What are the famous jokes in biology?

The pronunciation of bees depends on the vibration of wings-this is a biological "common sense" contained in China primary school textbooks, but it was overturned by an experiment of a 12-year-old pupil named Nie Li. Nie Li's paper "Bees Flapping Their Wings Without Singing" won the Silver Award in the National Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition and the Gao Shiqi Special Award for Popular Science.

This scientific discovery comes from a pupil who is only 12 years old. It's really commendable! Countless biologists have not discovered the mystery of nature, and little Nelly has discovered it. Nelly overturned the "conclusion" from books that adults never doubted.

2. Sun Yat-sen:

Sun Yat-sen studied in a private school when he was a child. At that time, in class, the teacher read, and the students read along, making baby, just like singing. The teacher asked the students to recite one by one when they were familiar with it. The meaning of the book, Mr. Wang never said. One day, Mr. Wang taught another text. Sun Yat-sen can recite it after reading it several times. However, he still doesn't understand what the book says.

Sun Yat-sen thought, what's the use of this back? So he stood up bravely and asked, "Sir, what does this text you just asked us to recite mean?" Please tell us about it! " This question stunned the students who were shaking their heads to study, and the classroom was suddenly silent. Mr. Wang walked up to Sun Yat-sen with a ruler and asked sharply, "Can you recite it?"

"I'll carry it." Sun Yat-sen recited the text word for word as he spoke. Mr. Wang straightened his ruler, waved his hand, sat Sun Yat-sen down and said, "I thought when you grow up, you will naturally know the truth in the book." Since you want to hear it, I'll tell you. "Mr. Wang spoke in detail and everyone listened carefully.

3. Plato:

In class, the philosopher Socrates took out an apple, stood in front of the platform and said, "Please smell the air." . A student raised his hand and answered, "I smell it, it's the smell of apples ~" Socrates stepped down from the podium, holding an apple in his hand, and slowly walked past each student and told him, "Please smell it again carefully. Is there the smell of apples in the air? " At this time, half of the students have raised their hands.

Socrates returned to the podium and repeated the question just now. This time, all the students raised their hands except one who didn't raise their hands. Socrates walked up to the students and asked, "Do you really smell nothing?" The student said positively, "I really don't smell anything."

At this time, Socrates announced to the students: "He is right, because this is a fake apple." This student is the later famous philosopher Plato.

4. Darwin:

Darwin, a scientist called a monster by religious circles, risked his life and dared to question God's creation, saying that he believed that all the existing species on the earth evolved from older species.

After years of on-the-spot investigation, Darwin proved the correctness of his views and bravely published them, which finally made people walk out of the lies of the church and made great contributions to the development of biology in later generations. His discovery was called "one of the three great discoveries of the nineteenth century" by Marx.

5. Galileo:

Young Galileo boldly questioned Aristotle's theory based on his own empirical reasoning. After careful consideration, he decided to do an experiment by himself. He chose the Leaning Tower of Pisa as the experimental field.

On this day, Galileo brought two iron balls of the same size but different weights, one of which weighed 100 pounds and was solid; The other one weighs 1 kg and is hollow. Galileo stood on the leaning tower of Pisa and looked under it. The tower was crowded with people who came to watch, and everyone was talking about it.

Someone sarcastically said, "This young man must be crazy! Aristotle's theory cannot be wrong! " The experiment began. Galileo took an iron ball in each hand and shouted, "Look carefully, people below, the iron ball is going to fall." With that, he opened his hands at the same time. People saw two iron balls falling in parallel and falling to the ground almost at the same time. All the people were dumbfounded.

Galileo's experiment revealed the secret of falling body movement and overthrew Aristotle's theory. This experiment is of epoch-making significance in the history of physics development.
