First time I discover this topic on Steemit and that gave me a smile. Of course it#s a big hoax and I think it is spread to get a lot of people confused.
I'd rather recommend to watch this channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrdVNf3Af5DqUZiLJNwP4IQ It is fringe science, astonishing but closer to reality by far... I would watch it because this guy speaks Spanish very slowly and it's exercise for me. That doesn't mean that I agree to the informations that are spread here but at least it's more inspiring.
