The video is a compilation of various common misconceptions and their debunkings. Here are the main points:
- Sunflowers do not follow the movement of the sun. They generally point towards the east side where the sun rises, but they do not follow the sun's movement throughout the day.
- Lightning can strike in the same place multiple times. It does not occur only once in the same place.
- Throwing a coin from a tall building will not necessarily cause someone's death. The speed of the coin will not be enough to cause severe injury.
- Ostriches do not bury their heads in the sand when they are scared. They throw themselves on the ground and pretend to be dead.
- Both men and women have the same number of ribs, 24 in total.
- Not all mosquitoes live for only one day. The lifespan of mosquitoes varies, with some species living for approximately 1 to 2 months.
- Wrinkles on fingers after a long time in the water or pool are not caused by absorbing water. It is an adaptation of the body to increase the grip of fingers when they get very wet.
- The song "Dough came under this bush far bomb" refers to the phrase "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer". However, this is not entirely true. The world is experiencing a decrease in extreme poverty.
- The story about the most expensive pen in the world that worked in space is not entirely accurate. Pencils were actually used in space before a pen that could write in zero gravity was developed.
- Albert Einstein did not fail at school because he was intelligent. He struggled due to his rebellious nature and dislike for authoritarianism.
- The video ends with a call to action, encouraging viewers to share the video if they found the information interesting and to leave comments with other misconceptions they know.
1. Sunflowers do not follow the movement of the sun. The sunflowers do not follow the movement of the sun to the east side where it rises or to the west side where it sets .
2. Lightning can strike twice or more in the same place. It's not a rule or a law that lightning can't strike twice in the same place .
3. If you throw a coin from a very tall building, it won't necessarily kill someone. The coin will reach its maximum speed of 80 kilometers per hour, and it won't go beyond that in a small object like a coin. At that speed, it's not enough to cause serious injury .
4. Ostriches do not bury their head in the ground when they are scared. They do something else, they throw themselves on the ground and pretend to be dead .
5. Both men and women have 24 ribs, 12 on each side. This fact is often misunderstood due to a biblical story .
6. Not all mosquitoes live for one day. Some mosquitoes live for 24 hours, but not all of them. Each species of mosquito has a variation in its lifespan .
7. When you stay in the water for a long time, your fingers and toes wrinkle because they absorb a lot of water. This is an adaptation of the human body .
8. Extreme poverty is decreasing in the world. This means that we increasingly have fewer poor people .
9. The most expensive pen in the world was a project carried out by the United States to be able to register in space. The pen worked independently of gravity .
10. The Russians and NASA were already using pencils in space. The story of a pen writing in zero gravity really happened but it was years later and it was developed by another company .
11. Albert Einstein got some bad grades in school not because he was not a student or because he was stupid, but because he couldn't stand authoritarianism and many teachers were very bossy .
