Schools are a means of education that must be applied around the world to educate a young generation. But not everything that is taught in school is true. Some have adapted certain circumstances, and some are due to the complexity of explanations that students have not been able to grasp at the time.
Here are some of the lies that still exist in school lessons almost all over the world.
Gravity in Space.
There is no gravitational force in space, at least that is the lesson taught in schools. In fact, the force of gravity in space remains, albeit lower and weaker than on Earth. It is gravity that causes the Moon to remain in its orbit and the Earth remains around the Sun. (Wait a minute, if gravity is weaker than on Earth, why are the moon the Moon and the Sun can survive in orbit with weak gravity?) And if you see astronauts hovering in space, they are not flying but falling.Diamond.
A diamond is a material produced and shaped because of solid coal, that's the lesson taught in school. But actually Diamond is a carbon compound that is trapped in the Earth's abdomen when the Earth is formed. The proof of the age of diamond is much older than dead plants that form coal.Thomas A. Edison.
The name of the inventor of this one must have been familiar to the ears of all buddies, that is because of the invention of the Lamp Ball. But did you know that the real Lamp Bright creator was Heinrich Goebel in 1854. After heinrich got through, Edison had bought his patent and upgraded it.Van Gogh.
It is known that Van Gogh was an artist who had his own ear barrel when experiencing mental illness. But the true story is not like that, it turns out his ear is dipped by other artists with a sword called Paul Gauguin as they fight. And this truth was revealed only after he died.Chameleon.
What is the purpose Chameleon changed its warnannya? Most students will surely answer; Camouflage, to avoid danger from the enemy, then your answer is less precise. It turns out that the color change in Chameleons is a method that is applied to communicate with each other because there is danger, or also to mate. And also Chameleon change the color to regulate body temperature. For example when they get dark, they use to absorb more heat.Christopher Columbus.
There are actually two things wrong with Christopher Columbus. First of all, Columbus was not the first to discover that the Earth is round. The fact is that in the distant past about 200 years before the Columbus era, the ancient Greeks said that the shape of the Earth was indeed round. (Either this flat round flat like a coin or round like a globe ball.) Then the second mistake is Columbus is not the inventor of the American continent. The first inventor was a Viking named Leif Ericson.Part of the Specific Tongue.
Surely you are familiar with this one lesson, that the tongue is a sense of human taste that has a certain point to be able to mebedakan sweet, salty, bitter, and sour taste. If the parts of the tastes that are taught in school are like the examples of the picture above, then it is wrong. Actually the entire surface of the tongue has the same function, that is feeling the taste of food that you eat. Truly the protein on the Tongue that causes the sour taste to warn us that the food is stale.Sir Isaac Newton.
It is known that the lessons at school teach us that Newton discovered the force of gravity after seeing an apple fall on his head. Everyone already knows that, but in fact all things will not move without being affected by power or power. Newton himself explained that the theory of gravity he found was not because of an apple that fell on his head. Even his discovery was long before that, and the story of the fallen apple has not been proven to be true.Abraham Lincoln.
When we learn about history at school, we are certainly told that Abraham Lincoln was a strong opponent of the system of enslavement. But in 1862, Abraham had written; "If I can save a nation without freeing the slaves, then I will do it." In fact, the proclamation of slave liberation signed by Abraham is valid only in certain provinces.
