What is the biggest lie of mankind in the twentieth century?

(1) Bermuda's "triangle of death"

Among many scientific scams, the legend of Bermuda is the most influential and widespread one, but its cause is only the legends of several American pilots in World War II. Because Bermuda is located in the center of the Atlantic Ocean, in order to attract more tourists, the Bermuda government did not try to clarify this apparently nonexistent "triangle of death", but made a fuss and even printed it in a travel brochure. Until 1980, the American and Australian scientific expeditions jointly issued a statement, which wrote: "There is nothing beyond nature in Bermuda." But rumors spread all over the world. It was not until 16 years later that some "scientists" claimed to have "discovered" the "Bermuda Mystery".

② Loch Ness "Water Monster"

The origin of the Loch Ness monster is even stranger than Bermuda. A few decades ago, an unknown photo of the "monster" in Loch Ness shocked the whole scientific community. Gus, who took this photo, was a local tourist receptionist. 10 years ago, he admitted that the so-called Loch Ness "monster" was composed of washing machine drain pipe, foam plastic and plastic bucket. His "craftsmanship" has created10 billion pounds of tourism income for the Loch Ness area in just a few years.

(3) "Discovery" of Noah's Ark

1984, British archaeologists announced that they had "discovered" the "Noah's Ark" recorded in the Bible in Egypt and distributed many pictures. But in fact, according to the Bible, Noah's Ark has reserved a place for every species in the world. According to this calculation, such a big ship has not yet been built by human beings. More importantly, Noah's Ark recorded in the Bible has never been to or tried to get close to Egypt.

(4) Mummies with "artificial hearts"

199 1, a "scientist" claimed that a mummy with an "artificial heart" was found in the pyramid, and the heart was still beating, which was said to be made of "black crystal". But the fact is that all the mummies in the pyramid have been moved into the museum, and no one can see the mummies inside the pyramid at 199 1.

(5) Superconductors at room temperature

1989 65438+In February, Indian scientists announced that they had "made" a superconductor at room temperature, and the resistance of this alloy was still zero at 37℃. Today, the most advanced superconducting alloys need to be around-100℃. Interestingly, not long after, Sri Lankan "scientists" also claimed that they had made room temperature superconductors. As a result, two countries with underdeveloped science became "big countries in science and technology" overnight.

(6) Cowhide tomatoes

In the mid-1980s, a British laboratory announced that they had successfully transplanted bovine genes into tomato genes. As a result, they "got" a finished product with skin like cowhide and pulp like tomato. This discovery caused a sensation in the world. It wasn't long before people found out that the news of this cowhide tomato was released on April Fool's Day.

(7) "Star Wars" plan

The "plan" announced by US President Ronald Reagan solemnly announced that the United States will set up three laser "defense lines" in space to resist possible nuclear attacks. Some clueless American scientists have pointed out that it is not feasible, but the former Soviet Union believed it. In order to establish a "Star Wars" system, it invested hundreds of billions of dollars, resulting in no human, material and financial resources. A few years later, the American government announced that the "Star Wars" plan was a trick to deceive the former Soviet government to spend money for nothing, and the United States never invested a penny in this idea.

(8) Rewriting the laws of thermodynamics

Also in the mid-1980s, a Sri Lankan student living in Britain claimed that he found the laws of thermodynamics wrong, because in the refrigerator, hot water freezes faster than cold water. Like cowhide tomatoes, the student announced his "discovery" on April 1 day.

(9) Capture "aliens" alive

On average, there are 200 cases of "discovery" and "aliens" in the United States every day, among which more than 10 cases of "aliens" are captured alive on average every day. Ironically, an American psychologist has concluded that anyone who claims to have seen aliens can't really have seen them.

(10) infrasound weapon

1984, several French scientists announced that they had "invented" infrasound weapons. Once activated, it will emit "infrasound waves" and cause death within the range of Fiona Fang 10 km. They said they accidentally started it.
