MYTHS AND SCIENCE( TOP 5 MYTHS DEBUNKED)

Welcome to LearnImmense, where you will gain the best knowledge ever!!..

What is a myth ?

The main role of education is debunking of unknown or miseducation. That is finding and correcting many myths that emerged from social media, the internet and folk wisdom. Fortunately, we are here to help you all with the series of debunking these myths. The reality, as they say, believe and reveal will surely set you free!!( Myths debunked)

MYTH-1 : WE HAVE FIVE SENSES.

SCIENCE: You all know that human beings have 5 senses, (Sight/Visual), (Touch/Tactile),(Sound/Auditory), (Taste/Gustatory),(Smell/Olfactory). Besides these five empirical senses, the 4 senses are often rarely cited;

PROPRIOCEPTION-Sensing of one’s orientation.

THERMOCEPTION-Sensing of temperature.

EQUILIBRIOCEPTION-Sense of balance.

INTEROCEPTION-Sense of one’s condition of physiology.

MYTH-2: “BULLS BECOME ANGRY WHEN THEY SEE RED COLOR”.

SCIENCE: The very well known and popular myth is that bulls become angry when they see red during bullfighting. But bulls and other cattle are partially colour blind and cannot see the colour of red. In a bullfight, when a matador waves around a red cape(muleta), the bull or any defensive creatures will get charged, that is they get frightened or just annoyed. The bull is charged by the red cape with high power. However bulls don’t mind the sight of red colour, but they get angry at the sight of taunting and threatening jerks.

MYTH-3 : “AN APPLE A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY”.

SCIENCE: Apples are important to long term health in which they are packed with VITAMIN C and fibre content in it. Unfortunately, an apple will do nothing to protect you if a certain virus or bacteria enters your body system.

MYTH-4 : “EATING ICE CREAM WILL MAKE YOUR COLD WORSE”.

SCIENCE: The common saying that eating ice -creams increase muscles production in your body is, fortunately, a false saying. Frozen dairy products make a sore throat to get a soothing feel and provides calories even if you may not eat at ordinary times. So, if you are sick with a cold at home, you can go ahead and make comfort yourself with some tasty chill ice-creams.

MYTH-5 : “YOUR BLOOD TURNS BLUE WHEN ITS OUT OF OXYGEN”.

SCIENCE: Your blood colour is never blue. The myth is debunked by the scientific truth that blood only looks blue because you are seeing it through several layers of tissues, muscles which filter the red colour of blood to be viewed as blue colour.
