1. Einstein got bad grades in school
Several generations of children were warmed by the myth that the famous physicist and Nobel Prize winner had problems with his performance at school. Adults whose children did not make much progress in school also consoled themselves with this. However, in reality this was not the case at all: Albert Einstein studied very well at school, especially in science and mathematics, which, however, is not surprising given his genius abilities. According to the publication, the misconception is explained by the fact that since the physicist’s childhood, the grading system in Germany has been reformed, and “fours” began to be perceived as “twos.”
2. Mice love cheese
In all cartoons, mice go crazy for cheese, there is a saying about free cheese in a mousetrap - in general, most people are sure that mice really like this dairy product. However, this is not true - mice prefer sweet foods, as well as peanut butter and cereal products.
3. Napoleon was short
The behavior of an aggressive, ambitious man of short stature is often explained by the so-called Napoleon complex. At the same time, short men themselves really like the parallels with the Emperor of France. The myth about the commander’s height appeared after an incorrect translation; in fact, his height was approximately 170 cm - in the 18th-19th centuries this was the average height for a man. After this myth was debunked, Napoleon did not rank among the shortest rulers in the world, as he turned out to be too tall for this list.
4. Thomas Edison invented the light bulb
Edison invented many wonderful things, he was one of the most brilliant inventors of all time, but the light bulb still has nothing to do with him. The light bulb was invented by Englishman Joseph Suen.
5. Lemmings throw themselves off cliffs to commit suicide.
This misconception entered the minds and went for a walk around the world after showing an old Disney film about the life of wild nature. In fact, this is just a myth that has nothing to do with reality, and these animals do not commit group suicide.
6. In different hemispheres, the water in the funnel swirls in different directions
How often children watch in fascination as water goes into a drain hole, for example, in a bathtub, spinning into a funnel. Many adults are convinced that in the other hemisphere the water will spin in the other direction, but this, alas, is not the case.
7. Humans evolved from monkeys
Darwin's theory does not confirm this at all - the scientist only proved that primates had a common ancestor in the distant past.
I’ll add one more popular misconception about Darwin’s theory. Allegedly, his theory of evolution says that the fittest survive. In fact, Darwin spoke about the survival of the fittest.
8. Vikings wore horned helmets
This may upset a lot of people, but it is pure fiction. Scientists explain this misconception by the fact that the Vikings were buried with their military helmets, and animal horns were also placed in the graves, intended for drinking strong drinks. When the first Viking graves were excavated, some archaeologists suggested that these horns were on helmets and simply fell off. However, not a single Viking Age battle helmet with horns actually attached to it was found, nor was there any other evidence of this myth (on the Bayeux carpet, for example, there are no horns on Norman helmets).
9. Columbus believed the earth was flat
According to The Times, many Britons, like people in other countries, think that Columbus believed the earth was flat, but then it is unclear why he took a roundabout route to India.
10. Different parts of the tongue respond to different tastes
Humans do have different taste buds on the tongue, and some are more sensitive to bitter or sweet than others. But they are not at all divided into sections in the language.
