The results prove that: people tend to look according to expectations, meaning that we will see what we want to see. When we see an unclear shape, the brain stimulates the activity of a particular neurological region, allowing us to imagine what we want to see. That's why so many people think they see Jesus or Mary on . toast.

The Ig Nobel Physics Prize belongs to the group of Japanese experts Kiyoshi Mabuchi, Kensei Tanaka, Daichi Uchijima and Rina Sakai. Their award-winning research was published in Tribology in 2012.

Accordingly, the expert group conducted a trial to place 12 different banana peels on the floor and then put volunteers on shoes on that surface. After the experiment, they calculated and obtained the result: friction between the shoe and banana peel is only 20% compared to the friction between the shoe and the normal floor.

With the above results, the expert team likened the 'banana peel' floor to similar snow surface with very small friction coefficient. In the future, this study may open up a new technology for producing surface materials.

Accordingly, experts believe that Lactobacillus gasseri and Enterococcus faecalis play an important role in fermentation of many foods, especially sausages. They work to increase the flavor, color and safety of sausages. Therefore, we should not waste a valuable, meaningful resource in such food processing.
