Fish has a three-second memory joke.

Maybe everyone has heard that the memory of fish is only seven seconds. After seven seconds, it will forget everything, and the scene in front of it will be completely new, so they will never be bored. Many people think this sentence is very literary after listening to it, whether it is chicken soup for the soul or love guidance.

Moreover, many netizens claimed that this sentence was said by Shakespeare, and some people said it was a poem by Xu Zhimo. But I have to say that netizens' brains are very big. In order to prove the rigor of this sentence, even the big names in history have moved out. But we are going to debunk this rumor today.

First of all, this passage is only circulated on the Internet, not said by Shakespeare or written by Xu Zhimo. This can be confirmed as long as you look up Xu Zhimo's poems. This passage is labeled as a celebrity just to make it easier for everyone to believe and accept.

Secondly, the memory of fish is more than seven seconds, and the average fish has about a week. If it is a specially trained fish, the memory can last for more than one month. So don't believe that fish's memory is only seven seconds. It's just poisoned chicken soup. Maybe the fish will think that you are insulting their IQ.

Maybe some readers don't believe me, so let's analyze this absurd sentence from a scientific point of view. First of all, let's assume that the fish's memory is only seven seconds, if we feed it food that it doesn't like. When they took a bite, they found that the food was not what they wanted, and then they spit it out.

Only after seven seconds, that is to say, the fish forgot to eat the food they didn't like, so they will continue to eat and then spit it out. At this time, the fish has fallen into an infinite loop and there is no way to jump out. Finally, waiting for their end, I'm afraid I'm starving.

There are also some scientists who have done very rigorous experiments. They put goldfish in a big fish tank, and then they will emit light, and then they will release electric shocks. After several experiments, goldfish will swim to the other side as soon as they see the light. When they experimented again a month later, the goldfish still remembered the evasive skills.

If we tell more lies, people will take them as facts, but as long as we study further, we will be close to the truth. Therefore, in the contemporary era when the Internet is developed, we should not believe online rumors too easily, but look at them with suspicion. If a fish can talk, the first thing it needs to clarify is this matter.
