphael or Michelangelo give him Adam a navel .
The umbilical cord is so important that it seems that very few people take a bath, rub it. Therefore, on September 10, 2000, the South China Morning Post published a new Japanese invention. That's the patch to clean the navel! You just need to stick it to your navel, then take it out after 10 minutes.
More than 720,000 USD for the study of tea pots cannot be filled with water
Information about unique tea pots.
For more than 17 years, silver-haired mathematics professor Jean Branden Broeck, 47, working at the University of East Anglia, has done thousands of calculations and molded a tea pot. . pouring out of water. This work was funded by US Customs, the US Air Force and the American Scientific Association, because the results of the work will answer the question of the resistance of the hull to the waves.
According to the professor, all types of tea pots are in danger of watering in two directions: one is flowing neatly from the tap into the cup, and the other is flowing from the mouth of the jar. The trick is that you don't know in which direction the water will flow. Professor Jean is still wringing his brain for this utopian project.
The impact of beer, garlic and sour cream on the palate of . platter?
The Norwegian Medical Association magazine published a study on the protective effect of garlic on the risk of vampires, which in particular were tested with leeches. For a long time, leeches have been used in microsurgery techniques to draw blood for swollen body parts due to re-implantation.
Sometimes leeches are lazy, do not work (bite into the skin for 300 seconds in anticipation), so Anders Baerheim and Sandvik Hogne have to experiment with many stimulant therapies for them. First, 6 leeches are "fast bathed" 3 times with Guinness stout, Hansa bock beer and white water, then placed on the arm. After drinking beer, some leeches change their behavior: turn around, roll and roll. Those who drank Guinness attacked immediately after 187 seconds; Those who drank Hansa beer after 136 seconds; also drink white water is 92 seconds. Going to the second test, 6 other leeches were put on the arm to free or rub sour cream. Those that had sour cream all bitten like crazy into the walls of the jar after being removed from their hands, even faster than when drinking white water. To test part 3, one arm was rubbed with garlic, but the leeches struggled and died after 2 hours. And for humanitarian reasons, the study is paused here!
Why do frogs use their right hand to scratch their stomachs?
Do all frogs use their right hand to scratch their stomachs? And if so, is this a biological cause, or is it just a "cultural" gesture? For example, in people, there are some people who use their left hand for "unclean actions", and use their right hands for clean actions (such as eating). The question still exists here: What is the brain telling the frog's hand, and which hand is it?
Dalhousie University expert Richard Wassersug has done a study that can be said to explain most of this question. The scientific answer is that frogs have to scratch their abdomen with their right hand because its protruding stomach always pokes out the right part of the mouth. It doesn't make sense for any culture to simply be due to the asymmetry of the abdomen in all amphibians and due to the modest length of the intestinal membrane that is responsible for locating the stomach.
Cat's reaction to photos of people with bushy beards
In 1988, Winthrop Grover Norquist decided to test a cat's reaction to photographs of Robert Bock (Robert was a candidate for the US Supreme Court. The bushy beard was longer than his chin. used to test the reactions of dogs, cats and . flatworms!). In addition, the MIT Museum lent Norquist 71,000 photos of bushy bearded men. After viewing these photos, 26% of cats were stiffened with legs and bodies, including the neck; 31% of cats show neurological disorders, cardiopulmonary obstruction and violent acts. Participants are female cats, aged between 4 and 6 years, of which 15 cats have given birth after being seen. Conclusion here: Cats do not like men for long black beards
