Ladies and gentlemen, good evening!
Welcome to the 34th Inaugural Nobel Prize for Funny Nobel Prize, I want to die of it!!
Don't ask why it's the first time, it's the law of nature
Compared to next month, a certain Nobel Prize will be awarded in Scandivia. The effect of the funny Nobel Prize program has never been lost, and it may even be more in line with the mental state of contemporary young people, revealing a faint sense of madness everywhere.
Here, you can learn about all kinds of scientific research results that you can't think of, or even want to know. Up to whether the pig will breathe with a chrysanthemum, down to whether it is really fair to toss a coin.
Without further ado, let's get started.
This year, the event is finally back in person, into the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In the solemn classroom, the hand-to-hand fight with paper airplanes was staged as promised.
According to the convention, the final winner of the Nobel Comedy Prize will receive a generous prize of 10 trillion Zimbabwe coins (a treasure sold for dozens of dollars).
This time, Little Pepper won't sell it to everyone, and will directly announce the award.
This year's grand prize went to the Japanese, who are in the most abnormal mental state. But after reading the content of the research, Pepper can only say one thing: This award should be won by you...
# Biology Prize: Anal Breathing
They found that mammals can breathe through the rectum.
No, Pepper is strange, why do you Japan have such a hard time with chrysanthemums. In 18 years, a Japan also won an award for his research on "self-examination of the colon in a sitting position".
This year this one is even heavier.
The reason for this is the discovery that loaches and catfish can use their hindgut to give oxygen (EVA) to them in an emergency.
Thus, the smart little brains of the Japanese began to turn. Since loaches are good, then we can't do it ( no ).
They brought in rats and pigs for experiments. The experiment was as simple as keeping the animals in a state of severe hypoxia and then filling their rectums with gas or oxygen.
Eventually, they found that the rectum was filled with gas, which really prolonged the survival of the animals. Especially in the case of intestinal wear-out, the oxygen supply effect is particularly gratifying...
Because there is a layer of tiny blood vessels underneath the rectum, it makes it easier to absorb the drug given to the anus.
Xiao Chili pondered, many people poured wine into chrysanthemums, is it about the same principle.
However, it is a pity that the human backyard cannot withstand such soft grinding and hard bubbles, so there is no way to enter clinical trials at present.
# Peace Prize: Pigeon Missile
After reading such a heavy mouth, let's make a few small fresh points.
This year's Peace Prize was awarded to a missile from World War II.
The reason why it was awarded is probably because it has not been useful in the war from beginning to end.
At that time, a behaviorist in the United States twisted his ass and came up with a supernatural idea - to use pigeons to control missiles.
In front of the missile, he set up a small "cockpit" for the pigeon to operate, and a screen that showed the situation ahead.
By training pigeons to observe ground targets from the sky, and then pecking at the screen with their mouths, the missile control is completed. When it pecks in the middle, the missile flies straight up, and when it pecks at the edge, the missile flies to the side.
Even, in order to improve accuracy, 3 pigeons were put in, according to the principle of "the minority obeys the majority".
However, what is really abstract in this story is that in the end, it was really up to the behaviorist to get it done, and some well-trained pigeons did the job successfully.
Unexpectedly, in the end, it was "unfortunate to lose" to electronic equipment guidance, and the US military chose the latter...
# Probability Prize: Coin toss is not fair
Many poor friends may be angry, co-authoring and losing for so many years, all because I was faked?
A huge team of 50 researchers, through extremely rigorous experiments and repeated 350757 coin tosses, proved that in fact, the probability of two sides of the coin is not equal.
In order to prevent some experimenters from being lazy or cheating
They also went live for 12 hours
Of the 350757 tosses, a total of 178078 results resulted in the initial face up of the coin.
That is, if we throw it face up, then the probability of landing face up at the end is 50.8%.
In fact, mathematicians have demonstrated it as early as 2007. It has to do with our posture, the coin we toss is not a perfect drop flipping vertically, but has a forward movement.
This results in the coin being in the air for a little longer with its initial side up.
So next time you should guess which side, everyone should have counted it.
# Demographics Prize: Centenarians May Just Be Misremembering Their Age?
I believe that from childhood to adulthood, we should have heard of what longevity village, centenarian people, 99 years old in the village are all at the level of a guy...
However, an Australia research institute found that the real secret of longevity for these super old people over 110 years old has nothing to do with going to bed early and waking up early and exercising more.
The real reason is that the census was not done well in the early years, and many people made mistakes in their birth diaries, or they were simply bragging.
Researchers found that when a state started keeping a good record of births, there was an immediate 69% ~ 82% decrease in the number of people who lived to the age of 110.
Many old people don't live to that age at all, just past their 60th birthday, but insist that they are 130.
On the one hand, the elderly may not be able to remember how old they are.
In addition, some people deliberately exaggerate their age, in order to cheat some pensions or something. Because a lot of centenarians are in the locality, there are often high crime rates and poverty rates.
Distribution of poor prefectures and centenarians in Japan
There are many other similar nonsensical studies. The world is in turmoil, and they are the only ones who care about the seemingly trivial things.
For example, why can dead fish actually swim? How to find out a drunk bug?
And, in fact, most people in the world have clockwise hairspins, but people in the southern hemisphere have more clockwise hairspins.
Seeing this, how many people began to subconsciously touch the top of their heads.
But there are some experiments that are really relevant to research.
The team on anal breathing, for example, ultimately hopes to determine the effectiveness of the technique in humans in a clinical setting to treat lung failure.
Don't forget, our purpose is to "make people laugh and think." ”
So who can study the reason why Golden Retriever Hot Pot eats weight loss meals every day and still loses from 80 catties to 96 catties?
